Anyone hear of Anger Management?????

#2 #2 wow commented, on June 19, 2007 at 12:30 p.m.:

it should never have been able to happen, many in boyds creek knew her problems and even warned the police/sherrif but her step-dad is a high up cop in sevierville and he covered her many drug fueled accidents up and now look at where she is. way to look out for her and your community. she deserved better and so did all those that were at risk

#3 Janis commented, on June 19, 2007 at 10:30 p.m.:

To #2 not many in Boyds Creek must not know her because she does not have a step-dad. If she was not married into a drug & drinking familey she would not of had a problem! She is where she is because of her husband and his familey. You are right she deservies alot better. One should not offer a drink to someone who has a problem if you love them.How dare you make those commints when you have not a clue what you are talking about.Her familey has tried hard getting her help and very time she gets better here he comes to ruin her life again.Comments should not be made like this unless you know the whole story.I think her and her familey have been through enough. Many people need to judge their owne be for judging others.

Janis-do you OWN a dictionary? Use it! She was an adult, how can anyone blame another person for one's actions?

#5 Yo commented, on June 20, 2007 at 11:13 a.m.:

#9 Love Of God commented, on June 21, 2007 at 2:49 p.m.:

god forgives and let anyone who lives in a glass house throw the frist stone. You are not to judge others, none of you are GOD. And God say's love one another.

#10 Feel the love commented, on June 21, 2007 at 5:32 p.m.:

Is it not amazing to all of you the fact that this is supposed to be a God lovin' community?? (God don't know spell check)
People make mistakes. Period. I'm sure the whole story will come out soon and then you will all feel bad for pointing fingers.
This is someone's child for God's sake, have pity!
Lets try to help the situation, not make it worse!

#11 Fed up with Know-It-Alls commented, on June 22, 2007 at 5:04 p.m.:

For all of you "know it all's" in Seymour. Get a grip on your own life. To know Lacy is to love her. Lacy is a very nice person with a problem. How can you violate a no contact order when some comes to your house abd want's to move back in. Anger managent would be easier with the help of a husband that loved you and did not taunt you about his other female interest. Sometimes it payes to know both sides before you stick you foot and leg down your throat #2 wow. I will just rename you "miss know nothing" with nothing else in her life to do except spread untrue gossip. Or.... just maybe you are on of those "other female interest"? What do the other people think. Why would this person be so hard on or interested in a girl that she doesn't even know. She didn't even know that Lacy "Does Not have a step dad". Hay "miss know nothing" what else do you not know - or what else are YOU hiding? Lacy will not weather this storm alone, She is very loved by ALL her family and friends.

#12 #2 wow commented, on June 24, 2007 at 1:14 a.m.:

Many of you are missing the point. Its not about who's family is better or worse. the point is this was not her first incidence, any of you who claim to know her know dam well that she, while under the influence, wrecked multiple vechiles in a fairly short period of time, as well as stole to pay for her habits. If we did that we would go to jail and hopefully get help to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves. Laci did not go to jail. Those around her covered for her (even if it was out of love)and she was denied her chances to get real help and her chance may be over. That is the true tradegy here. We try to protect those we love to see no harm come to them, its a great quality of being human, but that does not mean we can ignore the laws and the safety of those around us for the consequences of that can be as dangerous as that persons bad actions. We are all responsible for this horid event as any of us that knew Lacie should have tried harder to get her proper help. Even if it meant a short trip to jail to give her a real chance to get clean, we should have tried harder and spoke louder. We failed her as much as she failed us.

#13 to # 11 commented, on June 25, 2007 at 9:27 a.m.:

Don't let these ignoramuses get to you. They have nothing better to do w/ their lives. Sit back, relax, and plan for a better future. You need to focus this energy on positive not worry about the negative around you. As hard as that is to do, try.
Obviously our humble community would rather cause pain instead of healing it. There is so much controversy going on right now in our own little community, that people are in an uproar and feel the need to take it out on every possible incident that rises up.
Don't listen to these people, they have no heart. Anything they say will be forgiven in church on Sunday.

#14 a mothers view that knows the family commented, on June 26, 2007 at 9:26 a.m.:

#1 How dare you #2 wow Lacie nerver stole anything from any body! Her car wreckes were delt with by the law. Don't comment on something you have not a clue about. Lacie,s parents did spend a lot of money to try to get her help. And every time here he come crying and beging her back. You have to change people, places and things to get better. He would not leave her alone he wanted to ride on her and her parents shirt tales for a life stile he never had with his family. As for Boyds Creek community no one was ever there for her so why be there now, may be you are trying to get a feather in hat for some reason. Some areas in Boyds Creek you can buy any drugs you want. The community has not stop that, you may be able to earn your feather by starting there. You seem to think you know alot why did you not go to her parents and see what you could have done to help maybe you have ghost in your own closet. As a parent you do everything in your power to help your child to the best you know how. Obviously you are not a parent or may I say not a good one, what you say amy come home to bite you in the ass one of these days. We will see if the community is there for you then. Lacie will rise above all of this one day and I would like for you to have to look her in the face. Lacie will recover because she is loved

