First off I want to apologize as I really had no idea what to use as a title. The only word that kept coming up in my mind was disturbing.

Not to long ago there was a man who went missing. Unfortunately the man's body was discovered by some children who were playing in the woods a little over a month later. As it just so happened the man who went missing, and was later found dead in the woods was only feet from his brother's home. Soon after the body was discovered an arrest was made and an individual by the name of David Adam Pate (age 24) was charged with murder.

This story in itself is disturbing enough but then the local paper posted a picture of David Adam Pate and I was aghast, shocked, sickened, man I don't even know. I have provided a link: LANCASTER: Man charged with murder after body found in Lancaster woods | Crime | Rock Hill Herald Online

Then today I happen to be reading the news online and I come upon the story of another Lancaster County inmate who escaped while working. Again the local paper carries a picture of the escaped inmate and I immediately thought of David Adam Pate. The reason why is that I saw some similarities in their tattoos. Here is a link for the story and picture of Anthony Scott Vincent (age 22)

I have several thoughts on these two guys like meth heads, local gang, scumbags, white trash. Heck I haven't seen tats like this since the days of Manson, or the gangbangers in L.A..

Anyone else have any thoughts, or know what's going on in Lancaster County?

I know...I'm old fashioned , but here's my take on it:

Society has greatly changed, in my lifetime. Some of those changes have been good (e.g. desegregation and equal opportunity efforts; the cleaning up of our air and water). Some of those changes have been bad: people no longer have a sense of personal honor, duty, and respect, and, depending upon how you look at it, American's views on God have changed, for the worse. That's not to say that there aren't good people out there - there are. That isn't to say there aren't people out there who're looking into making the world a better place - there are.

But the prevailing attitudes of the majority have changed - in ways that traverse all 'labels' (e.g. Christian, Jewish, non-believer, Muslim, etc.)

IMHO, the "glue" that holds people together is no longer duty, honor, and responsibility. It's sports. It's other forms of entertainment.

In economically depressed areas such as Lancaster, where people aren't given to modern distractions; they're left to lives of crime.

That's what I see for Lancaster, and many other economically stagnant areas.

Like him or not, one of the great things President Obama is doing, is reincentivising companies to build products in America. That's will not only recirculate money in our local economies, but it will refocus the attention/efforts of poorer folks, who will have something to strive towards.

This was in the newspaper today. He has the same type of tats on his face and neck. He is from Chester. This guy has the black hair but it's not as long as the other two.

When I read the paper the day the inmate escaped, I looked back at the Pate article as they looked enough alike to be related.

Note to self: don't let my kids get face tattoos because it obviously leads to nothing good.
