Updated Story From 11 p.m. Newscast

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Murder suspect Dennis Mills was set free Thursday after a jury found him innocent.

The key question in the case was if Mills was a cold-blooded killer or if he acted in self-defense the night Randy Gue died.

Mills took the stand, telling his side of the story.

"There was a progression of events that escalated where deadly force seemed necessary," he said. "Either he was going to kill me or I was going to have to stop him."

In the end, the jury believed Mills.

"He got up there, said Rich Weston, Mills' defense lawyer. "I think the jury looked at him and could tell he was telling the truth, and on cross-examination they got nothing out of him."

It was a verdict that Gue's family and friends were not prepared to hear.

"I would not want to be the jury that made that decision after all that evidence was put in front of them showing that man was 100 percent guilty," said Charlotte Blair, who is Gue's aunt. "He was guilty."

Mills had an emotional outburst after he was acquitted.

"There's nothing to be happy about," he said. "There's nothing to go through my mind. This is just a time to cry."

Following the verdict, Mills was taken to the Western Regional Jail where he was released Thursday evening as a free man.

UPDATE @ 5:07pm Thursday
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A jury has found Dennis Mills not guilty of murder in the stabbing death of Randy Gue at Huntington's Harris Riverfront Park last October.

Gue's family wept in the courtroom as the judge read the verdict.

Earlier Thursday, Mills testified Gue was trying to break into his car--where he was asleep. Mills said he killed gue in self defense.

The defense attorney said it was Mills' testimony that won the case because, bottom line, the jury believed him.

UPDATE @ 3pm Thursday
The case went to the jury shortly before 3 p.m. in the trial of a man charged with stabbing another man to death.

Dennis Mills was the only witness for the defense. He told the court that he was provoked; and that it was "kill or be Killed."


UPDATE @ 10am Thursday
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Testimony continues Thursday morning in the murder trial of a man charged with stabbing another man to death.

Dennis Mills is on trial for the death of Randy Gue.

The prosecution is expected to wrap up its case sometime Thursday morning.

We're told that when the defense presents its case, Mills is expected to testify in his own defense.

The case could go to the jury late Thursday afternoon.

UPDATE @ 6pm Wednesday
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – Lifesaving self-defense or a vicious unprovoked attack – that’s what jurors must decide in a Huntington murder case that began Wednesday.

Dennis Mills is on trial for the murder of Randy Gue. It happened last October at Harris Riverfront Park when Gue was stabbed in the throat. The prosecution said Gue was looking for a lighter in an abandoned car when Mills jumped out, threatened him and slashed his throat.

The defense said Mills was asleep in his car, which was also his home, when Gue tried to break into the car and steal from him.

The victim's girlfriend, Ellen Flees, testified for the prosecution. She was followed by several law enforcement officers and an emergency worker. The case continues Thursday.

I Love you Aunt Donna - we will miss Randy and remember the Fun and Good times and his wonderful Smile!!!!
Posted by: Donna-Randy's Mother on Oct 6, 2008 at 02:26 PM
Well, I'm going to do my best to put all this to rest. Randy was not a drug crazy, he got addicted to pain killers for kidney stones, which he got on a regularly because of too much calcium in his body. That led to the other stuff. I did know my son, yes, he was picked up in a raid, but released that night because they had no evidence. He was coming home to his 1 yr. old baby and to get the rehab that WV wouldn't provide. Mr. Mills said on the stand that there was no way Randy or Ellen knew he was there, he was all covered up, so the idea that he meant to hurt him was crazy. Dennis has been arrested before for pulling a knife on a nurse at the VA hospital (it's documented) that's why he wasn't there. He has family and was homeless by choice, he is just an odd little mad who needs help. The car looked abandoned, they had alot of their own valuables in their cars, and money. They were not trying to rob him. If they had kno They just surprised each other and it got out of hand.

Okay, the drug comments should just really stop. The decisions my uncle made were his own, you don't kno his life or what he went through so just drop it. And for those of you who don't know the whole story why are you commenting? why bother putting an oppinion into something you kno nothing about? Let me tell you all something i don't care who you are you would NOT like for the cops to be at your door at 4 in the morning tellin you that your son, brother etc was killed. NO ONE would. and no one would appreciate that the man who took his life got away no matter what the circumstances are. So just think about that before you put your opinion in someone elses life, because our family now knows how it feels. And we just want to get through this without everyone else and there oppinion. Your oppinion is like an as*hole everyone has one keep your to yourself. And another thing when we got the report there were three lighters in the car randy was in, u tell me he was robbin him for a lighter.

The trial is over, let Randy rest in his grave and let Dennis move on. None of us were there so none of us will ever know what happen to the full extent.Randy should have not broke in this man's "Home" and Randy's "So called girlfriend" should have stepped in to try to prevent this tragedy by calling the police or removing Randy from this situation. I hear everyone RIPPING Randy and Dennis apart when Ellen played a roll in this as well, (Watch her on the news when it first happen)She told lies to. But it is what it is, no he shouldn't have been killed but it happend and nothing is going to bring Randy back. Hopefully people will learn from this and be kind to one another. Leave Dennis alone he did what he felt he needed to do and i'm sure he didn't mean to "Kill" Randy but it happend. So move on people, go to work or something, find something better to do than rip people apart.It's getting rediculous already. Let Randy's family cope with this, let Dennis cope with this in peace. JEEZE!!
Posted by: Nadine on Sep 15, 2008 at 05:01 PM
It is amazing to me that you are all making this dennis guy sound like some kind of hero. So you say Randy was a drug user, yeah, and about half the population is too!! How many people do you know who sleep in CARS at the riverfront??!! Everyone keeps saying how wonderful of a man and veteran he is - then WHY WAS HE HOMELESS???!!! WHY DID HE HAVE A "HIT-LIST" OF PEOPLE IN HIS WALLET? Why wasn't he in a shelter or in the V.A.?? --- because he was deemed "TOO DANGEROUS" to be there that's why...That's why the whole investigation was shady, the trial was shady and they cleaned Mr. Mills up real nice didn't they?!...the City and the V.A. didn't want Randy's blood to be on their hands!! (Though faking the truth will NEVER make it the truth) Let's be clear, I do believe you have the right to kill another if they are trying to KILL YOU or YOUR FAMILY... not if they are ROBBING you!! Especially over a darn lighter!! God bless you WV... ya'll need it!

