This guy is a bad seed, and the solution would be a good old fashion hanging, firing squad, beheading, drawn and quartered or stoning.

Does anyone know where Herr Doktor was last night?

First, your comment is not only cold hearted, but very cruel. Yes, people do get killed everyday; a lot of them innocent, a lot of them because of a crime they were committing. What you don't seem to understand is this, when these killings occur we do hear about them for a few days and they are headlined, maybe the coverage isn't as indepth, but they are still covered. Its not like we live in Charlotte, Atlanta or NYC were multiple people are killed everyday. We live in small close knit communities across WNC, where everyone knows everyone else.
However Shawn's death is a little different. Shawn was a young man of 24. Shawn had no enemies. I don't think there is a person out there that could say a bad word about him. Shawn had the job he wanted and was dedicated to it and performed it with the utmost professionalism. Shawn was newly married and totally in love with his bride. Shawn and his wife had just had their first child - a child born prematurely and ill. Shawn spent every hour he wasn't working in the hospital nuturing his son. Shawn gave back to the community. Shawn was not your typical 24 year old young man.
Shawn grew up in Swain County on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. He went to school in Jackson County. He played football and baseball, he wrestled, he ran track at surrounding WNC schools. He attended various inservice classes in the region. He was well known. He coached at Smoky Mountain High School in 2008, so many parents and players watched him on the softball sidelines just a few weeks ago. The last time I saw Shawn it was at the WAC Softball Championship game aganist Pisgah, he was in the 3rd base coaches box encouraging his players.
Your comment was cruel because 1)His life was taken away before it really began. His life was just starting, yet he had already touched so many. 2)People actually care about human life and the circumstances surrounding him and his young family. But the most important reason your comment was so cruel and the reason there is so much coverage on Shawn's death is 3)He lost his life protecting YOU. He lost his life so that YOU may go about yours knowing one less bad guy is off the street. So my advice to you is this: If you are tired of hearing about Shawn's death and the circumstances surrounding him and his death, then don't log on to this site or if you do, don't click on any of the links regarding Shawn and when the evening news comes on, simply turn the channel or turn the television off!
This isn't about you or any of us right now. This is about honoring Shawn's memory and being supportive to his family and friends - and remember, although we may be grieving, we can still read!
