Isn't it funny how people flock to comment on these type stories instead of other important matters that usually are left without comments. And the nature of the comments prove how some people love to kick people when they are down!

Let us pray and offer guidence to our youth that is in need of help instead of name calling and condeming. Unless you 'get off' on this type stuff, which it seems so many love to do and that is just sad for our community. Get out there and make a difference people. PRAY.

I will pray for this young man and you guys who can't seem to understand how to better your own selves and character =-)

Gods Word Will Save YOU.

Thanks Jeff for your sharp eye and putting safety first not only for yourself but for others as well. What an idiot for driving (not you Jeff) the driver of the motorcycle! He could have caused a terrible situation on the roads. I say to the Mr. Floyd you do not deserve to have a license to drive anything and I hope and pray they take your license away from you and send you back to driving school.

Godswordwillsaveyou...you are getting on my nerves. What makes you think this article is any LESS important than others? This could have been more serious than it was. This young man could have killed himself OR someone else, or both! One can pray for another, but that doesn't make his/her actions any less STUPID. This is a comment section. People are entitled to their opinions (as are YOU). But you are being a hippocrit because you are judging others by their comments on here. YES this young man needs our prayers, but his actions were completely stupid and thoughtless. It can happen to anyone, but the truth is the truth.

Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes. Who are we to judge them????? I Love the kid!! I also love the 2 boys that come on here using their own name and stood up for their friend!!!! By the way, they are out of high school and both in college. I am going to stand behind Blake and pray that this mistake does not mess up his life.

Sad....so sad....that you people think you have the right or have paid a price for the right to a judgment or an opinion about a young man, such as Blake. I have read comments from you all in the past about other youths. Just like you were not youths at one time or another. Since none of you walk on water, nor have a direct pipeline to heaven I suggest you get on the wagon with me and seek prayer for Blake and others...I should also say if this young man is good enough to serve his country for your butts then he is good enough for your prayers and your forgiveness. I hope these and other comments do not come back to bite you all in the butt, but then again you are no better to have your hands slapped by the almighty than Blake is to have his slapped by the law.

Kricket and Jaron are right. . .NONE of you can say that y'all have never made a mistake in your life and if you haven't then you must of just been born today; you were a kid yourself at one time and can not say that you never got in trouble in your youth years! Blake is a good kid and I love him as if he were my own brother. This is ONLY the 2nd time he's gotten in trouble and y'all think its the worst thing on earth. NO ONE is perfect but God hisself and a TRUE Christain would not be talking crap and hating someone even if they did do wrong! Y'all wanna sit here and talk crap about Blake just for running from the law but what about all these others out here that do drugs and rape people but yet nothing gets done or said about them nor are you talking bout any of the others that are in the arrest area. Lay off of Blake and talk about someone that really did wrong if y'all wanna gossip. Blake made a mistake and he knows that and he already said he knows he was wrong. EVERYone learns from there mistakes!!!

Acutally, no, not EVERYone learns from their mistakes. He was released earlier this month for minor in consumption. Sounds like a few of you need to grow up. Yeah, we all make mistakes, but we don't all try to outrun the police when we do something wrong on the highway. You kids need to grow up and learn right from wrong. If you don't do it yourself, "right" will find you in ways you don't want it to. I'll never understand why some people always take up for those who do the completely wrong thing. If you really want to help, it's called TOUGH LOVE. Otherwise, acting like it wasn't really a big deal will only make it worse for the perpetrator the next time. And I'm only a little older than those of you taking up for him, but the way I see it is you either learn from what life has dealt you or you sit in a pity party for the rest of your life blaming others for the wrong decisions you make. So there: GROW UP.