So, it seems that some mis-information is being put in this blog. WSAZ, why don't you get the court transcript and verify the wounds of the dead robber? Perhaps then people will stop dragging the true victim, the one exonerated by trial, through the mud anymore.
Posted by: Tom on Sep 14, 2008 at 01:16 PM
should never had gone to trial to begin with!...the prosecutor even admitted that the evidence was minimal. Where were the theives supporters when he was leading a life of crime and drugs?!
Posted by: The Truth Needs Told on Sep 14, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Hey WSAZ you have aloud the Gue family to lie as to how many times Randy was stabbed on your blog, but you won't let The Whole Truth be Told, you were in the courtroom the whole time and yet you continue to let the community belive Randy was beat with a pipe and stabbed twenty plus times. He was stabbed once in the arm, and then his neck after he still kept comming at Mills also Randy had no marks to indicate he was struck with a pipe Dennis did have a large cut on the side of his head so it looked like Randy struck him with the pipe.If you aren't going to let THE WHOLE TRUTH BE TOLD then don't allow LIES to be told either! NOT TWENTY BUT TWICE, NO MARKS TO INDICATE RANDY WAS HIT WITH A PIPE,ONE LARGE CUT ON MILL'S HEAD TO INDICATE HE WAS HIT WITH A PIPE!
Posted by: Anyone Else Thinking Overkill? on Sep 14, 2008 at 10:08 AM
To Mr. Obvious, As I've stated below I do understand defending yourself. What happened to Mr. Gue by Mr. Mills was a blatantly over-kill. Even in the laws for home invasion as you mentioned, you must feel threatened to continue to defend yourself. After Mr. Gue was down, there was no longer any need for Mr. Mills to continue to "defend" himself. I do not condone stealing. In fact I can't stand a liar or a thief, but I wouldn't kill them for it. I'm tired of crime against hard-working people too. If you are so comfortable with the verdict, then why don't you allow Mr. Mills to come stay with you and yours. I know I'd feel a lot better knowing he was being supervised by you. Thanks from all the hard-working people in the Tri-State area who will sleep a little easier knowing someone's monitoring Mr. Mills.
Posted by: Mel on Sep 14, 2008 at 06:16 AM
I have read every post and I think that it is a shame that the family of Randy all of a sudden now care. Did you care when he was down and out doing drugs and stealing? If you did then you should of spent some time trying to help him.
Posted by: anon on Sep 13, 2008 at 11:53 PM
The medical examiner said at trial that Randy had a wound to his arm and the throat stab. He wasn't stabbed 20 times and neither side disputed that.
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 13, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Randy was cut twice not twenty times he also was'nt struck with a pipe the media should come forth with what really happened they were at the trail but still will not correct thier story two time not twenty no marks on randy to show he was hit with a pipe mills had a large cut on the side of his head that needed stiches though looked like he was hit with the pipe
Posted by: MrObvious on Sep 13, 2008 at 12:57 AM
The criminal was not killed over a lighter. He was killed because he invaded someones private vehicle, someones home in this case. The person in the car fought back. Now, I suppose many of you feel that he just should have said, "Oh, take anything you want Mr. Gue. Let me get out of your way." Maybe he should have let Mr. Gue rough him up a bit and rob him of his last dime? Mr. Gue was ROBBING an innocent person sleeping in his car. It doesn't matter if it takes one hit, two hits, 20 hits, 1 stab or 20 stabs, the law recognizes that you can use deadly force to defend yourself from attack. And yes, Mr. Gue was guilty of attacking Mr. Mills. It is the same thing as a Home Invasion. How many of you would allow criminals to barge into your home and take what they want? Would you let them in then wait and see if they intended to hurt or kill you? I think not. This man was sleeping, then awakened to find himself in the fight of his life. Hopefully other criminals will take heed.

this is a sad case all the way around , I do think it wouldn't hurt for Mr. Mills to get some mental help. I think a blow to the head, 20 plus stabs and slit his throat was a little over kill. Yes he had a right to defend himself , but how could someone just keep stabbing and stabbing over 20 times, that is scary. Huntington is a horrible horrible place anymore. I have lots of friends in Huntington and I am afraid to even visit them anymore . May I should stop watching the news and reading about all the craziness going on. I can remember when the river front was a nice place to go sit and just over look the water, now it is a place for homeless people. You can't walk on the streets cause you don't know who is going to shoot you . Can't even shop there anymore without being approached by homeless. I feel for the homeless , but as a woman I am also scared when approached by a stranger.
Posted by: MrObvious on Sep 13, 2008 at 12:45 AM
Most of y'all miss the point. Thief tries to break into an occupied vehicle. Does not run when man inside wakes up. Man inside fears for life and defends himself against a criminal that was, by the girlfriends admission, attempting to break into another vehicle. Criminals need to learn that breaking the law can lead to deadly consequences. How would you feel, sleeping soundly, then waking up to someone hovering over you breaking into your vehicle. This was a good verdict and it doesn't matter what all you people say about what a great guy the robber was. He was still a low down thief and perhaps worse. You were not there, so when you say that the victim had no right to defend himself, you are wrong. He was afraid for his life and he defended himself. Thank God the jury was able to discern that.
Posted by: Educated Viewpoint on Sep 12, 2008 at 10:49 PM
It's understandable that Mr. Mills, if the story is correct, had the right to defend himself. However, to resort to slitting someone's throat, beating them in the head with a pipe and stabbing the perpetrator over times over a possession seems way more than a self defense claim. Drugs have ways of destroying families and logical rationale, but that can be said of a man forced to live in his car too. To me it sounds like Mr. Mills was a bit off himself. I didn't say that I don't feel for his plight at being homeless at the time of this incident, but I sure can't understand feeling the need to brutally murder someone over a lighter, car or any other possession. I've been robbed and yes, it sucks, but to kill someone over a thing is a most ridiculous argument. If you want to know why people look down on WV, just look at the "justice" coming out of Huntington. Protecting yourself or a loved one is entirely different from killing for a lighter. People are just plain stupid.
Posted by: MOD on Sep 12, 2008 at 09:40 PM
Wonder how Randy's family would have felt if the roles were reversed. I will tell you they would have been at court en masse to tell how scared he was when a crazy crack head tried to break into the car/house he was living in was broke into. I can hear them saying Randy was only protecting his stuff and now he's in jail and on trial for murder. Heck I bet they would even say what would you do if someone was breaking in your house? Randy played Russian roulette many times in his life and finally took a fatal blow. People are just tired of all the stealing by drug addicts and I best several members of jury have had stuff ripped off. I know I have and it don't feel good. Old Testament justice was meted out on Randy, swift and boldly.
Posted by: nick on Sep 12, 2008 at 07:42 PM
No one got away with murder like OJ Simpson....that was California not WV! At least Mr. Mills was trying to protect himself and his property. If O.J. HAD been convicted, his supporters would've burned L.A DOWN! Can't please everybody. That's why we have a jury and a judge-----GET OVER IT PEOPLE. It's sad that Gue died, but he SHOULDN'T HAVE been messing with someone else's property!
Posted by: Nadine on Sep 12, 2008 at 04:53 PM
First, please stop saying Randy was "robbing" Mr. Mills. What could he possibly have thought he could get from a homeless man living in a car with blankets for windows? You people have no understanding and no hearts!! Many, many people have been affected by this (both victim & killer) and all I read on here are people encouraging each other to kill other people and glorifying MURDER!!.. how sad... and yet you all blame the way America is now on the "taking God out of school", when in reality it is society that has taken God out of their hearts. May God have mercy on all our souls!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 12, 2008 at 04:05 PM
If someone were breaking into my home , I still can't imagine stabbing them that many times !!! That is a sick person . Stop and pretend you are stabbing someone 22 times . It is not like it is something that only takes a split second. Hitting him with the pipe, then the 20 plus stabs and slitting his throat. That is not scared that is sick. Maybe Randy was trying to break into is home aka car, that is still really sick of Mills. Huntington was bad enough and now to think if you would walk pass the wrong car mills might be waiting on you . I think anyone that don't live there should stay away from that crazy town , I for sure don't go there anymore , not even to shop.
Posted by: David on Sep 12, 2008 at 03:43 PM
I have known Dennis for many years and know he acted in self protection. How selfish these people are that they cannot see fact. Gue was a drug user and thief. Thank god Dennis protected himself.
Posted by: Joanne on Sep 12, 2008 at 03:06 PM
To everyone that is saying that "I guess people are tired of others stealing their things", what is your comment on the Woods case? Woods got the deal of the century for running over and dragging Paul Blake to death. He got 2 years for killing Blake, who interrupted Woods trying to break into a garage. At least come up with an educated argument as to why these criminals are walking away with mere slaps on their wrists if nothing at all. To brutally stab, slash and pummel someone over a lighter is scary and murder. How can it be self defense? Gue was no longer a threat after the first stab, hit or slash. I believe in and live by the commandments, but I certainly wouldn't resort to deadly force to protect a possession.
Posted by: GEORGE on Sep 12, 2008 at 02:57 PM
DENNIS RECEIVED HIS TRIAL. A JURY MADE THE VERDICT. HOW FAIR WAS IT TO BREAK INTO DENNIS' CAR TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT DIDNT BELONG TO YOU. A LIGHTER, MONEY AND HOW UPSETTING TO THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAD TO SIT THROUGH THIS. WE ARE INOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN AMERICAN. WE FIGHT WARS OVER RELIGION, PROPERTY AND EVEN OIL. A MAN DECIDED TO BREAK INTO A CAR. A MAN DECIDED TO STAND UP FOR HIMSELF. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION FOR BOTH SIDES. DENNIS WAS HOMELESS. NO ONE CARED WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. IS A LIGHTER WORTH DYING FOR. KILLING FOR. NO IT IS NOT. IS A COPPER THIEF INOCENT WHEN HE IS FOUND DEAD FROM ELETROCUTION WHILES STEALING. NO. AND HOW TERRIBLE THAT WOULD BE FOR THE FAMILY. I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING HOW PEOPLE ARE INOCENT WHEN THEY ARENT. NOT GUILTY. NOT INOCENT.
Posted by: KJ on Sep 12, 2008 at 02:14 PM
First of all I would just like to say how ashamed I am of West Virginia and second of all I can not believe the people in here saying Randy got what he deserved. Maybe you people need to think to yourself and not speak, you obviously haven't lost someone you care about or otherwise you wouldn't be saying such cruel and cold hearted things. No one deserves to be brutaly murdered in that way, Mills could have easily just knocked him out and called the laws, but no he had to take it into his own hands and take away someone's son, brother, etc. Just put yourself in Randy's family's position, I am certain you would sing a different tune.
Posted by: brokenhearted on Sep 12, 2008 at 01:26 PM
I think there was no winners in this at all. One man was breaking into a car (for what reason we will never really know) and he lost his life. One man was living in his car and now he has to live with the memory of looking at the man he killed for the rest of his life. I do not see how either family could find victory in this very sad case. I will be praying for both families and can only say that with time this will ease. God Bless you all!
Posted by: TO AUNT on Sep 12, 2008 at 11:41 AM
I don't know much about this case, but I am a West Virginian and a Huntingtonian and certainly do not appreciate being called a "brainless hillbilly." And, for your information..."attourney" is spelled attorney!! Now who is "brainless?"
Posted by: cin on Sep 12, 2008 at 10:22 AM
none of you people are the jury, so your opinion means nothing. not everything about this case has been made public or it wouldn't be able to have been a jury trial. have faith in your peers that they made the right decision remember they live in this community also.
Posted by: Jeff on Sep 12, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Hey Kathy, Most people are posting their names, and if the saying THOU SHALT NOT STEAL does not mean anything to poor Randy then maybe justice was served. Maybe if you would have beed concerned before and offered to get him help or treatment this would not have happened. Seems like the only time people want to help is after it is to late. Sorry for your loss!!!!
Posted by: to Chrissy on Sep 12, 2008 at 10:08 AM
LOL you say next might be a Marshall student who has been drinking and he will attack them. WHAT? Can you not get it through your head that he was breaking into cars and messed with the wrong car and man! GEEZ!! yea your right whats this world coming to when people think you dont suppose to fight back when someone is breaking into your home!
Posted by: Sara on Sep 12, 2008 at 10:08 AM
I guess all we can do now is hope that Mr. Mills has received the mental health that he apparently so needed. If we ever see him again on trial for the murder, etc. of anyone else, that blood will be on the hands of these jurors. And Pablo, are you actualy encouraging people to kill each other?! Our God will be the final and one true judge. RIP Randy, bless your family and friends and i hope peace can be brought to all of you.
Posted by: Debbie on Sep 12, 2008 at 09:56 AM
I don't understand why this even went to trial. Obviously he felt very threatened, (I would too under those circumstances) and he reacted. It's unfortunate the man died, but I don't see murder here.
Posted by: HUNTINGTON on Sep 12, 2008 at 09:52 AM
I CAN NOT TALK ABOUT THE DEAD BUT I WILL NOT SAY R.I.P. TO THIS ONE. WHO HAD THE RECORD HERE, WHO WAS ARRESTED IN A RAID, WHO WAS ON PROBATION FOR 5 YRS. FOR SOMETHING I BET THE FAMILY NEVER KNEW OF, AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE. NOT MILLS. U COULD TELL BY WATCHING THE GIRLFRIEND ON TV THAT THEY WERE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A HIGH, SHE COULD NOT STOP TWITCHING. ERYONE HAS DARK SECRECTS.

