WITH ALL OF THE KIDS YOU CLAIN TO HAVE YOU SEEM TO BE MORE INTERESTED IN DEFENDING THE HALLS. WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF OF THE INTERNET AND SPEND TIME WITH YOUR KIDS. YOUR MAIN CONCERN SHOULD BE TEACHING YOUR KIDS NOT TO BE LIKE THIS AND LET THE HALLS STAND ON THEIR OWN. THEY WANTED TO PLAY GROWN UP GAMES SO LET THEM PAY THE GROWN UP PRICE.GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE LEARNING.

Twisted your name fits you well. If they would of used their time more wisely finding a job instead of stealing then they wouldnt be in this situation...maybe thats why they cant get a good job no one wants to hire a thief. Do your time and learn from your mistakes. And twisted i hope you have a job instead of holding your hand out at the local DSS office since you are spending soooo much time on here. Instead of trying to convince all of us readers that stealing was the only thing they could do because of their situation maybe you should of been a better person and helped them find better resources to help them. I feel for the poor kids in this family.

call me twistedmotherof7@aol.com

if u read all the comments i was responding to ppl saying she should get what she deserves and that she should have asked a church for help if she needed it as well as other comments she tried to call churches but they would not help/or could not rowan helping ministries will only help 1 time a year no matter the situation same with social service and salvation army so no she did nat steal for the hell of it she tried to get help and could not also the comment about it not being her first charge is total crap this is her first charge look it up she has no record she took the things to sell for gas money to go to unemployment and look for a job and the comment about them going to the police when thier stuff was taken is crap to they new where then bike was and left it there because the ppl house looked worse off then they are you talk a lot of bullcrap for someone who is scared to give a name my name is melissa cross your so brilliant you have not even figured out i am not her

I have had severaL persons charged with these new laws in the last few months. We have been getting good cooperation from the courts in ebforcing the law. Harnett County NC retailer

TOI

It's not all their fault! Their parents were to blame as well! They didn't have any I hear. If not they aren't really here then are they? people become adults at an undetermined age in life and begin to make decisions on their own. ................ They made the choice. Sob stories were needed before the decision not afterward.

Again I ask what was it for? I have read back over the comments and It was said the stuff was stole and she received a felony for $110.00 worth of stuff, this is the consequences for stealing under the new law, its about like when a speed limit is changed to a lower speed, its for the safety of the people in that area, the penalty was increased to protect the innocent people that dont steal and have to pay higher prices to cover theft. But of course this dont affect people that steal because they dont pay for it anyway, they will just keep on stealing it, this is not a first time for these people. I look back at the comments also and I see you knocking off on everything from the cops charging you for not stealing what was stole,and then complaining because they didnt do anything about a moped and bikes stole from your property, and how bad these cops are, but you called them first thing after you where robbed. Then you knock off on the child molester not getting nothing but a misdemeaner, let the courts take care of that, that has nothing to do with this case. Then you knock off on cornerstone church, I have never visited there, and dont know much about the church but I am just wondering what does this church have anything to do with making her steal from walmart. Again stop grasping at all the bullcrap excuses to make your crime look minor. Also, You talk junk about spelling proper and using commas, what college degree do you have? Stop trying to make everybody else look bad,get a mirror,and start accepting some responsibility for your actions.

MICHELLE IS THE SAME OLD POOR ME GIRL. HER AND HER HUSBAND JT HALL. HE IS A LARGE PIECE OF SCUM. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST NOR THE LAST TIME THEY WILL BE CAUGHT STEALING. THE HALLS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR STEALING. JUST TOO DANG LAZY TO WORK. AND AS FOR TWISTED MOTHER, GET A LIFE, AN EDUCATION AND CLOSE YOUR LEGS. IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY YOUR BILLS THEN WHY ARE YOU ON THE INTERNET POSTING COMMENTS LIKE SOME KINF OF DRIBBLING FOOL.

Pam Dover

I have read most of the comments. First talking about the child molester I agree that, that man needs life in prison with Big Bubba. Michelle and JT did not molest anyone they were caught stealing red handed.They are old enough to know better. If you can't afford it then you do not need it.Now to twisted mother of 7 what a lovely name. I hope you don't have seven kids.If so get fixed. I do not want to pay for your kids.Michelle and JT get a job. I know you lost your job and that is horrible.There are jobs out there and they will not fall in you lap look for one.Now it will be harder because you have a felony. That felony will be with you till you die. I don't think the stealing was worth that. A lot of jobs will not hire a felon. I do hope that all of your lives get turned around and that this has taught you a very good lesson.

Harry Cox

I hate that all of that happend,but is still gives you NO reason to steal. You can't give me a good enough reason. If it was food I could understand more,but it wasn't even for that.The other comment was that she knows what it feels to have something stolen from her she had some stuff stolen. Then she knows what it is like so why would you do it.That makes no sense.I hope that the whole family life changes for the better. I don't wish no bad on anyone,but some people get what they deserve.

