HOMETOWN MEMPHIS: MAY 11, 2009 IT'S THE VIEWS TO A KILL


Memphis is no different than any other cities. At least one or more murders are commited every day. All of them are the views to a kill.

Views to a Kill are not always involving money, but.....

MIISRAEL, we see views like these too...

"I know, it's in all too common in our neighborhoods and in our cities."

Views like this one are closer objects than they appear... So very close to home...

Today, the accused Stanley will face charges of violating probation and charged with murder. If convicted he will face a term of 10 years in prison.

You know, I don't like to write about views to a kill, however I see them just like you do. One mother thought a Mother's Day gift to her son was to turn him in. So she did...

IT'S A VIEW FROM MOTHER'S EYES
05.10.2009
Memphis, TN

A 20 year man, Nicholis Simmons and an accomplice broke into the shed of Alan Mitchell stealing his brand new lawn mower and weed eater. Alan Mitchell said he received a call from him regarding leaving marijuana in his shed and needed to retrieve it. However, Mitchell told the young Simmons.."I'm not going to turn you in, I'm going to shoot you!" When the mother, Theresa Simmons overheard the conversation she called police and had her son arrested for the burglary. The mother of Simmons said she did it because of her son's attitude and that because of recent troubled she faced witholding information from the police. She said "There had to be a stopping point", so she turned him in. Simmons is set for court this morning on burglary charges.

Perhaps...she could see a view only Mother's can sense and saved her her son from a view to a kill.

Well, like I said; It's the views to a kill which affects all of us in our Hometowns.

Glad to see you stop by for a view to read with me today.
Let's take a fresh view on life shall we.... we can be thankful for every single moment.