I have my Concealed Carry Deadly Weapons permit. I also have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children. This is WHY I obtained my permit, because you never know in this day and age when someone may purposefully or inadvertantly pose a threat to your life or the life of your loved ones. I carry my permit PROUDLY, along with a Makarov 9mm pistol. I hope I never have to use it, but if my wife or children are in danger I most CERTAINLY will pull the trigger with NO hesitation. A scared animal will bite. People should not test other peoples ability to defend themselves against ANY threat or crime, even if it is as minor as trying to steal your lighter. Tensions escalate and this is the result.

People in Huntington are tired of theives and drug users stealing. All pill heads beware the next car you rob may cost you your LIFE.

I couldnt agree more!! This was his home and that idiot was trying to steal from him. Im so tired of people stealing from people!
Posted by: Susie on Sep 12, 2008 at 07:04 AM
I agree with Cait! Were tired of it! The women on the video said he is 100 percent guilty, How is that? She is saying if someone breaks into your home and you kill them you should go to Prison. WOW I dont ever want her on my jury if this happened to me.
Posted by: Karen on Sep 12, 2008 at 06:51 AM
Sounds like the only people not happy with the verdict was the victims family. I think it was a great verdict. He was trying to break into that man's home (car) and I dont believe for a secound that he was looking for a lighter.
Posted by: Chris on Sep 12, 2008 at 06:43 AM
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY... HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF SOMEONE TRIED TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOME AND YOU KILLED THEM IN A STRUGGLE AND WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR IT? YOU WOULDNT! YOU SHOULD WATCH WHAT YOU SAY YOU NEVER KNOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!
Posted by: IKE on Sep 12, 2008 at 05:57 AM
Mills is not going to hurt anyone again,next time " if there is one " mills will probably be killed himself after going through this ! Can you imagine being homeless and your car is your only protection from the elements ? Mills did what anyone would do had they been awoke by a person breaking in their car!! This man who lost his life was out doing things he should not have been doing and I think the jury made a very wise and stable judgement. It is terrible that a family had to be put through such a horrible thing however Randy's help should have came from family when they knew he was laying out all night long!! The family didn't know he was into drugs ?? If he was someones brother-n-law that makes him married so how is it they were not curious of a married man out all night? Reguardless the family of Randy as well as Mills are the true victims for being put through this !!

Justice has prevailed. Let's celebrate. The man did nothing more than protect not only himself, but what was his. We need more like him. Maybe even look out for each other. The cops ain't gonna protect you,who is? YOURSELF. Congrats to ya Dennis Mills.

