I want to dedicate this blog to the memory of Bobby Tillman. Some of you may have heard the story because it has made the national news..Bobby was brutally murdered on Sunday at a party in Douglasville Georgia. Bobby was only 18 years old. He was stomped and beaten to death by a group of 4 teenagers. Bobby weighed only 150 pounds and was ganged up on by the group of 4 much bigger boys while the rest of the partygoers stood and watched. It all started with a fight between a guy and a girl...the girl hit the guy and the guy claimed he would never hit a woman, but he would take it out on the next man he saw...poor Bobby unknowingly walked by at that moment and was immediately punched by this guy...the other 3 soon joined in, kicking and stomping him to his death. There were at least 60 other people at this party that just stood there and did nothing to help Bobby. Bobby was a good kid...and this has to be the most senseless thing I have ever heard in my life. While I did not know Bobby personally I feel a connection to him and his story...Bobby actually worked at the same store that I used to run, so he worked with a lot of my former employees...they are all completely devestated by the news of Bobby's death and rightfully so. My heart goes out to his family and friends. There are just no words to explain why this had to happen. RIP Bobby...you did not die in vain.

I saw this on the news the other day. It made me so angry!! I understand the girl's parents were trying to get them all out of the house and then this happened. Honestly, who would ever think that was a good idea?! And the 3 friends that jumped in after he was already on the ground?! What is wrong with them! I just can't believe there are people out there who would do things like this.