First off, no one said it wasnt a big deal because it is; no one knows whats gonna happen next with Blake in this but at least he does have good friends that take up for him and have his back no matter what because we know he would do the same. And everyone does something wrong in there lives and y'all wanna talk about him getting locked up for minor in consumption but once again dont see y'all having nothing to say about any of these other minors getting locked up for that, or stealing, or drugs. Blake is no different than any of the others that get in trouble nor is he different than us. Also, you wanna talk about us needing to grow up but honestly every single one of y'all need to grow up because apparently y'all have nothing else to do but sit here and kick people while there down, or Blake anyways. And just so you know, not everyone blames there mistakes and wrongness on others; nor does Blake blame this on anybody but hisself!! TRUE People and your TRUE friends are here for you Blake and are also praying for you!

OK first off i want to thank the loving and caring people that have been nice enough to take up for my boyfriend.And to the rest of yall hipacrits keep your mean comments to yourself.Yall have no idea what he has been through and what me and him have been through together.Blake didn't pull over b/c he was scared & knew what would happen.And if any of ya'll had seen him today in the courtroom then ya'll would know that he feels terrible about what he did and he regrets it more then anything.Blake has made many mistakes in his life and he is trying to straighten up & do good,thats the whole point of me and him getting engaged so that we can be there for eachother.So i would really appreciate if you kept your mean and degrading comments to yourself and stop kicking him while he's down.He has a wonderful family that i love more then anything and they themselves are good people & blake is a good man.so i've said what i came to say so im done.

I BELIEVE (this is my opinion)... He should've pulled over on the side of the road as soon as he saw those lights. Just as the other boys have said BLAKE is a GOOD boy.. && I have known blake for a while and for everyone's information "the boys" do attend school but not "high school" they go to college. I think you all should stop talking about blake.. There is missing children and rapist out there we should be more concerned about..
I believe he should get in trouble for what he did, but i also believe none of you so called christains should be saying anything bad about him. Blake made a mistake and is getting punished for it. LETS FIND THE RAPISTS,KILLERS AND DRUG DEALERS STOP TALKING ABOUT BLAKE!!!

First of all, I know I am not perfect but if I do something this stupid then I will have to read everyones OPINIONS and take it like an adult. We live in a country where we have freedom of speech, so like it or not thats what the people in here are exercising, weather it's for or against this kid Blake. To all the dumbasses who have taken up or made excuses for him, ya'll should be pissed at him and let him know how stupid it was to risk his life and the friendship he could have so easily ended while running like a coward, especially on a motorcycle! This incident could have ended just like the tragedy that happened not too far from where he was arrested.
If all of the ones that "got his back through thick and thin" (lmmfao) graduated together, I suggest your English/Grammar teacher be fired, it is hilarious as hell reading your posts.

Blake has been caught and is now reaping the consquences. True he should have stopped and it would have made things easier on himself but no one has to deal with it but him and his family. Ive done stupid things and still make stupid misstakes, lets not string people up over this. Hopefully he'll get the punishment and by the time it is all said and done he will have learned, we all have to find things out the hard way just in different ways. People hold the police officers up above everybody else they are just like everyone else they dont get caught because they cover for each other trust me I know cause I know few of them.

Yeah, ya'll have really been through a lot. That's what I mean; kids thinking that it's just a big bad world. Jason25, you are an idiot. He "outran" a police car one time. All that means is that he'll get caught next time, or in this case, he really didn't even get away. It's always the one's who do wrong who blame it on the "sorry cops". Newsflash!!!! They're here to keep us safe on the roads from people like your friend who thought it was a better idea to run than just pull over and get his ticket. "Scared of what would happen?" PLEASE!! He would've gotten a ticket. Instead, he did something that he could be convicted of a felony for. Your license is a privilege. And really, this isn't even about the boy anymore. This is about 'friends' like you trying to act like nothing is wrong with the way teenagers act. Don't make stupid choices!!!! It's not the officers' fault when you do something stupid. We all have family members who have made stupid choices, but no, we don't all take up for them when they make decisions like this. And no, Jason, I don't cower. I just know the right things to do. I have morals.

By the way, for these people who are making Red Level look like complete garbage with their posts, I am from Red Level. I am also only a few years older than these boys and girls posting. The difference is that I learned from life, and listened to my English teacher!! :)

These 'young adults' are in College? What College could that be? They're having trouble communicating. This is not good, folks.
All they seem to be doing for their buddy (from their own words), is encouraging his reason for running, over a 100 mph, from the police.

