this is an open discussion forum. keep it clean. personal attacks on private citizens will not be tolerated. you may discuss politics if you like but you may not rip or endorse specific local candidates.
Unless everyone wants Barnesville to become another avenue for crime, the DA needs to actually make an exampe out of what to expect when you commit murder in Barnesville. Just because they confess doesn't mean they should get off with a light sentence. Remember this was not a petty crime. It was a top of the list crime and should deliver a top of the list punishment.
Making a confession to this horrible crime does not make anything any better. It was quite obvious all along that this pair murdered Donald. I hope and pray that the punishment they receive will cause the maximum amount of suffering a judge and jury can give them. I pray each day for this family. Donald was a good man!

The funny thing is another news source was nearly defending the murderers and was picking on the Sherriff. What kind of twisted sick reporting would do that?
The Sherriff did a great job. Showing them the inside of a jail on the earlier charges was the right thing to do. Keeping fools with no brains out of crime scenes is the right thing to do.
The Herald Gazette gets the silver star for the honest objective factual reporting once again, and the Lamar Enquirer can go back to what it does best. Attacking the good guys.
While it is true that in many previous cases a confession means a slight change of capital punishment it does not mean that severe prosecution is not possible. We now have to focus our attention on the professionalism of the investigators, police officers, officials, etc. that will testify and give statements as well as the ability of the prosecution team to build an impenetrable case and not allow these two wahoos to keystone cop their way through the loopholes of our gov't.
In Loving Memory Sometimes we take for granted What we think we’ll never lose We never thought it’d happen ‘till we heard the dreaded news
We didn’t know that morning God had called our daddy’s name In life we loved you dearly and In death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you Though you did not go alone For a part of us went with you,Dad The night you left our home
A golden heart stopped beating Now @ peace your soul may rest With this we are reminded that God only takes the best
Goodbye is never easy It’s the hardest thing to do But taken from us was the chance To say those words to you
So today if you are listening From your new home in the sky We both want you to know,Daddy – We Love you and Goodbye!
A fund has been established for the benefit of Donald's two young boys. Donations can be made @ any United Bank branch in the name of JACOB & JOSH CLARK. Please continue to pray for this family ~
You all know the same few people keep getting called back for the grand jury in Lamar, and that the prosecutor often lets the grand jury be a trial.
The whole system is screwed up and it should be up to the prosecutor to see that it is fixed.
This is the same prosecutor who let a thug caught with a gun and a stolen car plea out in Monroe, and then that same thug (who had already killed someone in Macon) paralyzed a young man down in Forsyth.
We have to face facts. We have a broken gand jury system that calls up the same people over and over again, and a prosecutor who mainly wants to get things over with fast with minimum work.
I don't blame the prosecutor. If I was paid flat rate I'd work as little as possible too.
It is a broken system where another county can elect our prosecutor and we pay him on a flat rate.
Indeed, Walter Geiger and his staff have done a superlative job covering this case. They should get an award. I know for a fact that Walter missed a family dinner Christmas eve and a church service at which his kids recited a poem to cover the discovery of Donald's body.
Sadly, the Market Street misfits blatantly plagiarized his work. But what can you expect? City taxpayers are still paying off the debt from when VNRRND was fire chief and ordered a fire truck that wouldn't fit in the city firehouse.
you got that right about the same people being recycled for jury duty over and over again. I have been a registered voter in Lamar County since 1992 and I have never, not even once, been called for jury duty.
The Lamar on-line enquirer is now the official LW webpage. If you want real news you will have to watch this place. One good thing about them is they got Walter on his toes. Now this place is a great source of instant information and the other one has become mostly a personal agenda page. it's ironic how that happened, but it did!
Walter, you do a really good job. Regardless, please allow me to address the dumb ass that commented at 5:08 PM.
I am not RND but I am familiar with the fire truck deal. Information has apparently been covered up and bits of the information provided only to people of less intelligence that would believe whatever they were told.
You fit that less intelligent category. And I don't care if you hold a PhD.
RND was railroaded by the Mayor, City Manager, and lack of guts from the city council. The people are just as responsible for allowing it to happen.