I feel sorry for all the people on the river front Mills has gotten away with murder once don't you think he will do it again? I DO..... It is a very sad day to know that this will happen again! Next time it can be one of the collage students who tend to drink down there and when they stumble upon mills he will attack, This is not the first time Mills has been violent in public he will do this again I feel sorry for the next victim and their families. Our family is devastated to say the least we trusted the judicial system and it didn't work but i am sure the jails are not done supporting Mills what will he do now without his free hots and his cot? My brother in law is gone and this man got a year free without worry WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO!!!!!!!

maybe randy was a great, kind, guy, but there was COCAINE in his toxicology report. This could have easily turned him into a beast, provoking Mills like he did
Posted by: Pablo on Sep 11, 2008 at 09:53 PM
I for one think the deseased got exactly what he deserved. Looking for a lighter or not, what the victim did was wrong. Anyone has the right to defend himself. Someone breaks into your home what are you going to do? Ask him what is intentions are? People will murder you over pocket change nowadays. So I strongly agree that anyone has the right to use deadly force to protect not only themselves and their families but their personal property also. If any of you don't like it, don't be trying to steal something and you should be fine. Stealing is stealing, whether its a lighter or a motor vehicle.
Posted by: Joanne on Sep 11, 2008 at 09:22 PM
Self defense is one thing, but the manner in which Mills killed Gue screams something else to me. There is a final judge that will be answered to. This I'm sure. Mr. Mills better count himself as lucky as any of us will ever get on this earth. What is wrong with the justice system in Huntington? 2 wrong verdicts in 1 day. What travesties for the families.
Posted by: Becky on Sep 11, 2008 at 08:57 PM
WOW!!It's nice to know you really can get away with MURDER!!It's not right, no matter what, he had NO right to take another man's life. I'm sorry Auntie Donna that salt just got added to your wound.

Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 11, 2008 at 07:53 PM
I think that mr. mills should pay for taking someone's especially since it's not up to mr. mills to take anyone's life.. God should be the only one to take us when we need to go. Mr. Mills should be punished to the full extent of the law. I hope he suffers with his conscience because, he took someones life over a lighter. Now Randy's family didn't get justice all they have is a broken heart when it's obvious this man should be punished to fullest extent of the law.

Jury must have believed him. Most of Huntington is tired of people stealing goes to show what will happen when you break into other people property.
Posted by: chad on Sep 11, 2008 at 07:38 PM
Honestly was Randy a mental patient? Who goes up to a abandoned car and quote" looking for a lighter! Why would anyone walk up to someone elses car and try to get in it? abandoned or not! I believe that he was just looking for a lighter about as much as I believe pigs fly!
Posted by: Kathy on Sep 11, 2008 at 07:14 PM
Theres nothing in this world that can bring back Randy. He was the type of person that would do anything for anyone. He was headed home to be with his family and Mills took him away from us. Now he can walk the streets again, is the law fair? Randys family has tried to live with this for a year and now they know that the man who killed Randy will be free. Where is are justice and why???? To everyone out there that has never been through loosing a loved one please keep the comments nice and respect the family. Randy we love you and you are always with us.

OK EVERYONE, HAS YOUR HOUSE EVER BEEN BROKE INTO? AND HAVE YOU EVER CAME FACE TO FACE WITH THE PERSON WHO IS IN YOUR HOUSE? YEA I KNOW THIS WAS A CAR BUT IT WAS HIS HOME! IM SURE RANDY WAS FIGHTING HIM AND YEA HE WAS SCARED AND IM SURE STABBED HIM MORE THAN HE SHOULD HAVE BUT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT YOU ALWAYS DONT THINK. RANY SHOULDNT HAVE TRIED TO BREAK IN HIS CAR AND THIS WOULDNT HAVE EVER HAPPENED!

Hate to say it but thats what you get when you try to steal from someone! I feel bad for his family that he died but OL WELL dont try to steal from someone! and Im soo tired of hearing he was a good person that man killed him for no reason, Ol I bet he was breaking into his car cause he was going to offer to wash his car for him yea thats it!!
Posted by: Jeff on Sep 11, 2008 at 06:11 PM
It seems to me like Randy was breaking in cars and stealing. Maybe he should not have been stabbed numerous times but if he was not breaking and stealing this would not have happened. maybe they should have just cut off his hands like they do in other countries and this would prevent other people from doing the same things.
Posted by: unknown on Sep 11, 2008 at 05:51 PM
UNBELIEVABLE! That's all i have to say about this verdict.
Posted by: kat on Sep 11, 2008 at 05:42 PM
I think that anyone that would stab a person that many time is as guilty as sin, no matter what Mr Gue did, he didn't deserve to die.
Posted by: Aunt on Sep 11, 2008 at 05:31 PM
Just goes that Mills is in his owm territory and probably had relarives on the jury. What a stinking one horse town. Bring them to Chicago for trial, then we would see justice done for sure. Hillbillies thats all they are, brainless hillbillies.

if mr.gue hadnt broke into car he would be alive today.im not for killing but people have protect themselves.if you are scared enough who knows how many times might stab person.
Posted by: Charles on Sep 11, 2008 at 05:21 PM
I'm glad we finally know of a place where you can get away with COLD BLOOD MURDER!!! I'll be telling everyone and anyone I know - if you want to KILL go to WEST VIRIGINIA!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!
Posted by: Aunt on Sep 11, 2008 at 04:46 PM
The defense attourney said Dennis was hit in his head "SENSELESS". How can he then say to himself "I"M GONNA DIE"? He was knocked senseless. Some attourney he has there.

When I was a child in school, a boy next to me would steal items from my lunch bag every single day. Maybe I should've brained him with a pipe, cut his throat and stabbed him a few dozen times. You know.. in self defense.
Posted by: cousin on Sep 11, 2008 at 10:11 AM
my cousin never hurt anyone in his life. he was always there to help people. randy was a good person no one in this world is perfect. mr mills took his life and should pay the price i miss my cousin my family hurts from this. only god knows the truth what had happen that night. i hope he gets whats comming to him thou shall not kill in the bible and mr. mills did that he will be punish
Posted by: Anonymous on Sep 10, 2008 at 11:57 PM
I think that it is about time that Dennis Mills is finally about ready to be sentenced because he deserves to be punished for the crime that he has committed to a very good person that he had no right or even the business to take a life from. I hope that he gets alot of time out of this tragedy that he has caused! R.I.P. Randy We Love You and Miss You Brother.
Posted by: Aunt on Sep 10, 2008 at 09:43 PM
Well George,, why would it take 22 stab wounds for self defense? Inocent or guilty, thats an awful lot of stabbing for one person no matter what a person does.Think about it, and count one by one, each time that knife went into Randy.What about the pipe Dennis also hit him with? wasn't the knife enough?? Looks like he wanted to make sure randy didnt get the lighter.
Posted by: Maureen on Sep 10, 2008 at 08:03 PM
Everyone deserves a Fair Trial no matter what they have done. If Mr Mills was truly defending himself then he wouldn't have stabbed my cousin over 20 times and slit his throat - This was overkill - and that is exactly what he intended on doing by carrying around a knife and metal pipe at "protection". He was a ticking time bomb that unfortunately went off on my Cousin!!! Randy did not lead the best of lives but he never, ever hurt someone and would always give the shirt off his back if you needed it!! People make chooses and mistakes in life and there are laws that get broken - Randy did not deserve that kind of brutal torture and neither does anyone else - letting Dennis back on the streets is telling the PUBLIC that if you see him RUN because YOU could be next!!
Posted by: Jeremy on Sep 10, 2008 at 04:58 PM
well i dont agree with either 1 of u all.U didnt kno him so y putted stuff on here if u dont kno stuff about people.will i dont think mr. mills should get a fair trial he did the crime he should do the time

  • Posted By: nurse: cps says young kids can't use a weed eater or so i hear. so then why can these same kids put on football pads during the summer and have the coaches w/ parents approval run til they puke or get sick from heat exhaustion. and yes if your kid wants to play football then you do have to allow your kid to go through all that or they wont get to play. so why cant the same child weedeat.
  • Posted By: buck: why is it w/ summer sports it seems the parents make it all about them instead of the kids. am i wrong or do alot of these parents seem to want to relive life again through the kids. or even worse make a claim to being so good at whatever the sport the parent did that they push the kid all because of what they did 'or never did'. These parents also seem to be the really high ego type person. funny thing is if the parent was so good then why arent they pro or at least a great college player. what i have noticed is the the kids w/ the parent who did play college or was on the verge of being pro does not press the issue. they allow the kids to play ball. just my opinion

