| Never, ever, thought I would actually know someone who was missing. There is a black guy in Marshall TX who has been missing since just before Christmas. His mother is very upset that he has not checked in. He is just a nice guy that works in a business that I go in regularly. Always greets me, always smiling. The long he is missing the worse it looks for his return. Like I said never dreamed I would actually know someone who disappeared. Prayers for his safe return. |

Organ harvesting is a bigger problem than you realize. I just hate to think that someone is cut up then just thrown away. He is a big ol healthy fellow. You just never know. |

My thoughts too on someone thats missing, its not a big deal about the race this man is unless you make it a big deal..

Maybe I should not have mentioned it was a guy. Living on the I-20 corridor the missing folks are usually white teenage girls for human trafficking. It is very unusual for a black guy to be missing. |

              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | When you see a Amber or Silver alert it will tell you the race of the missing person.. To me telling a race of a missing person is very important. |

When someone is missing I would think as many details as possible are needed. Seems a given to me. If you say "someone is missing". . . Well, really not a lot to even know where to start looking.
I hope your friend is found safe and sound SOON, and his momma can fuss at him for worrying her.

You're implying racism. Would that have been the case if the phase "white man" had been used. |

| This is what I got from one of the teachers here at Marshall High. The paper said that he had borrowed someone's car and had never brought it back so the person said the car was stolen. Don't know how that works if someone gives you the keys. Just saying. Someone else said he was on drugs and he may have been but I doubt it. The teacher made the comment that the first thing anyone is gong to say is that they were on drugs. So the guy is still missing and things don't look too good at this point. A prayer for him and his mom would be good. |

It could be that, as a friend, he may have thought that LE would be more likely to look for a "stolen" car than an adult male. |
