Roswell, GA's "Chicken Man" home explodes moments before eviction!

The local radio station here in Georgia did a short bit on it this morning. It sounds like they dont have their facts or they are getting them from a media source that doesnt know the full truth.
The radio station is pretty good about talking about stuff their listeners bring to their attention so I wrote on their wall..

If yall could go there and either "like" the comment or comment under it about the situation will more than likely get their attention and they will talk about it..

How very sad. Sounds like this council is out of control. You can start online petitions very easily at Change.org, maybe something worth looking into? Send a message to the governors office, state representatives, senators, etc.

Rest in peace -

That is truly horrifying.It makes me sick to think that people can drive someone to that point, and then sleep at night! It's a sad world we live in.
That poor man! This is why I would love to live on 100 acres...smack dab in the middle.

I read through this thread yesterday and I was simply too sad and horrified to post. Been thinking about him today at odd times. The story just keeps popping into my head. It's so sad... really. What is this world coming too? Where did the truly good people go? Is it me or are they outnumbered, disillusioned and under threat?
I've noticed that being a good person (i.e. being generous, helpful and kind) seems to make you appear weak so people target you, steal from you, give you a hard time, abuse your kindness, I've had that experience a few times now and it got so bad that I decided to stop helping people and help animals instead!
I've a question that no-one could give me an answer to: if you do a good thing and someone turns it into a bad experience for you by abusing it, being ungrateful etc, is it still a good thing?
Tell me what you think and be honest, please.

I am so disturbed by what was done to this man, I'm beyond words....

As for his final decision, I cannot agree with it, but I can understand how someone could get to that point after having everything that matters to them pulled out from under them.

So sad. I hope some attention that leads to something positive comes to this. I thank our BYCers for putting this out there instead of allowing this to be buried.

This also reminds me of an article that I just read yesterday that bothered me.... http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/...py-on-internet-users-to-prevent-animal-abuse/ Will this information really be used to protect animals?

Sumi, I've had that happen where I have done something nice for someone and had it backfire. I just don't go out of my way for that person anymore. It doesn't diminish the effort I made, and for the couple of people who were unbelieveably rude or thought I should have done more, there have been many more who let me know that what I did made their day, or lifted their spirits. I'm still going to do what I can for those I love, and be a good friend and neighbor. I can't change the world, or miserable people, but I can have peace in my little corner of the world knowing that I tried to be kind.

If I stop caring, it makes me less than who I want to be.

Very well written article by a journalist that did not know Andrew and did the research necessary to produce a truthful piece about him and all his troubles.

Thank you for sharing. I found this article that I thought was interesting:

It bothers me to no end that no one was able to help him - or anyone who could, was not willing to.
