My middle son is 5 today! Yay!! I want to cry, because he is growing up so fast. He woke up this morning and it was like I was looking at a young man and not my little 4 year old anymore. We have an awesome birthday planned for him to do on Sunday when everyone is off from work and out of school. Just a family outing and maybe a few people to join us. Build a Bear here we come. Now Runnnnnn!!!
Now on to my daily thought of today. Are some people just completely and totally clueless? I know this is a mean and rude judgement on people, but I feel like people aren't stopping to look at the full complete picture. Dalton Fletcher was indicted yesterday for the murder of his parents. He will be tried as an adult. The local paper's website stated today that he is looking at life in prison without possibility of parole if he is found guilty. I am sure he will be found guilty of the murder since he has already stated that yes he done it. This yes is a 15 year old child. People think he shouldn't be tried as an adult. People think he should be treated as a child. They think he needs intervention and help.
What do I think? I think he is a monster. Intervention and help should have been done before he killed his parents. When those first small signs were showing that he was unstable is when it should have been done. This boy could have a chemical imbalance. He could have watched one too many horror movies and got the wrong idea about murder. He could have sat and thought, "Hey I am a kid so if I do this with how young I am I will get off easy". They have even said in the picture of him in the back seat of the OPSO car he looks lost and confused. Sorry to disappoint everyone, but that is a look of, "Uh Oh!" That is the look any child gets when they realize they are in deep doo doo. From this point on and I quote the DA, "He WILL be treated as an adult." He is now booked in the big boys' jail. He is now in an Orange Jumpsuit like the big boys. He wanted to play like a big boy with a big boy toy now he can face the consequences of not playing nice.
People need to stop and think about this. He killed his parents in cold blood while they slept. Shot both of them in the head. Shot his father twice. Then showered and went to bed as if all was normal. He then got up the next morning like nothing was wrong. He got dressed for school and drove his mom's car there with a shot gun and 3 shells in the trunk. There is uncertainty of why he had the shot gun at school with him, but it was said he had threatened his ex girlfriend and told her she was next all because she broke up with him the night before. He could have taken that gun into the school with an arsenal and shot teachers, staff and students with the mental state he is/was in. If he is capable of killing the people who brought him into this world he is capable of killing anyone.
Now if he was tried as a minor he would probably be out by the time he is 21... I don't know a lot on the law when it comes to that, but this was mentioned by someone else. That is in about 6 years. 6 years people is not a punishment for committing murder in any degree. Okay he gets out in 6 years after being in Green Oaks around other children where he could lose it and hurt one of them with his bare hands just, because they looked at him funny. He gets out at the age of 21 and is okay for a month or so. Then one day say he was in a store. The cashier makes him mad. He walks out and sits and waits. He watches for that cashier to leave the store. He follows her to her home. He notices say she is a single mother with 2 kids. He waits for the right moment and breaks into her house and shoots her and her children dead. Where did our system help any if this happened? That could be your daughter, son, grandkids, sister, brother, cousin and so forth that this could happen to if this monster is not taken off of the streets and out of our community. This is to protect all of you who are sitting at home saying he shouldn't be treated or tried as an adult. You wouldn't be saying that if he hurt your child or one of your family members outside of hurting his own family. I can see his own family each having different opinons on it and mixed opinions and mixed emotions, but us as the public have to look at one thing and its not how he is a minor. It is at the fact that this could have been you. This could have been someone in your family. Just think about that one while you are feeling sorry for this child, because he will be tried as an adult. Instead feel sorry for his family. Feel sorry for his parents, because their son done this and now has people thinking they must have been horrible people then. Feel sorry for his sister for having to been there when it happened. Feel sorry for the rest of their family, because they have to ask why and try and piece together how.
The Fletcher Family (outside from Dalton) are all in my prayers. Dalton himself needs to be the one down on his knees right now praying to the Lord above. He needs to be praying every second for his soul and praying for God's forgiveness. This child's soul was lost the second he pulled that trigger the first shot.

That would never happen here... But it just did.
