hickory is just down the mountain from me...about an hour drive...we drive thru...it is a rather mean town...old mill town...i have vaguely heard this story but did not realize it was hickory...a lot of places off the mountain have so much crime...it has to be pretty bad to make the news...we dont watch the charlotte news due to that
Seriously? A "mean" town. I mean where is your hillbilly ass from, Boone? What, you one of those yankee transplants. Hickory is my town. Born and raised here, on the South side, the rural south side. Fred T. Foard High School, that should tell you all you need to know. HIckory is not a "mill town", furniture is the name of the game, furniture is manufactured. I don't think a single mill is left, Hickory White still operates. You probably can't afford the furniture made in Hickory. But you can pretty well bet the fiber optic cable that delivers the internet to almost every poster on this board was made here.
So, the OP wants coverage of the trial. Well, first lets see if he makes it to trial. He is in Hickory City lockup right now, they probably won't transfer him to county, for his own protection. If he does make it to trial, he will be wearing a bullet proof vest when he travels to court. And when they find that white trash ***** he was rolling with she is going to be in a world of hurt.
Hickory ain't Chicago, it ain't even Charlotte, and it sure as hell is not Boone. The people of this town don't take to kindly to idiots like this Wilson cat. You murder a kid, black or white, your life is going to be in danger until you get hauled off to Raleigh.