  • Posted By: Anonymous: My comment is about the WV Unemployment office. The people who work there must be the most incompetent baffoons imaginable because it seems that they can never get anything right. It is bad enough that you have to wait in line for hours with all the other people who were unfortunate enough to lose their jobs due to the bad economy but when you finally get to see someone, they always manage to completely mess things up. As if to add insult to injury, they also seem to take great pleasure in denying someone because of their mistake which forces you to appeal their "decision" and go through it all over again. These people are far worse than your typical state employee, they are morons.
  • Posted By: Eve: Has anyone had people soliciting at their homes for "Cabell County schools"? Had a female come to the house this morning (on the July 4 holiday) from "University of Georgia" on behalf of Cabell County to talk to local parents. She had no list of student names and made the assumption that we had kids by the toys/bikes in our yard. She had a notebook with "local parents" names that she had talked with, but I didn't recognize any of the names. She asked about the neighborhood and if any other kids lived there. I didn't disclose any info except that lots of kids live in the area. Didn't let her in the house. Just suspicious because of the holiday and local home robberies. Called Huntington Police to inform them. Wanted to post to get more info out to other families. Have a safe holiday and if anyone else has similar info, please call the Huntington Police Dept. @ 696-4470.

Now my favorite restaurant in the world Kentucky Fired Chicken has thrown in twith these nuts and is grilling chicken now. Chicken was never meant to be grilled only fried regular or extra crispy. So people I say get busy we have work to do they is two states in front of us we in WV have to reclaim our top spot as best fed in the whole country go down to the foodland or kroger and get a cube of regular mountain dew a sack of Lays chips and some good ball park big red smokeys with a big bowl of chili and have a grill out tomorrow to celebrate the fourth of July in style and may I say God bless the USA and coal miners too.

  • Posted By: to why: no ,hetrosexuals wont go to hell any slower than gays.adultry fornication,stealing lying murder etc,are all sins.every one sins,it just that you cant say you want to be a christian,and keep on with bad habits or not want to change and expect god to say thats all right.life is a struggle for all of us.we are expected to repent and try our hardest to do whats right.god respects that.you are not in any more danger than any other sinner.i know that homosexuality is a sin but so is adultry.would we tell an adulter that its all right to keep on hurting their marriage and spouse and thats alright,no.i would rather live beside an honest caring,productive gay person than a dishonest evil selfish nosy buissybody any day.we are only responsible for our own sins and actions.you sound stressed,lighten up.but homosexuality is a sin,like adultry and fornication,nobody gets a free pass.
  • Posted By: Patty: Good points, Htiek, but the status quo with coal mining, which is a dirty business, no matter how it is marketed, i.e., "clean coal" (coal is dirty, period), will remain till the resources are depleted, the land and environment of the coal fields are destroyed, which is pretty much the case at present.
  • Posted By: bonn: One more thing and I really will stop. Why does the weather cycle? I do not know everything-no one does. But everything has its purpose. Sometimes, more cold is called for. If we don't have hard winters snakes and mosquitoes thrive, for one. Mosquitoes are a large part of fish diet. And snakes keep rodents in check. But too much cold hurts other things that call for warmer temps. Quail is one thing that comes to mind that suffer in the frigid temps. We just don't understand all of the workings of these things. But it is all to keep a balance-many times in things we ourselves have killed off, such as bear and wolves. Even if we don't like some species, they all serve a purpose and nature helps keep that balance. Our world really was wonderfully made. With all the changes in temperature, we still have seasons. You can know it will be cold in winter and hot in summer. The excesses serve a purpose we sometimes can not see. Strive to learn of all of her wonders, not follow blindly.
  • Posted By: bonn: I would like to apologize if I have been short and critical. I really am sorry. It is no excuse, but I have a very sick child who may be dying and I get so upset at the state of our world. I do have to quit reading these comments. But I hope I have caused a few people at least to think with their own common sense instead of blindly following whatever. Some theories may be correct. But many ARE for monetary purposes. We each were given a mind to think with. Question everything before taking it as it appears. And be sure and thank a veteran for the freedom we celebrate this weekend. Too many have died to protect it to just give it up willingly. And whether or not you are religious, lets try to love one another. Love can fix so many things! Try to keep our world clean, But that doesn't have to bankrupt us. We can all do our part in whatever ways we can. The old saying "Give a hoot, don't pollute" should not have gone out of style. And use your wikipedia to read "Ice Age" to see cycling.
  • Posted By: Follow up on cap and rape: CNSNews.com) – The 1,400-page cap-and-trade legislation pushed through by House Democrats contains a new federal policy that residential, commercial, and government buildings be retrofitted to increase energy efficiency, leaving it up to the states to figure out exactly how to do that. This means that homeowners, for example, could be required to retrofit their homes to meet federal “green” guidelines in order to sell their homes, if the cap-and-trade bill becomes law. The bill, which now goes to the Senate, directs the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement a national policy for residential and commercial buildings. The purpose of such a strategy – known as the Retrofit for Energy and Environmental Performance (REEP) – would be to “facilitate” the retrofitting of existing buildings nationwide.In other words all your appliances-heating-stove -fridge-windows-would have to meet green standards before we sell SOCAILISM HAS ARRIVED YESWEDID
  • Posted By: ANOTHER YES WE CAN: First you paid to insure your car. Soon you may have to add health insurance premiums to that stack of monthly bills as well. In a revamped health care system envisioned by senators, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face fines of more than $1,000. The details were unveiled Thursday in a health care overhaul bill supported by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.SOCAILISM IS HERE The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines would raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals
  • Posted By: bonn: Good grief! The brain washing has gone so far it will never get better. Some of this way of thinking makes me physically ill in my stomach. All of one mind! Mindless devotion to whatever is contrary to common sense and whatever theory is being passed around. Most families have both parents working, some two jobs, just to make it now. Soon you won't even be able to work enough to carry your family, the government and the ones who won't work. Then you will be disposable and they will start killing you off because you can't give them enough money. But you will blindly keep following. It is easy to see how Hitler took control and how it is being set up for the antichrist to take control. I quit. I will never read another comment.

  • Posted By: Htiek: What always amazes me about people in WV is their slavish devotion to coal mining even though it is killing the planet, costs more jobs than it creates, poisons the water, destroys the mountains, scars the land, kills the snail darter, and other horrible things. Things are all so backwards in this country why dont we switch over to something that lasts and is free like the sun and wind? Even if the president said that stuff and I doubt he did and even if he did you are misquoting him or taking him out of context he is right if there is one sure way to get people to stop turning their air conditioners down to 76 it is to raise the price, just like gasoline. People we can learn to ride bikes and walk again, just like they did in the old days, that will help give us exercise and decrease the obesity rate in WV. Food is another area, the slop that people eat like MacDonalds, trans fats, regular soft drinks, anybody with half a brain knows the intelligent thing to do is tax regular soda pop.