Do they realize that if he had collided with another vehicle, they would be sobbing at the departure of their bosom buddy along with his parents and kinfolk.
In case you don't understand that, you would be going to his FUNERAL. And we can thank God that didn't happen.
But what if it had?!!

Stop apologizing for him. This would all end, if you, stopped trying to make him out as a hero against the cops and the people who called the law. Don't you realize, 'college students', that you're making it worse for your bud, yourselves, your Red Level school and your College?

I would just like to say that I know Blake and his family, and know doubt they are good people, and yes he is wonderful for serving our country, and I am sure that he could be any good ole boys best friend. He is a good kid. But to all of you that are trying to pat Blake on the shoulder.. you need to give him a good shake. I can tell you that it is a very eerie feeling to go down a road and have to look at paint marks due to ridiculous driving. Think of it like this, what if he would have lost control and hit someone. Suppose it would have been one of your loved ones? Your parent, sibling, child, etc...
Be realistic, he made a major mistake, and he definitly does need prayer, but he also needs to be taught a lesson, obviously rigorous military training isn't discipline enough, so I hope that the law does go to great lengnths to slow him and anyone else that needs it down.

Stephanie, it seems to me that you should listen to what sonny is telling you. You are lucky you can go visit him in jail instead of the funeral home. I know what happened that night, and if he cared for you at ALL, he would have pulled over, or hey, not even been speeding at all. Instead he chose to speed up when he saw Jeff, and initiate a chase. Sounds to me like he is just a selfish little boy. Just the kind of person you need to be considering for marriage. Maybe you should listen to the advice that your brother and sister have given you. HINT HINT.

Stephanie, you are not serving your alma mater well nor yourself today. You've been texting too long and you've forgotten how to spell correctly and how to use comas and periods - Basics! in the business world.
The business world is where you make an income compatible with your skills. Pay the lights, gas, mortgage, car, insurance, groceries, TV cable, phone.

You seem to be much more mature than your boyfriend with whom you have compassion for because "he's messed up..and "is a good kid" and "i know every lil'thing about what he has been through".

Believe me, that's not the way to start a family if that is your intent. I have 7 children and 18 grandchildren, and sweetheart, compassion for someone is not a lasting commitment for marriage. You, he and any children will pay the price if he, the husband and father cannot be responsible for his actions and for his family. He has a record, and I don't mean a country song.

I wish you all the best, and I hope this opens some eyes so that some good will come out of this. But if it doesn't, there are many fish in the sea that are better catches for a smart young woman as you seem to be.
Hope you both have a happy life whether separate or together, in the love of God.

Well, shoot we all a bunch of country folk so really trying to correct people's grammer don't make much sense here no ways but, I don't condone what he did by running 'cause a lot of us lost a friend in a motorcycle wreck a little over a year ago because he was flying down the road and yeah, he should be punished and yea his friends should be ticked at him for putting himself at risk like that but, heck ain't none our place to judge this boy or his mistakes he'll be punished according to how justice see's fit but, that's the problem with this county, people think they can run their mouth 'bout anyone here.

OK, I have sat here and read all of the comments you people have posted including a few of my good friends. The rest of you people I do not know. In my honest opinon, all of you are right in some ways and wrong in others. Blake is a good freind of mine so are Kricket and Jaron. I have gone to school with all of them, and have gotten to know them pretty well. Yes, what Blake did was stupid and wrong. I'm not sittin' here saying he is perfect,but some of you are making him sound like the antichrist or something. I mean most of you sitting here talkin' about the guy don't even know him. If one of you sat down and had a normal conversation with me, you would never think that I have been in trouble with the law myself. I have had a DUI and a minor in consumption. But, I have paid for my mistakes and he will too. So will everyone who does something stupid. There isn't a single person here that is perfect. He like me will learn from his mistakes and he will learn that horns will hook. When he realizes that, he will find himself and I think this incedent will open his eyes and let him be thankful that God is looking out for him and there is a reason that he is here and not dead. It took me flipping a Tahoe 8 times to realize why I am still here. July 27 I leave for Paris Island, South Carolina to begin my training as a US Marine. It took me going through the hard times to find myself and it will take Blake going thru the same. Some of you may know why you are here, but some of us need a hard push. This may be Blake's push.

