Teen dad profiled in People mag is killed

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- An 18-year-old single father whose struggle raising his toddler daughter was featured in People magazine has been killed in Philadelphia.

Terrell Pough was shot in the head on his way home from work Thursday night and later died at Temple University Hospital, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Police said they have no suspects but do have a possible lead. No further details of the slaying were released.

The August issue of People profiled Pough, who worked as the night manger at a local restaurant while attending school full-time and raising his daughter, Diamond, who will be 2 on Nov. 27.

"She's what I work for, what I live for, why I wake up," he told People. "She's everything."

Diamond, who had full-custody of his daughter, had planned to work in construction after graduating next June.

"If something ever happens to me, no one can ever tell her that her dad didn't take care of her," he told People.

Whatever...like I said, I very rarely post to people who only show up to defend Howlin. So, good day.

What I have to say about your family might get me banned...so I will leave it at that.

Since you don't know anything about my family, I hardly see what you could post that would get you banned.

Since you don't seem to be able to RETAIN the written word, once again I'll say I'm NOT going looking for it.

But I stand by that you did say it.

I'm really surprised she hasn't started telling people

"Don't post to me anymore."

"Stop posting to me."

That's the way it usually happens.

YOu will find none more opposed to OOW births. But this young man was not the typical Knock-em up and Leave-em so routine in the inner city. He was trying to do right but that is not enough for the Holier Than Thou hypocrits who can't wait to tell us all about the "right" way.

You know little about this but that doesn't stop you from running your mouth.

Ever hear the story of the Prodigal Son? Maybe you should reread it.

The post Howlin is talking about was not offensive.

So, leaving aside the fact that you completely deny you ever posted anything like that and I said you did, here on this very thread you'd saying that implying that Miers was a lesbian and shouldn't be given a seat on the Supreme Court because she's never married is NOT offensive?

Busted.

Ummmmm..........I had one post deleted once when I forgot the sarcasm tag. (I would have deleted it myself had I been the mod, and didn't know it was sarcasm).

Then once I had one deleted on the DOSE along with some other DOSER's posts, but not by the mod.......(THAT's a long story).

Other than that, NONE.

And now you're saying that I'm lying too? Exactly how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Per YOUR post #266:

But we don't go around bragging about our sins in national magazines. We are ashamed of our sins. Our sins often have hurt our families and friends. We feel guilt. We know what we did was wrong. I still get the feeling if this was a story about a white kid, it wouldn't be a story. For that I feel very bad.

YOU introduced the idea about people not going around bragging about their sins in magazines. I just wanted to know how you came to the conclusion that this murdered teen father bragged about his sins.

I've already shared my personal reasons for my reaction to this story which I first heard of on this thread. I also stated that premarital sex is wrong. Maybe you should read my responses. Then you will know that I'm not condoning the circumstances of his daughter's birth nor his lifestyle prior to his daughter's birth.

84 times since 10 a.m. today. And counting!

At work, I think; now there's a good moral ethic, isn't it?