Haven't heard of any heat warning anywhere is the US so far this summer. Great for us but doesn't feel right.
  • Posted By: Kris: Hi Bonn, it is true that these cycles do occur over time. Scientists have taken core samples from the earth and the ice to show these cycles. However, none of the samples show such a dramatic change in such a short period of time. I am a smoker and I will admit that my second hand smoke can and probably will effect the lungs of a non-smoker. The tons of carbon monoxide and other pollutants that we release into our atmosphere HAS TO have an effect on our atmosphere. True story: there was a scientist that day after day after day couldn't figure out why the sky was so blue and clear. Then it struck him, there hadn't been ANY planes in the air for three days. That was 911. What you put out, is what you get back. If you put love out, you will get love back. If you put out negativity, you will get negativity back. For every action, there is a reaction whether it's good or bad. It's in our hands to do our best not to cause an adverse impact to our planet. Peace to ALL!
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Hello again good working coal mining people of WV this is the coal miners friend Big Earl with news of yet another hippie plot to stick there big noses further into our business now some of these people in Congress has throwed in with the tree huggers they are trying to make it so you cannot sell your house without some nut from the hippie EPA coming in and inspecting it to make sure you are green enough to suit there tastes. This so called cap and trade bill that these busy body do gooders are pushing on us will destroy our jobs and run up the electric bills so that everybody will have to live like the Waltons with 27 people under one roof just to keep warm. Now the average hippie longhair don’t care noway because they would have us all living in mud huts riding mules wearing sandals and weaving baskets to load down with califlowers and arougalas tofu and alfalfa to take up on some worthless mountaintop as an offering to there windmill god instead of having nice homes, cars, a job and cool air in the summer and heat in the winter ALL THANKS TO THE COAL MINER.

  • Posted By: bonn: I was trying to make a point. Perhaps not in the best way. I get so discouraged seeing what is happening around us. One group of scientists call for us to spread soot on all the snow up north to absorb heat to counter the coming ice age. Another (more popular) group calls for painting our roofs white to reflect the heat that is melting our ice caps. Which group is right? Neither. Our earth is doing exactly as it has been doing all along. Cycling naturally. Did it plan it all on its own? Hardly. But no one wants to hear that. It reminds me of "chicken little" yelling "the sky is falling". Only this is not so funny-this is control. And what is even sadder is-people seem to WANT to be controlled. This earth will continue as always until one preplanned day it all comes to a screeching halt. Then a new earth will be created. I will not be caught off guard. I read The Book. I know where I will be. Do you? And do you really enjoy giving those schemers your money that much? I hope one day...
  • Posted By: Keith: A few questions for the Yell audience: Does anyone remember when Obama gave that interview in SanFran Cisco and said that he would not prevent the construction of a coal fired plant, but his policies would bankrupt anybody that tried to build one? That policy was cap and trade. I heard O say that energy prices, under his administration, would "necessairly skyrocket." Is this the hope and change you guys voted for? How will you afford your electric and gas service under this man who cares so much for the poor? Obama said once that he was not bothered that the price of gas had risen so high, just that it happened so fast. How does everyone feel about the gas price? Obama raked John Pablo McCain over the coals for suggesting health care benefits be taxed as income, now he is going to do the same thing to pay for "free" care to illegal aliens, deadbeats, etc...but union workers will be exempt from this tax. How does that make you feel if you work for a living and are not in a union? H&C
  • Posted By: Amy: Hteik, "all is well" because people like us! Give me a break. If all were well, we would not have the largest unemployment rate in 26 years. The stimulus package would prevent it from going above 8%, remember? How is Iran not our business but Honduras is? The people of Honduras have a Constitution very similar to ours and we should support the people not an extremist who is trying to take over their country. The 22nd Amendment does a great service for our nation. IF it would be reversed that would be O.K too. At the rate Obama is going W. could beat him in 2012. At least I would sleep better at night.
  • Posted By: Just Me: Wow Jane Doe, give it a rest. I really don't think God would be please with this going on and on and on...healthy banter is fine, but this is not healthy banter. Christians absolutely can and do get angry, it's what they do with that anger that counts. It doesn't matter where, when, or even IF you go to church...what matters is that you have accepted Christ into your heart and asked for forgiveness of your sins. God didn't save us to judge others, he saved us to lead others to him. I've said many times...what if the person you just yelled at, told off, or whatever showed up at your church on Sunday? Would you be proud of your behavior?
  • Posted By: Sophie: Roane County is a beautiful place. The country roads snake along past fields, farms and old homes we wish could talk. Looneyville is indeed named after the Looney family, so is Gandeeville. My father was from Roane Co. & graduated from Walton High School in the 40's. He told me tales of his school days, friends, boyish pranks, old cars and the fun they had at the 4-H camp. Spencer was a big place to them. Roane Co. gave us many war veterans and kept distant family & friends together with the annual "Roane County Reunion". I don't even know if they still have it, but we used to go. I remember seeing Sen. Robert Byrd play his fiddle there. The Black Walnut Festival in October(?) is a good time to visit Spencer. They usually have a parade, arts & crafts and a museum. You can enjoy a slice of Americana, along with a slice of homemade pie.

I think I speak for everyone when I say (Get a Job)!! Cause you obviously have none! You have all this free time on your hands! Why don't you spend this free time helping others instead of puttin them down! You know..WSAZ has job postings...Maybe you could find one on there!!!!I'm not a negative person. Maybe I'm just like everyone else that has a job and three kids and a lot of things to do! I get stressed out, I know that goes way over your head,You don't get stressed. But because you go to church doesn't mean you can't get angry about stuff!!LOL My father-in-law is a Deacon at my church and even he has a temper!! Look out craveontruth! Looks like RoaneCo. has found someone else to pick on!Good Luck!! Have a perfect day ( I know you will)!!
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Yes Craveontruth, there is a place named Looneyville.(no Jane Doe that isn't where I live) It is on Rt.36, nothing there but the Looneyville Post Office, and I am not joking. There is also a Lefthand Post Office on Rt.36, always wondered why there wasn't a Righthand also. Our County seat is located in Spencer, (middle of nowhere) which for years was only known for its State Mental Institution. (no Jane Doe this isn't my Alma mater) It was closed years ago and now a Wal-Mart is on that location. I guess the only other thing to speak of would be the Black Walnut Festival which is held in Spencer every October.
  • Posted By: bonn, the simpleton: Don't we have a smart earth? She formed herself from a dust cloud, they say and planted herself just the right distance from the sun to support the life she would create. She also filled her insides with molten heat to maintain the right temps and if that builds too much she decides to blow some out holes (volcanoes) to keep from exploding. She makes her own rain, knowing whether she needs a gentle soaking rain for her plants, or a gully washer to cleanse the filth. It pours down the mountains, into the rivers and out into the ocean which she just happened to fill with salt (her natural sanitizer). And she knows if she doesn't have ice she will over heat, but too much and she will freeze, killing her life she so carefully made. So she melts some, then as it heats up, she freezes more. All just coincidental happenings? She is brilliant! But not so smart as the humans who are making a fortune controlling the other dumb humans by convincing them THEY are causing her to do these things!!!

  • Posted By: Hteik: Well it is nice to see that the war in Iraq is ending under President Obama. Who would have thought, it seems the world is backwards right now, huh? Obama gets elected, the world understands our good will, and all is well. Just like history, Republicans start wars, Democrats finish them. Hate to say we told you so but we told you so, I just get fuzzy inside thinking about all the people that love us now that hated us because of that old Bush. Another thing too, leave this Iran thing alone, that is none of our business. I dont recall anybody from Iran coming over here to help us in 1776 so why should we stick our nose in their business? When you get a strong leader like in Honduras, a good strong leader with a military background, everybody goes nuts because the guy takes things over well I support him and Obama. In fact, some people are so needed we better start now to get rid of the 22nd Amendment, it was only put in by jealous radical extremist crazy Republicans to hurt FDR.
  • Posted By: Craveontruth: I don't think I have ever been to Roan County.Nothing against the good people of that neck of the woods.I did enjoy looking it up on wikipedia.Is there really a Looneyville there? If there is then I must visit!Who's with me?
  • Posted By: food for thought: 2-10 years for almost killing a child? Where are our priorities? I know they are nestled in the mountains or wait lying deep in the ocean waiting for anoother person to adopt them and claim rights to the next whale that is proclaimed Shammu or Willy. Get real people lets protest these laws that allow some cook to wanna kill his child and only have to pay his debt of 2 - 10 years. Oh and Kris your right our God won't kill a 1 yr old or a 100 yr old just do to it. He would do it for his glory and maybe take them from being around a half heartened sadistic person that would do this to a child. Oh i love the lights and the A/C and my car, but most of all I love my GOD "Jehovah God" whom i think first and foremost for all I have, then i thank a coal miner and an AEP worker and a so on and so on.