God Bless America for all of us having the right to voice our opinions. But keep in mind that just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it has to be expressed. If you can't say something positive.....

Thank you for reading what I've had to say. By the way, anyone is welcome to check the grammer and spelling in this post, for it to originated in Red Level.

And I personally don't know this boy but, I do believe that he made a mistake, and his friends sticking up for him takes a lot of courage especially when some of the older people on here are constantly badgering us because we are "teens" as it's NOT so kindly put. I don't applaude this kid's actions but, I do applaude him taking responsiblity and his friends doing the same, I hope they do understand they're quite blessed at this point but, heck leave these kids alone.

I know Blake personally, Blake is a great person and a wonderful friend, and yes he made a mistake, but doesnt everyone? So before you come and judge Blake for his mistake, think about your own mistakes, and maybe your mistakes didn't get put in the paper, but you still have mistakes. And everyone makes mistakes with there grammar, Im not from Red Level or Pleasant Home and I know that. It seems to me like everyone on here just wants to find something to judge someone else on. Because first you talk about Blake and what he has done and then you come on here and try to correct people for the way they spell things. Why do you care how people spell things? And yes I was actually on the road that night, not to far from the chase, but I don't hate Blake for his choice. But that was Blakes choice and he is paying for that and so are his family and friends because of all the people that wanna get on here and say bad things about him. Blake didn't hurt anyone else by the choice he made. And I do understand the choice he made, but Im not on here saying that he made the right choice, but this is his life. Let him make his own choices, you dont have to live with it, he does.

He is a kid. And kids are going to make mistakes that is part of growing up. This is to parents that have perfect kids or so they think. Just because they haven't been in the newspaper doesn't mean they are perfect. When you talk bad about people it comes back to hurt you. So, let this KID learn from his mistakes and stop judging him. And as parents you just have to be there for your kids when they get caught at their mistakes.

I'm glad he didn't wrap his bike around another car and hurt people (including himself) while making his "mistake".

It sounds like he's a "good kid", but geez, if a blue light comes on, stop! Common sense.

You may outrun a particular police car, but you can't outrun a police radio!

For all these people who keep saying, " he is a kid, kids make mistakes"...how many people have to be KILLED or injured before they learn from their mistakes?! I know this can happen to anyone. And I could see one making a mistake ONCE. But, you would think one would LEARN from that first mistake! There have been several posts on here with people saying,"there are other serious issues going on like rapists and murderers". Well, this TOO is serious people! I don't care HOW many people come on here and say "he is a good kid", fact is, he did a stupid thing! Not once, but TWICE. He obviously has issues that need addressing.

Now, with THAT said...to the friends..what SCHOOL did you go to? Red Level? I knew a lot of people who graduated from there and their grammar/spelling was not like yours! It is apparent that you guys all hung out together and skipped English class! It's one thing for people to come on here to comment and "defend" friends, but when you can't even use correct grammar or spelling you just make yourself look more foolish! There is a thing called "punctuation". That may be helpful. If you are having problems with spelling, there is a thing called "spellcheck".

I don't know what college you kids are attending, but I feel badly for the English department. They have their work cut out for them.

Mbishop: We all may be "country folk", but we are not ignorant. We had an education. So we should know how to speak, write, and type at LEAST halfway correct!

And one more thing. I don't see people on here JUDGING this young man. It is obvious what he did was wrong and stupid. That is common sense! Not judging. To this young man's girlfriend: you really need to think long and hard before you decide to marry him. He has a long way to go to straighten himself out. It may take your help and several others, but you need to really think about that before you jump into marriage with him.

