CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man from Charleston who stabbed another man after a robbery is headed to prison.

Jonathan Parker pleaded guilty Friday to robbing and trying to kill Eugene Mills.

When Parker entered the courtroom, he stuck his tongue out and blew kisses to the victim.

Police say Parker robbed Mills, then stabbed him several times.

The crime happened in the 1400 block of Jackson Street in Charleston back in March.

Parker was on home confinement for another break-in when the stabbing happened.

Mills was in the hospital for two weeks and is still going through rehabilitation.

Parker faces up to 40 years in prison. He'll be sentenced December 11.

PEOPLE DO THESE SORT OF THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED INSANE AND GET A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PUNISHMENT.

It must be a slow news day that they have to make THIS a story. I feel bad for the victim and all but the guy sticking his tongue out isn't major news...
Posted by: anna on Oct 13, 2008 at 12:49 PM
When he goes prison, he will REALLY be forced to stick his tounge out,...in pain. Just as soon as he enters the showering area.. Can WSAZ get a picture of that one?
Posted by: pam on Oct 13, 2008 at 12:14 PM
What an Idiot. In prison he had better learn to keep that tongue in his mouth. STUPID STUPID stupid......
Posted by: Sue on Oct 13, 2008 at 11:28 AM
All I can say is the Judge needs to see this video if he hasn't already! RIDICULOUS! And the sad thing is his parents are probbly partly to blame. We don't need PUNKS like him on our streeets. LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!! Help keep our family and friends safe!
Posted by: Just me on Oct 13, 2008 at 10:50 AM
I think it is safe to assume that he does not have any regrets for the crime. I am sure someone in prision will appreciate his many talents.
Posted by: Liz on Oct 13, 2008 at 10:05 AM
He'd better watch sticking his tongue out in prison, he might just get it cut off...
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 13, 2008 at 09:28 AM
punks like this never learns a lesson.he needs to be put in prison for the rest of his life and never be put back on the street.maybe then he would not think it is so funny.
Posted by: Debbie on Oct 13, 2008 at 09:15 AM
A person with this mentality should NEVER walk our streets again, if I were the victim, I'd be right there to stick my tongue out and laugh when they throw the book at him. And if they don't I'd make sure he never harms anyone else, one way or another.
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 13, 2008 at 08:05 AM
Thats Crazy! Did the judge let him get away with that?! He should have done something about him.
Posted by: Jbenit on Oct 12, 2008 at 08:33 PM
This kid needs to grow up... and I hope that our justice system will put this kid away for a long time so he can grow up. He should wish each day of his life that attempting to take a life and making a mockery of the justice system was the pivotal point of his free life. I say bring back the draft that would counter some of this.
Posted by: Beth Ann on Oct 12, 2008 at 07:02 PM
For the poster who commented about the parents. You can not blame the parents for the way this guy is. I seen parents raise their kids right, going to church, curvews, love, all of it and a few are in prison now because they turned for the worse, nothing to do with parenting.
Posted by: anonymous on Oct 12, 2008 at 05:18 PM
WELL THIS IS REALLY RUDE AND DISGUSTING,HE DESERVES THE LONGEST SENTENCE THE SYSTEM WILL ALLOW IF NOT COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE DISORDELY CONDUCT OR CONTEMPT OF COURT OR SOMETHING THEN LET HIM THINK ABOUT HOW RUDE HE WAS
Posted by: slim29625 on Oct 12, 2008 at 10:51 AM
""TRUST ME"" THIS GUY WILL BE JUST FINE IN PRISON IF HEY DOING THIS ON THE STREET WHAT WILL BE HOLDIN HIM BACK IN PRISON TO SHANK SOME BODY..THIS GUY WILL MAKE IT IN PRISON ONLY PEOPLE THAT DONT MAKE IN THE JOINT IS SEX OFFENDERS AN SNITCHS

Please keep us up to date on what HE gets If he does not get 40 years then that shows that our system does not work .
Posted by: johnny on Oct 12, 2008 at 10:12 AM
this man deserves the death panality,seem he may even want it
Posted by: KISS KISS on Oct 12, 2008 at 07:37 AM
when this punk gets in side prison with his split tounge they will show him how toooo use it!! he will be crying like a baby!
Posted by: Isaac on Oct 12, 2008 at 04:39 AM
It is sad but somehow I blame not only this knuckle head but the people who raised him. It is pretty bad when you are facing that kind of time and you can not think of anything but to lash out at your victim some more ! That is truly strange, this guy may have been the next Jeffery Dahmer had he not been caught ?
Posted by: immature on Oct 11, 2008 at 11:14 PM
grow up you childish idiot.

