Girl, 14, Shot; 28-year-old Boyfriend Arrested (BOYFRIEND???)
The Roanoke Times ^ | April 14, 2005 | The Roanoke Times

Posted on 04/15/2005 5:51:41 AM PDT by MisterRepublican

Police have arrested a 28-year-old man they say shot his 14-year-old girlfriend Wednesday evening in Blacksburg.

Michael Paul Collins was arrested shortly before noon today at an apartment in the Cedar Hill complex, across Blacksburg from the Clayton Estates mobile home park where he is accused of shooting the 14-year-old. Collins was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, a class II felony.

The arrest followed a tense 10-minute or so wait that police thought could develop into a standoff — Collins had come to the apartment door when officers arrived, but then ducked back inside and shut the door. A short time later he emerged peacefully, however.

Blacksburg Police Lt. Bruce Bradbery said he did not know yet who lived in the apartment where Collins was found. It was not Collins' residence, he said.

Yeah it's frustrating trying to teach your "girlfriend" long division.

I think MOLESTER is the proper term for a man who "dates" a 14 year old girl.

That headline's just all wrong - it should say:

"Father of 14-year-old girl not charged for shooting 28-year-old statutory rapist."

Blacksburg? Naw, I think the term is "brother".

An extreme redneck is someone who lets his 14 year old daughter smoke at the table in front of her kids.

I think statutory rape charges might also be in order, if not child molestation.

From the article: Collins arrived at the girl's home and fired several shots at her mother and another family member before wounding the girl.

Cain't be a redneck: ain't a good enough shot...

This man being called the 14 yo girl's "boyfriend" brings to mind an article that ran in our paper, which described an adult male molesting a young boy as a "relationship."
Sickening.

There are cretins in every country, state, county, city, town, village and neighborhood.

You should not be ashamed of where you live, but how you live.

If my 28 year old granddad hadn't married my 14 year old grandma, I wouldn't be here today.

Indeed. But the ones that make the news are usually from Florida or California.

I don't know about redneck, however, he's Jerry Springer Show material.

According to the video on the website at the link, he was shooting at the girl's mama.

In the not too distant past, it wasn't uncommon for 14 year old girls to marry and start families. And often times, young girls would be married off to much older men.

Would you consider those as cases of child molestation, also?

Even better. On reading the article, however, I note that there is no mention of a father. No wonder she hooked up with a guy almost old enough to be hers. Poor kid.

So narrow minded. People should be free to love whoever (whatever?) they want. Who are we to judge?
