Sound Off for Sept. 11, 2020

Unbelievable response

This is my first time responding to a Sound Off. To the person judging the mother of the man who allegedly murdered two men, you have not walked a mile in her shoes. Many times children and teens have undiagnosed mental illness and no amount of discipline or religion will change that behavior. She sounds like a woman that is not making excuses for her son but tried numerous times to get him help.

Pass Road

Come on Biloxi and Gulfport, Pass road is a mess. The manhole covers are all uneven, and the street is full of bad patches and potholes. The businesses and citizens deserve better. Just one other thing, the mayor of Biloxi should ride down newly paved Camp Wilkes Road and see if he thinks that is a good paving job. Don’t we have better paving companies on the Coast?

Scammed again

Why don’t I learn? Warning: Do not order anything you see on Yahoo News on your computer, instead go to the company website to see if it is a legitimate deal. Even Paypal will not be of much use to get your money back.

Red Kool-Aid

To “Disparaging remarks,” so John McCain was not a hero but a traitor. John McCain was was shot down and spent many years in captivity. All the while your hero was kept out of the service, because his father paid off some doctor to fabricate an excuse. How did Trump help the military by taking money from it to spend on the wall that Mexico was going to pay for? Red Kool-Aid is really flowing.

Two deferments

Joe Biden had his military service deferred also, not that it matters to you. The Democrats had no response except to blame Trump, and now it sounds like you are saying we would not have had one single death if Democrats were in charge. That is the same kind of backward thinking that allowed someone like Trump to be elected in the first place.

Shame on you

What exactly did McCain do to make him a traitor? In this age of Trump, many of you are following his lead with lies meant to discredit others who have better character.