#15 from a family member commented, on June 26, 2007 at 1:53 p.m.:

Until you walk in Lacie's or her parents shoes you #2 have not a clue what this family has been through. Where were you when they needed a hand or shoulder. Lacie will overcome this. Her family and (good friends) will be there for her. God will put no more on you than you can bare. This to shall pass, she will not have to walk alone. She will walk with her head held high because God will help her be stronge. The point is sometimes people have thorns to walk on befor the bed of roses. And #2 if you care so much about the people in the Boyds Creek community then you need to talk to Heather from Boyds Creek because she has been laying with Lacie's husband for sometime and she to will get flees, by the way he is still a married man. She is patching him up from his 4-5 hour stay at the hospital that night when he was also dog drunk along with his family. She to is one of his other female interest. The hole truth will soom come out even about the one thats pregnet with his baby. People have no idea what Lacie has been through. But just like we tell her you are never alone, this is a large bump in the road but we will all together cross it hand in hand. Life is not perfect but you can take it day by day and make it better. From the family that sticks together thick or thin, thank you to those who realy care about Lacie she will rise from all of this, she is a good person with a few problems.

#16 Good grief commented, on July 5, 2007 at 11:18 a.m.:

Do the crime,do the time.
You can't blame others for your actions. That's why the world is the way it is. Step up and take your punishment!!!!

#17 Sarah commented, on July 6, 2007 at 6:55 a.m.:

I would like to say I fully agree with #2 wow and #16 good grief. It doesn't matter what drove her to do what she did all that matters is she did it. She might be someone's family member and so you want to take up for her but you need to realize whether or not he was a bad husband, she was still the one behind the wheel. If it was that bad she should've divorced him. And if she wasn't able to see that she should divorce him then all these people that are on here commenting about how it isn't her fault and all the other bullshit should've seen it for her. That is the way I feel about it. And please just look at a dictionary; learn how to spell "family" or "pregnant". Oh and to the people talking about throwing the first stone, this is a comment section, meaning anyone is allowed to say whatever they want good things or bad about an attempted murderer!

#18 Life commented, on July 11, 2007 at 10:48 p.m.:

I would like to say I fully think Sarah,#2 and Good Grief must all love the husband. Just like him NO!! heart. You are all by your comments just like him. And Sarah she is not a attempted murderer she has not been found guilty. That will be left up to the judge to decide not you. And as for peoples spelling I guess they are not as perfect as you. I think by your story you are no better than her X inlaws. You threw the stone, hope it doesn"t come home to bite you in the ASS!!! This is a comment section and that is what I think of you bullshit. No one lives in glass houses judge your own befor you judge others. Bet that would take quite a while. Or is this the way you vent about your on life by trying to trash other peoples lifes. You should be charged with attempetd bullshit!!!

#19 Sarah commented, on July 12, 2007 at 1:45 a.m.:

That was a superb comeback!!! Not! Maybe if you weren't part of her jacked up life you wouldn't try to take up for the jackass in the first place. Also I would think that you calling me "no!! heart" is really stupid since Laci is the one who tried to run over her husband! Oh and on the level of perfectness, no I don't think I am perfect. I just think it is important to know how to spell things correctly before I post them for everyone to read. When you post things incorrectly, it just makes you look like an idiot just as much as Laci. I don't love the husband either. And on the account of charging people with things you should be charged with being a total dumbass. Go back to school, then come talk to me when you know how to make sense.

#20 this is dumb commented, on July 21, 2007 at 4:06 p.m.:

I think everyone should just mind their own business. Lacie committed a crime and will have to pay the consequences. Stop blaming her husband. This does not help her. Stop blaming her family. This also does not help her. If everyone would just get past pointing fingers at people and start focusing on the big picture (For example, what could be done in the community to prevent further problems like this? Better education? Cracking down on drug dealers?) then Seymour would be a much better and less petty place. Yes this is Lacie's problem and she and her family will have to deal with it, but what good does pointing fingers do? Nothing.

#21 Ironic commented, on July 26, 2007 at 5:33 a.m.:

It's nice to see someone say that everyone should mind their own business but then put in their two cents.

#22 not perfect commented, on August 10, 2007 at 12:07 p.m.:

I think you all have problems. There is no one here on earth that is perfect. When we are perfect we will be in Heaven with our Heavenly Father(If we have accepted him into our hearts.)We need to pray for a lot of people, for example those writing nasty comments on here, they need to get their life in order with God, and go on about their own business and stop worring about everybody else's.

#23 Ironic commented, on August 12, 2007 at 11:54 p.m.:

again, people saying to mind their own business but putting in their two cents.

#24 two cents commented, on August 13, 2007 at 2:59 p.m.:

glad you have at least 2 sense, use it.

#25 Dear, Ironic commented, on August 20, 2007 at 4:11 p.m.:

It is my business. She's in my family.