CHOP IT OFF!
Posted by: Ron on Oct 11, 2008 at 09:51 PM
If this guy is turned loose the next victim might not be as lucky. I agree lock him up for a long time, so he will have plenty of time to think about his attitude.
Posted by: Gene Simmons on Oct 11, 2008 at 08:34 PM
He'll never be like me- he's only practicing his entrance to the big house. The "boys" will start a riot to be the first to stuff this jerks turkey.

i hope the man gets what is coming we dont need people out here like that i hope he gets 40 years
Posted by: jaf on Oct 11, 2008 at 12:02 PM
looks like his mama raised a moron, guys in prison will have a good time with this one, hopefully he never makes it out alive, that would be true justice
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 11, 2008 at 11:18 AM
This guy definately belongs in prisons. Who would go into a courtroom behaving like that? Simply ludicris.
Posted by: Miranda on Oct 11, 2008 at 11:14 AM
I wonder what happenend in this guys life?When looking at the apperance of his dental health I wonder if Methamphetamine has anything to do with his behaviour,seems to be a drug choice for addicts in our communities. More info@whitehousedrugpolicy.gov. I do however believe that you can make out him feeling some sort of discomfort around the last couple frames in the video. Fear, guilt or maybe the tingling feeling you get when your leg falls asleep, who knows what is in his head? During this video or while he was commiting those heinous crimes.He should be sentenced then evaluated carefully by a psychiatrist. He seems like he might have already crossed over the edge to phsycotic and might not be making it back. I can only have faith that our state's judicial and criminal division do thier jobs to the best of their abilities to insure this is not likley to happen again.There is this great book "Tales From The Crib" that talks about people/cases like this, if you are intereseted.4theH8RS!

He was just showing his wares in hope the mesnest guy on his cell block will pick him to save his self the pain of going thru the process it a wonder he didn't moon the court
Posted by: Amy on Oct 11, 2008 at 08:53 AM
He needs a fellow prisoner to beat the snot out of him. He deserves everything he gets. I say grow up.
Posted by: Raven on Oct 11, 2008 at 08:51 AM
WSAZ Please Email forward what ever you need to do-- get this video to the judge berore he is sentenced.You are our eyes and ears and voice of justice in Society Thank You
Posted by: question on Oct 11, 2008 at 08:15 AM
Did he even know his victim? He has no remorse and I hope that justice is served. I feel so bad for the victim that almost died.
Posted by: Rick on Oct 11, 2008 at 05:55 AM
I hope he gets 40 years and has to serve all of it.
Posted by: me on Oct 11, 2008 at 04:42 AM
Just makes you want to smack the @#$@ out of him doesn't it?