  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Bonn, people like you are the very reason I have stated that I respect ones right of freedom of religion. Although I have different views, I have no issues with anyone going to church and trying to live according to their interpretation of the bible. I think that is wonderful. I also thank you Bonn for being open minded and seeing the point I was trying make. And for Anonymous on Jul 1, 2009 at 03:11 PM, no Craveontruth and I are not the same person. We do agree on some issues, and disagree on others. And when we do disagree (speaking for myself of course) we do it without anger. Also, for Bob... sorry, it isn't working. I have a two year old that comes up with better jabs than you. But I respect your right to try.
  • Posted By: Sophie: Just a few comments on current Yells: Big Earl - I just can't read you anymore because it's the same things over & over. Yeah, we're with you - there are a bunch on weed-o's coming around these days trying to shut us down for the sake of some owl...We get it. We all hate it. Roane Co/Jane -It appears Roane has been very hurt in their lifetime by family conflict involving belief. Many people get hurt because of superstition & misinterpretation and overzealousness. It has been this way since time began. I hope Roane can someday get past the hurt & retoric to work out his/her own salvation. Simple belief in Jesus Christ is where it starts, the rest as I put it, is just "gravy". Jane: I'm sorry your child was hurt. This indeed must be reported. I got hurt @ CP one time too on "The Whip". It beat me so hard against the side I had a major bruise on my hip. I strained my arms trying to keep from slamming into the side. A fun thing was not so fun. No rides for me, anymore. Not there.

Well people I am here to tell you that this bunch at the so called CSPI and no you hippies I don’t mean the TV show calling us fat should look in the mirror they look like something off night of the living dead pasty faced scarecrows and beanpoles and what is so great about that. WV has some of the best staple foods anywhere in the world I have eaten paotatoes beans meat flour and corn meal all my life cooked in lard and I am not one bit worse off for it and can mine coal with anybody. People all the good foods we eat are natural growed in the garden or on the farm so it should even make a tofu eating hippie type happy. I am more bothered that two states beat us out in the race for the top so I tip my hat to the people of the great states of Alabama home of the best country music band ever and Mississippi but people of WV get busy we have to reclaim our title to best fed in the USA I recommend the Kentucky Fried Chicken with gravy and biscuits as a good place to start our comeback.
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Actually Jane Doe, growing up I did attend church and read the bible. Being subjected to religion for many years I would not consider myself "confused" or uneducated. If one looks at organized religion with an open mind it isn't hard to see who is confused. For example, you have one bible yet there are numerous religious groups ( methodists, baptists etc...) that believe their interpretation is the only correct interpretation. This is understandable because the bible itself is very contradictive. In my opinion the the bible and organized religion is nothing more than a tool created to control the masses. Yet this tool has pitted man against man, brother against brother, state against state and country against country, not to mention the wars, death and destruction it has caused. I have witnessed in my lifetime many family fueds, broken marriages and busted churches at the hands of organized religion. I have heard the words of hate spoken by christians. I am not confused.

Get a brain and use it simpletons!
  • Posted By: bonn: To Jane Doe: I am afraid RoaneCo's common sense is more attractive than your comments. Read your last post at 8:58 and see if it shows the Light you are suppose to give. We are suppose to control our anger. Yes, we are forgiven, but it is not a license to keep repeating our faults. It is mercy so we can improve. Viciousness does not become a child of God. RoaneCo., may God forgive us for driving you and others away from Him with our failure to shine the Light of Love. And Jane Doe, I am the one you called ignorant just because I was showing compassion (another expectation of a Christian). It is scary about your child. But that person was not attacking your child, nor joking about it, only disapproving of your outburst. Not very attractive in anyone, especially one called to set an example for others to follow. If you must get angry, use it to accomplish something good. Christians are hated enough WITHOUT cause. Love is the answer.

Republicans were overwhelmingly against the measure, arguing it would destroy jobs in the midst of a recession while burdening consumers with a new tax in the form of higher energy costs.And there was plenty to work on in a House-passed measure that pointed toward higher electricity bills for the middle class.Budget Office and the other from the Environmental Protection Agency — that suggested average increases would be $175.00 a year.

What I don't care for is someone like Jane Doe on here week after week preaching her little sermons all the while calling people ignorant and showing her hostility toward others. It has always amazed me how most christians will belittle someone else but the minute you catch them being unchristian like they always come up with the old "we christians ain't perfect". Well I know they are not, but by golly they are the first to judge everyone else. These hyporcitical self proclaimed christians are one of the reasons I turned away from organized religion years ago. I just don't agree with these people shoving religion on everyone else. I respect Jane Does right to religion and I would even fight for her to keep that right, but she, like so many others need to keep their religion in their church and their home.
  • Posted By: Big Earl: Well hello again good working coal mining families in WV this is Big Earl and I for one am very disappointed that this cap and trade bill got passed into law the other day no thanks to our good representatives from WV. People all I can say is get a woodpile and a bunch of cow chips because your electric is going to get real expensive real quick. These hippies has run up to Washington DC and boo hooed to them tree huggers and longhairs in the EPA until they got even worse done to our jobs but then again what do you expect from a bunch that has a leaf from a dope plant on there sign like the EPA does if you don’t believe me look on this very website I seen a picture of it. Birds of a feather flock together that’s why the good working people were kept out and not allowed to talk at that hearing and the hippies let in. People these hippies has slandered our great state and coal miners first they bring in professor moonbeam from NASA to insult us then he tucks his tail and runs back to NASA and wont debate Mr. DB then they attack our state university mascot the WV mountaineer. Well people I Big Earl have a solution to this lets call WV the “Ivory Soap State,” make our mascot a bathtub that’s a sure fire way to get rid of these smelly hippies and longhairs and keep them out forever.
  • Posted By: ME: We christians are most always judged by our actions and that is to be expected since we are not perfect in any way. We all make mistakes every day,we get angry,we say things we shouldn't and act out our frustrations sometimes to those closest to us and our friends. We try to do better and ask forgiveness when we do stumble from our christian path. Actions speak louder than words at times, good or bad. Yes we adults act like children at times and children try to act like adults all too soon. We never know who we are influenceing with our actions and words so we need to always try to act,say and do what is right. As long as we are on this earth we will stumble but we should strive to be the best we can be and treat people with love and respect no matter how we are treated. I have turned the cheek many times and been slapped alot and will keep on doing it as long as I breath. My time will come soon enough to be judged as to the way I have lived and treated people.

This information is what our scientists, meteorologists and so forth use in reference to report the records of weather and temperatures.

I am just like everyone else in the know, they lie all the time but please dont press me to cite anything specific as I am having coffee right now. I am new to your side, so pardon me if I get something confused. Those photographs of the ice caps are proof positive as far as I am concerned, these flat earth types that dont believe global warming should compare them to the satellite picutres from the colonial period and over the years since for comparison purposes. I once heard the hottest year on record was in the 1930s but what does that prove. And before one of you know it alls talks about Al Gore riding everywhere in a private plane and having such a huge house and running a company that profits from selling carbon credits, some people in life earn their special privileges simply by showing up and enlightening the rest of us, so there.

And just for the record, I would never "make fun" of a child, but don't think for one second that I won't point out an adult being hypocritical.