My 2 cents.
Lets thank the Lord that Blake and the police officers and everyone on the roads that night are all ok. He obviously had His hand on them all.
Lets thank the police officers for doing their job and risking their lives to try and protect ours.They get little pay and even less appreciation for what they do.
Lets tell Blake's friends that we acknowledge their love and loyalty...as misguided as some of it may be.
Lets pray for Blake's family to be strong and supportive during his punishment phase.It is difficult to hear and read about your family member being chastised in public.
And lets pray that Blake learns from his mistakes and uses the experience to grow and become a responsible adult and a productive member of society.
To the friends who have so diligently defended him...when you see him tell him how you feel about him. That you dont want to lose him because of a foolish decision.Maybe next time he is faced with a choice he will remember that his actions affect more than just himself and that thought will help make a better choice.
Now I'll shut my piehole.

The curse of preteens and oldteens is Texting. They begin to think in consonants, which in turn makes them appear stupid. Modern day shorthand for ya.

floknos said "How would any of them have been able to live with themselves after plastering this guy all over the road?"

Well, if he had been plastered all of the road it was of his doing, not the officer. Deputy Daniel is one of our best. He was trying to prevent this jerk from killing someone innocent on the roads.

mothermouse, said "I should also say if this young man is good enough to serve his country for your butts then he is good enough for your prayers and your forgiveness."

Just how do you think those who may be forced to serve in dire situations will feel about someone who runs because he is scared?! He will put their lives in danger. Not good military material. More like a chicken.

floknos, I guess you haven't had one of these motorcycle idiots terrorize your neighborhood. Do you know what one of those things will do traveling at a high rate of speed? It will go right through a vehicle. Then there lies poor dead grandma or that brand new baby just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time! I would rather see the driver "plastered" on his own than any innocent person.

Our officers are very skilled at driving. I think they have proven that plenty of times.

He did use discretion ... get that idiot off the road.

Good job Deputy Daniel and all the other deputies that participated in arresting one more of these dumb punks.

My opinion and it stands.

Yes he did get him off the road. The punk abandoned his motorcyle, off the road, like any good soldier would, right???

No disrespect to you floknos, just a difference in the way we see things.

floknos, a military man is a different breed of man. I should know, I am married to a decorated ex-military man. I did not bring up the point he was in the military, one of his supporters did. It is a black mark on their face to have someone so "scared" among their ranks. Stand tall, Stand strong! I think this fellow missed the point of boot camp making him a better man, a more prepared man to handle difficult situations.

Shamrock, hehe, I can hold my own against floknos or anybody else. Did you call sheriff's office and report your terrorist motoryclist? It works!

Come on floknos, you know what I meant. I don't believe any of our current county officers are liars or thieves. They are our friends and neighbors putting themselves in danger to protect us all.

You mentioned some National Bunk Outfit and those are the buffoons I was talking about. You know, the nobamer administration and his band of merry thieves.

Don't put words in my mouth.

BTW, do you have to post that religous garbage in excess on every story? Nobody is reading your rambles. They do make medication for obssesive compulsive disorders.

Nuff said.

Okay, first of all no one in Andalusia has any room what so ever to critize anyone. Especially since just about every single one of you are bad mouthing someone you no nothing about. By the way, I go to Pleasant Home. Thanks. And once again, you know nothing about me, so don't diss my school. Another thing is, Blake is a very great person at heart. But hell, he gets it honest. He is a fun-loving, care-free person. But, he is also a teenager. You can not sit there and say that as a teenager none of you have done stupid things. No one should be critized for their mistakes. So before you point your finger, make sure your hands are clean. I can almost say that the people that I know that have posted degrading comments about Blake more than likely don't have clean hands. Go ahead and pull your bible out. THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE. So, I do believe I've pushed my point across. If you have something to say to me I have a myspace. carlidouglas_93@hotmail.com look me up.
And I agree with Eggo, it's really sad that there are more comments posted about a high speed chase than there are on a nasty preacher molesting a little kid. I bet ya'll feel good about yourselves now. Douchebags.