RND informed the city that the fire truck they wanted would not fit but was ordered to get it anyway. The station could be extended using SPLOST. The truck was purchased with SPLOST funds and later sold with a much less costly truck purchased. This amounted to a misuse of SPLOST funds which the weak county commission did nothing about. Laws were broken but no body gives a damn. Yet, the people will believe whatever they are told and that's the sign of ignorance or stupidity. Try and find out what happened to the misused SPLOST funds and where the rest of that money went after the smaller truck was purchased and station renovation not required.
RND was used as a scapegoat on that transaction. Don't forget RND won a lawsuit due to that very corruption in your city government. But you probably were unaware or believe something else you were told.
But to close: ..... PS - I don't want to argue with you. You are so stupid you would want to believe whatever you are told anyway. So you keep your head buried in the sand, your butt in the air, and continue to let them have their way with you. You obviously enjoy it. I'm sure some idiot, perhaps you or some other know-it-all will rush to the corrupted accused rescue. It's difficult to comprehend how so many ignorant people can occupy a single small county in such a great state.
Walter's article states that Buice plans to release copies of the interviews with Kenneth Yost and Jennifer Clark. These suspects have not had a preliminary hearing as of this date and Buice plans to release crucial information to the public. If I was the defense attorney I would jump all over that. How does the prosecutor prepare his case if the public, including those who will eventualy serve on a jury, already has access to the information?
Since this has somehow degenerated into a opinion of the local news sources and local reporters I guess I will give mine. I don't know either person personally. I only know what I read.
When I read the herald gazette I can't see much preconceived prejudice even if I look for it. It just seems to be reporting of the news. I don't see a prejudice one way or another about anyone. I haven't any idea who WG supports or likes or dislikes. It is just the news.
When I look at the other news source it is very obvious they have some friction with the outgoing Sheriff and are deeply in love for some reason with the new guy. It is very clear who and what they personally like and who and what they don't like by how they cover things.
Maybe this is because they have limited time or resources to cover everything but the result is the same. It is very biased or incomplete coverage.
In my opinion this is the difference between a seasoned professional with a proper professional staff and someone who is in it small time with their own clique of buddies.
Well! Since we're talking about professional reporting!!! It is obvious that Geiger much prefers Buice over Waller. During the campaign if anything regative was said about Waller it remained on the blog. Anything negative about Buice was deleted from the blog. This will probably never pass Walter's delete button, but at least HE will see and he knows the truth. As far as the other electronic media newspaper is concerned, it is very amateurist. Many of the stories are copied from the Pike County or Griffin newspaper and you get to see only about two paragraphs of the story. If you want to read further, you must pay $4.00 per month. That's $48.00 per year. That's more than twice the amount of a year's subscription to the Herald-Gazette. I can buy Time magazine and U.S. News and World Report for a year cheaper than $48.00. My high school newspaper was more professional than the Barnesville News.
$4.00 a month. It used to be free. But when people stop reading because of cost, advertisers stop advertising.
He should be making his money from the advertisers and only collecting delivery cost from the people. And since there's no delivery cost - well now you know the rest of the story.

Confession most likely means no death penalty

Good reporting Mr. G.

a McDonalds hamburger will bring even the hardest of criminals to their knees!

In Loving Memory
Sometimes we take for granted
What we think we’ll never lose
We never thought it’d happen
‘till we heard the dreaded news
We didn’t know that morning
God had called our daddy’s name
In life we loved you dearly and
In death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you
Though you did not go alone
For a part of us went with you,Dad
The night you left our home
A golden heart stopped beating
Now @ peace your soul may rest
With this we are reminded that
God only takes the best
Goodbye is never easy
It’s the hardest thing to do
But taken from us was the chance
To say those words to you
So today if you are listening
From your new home in the sky
We both want you to know,Daddy –
We Love you and Goodbye!

Get off it with the crap about the investigators.

exactly what other reporters are u people talking about. i must be the clueless one. i thought walter and his team where the only ones in town.

Go Falcons
Actions go a long ways towards creating a reputation. That includes passing bad paper, not paying debts, stealing, and acting like a retard.

It is obvious who is the hateful wanna be and who is the professional. Congratulations in 2009 Herald Gazette, the professional news source.
