  1. Expect a lot worse in the coming months ….. wait til everything breaks down in Chiraq!

  2. Yep, things are about to get very interesting.

    Guns and ammo are already selling out.

  3. Ms. T yes words are so true… LOL….. complete chaos a coming, once all the T.P. runs out…

  4. If Patrick D. Kenneally is handling this I’d see the case to jury verdict.

  5. What does “Transient” mean?

    Homeless, guys just passing through, druggie/bums?

    Either way, nice to know they’r hanging at 3 Oaks Recreational Area—hopping fence and going way away from the main building doing whatever they do.

    In this case murder a guy.

  6. It was stated that:

    “This was an isolated event as the victim and subjects arrested were acquaintances”.

    Who knowns what happen here, it could have been a drug deal gone bad, or the victim would not share his candy bar.

  7. Transients …what a nice word for homeless..

    hey lets just call them “Vagabond Lovers” another nice word for F@#king Bums

    Or “Errant knights of the road”

    how about 3 bums kill a 4th bum because they were allowed to pack up like wolfs and attack society… maybe thats stark realism

    Here is one view not so stark…3 poor misguided souls while suffering from childhood disorders kill a friend

  8. Probably part of the lot that hangs around and begs by CL Target area,and sleeps near the rail spur along the bike path–that wooded area around Congress Pkwy and S. Main Street—

    they sleep in shelters during the cold months, hang in the woods when its nicer out…

    and I guess they now hang at 3 Oaks wooded areas too.

    Get this trash out of the area…

    harrass them until they leave.

    Most beg for booze and drugs.

  9. In fact, those that relentlessly harass others should have their foid cards revoked and all of their guns and ammunition removed from their possession.

    Family members should be notified of the subjects behavior. Would be curious to know if his daughter, who by the way is a psychologist, knows what her father has been up to. Believe me, she doesn’t know half of it!

    The KIA SOUL facebook group should also ban the same individual!

    After all, he has no SOUL!

  10. The fact is, he is a pathetic loser who couldn’t get a date if he tried!

  11. Someone we know is in Columbia South Carolina, is trying to be a Cal Skinner clone!

    Apparently, the Richland County Sheriffs Department needs an update!

    Teresa Holmes, also needs an update!

    Prepare to pack your bags and run to another town!

    After all, that is what he does best!

  12. Narcissistic people like him, have an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

    RUN FOR THE HILLS BEFORE HE EXPLODES!

  13. Thank you to the one above, that poor pathetic loser is in a high risk category for contracting the Coronavirus…

    Please have have mercy on everyone but DA LOSER!

  14. He will forever and always be DA LOSER!

    Now, go cry, pack your car, and do all of us a favor, LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. DA LOSER has lost any and all credibility!

    HE will never be able to face the people of South Carolina ever again.

    Poor pathetic thing!

  16. He’s played the Casino’s in Wisconsin, but he will never have any luck even if he tries.

    The one from above knows what “DA LOSER” has been up to!

  17. Thankfully our Dear Leader has spewed his MAGA powers upon the land!

    Thank you for making America great again, Don the Con!

  18. Such a nice group, these “Transients”…

    “According to criminal complaints filed in McHenry County court on Wednesday, the group of men kicked, choked and punched Krikie before picking up a rock and striking him in the head. It wasn’t immediately clear which man delivered the fatal blow. Each man is being held accountable, however, since police say the men acted as “a group, according to the complaint”.

  19. If these alleged murders and dirtball’s invoked their right to remain silent it maybe too tough of a case for Patrick D. Kenneally to prosecute and convince a Jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

    Kenneally gets his ‘wins’ on plea bargains and confessions. Convincing a Jury is a different story.