He will get a long hard prison sentence in the end! I'm sure of it!
Posted by: dan on Oct 10, 2008 at 11:29 PM
folks this guy is to old to grow up he has already proven it to us he just needs to be done away with end of problem he has no more right to be here than a biting dog.
Posted by: Kim on Oct 10, 2008 at 11:20 PM
What a idiot. I feel sorry for the victim.
Posted by: BIG BUBBA on Oct 10, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Oh I just think his bangs are so cute, and his mouth sure is purty! I'm sure the guys at the prison will love that tongue also! He's smiling now, but his first day in the slammer, he'll be weeping like a little girl, I know I've seen them do it!
Posted by: robert on Oct 10, 2008 at 11:12 PM
i agree with Raven. the pic of him sticking his tounge out in court, shows his lack of respect to everyone. what a loser. he will get evrything, coming to him in prison. in .wish some of the prison inmates could see that pic. Man, are they gonna love him
Posted by: j.d. on Oct 10, 2008 at 10:47 PM
people like that deserve long period of prison.
Posted by: Rob on Oct 10, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Hopefully another inmate will see that "cut along the dotted line" tattoo on his throat.
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 10:07 PM
I hope the judge weighs his complete disrespect and lack of remorse into the sentence and lets hope he won't be paroled in 7 years for that
Posted by: Janet on Oct 10, 2008 at 09:53 PM
What an idiot.
Posted by: Andrea on Oct 10, 2008 at 09:33 PM
I'm sure the inmates will think he has a pretty mouth! He should've been immediately thrown out of the courtroom, what a low-life!
Posted by: eric on Oct 10, 2008 at 09:23 PM
i beat him up a few yrs ago because of his mouth. i am nothing, they will kill him in prison.
Posted by: Scooter on Oct 10, 2008 at 09:10 PM
People, let's not judge poor Johnny too harshly. That tongue will probably make him a lot of friends in the big house. Blow kisses to Bubba, he'll love ya for it.
Posted by: jjf on Oct 10, 2008 at 08:43 PM
boys in prison are going to love this guy, looks like hes had some practice
Posted by: jj on Oct 10, 2008 at 08:40 PM
idiot just a plain moron
Posted by: dave on Oct 10, 2008 at 08:34 PM
arrogant punk. he'll get an attitude adjustment in the joint! lol
Posted by: Eastern KY on Oct 10, 2008 at 08:31 PM
Undoubtedly, this ***hole enjoys "prison life"!!! I feel sorry for his victim! Hopefully, the JUDGE in this case will also! So, So Sad that the US does not have penalties like other countries, like Turkey, who chop of a hand for the first burglary, the second hand for a second burglary. That would definitely take care of repeat offenders!
Posted by: Ashley on Oct 10, 2008 at 07:50 PM
Wow what a weirdo. Thats one person that you know will try to kill again! Lock him up forever!!
Posted by: april on Oct 10, 2008 at 07:25 PM
This idiot should serve the maximum time, he might kill someone next time, he shows no remorse just ignorance
Posted by: lynn on Oct 10, 2008 at 07:24 PM
looks like the judge would have given him about ah say another year or so for his disrespectful attitude. if i was a judge he would have gotten at least 10 more years come into my court room acting like that .
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 07:21 PM
Well i doubt this guy has any friends in prision . he is in for a real treat.
Posted by: death penalty on Oct 10, 2008 at 07:17 PM
This guy is a prime example of why we need the death penalty!
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 06:40 PM
They should have let the vicitm cut his tounge off
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 06:19 PM
The judge is Duke Bloom, I'd say this punk won't be blowing kisses when he gets sentenced. Bloom is tough on violent crimes.
Posted by: susie on Oct 10, 2008 at 06:19 PM
what a sick son of a b&%*#
Posted by: anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 05:10 PM
What an idiot!!!! This guy doesn't have a clue. I wonder if he has ever paid taxes? Now we, the Joe SixPacks that Sarah Palin is talking about has to foot the bill to take care of this joker. If he acts this way in prison, he will be a short timer unless he is placed in solitary confinement away from the others. Let him go free so the people can implement a little justice!!
Posted by: disgusted on Oct 10, 2008 at 04:43 PM
this is so disgusting and disrespectful of this guy i cant believe this...he deserves life in prison for even attempting to kill someone....people like him is why the world is getting bad...pray for people like him
Posted by: melissa on Oct 10, 2008 at 04:41 PM
i've got two words for him - grow up.
Posted by: Raven on Oct 10, 2008 at 04:20 PM
He's sticking his tounge out at society in general The Court The Judge The Victim and The Prosecutor.No Regret No Respect should mean he gets the maximum sentence allowed by law.But I bet he gets less,letting society deal with him again and again until he kills.Then we will all ask ourselves why wasnt he put away for a long time for his previous crimes.Why was he on home confinement.Scum like this is what the youth of america have become.They have no respect for their elders and no respect for our laws.
Posted by: Heather on Oct 10, 2008 at 04:20 PM
He'll be out in a few years... and you can thank the people you continuously re-elect for that!
Posted by: Bub on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:58 PM
The victim looks very familiar to me ... where would I know him from somewhere around Charleston?
Posted by: haha on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:38 PM
I hope the real "men" in prison take care of "pretty boys" tongue in there!!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:35 PM
one sicko!!!!
Posted by: Jenny on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:17 PM
I'm sure the other inmates are going to love this guy and his tongue!
Posted by: ENJOY on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:15 PM
He'll be using that tongue and receiving kisses himself when he gets to prison......
Posted by: WOW on Oct 10, 2008 at 02:58 PM
THIS POS NEEDS 40 YEARS IN PRISON
Posted by: D on Oct 10, 2008 at 02:49 PM
PUNK ! Somebody will wipe that smile off his face when he gets to prison and make him cry like a baby for his mama.
Posted by: Jerry Aldini on Oct 10, 2008 at 02:47 PM
What judge is he facing?
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 10, 2008 at 02:43 PM
This guy should have already been locked up. What a loser...no doubt in my mind that he would have killed this poor man. Hope he doesn't get back out in our communties to terrorize someone else. But more than likely he will. It seems the only people that get any jail time are the ones that are involved with money crimes. My prayers are with the victim, hope he fully recovers and never has to face this idiot again.
Posted by: what's his problem on Oct 10, 2008 at 02:41 PM
No respect for others. No respect for himself. No respect for the justice system. No wonder he acts the way he does and does the things he has been accused of and more.