AW

Maybe if you had made better choices in life you wouldnt have so many children and you wouldnt have had to worry about anyone but yourself and/or husband. I do hope that you are trying to get work somewhere,but you already know you will have many difficulties in that area, but you will find a job, everyone needs a second chance out there employers! I understand that everyone makes mistakes and i only hope that life gets better for you and your children grow up learning from you and for you to teach them to make better choices for themselves. And i do hope you know that there are good people out there who will help in anyway they can, unfortunately they are few and far between! Better luck in the future

Your English Teacher!!!

Sweetie, please learn to use periods when you are writing sentences. You are killing me when I am trying to read your comments and get a good laugh!!

MJ

OK Wait a minute. I have heard of Cornerstone and I have attended church services there in the past and I can tell you first hand that the church is being ran by Godair and not by God, the way it should be. I mean come on. When I went there there was NO mention of GOD or scripture at all. It was about Godair growing up in the "hood". Meanwhile the man is standing there with all this gold and fine suits and a nice ride outside. If HIS congreation can't see what is going on they are truely blindsided. And now they are selling pizzas out of the church?! Is this not why Jesus turned over the tables in the temple? Find another church and feel the love of God before you write off good christian churches. Now landlords have to follow the law as well. I am a landlord of an apartment community and I can tell you for a FACT that you have to go through the court system. File for eviction, several days later go to court, once you get your judgement you have to file WRITS which is another 10 days before the police and come out and change the locks. Then if there is anything left in the house/apartment the landlord must hold it for additional days and after the time is met then he can do what he pleases. So with all that being said, I don't think the landlord just dumped you out. And IF he did you have a case against him. Why aren't you taking action? Instead it is excuse after excuse. But atleast you admit that you were in the wrong.

Typical convict mindset. You get caught redhanded in your crime and in turn, blame everyone but yourself. Your a thief and a felon, do your time and learn your lesson.

Stop havin' babies if you can afford them!!! There are ways to prevent it, but you obviously haven't practiced that.

Point blank there is no need to steal things, how would you feel someone stealing from you or your kids?? Everyone has problems to deal with soooo suck it up and put on your big girl panties... You knew it was wrong well next time you should think ahead before something stupid is done like this. Need a job? Mcds is always hiring......

twistedmotherof7

church isn't always what u think my house burned to the ground when i was 17 and 8months pregnant and my church cornerstone i called pator godair for help and he would not help me b cause we were not married but was not married b cause i wanted the wedding in his church and him to do the ceremony so tell me again where u go when u need help ss only helps 1 time a year for financial help so that is 1 bill and they don't even count half of the bills a persons has includeing things like diapers oh well i guess we can just let the baby hang free there r so many things that are crap so maybe if ppl would offer help and stop condenming each other life would be better

twistedmotherof7

if foodlion would start giveing items to help ppl instead of throwing them into the dumpster and then haveing ppl arrested for getting the stuff out maybe the prices could go down but when ppl throw perfectly good stuff in the trash its bullcrap

twistedmotherof7

in response about someone stealing jt's stuff well twice someone stole mopeds out of his yard along with 3 boy bikes and the police did nothing so yes he knows what it feels like to have something taken from him and if u think u r so high and mighty better than ppl why don't u put your efforts into something to help ppl instead of running your trap

melissa twistedmotherof7

she is willing to take the blame for what she stole but they r trying to give her a felony and she did not steal the things they said so yes she will get in trouble but u have a person who tried to steal say 110 dollars to help her survive and they want to give her a felony then u have a child meleaster in public carowind playing with himself with his 5yr old daughter on his lap and it takes 2 weeks before he is charged and then they charge him with a misdameaner so tell me that was justice

melissa aka twistedmotherof7

michelle is not a whore or on welfare and all her kids r from jt and she was fired b cause she chose not to kill her last child and go back to work invista called the hospital we she was haveing complications and fired her and her landlord threw her belongings on the side of the road while she was hospitalized so keep your trap shut if u don't know what is going on u can not say u never made a mistake or had to do something stupid to survive

Harry Cox

Michelle you are only writing this because you got caught. I think your butt should still be in jail. I bet you don't work and are on welfare. I see it way to much. You also probly have several kids from different men.One day you will have to answer to God and you will not be getting a attitude then.How would you like it Michelle and J.T if someone stole your stuff. I am sick and tired of people that are able to work not doing so. So they have to go out and steal so the prices go up.If you can steal you can work. If you are on welfare try to get off of it.One of these days you will have your pay back. Like I said you will have to meet God there will be no lying then.I hope both of you get your life turned around.

Did you steal all the items to be able to sell it for the money? How much can you possibly get for a walmart watch,headlights and a wifebeater? The bad thing is you lost a good job,and now you have a felony on your record to keep you from getting another good job, so what can you do now? The bad thing is,this is a how a person gets caught in this web of trouble. Everybody has bad times and I have been there too,trust me I have lost everything I had,through a divorce,including my kids...went through a nervous breakdown and had to do things I never thought I would have to and ask for help when I didnt want to,but I still stayed strong and worked my butt off to make sure I still come out O.K. It was never easy,there is help out there everywhere,but to risk what little you have for what was stole is insane. Now you will work twice as hard to get back where you were,and again what was it all for?

