This can only cause more racial tension to fill Newberry. It was a tragedy that Mr Hill, was killed and his dead body drug for all those miles... My heart goes out to his family, friends and other loved ones. Mr Collins and Mr Hill gave apperances that they were at the least on friendly terms up until the murder. I believe it was more a crime of passion than a racial hate crime. Why would they spend ALL that day before together if there was hate there? I don't think the Black Panthers are anymore good for our community than if the KKK would have marched when my friends sister was killed, by being stabbed to death by her African American boyfriend... as he stole her pay check ( several years ago) Neither the KKK or the Black Panthers do any good for such a diverse community as Newberry. We as the People of Newberry, should stand together as one... fighting for justice for all, regardless of our color. If the Black Panthers want to do good... let them raise money for Mr. Hill's young kids , so that they can have a better life and afford to go to a good college. I am sure that when proven guilty, Mr. Collins will pay for the crime. Remember his family is loosing a loved one, too. My heart goes out to his parents as they struggle to come to grips of what their son allegedly done.

Can we please leave this alone. Newberry does not need a bunch of crap due to two people that were of different race. That was only between two men so why blame it on the whole town. This happens all over the world. No one can control what goes on between two people. I am sure it would not have happened if someone else was there to take control of the situation, but that is it no one was there and no one knows why this happened. It was a terrible crime and collins should seek maximum punishment decided by a court system. No march can erase the fact that it happened. It is what it is between those two men not me nor the next person.
