    My condolences to the families and friends of these slain soldiers, murdered by terrorrists in this never ending tragic saga of the Deep South. A curfew wouldn't in any way have saved them, and now the terrorists have even more weapons in their hands.

    When will the people in power come up with a solution to this daily tragedy?