West Ouachita community was devastated yesterday. While the principal of West Ouachita High School talked with staff about the suicide of Nathan Redmond they received information from the school resource officers that their school was going on lockdown. Students were told to turn their desk over and hide behind them. They were locked in the classrooms. What possibly could have caused them to go from mourning the loss of a student who took his life to this? In the 7am hour of the morning Ouachita Parish police officers received a phone call stating that there were 2 people murdered in their home and the possible suspect was on his way to WOHS to harm a student. Dalton Fletcher was arrested at the school (no students were harmed and no shots were fired despite rumors). There was a shotgun found in his vehicle not on him.
The police have no motives as to why this happened, but some if not all students know why. Dalton's girlfriend broke up with him which had caused him to lose it. He shot his parents some said Thursday night, but others say Friday morning. He sent death threats via text messages to his girlfriend and told her she was next. I have seen rumors on the internet of people saying that the he shot his parents because his girlfriend was pregnant and they kicked him out of the house for getting her pregnant. No that is incorrect. Another was that he killed his friend (the boy who committed suicide) who came after him to look for him. Said he shot him behind the school. No this is incorrect. No students were shot on campus. No gunshots were even fired on campus. I don't even think Nathan Redmond committed suicide at or behind the school. Nathan Redmond from what was told committed suicide because him as a 16 year old just found out his girlfriend is pregnant. This is the only thing I heard about his suicide besides the news stating it is not related to the murders.
I find it so stupid how these murders push the news of a child taking his life out of the news of just a mention, "yes there was a suicide, but cops said it is not linked to the murders and the lockdown" yet they find the time to plaster up about a 91 year old man killing himself, because he was sad about his wife dying the day before. He lived his life. Feel sorrow and move on. We just had one child kill himself (during suicide awareness month none the less) and another turn murder! The monster has gotten more pity, sorrow and so forth given than the family who just lost a child to sorrow. This boy lost his parents by his own hand! Why tell someone on their Facebook that you love him, to stay strong he will make it through this and how much he is going to be missed and he is your best friend. You should tell him that he needs to pray not that you will be praying for him. I pray that justice is shown and he is given the mental help he obviously needs. You can read through his post from this summer and see something is up with this kid. He posted up once that his world has been shattered and when asked why simply states "Taylor" (his girlfriend). When someone asked why what did she do he told them nothing yet, but when she does he will let them know. This is not something from a logical mind!
The family had problems for a year or two. This child had gone through issues yet his parents never seeked the help he apparently needed. Now look at where he's at. They are killed by his hand with a shotgun and he is sitting in police custody. He was going to kill a girl for Christ sake! Someone else's child! All because she dumped him. I am sorry if you weren't a jerk like you admitted to being in a previous post on your Facebook then maybe she wouldn't keep breaking up with you. Young girls seriously need to learn the signs of a possible bad situation. Our schools need to teach them plus the parents how to watch for certain signs. Not only for an outcome like this, but also for signs of a child who is capable of suicide. We need to teach our kids that no matter what happens in life you can be strong and get through it. You don't have to take your life or someone else's life just because your hurt or angry. Drama in teen life comes and goes. There will be more things to come along later. Some possibly worse than the following. You have to be strong and learn from it. Grow from it. Not go and kill your parents then go after your girlfriend! Or take your own life and leave your family here distraught over your loss.
I am really shocked and amazed over this. I am still angered over the post people put on this child's Facebook, because in my eyes I don't see where or how he deserves remorse. It doesn't matter if you know the person. This person you obviously did not know very well if you did not know he was capable of this. Why not have remorse for his family instead. Tell him I can't believe you done this I will be praying for your sister and the rest of your family. The only prayer you get from me is the prayer for your soul as to the fact you just lost it when you pulled the trigger of that shotgun and took your own parents' lives. This is something that really angers me and disgust me. This child is a monster in my eyes and I have zero respect and zero remorse for him as a person. He is no longer a person, but an animal. If people want to stop and be angered by this opinion of mine just stop and think about it like this. What if it was your child at that school yesterday when it went on lockdown? What if that was your daughter he was dating and because she dumped him he texted her threating her? Making her fear she really was going to die. What if he did have that shotgun on him in the school and he did start shooting? What if he took your child's life over something as petty as being dumped? What if you were part of this boy's family? If you were his sister? What if his mom or dad was your sibling and your own nephew just took their life? I know it is what ifs and people think yea, but it didn't happen (as far as kids at the school being hurt). It doesn't matter just put yourself in their shoes and then tell me you can still have remorse for this child other than the sadness of knowing someone that close to your family done this.