ok people.you all need to get your facts straight.dont go off and judge someone you dont know.now for the people that are stupid and dont know what in the world they are talking about dont need to be leaving comments.blake is a true friend and yes he made a bad choice and shouldnt have ran and just pulled over.and yes he was in trouble for a house party that got called in.yes they was drinking but nothing else so what if people wont to drink it aint that wrong.and he should not be judged for just this little thing he did.and dont be judgein people from red level high school.we may spell stuff wrong and talk wrong but were not bad people and we have the right to do what ever we wont.and people with the name "thugg4life" dont need to be puttin their 2 cents in were it shouldnt be

I agree with redlevelstudent, I am friends with alot of people from Red Level, they are great people, everyone I know from there are great friends and would do anything for anyone. Just because they are from Red Level doesn't mean anything. So what if they wanna drink, they were at there house, they were not hurting anyone else. So, you shouldn't come on here and judge people that you have never met. Blake is a good person and if the people that keep coming on here saying he isn't would take the time to get to know him before you start judging people. Because who are you to judge someone you don't know?

Ok, and to bamagirl07, ok i came to the right thread, and just so you know, Blake comes from a good family and he has wonderful friends. Blake is a GOOD person. He has made mistakes, but who hasn't? I know I have, but you don't need to judge people you don't know.

Britt20: Do you not listen?! Were you also one who skipped classes? I am not judging this young man. I, as well as several others, are stating the obvious. His actions were stupid! Period! End of story. There is nothing wrong with standing by friends, but don't take up for their mistakes! He could've killed himself or someone else! Like I said BEFORE, just because one is a good person doesn't mean they are exempt from making stupid decisions. What part of that statement are you not getting? Like I said, it's nothing wrong with defending a friend, but the ones posting on here are talking about "judging" him. Like I also said before, there is a difference in judging and stating the obvious. It's OBVIOUS what he did was wrong, stupid, and irresponsible. Nothing else to it! If you disagree with that then you have problems too. My 18 year old cousin is the sweetest kid I know too, but did that stop him from making a stupid choice and keep him from landing in jail?! Nope! I am not commenting on this story anymore cause frankly, It's pointless. You can't change ignorance. Just know that I (and I am only speaking for myself) and praying something will happen to change this young man's life around before he DOES kill himself or someone else.

I think that you people are so caught up in gossiping for your own good. Blake really is a good person. Yes, he made a mistake. So freaking what? So does everyone else. Just because you didn't run from the cops doesn't mean that you haven't done something stupid in your lifetime, illegal or not. Blake is serving his sentence, but what about the people who are raping and molesting little kids? No one seems to give a damn about those articles do they? Is it just because were teenagers? Well, just because you all are adults, i don't think you guys understand half of what were going through these days. It's totally different from when you were growing up. No one got hurt thankfully, and he is serving his time. At least he has the heart to go off and fight in a war to protect you people who are so inconsiderate that they have to sit here and gossip about him. But, that's just because you have nothing better to do. Right?

he commited a public offense therefore subjecting himself to public criticism..my husband served our country as a United States Marine and he also went to war to protect our freedoms and our country..i am very grateful that this young man has done this for us but that does not excuse his crime..it also does not make him a bad person..yes everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others..but what he and all his friends need to understand is that when somebody commits a crime (no matter how small) then that person has given up his rights to live a private life..it doesn't matter that you all don't like that people are talking about him..wake up..this is how the real world and life really is! you will have to deal with things like this the rest of your life even if you are a good person..thats just the way people are..when you are older you will see that..i commend you all for standing by your friend and defending him, but please stop getting angry at others for expressing their dislike for your friend's actions..like i said at the beginning : public offense=public criticism..don't do the crime if you can't deal with the consequences

what does it matter what war he's fought it. he was brave enough to sign into the military. so what does it matter. and yea i agree any crime is a crime. but it still doesnt make him a bad person. you all need to stop critizing someone you dont know.