Yes, there are other people that have stolen things, but you act like big deal I made a mistake and now people get off me. Well, you caused a crime and now you need to do the time. Then maybe when you realize that you did not get off of this you will come out and straighten your life up and make a difference in your life. The post reports news and this is news because of the new law and you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are wanting to let people know that do not know if you commit this type of crime then you will pay for it with a felony on your record, because most criminals do not read up on the law, they just break them. It is not so much that people are nosey, but want to know who and where to stay clear of. Turn your life over to God and trust in him and he will carry you along ways (Footprints poem), but you have to trust in him.

Joel Johnson

Why don't you just run for county commissioner? You seem to meet the criteria.

Michelle

Yes I wanted to clear my business up for all you readers because I know that no one has ever did anything wrong in their life. I also know that you people reading this are nosey and must not have a life of your own. I know that stealing is wrong and I made a bad mistake but I just don't understand why my life is your business. I am the one who will pay for it not you. Their are alot of other people out there stealing and selling stuff for money other then me so get off me and look for them.

maybe ur newspaper should have written a story about companys like invista fire ppl while in the hospital or landlords throwing a persons belongings on the side of the road b cause they r hospitalized get into the truth about why ppl r doing stupid tghings and maybe these things would stop

twisted mother of 7

carowinds man got a mid for malesting a child how can a person who steals have a larger charge than a person who 1 malests a child 2 his own child and 3 in public w 9 witnesses and get a slap on the wrist explain that

cmo

Your poor sad sob store does not get it with me. I have been through X's more than you would ever even imagine, but honey I have never even thought about stealing SOMEONE ELSE'S property. Maybe you did not steal the sim cards, but you admitted to stealing a watch and headlights. You are still a plain out THIEF WITH A CAPITOL T. There is no excuse for it. There is food at the food kitchen, there is also clothes there too. Don't be afraid to ask because you sure didnt mind stealing and now you got a felony on your record. Also, if you are writing this from a computer then you got money to pay for stuff unless you stole it too??>> For allof you writing in trying to protect her and say she is a good person and should not be charged, you too need to get a life. Why didn't she sue Invista? Unless she knew she did not have a case!!! Also, to her husband you sure aren't much of a husband to be out stealing or being beside your wifes side when she is steeling. You know you are guilty by association.

Funny all i hear is 6 kids run over a guy kill him and hid it for months.But its ok they are good kids.Sme Forest kid steals some stuff.But its ok hes a good kid. Now shoplifting. But its ok we dont know what they have been through. Ill tell ya what i do know 6 kids ran over a guy killed him Forest stole and these shoplifted. Whats with you nuts? a law is a law if you brake it you do your time. I dont know if i want my children growing up being good kids or good adults any more with all the good kids and adults of this town get in to.

c. sense

Ok, Melissa. Sounds like you are her friend. Why didn't you help her or direct her to social services. Husband work? So basically you r saying it is ok to steal the watch, headlights and wife beater? Since when is a watch considered a necessity for someone to survive?

u r an IDIOT B CAUSE U DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER OR WHAT SHE IS/HAS BEEN THROUGH MY NAME IS MELISSA AND IF U WANT TO COMMENT BACK E-MAIL ME TWISTEDMOTHEROF7 THAT GOES FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS CHARGEING PPL FOR SOMETHING THEY DID NOT DO IS RIGHT

heres why b cause she lost a good job due to complications w a pregnancy at invista they fired her while she was in the hospital then her landlord threw her on the streets with 3 kids still haveing problems w her pregnancy people sometimes do stupid thing but some do what they hve to do to survive yes she could have sued invista for fireing her b cause it was wrong but then she would need money so u tell me what a person who lost everything in one month should do when no one can or will help

melissa

they already had camera cards trying to charge for things they did not take is wrong

Thanks soooo much for clearing that up for us Mrs. Hall aka shoplifter, aka felon.

Michelle Crystal Gagnier (Hall)

I did not steal the sim cards and the law officers are liars. Yes I did steal a watch, a set of headlights and one woman beater. so everyone who wants to read this read my side to. It also took the officers two hours to figure a charge on my husband. It was all Michelle Hall who stole the stuff.

(C.S.A.t.)Can't Stand A Theif

How about if a person takes labels off exsisting low meats items and placing on higher priced meat items.Great Catch guys!!I hope this gets around and helps control crime.

Tyler

When I worked at the Food Lion on Faith Road, theft was absolutely rampant. Not a day went by that a person would walk out with a cut of meat hidden under their child's coat, or candybars under their jacket. It was a shock to me when I saw the lengths some people would go to get something for nothing. We caught people often, but I can't help but wonder what happened to the people that weren't caught. Stop stealing and prices will go down. Groceries are incredibly competitive; if Food Lion can afford to go down $1 on their chicken breasts because theft is down, they'll do it. They know people will go to Aldi or Wal-Mart if the chicken breasts are cheaper there.

CL

It is about time that these people get something other than a slap on the hand. I own a store and have to mark every item up 10%more that I need to cover the cost of theif. I think walmart and bigger stores have like 20 % built in to there prices. That means you will pay $20.00 extra because our court system lets these jokers by.