As for you, thank you for proving once again how kind, loving, patient and understanding some of you fine christians can be.
  • Posted By: Kris: This respectfully goes out to "food for thought" for what they said about fox news and global warming.FOX has great movies and tv shows but their view when it comes to the "news" is so far on the "right" way of thinking that it totally obscures reality in their opions of the subject at hand. They'll twist their views to make sure that it is opposite of "liberals" or people on the "left" and how they feel about the subject.Asf or global warming, we have actual time lapsed pictures of the polar caps melting at an alarming rate. You can actually see it happening. If things are cooling down, then why are the polar caps and icebergs melting at an alarming rate? The evidence is right in front of our faces. I sure do hope you're right because if I am, our planet is doomed. Sincerely, Kris

  • Posted By: Big Earl: Well hello again good working coal miners of WV this is Big Earl and people I have come to the conclusion that we need some friends in Washington DC that has got some clout. Some people up there has got big names but nobody apparently listens to, that is if they show up at all in court to help you out, those who are sick are excepted. Then there are some people in Charleston who should be in Washington who shall remain unnamed because nobody in Gov. Joes office asked me to say that. But remember who had that bunch from FEMA down here handing out checks before two weeks after the flood water hit and figure out who has clout. You people that went up for the hearing last week should be thanked but the good people never got to say a word but these hippies did, they are apparently now running around the creek with microscopes looking for fish that cant be seen with the eye, something called a microbe, now they are blaming the coal miner for killing off this worthless animal and I sincerely hope Captain D or old Long John will never put some slop like that on my plate when I want good seafood. If you dont see it it cant be of no good use anyway, sort of like a certain US senator with a big rich name who was nowhere to be seen last week.

Have any of you people in Huntington ever lost a chicken to a wild dog. Even these back to nature types and hippies up here in Boone County tie up there dog to guard there dope patches but they don’t have no sense anyway if they aint going to Washington DC to try and rook us out of our jobs by carrying signs and yelling about some invisible fish that is no good to anybody they are screaming about the coal miner killing polar bears and other animals that don’t even live here. Apparently this bunch had the bright idea to go down to the park on Sunday down in Huntington when people was out with there families trying to walk around and enjoy things and they chained themselves to trees with real dog chains trying to get people to sign a protest petition to of all people a mayor named Wolf now I don’t know about you but that mayor better forget the beware of dog sign he needs to put a beware of the PETA nut sign up in that park.
  • Posted By: The Seeker: @food for thought: It is indeed important to check facts, and it heartens me to see that you're of the type that actively seeks them (even thought I fall on the side of the debate that believes in climate change, as it has solid science behind it). However, I caution you on taking anything from FOX news at face value. This is an organization that in 2000 won a case in Florida appeals court in which the court ruled that FOX has no obligation to tell the truth to it's viewers, and can misinform the public under the first amendment. This is also an organization that has been proven to have an agenda, and frames every bit of it's coverage to favor one political party over the other. My advice is to seek out less obviously biased news sources, especially in cases such as global warming, which is an issue that transcends political parties and affects every being on the planet.
  • Posted By: Hugh: Hey WVa. Checkin out the YELL. Kind of quiet today. Enjoyed my visit there. Met John Henry at the Big Ben Tunnel,saw the big bridge. Stood at Hawk's Nest and viewed the scenery. If I wasn't so old and crippled, I'd bungee jump from the New River Gorge Bridge. Have folks who live in the Talcott area and some around Hinton. Well won't take much of your time today. Just wanted to check in.
  • Posted By: what is foor for thought?: foor?? for thought, you do know Bush made those he commissioned to study it alter their reports when he found out it supported global warming, don't you? Anyone who just sees pictures of the ice caps 30 years ago and now would have to be mentally handicapped not to know there's global warming, the only thing that's possible to debate is the cause of it. Wonder why Fox didn't mention the Bush fiasco? Well I don't really wonder.

  • Posted By: Lou Ann: Ive had a similar bad experience at camden park several years ago. Havent went back since. The pricing is just another deterrent to doing business locally. I love this area but am very discouraged by the lack of pride in our appearance in several of our towns, the prices of doing business, the attitude towards the customer , the lack of merchandise. I could go on. We definately are not tourist friendly in the great ohio valley area.
  • Posted By: foor for thought: Looks like my comment on June 24th may be right. I have done some reading about this Global warming fad the government is putting on. I was sitting in a local car dealership and FOX news was reporting on the government sitting or "burying" studies by two of the highest ranking EPA officials contradicting this myth. Some of the comments from their studies proves the Global temperature if anything has decreased. Although, you should be skeptical about anything the media reports especially when it involves the government these are facts that have been recorded over time. I ask how come when these bozos as Dr. Hansen whom is from NASA(which has done innumerable amounts of damage to our air with their testing) never mention facts as these when trying to prove things they are claiming is a fact. People we in America have became lazy in seeking the truth, I am not disputing anything these scientists and the government tells us, but as we learned in elementary school check facts of both sides.
  • Posted By: gays in u.s.a.: another reflection on gays.if you think god doesn,t care about you because you,re gay ,he must love you more than you can comprehend,if not you could have been born ina muslim country.islam has no homosexuals ,they are not rehabilitate,just beheaded.as a loving and compassionate god says"GO AND SIN NO MORE".that doesnt mean just you it means all of us.yes god allows you to choose,he must really care.
  • Posted By: City of Milton: I'm glad that the City of Milton has so much money to spend and that they spend it wisely. Every time I drive through town on a nice day it never fails that someone is washing their personal vehicle at the VFD. Good to see that they budget personal car washes into the city budget. I think I'll stop in there today and see if I can wash my car as well...should be a nice day!
  • Posted By: Valorie: About four weeks ago, I sent a letter to Camden Park with a friendly suggestion to open the park to the casual visitor again. As of today, I still haven't had a response from them. There used to be a small fee for admission to anyone who just wanted to visit. Once inside the park, a visitor could buy a corn dog or pay to play a few games or ride a few rides. Now people have to pay a full admission price for all day rides, even when they don't plan to stay all day. A lot of people are grandparents who just want to watch their grandchildren ride for an hour or two. Some are young parents with small children who tire easily. As empty nesters, my husband and I would like to drop by to get a bite to eat, play some games or just walk around. Everyone I have spoken to said they would visit Camden Park a whole lot more if they didn't have to pay the full admission price. I challenge everyone to contact Camden Park and ask them to give the people a choice!
  • Posted By: to gay question: god is not a cruel and unfair god.we all have our faults.is homosuxality a bigger sin than adultry,pornography,lying,stealing, and the list goes on.the clue to these behaviors is wanting to make our lives better.we cant blame anyone but ourselves for what we do.if anyone doesnt change its what they want to do.but as long as it doesnt affect me thats between you and god.but it is wrong,just as cheating on your spouse is sin.would we tell the adulterer that its not sin and not to try being a better person,i think not.celibacy would be better than the same old behavior.these have been struggle since creation.
  • Posted By: RoaneCo.: Losing your religion Jane Doe? What happened to "turn the other cheek"? I do hope your little girl is ok. I have children of my own, I know how precious they are. But next time you read of someone else being "furious" or commenting on their personal issues, maybe you should keep your bible quotes to yourself.
  • Posted By: Jane Doe: I recently went with my church and my family to Camden Park this past weekend. Me and my 6 year old daughter rode the Spider, We thought it was going to be lots of fun, we were wrong! It was a nightmare! It went on for 10 minutes and was going way too fast! My daughter was terrified and was screaming! I was furious when the man that helped us off asked if she was okay and I said what do you think and he laughed!! I have rode this ride for many years and loved it, But this time I could tell it was different! But then it gets worse, A friend of mine that stayed at the park longer than us informed me that after we left, The spider closed down and said they had crossed wires and the ride was malfunctioning!!! My daughter can't hardly walk today and has a four inch bruise down her back! I'm taking her to the doctor in the morning. If there is something seriously wrong, I will be speaking to the owner and this situation will be takin care of!!!!!
