Argument over beans boils over; victim dies from stab wound

An apparent argument over a pot of beans led to the stabbing death this weekend of a Ringgold man, Bienville Parish Sheriff John Ballance said today.

Witnesses told investigators the stabbing was accidental, Ballance said

this came out of the news paper in MONROE i need to know how the heck you get on t.v. and in the news paper and tell the world that some one got stabed accidental? that is one question f i get after you with a knife i ment to do harm , then why would you tell the whole story that its over a pot of beans , the whole south USA IS LAUGHING AT THE STORY NOT THE KILLING the other question when are you people going to see how back woods your elected officals makes your parish look- NOW QUESTION WITH ALL THE GOOD OPEN LAND THERE WHO WOULD BUILD A BIG FACTORY THERE WITH THIS KINDA CRAP GOING ON - CLEAN UP YOUR PARISH FOLKS AND GOOD JOBS WILL COME there is natural gas there and bienville parish has plenty of land to put things on and a good work force - it needs the rite people to make things happen -- you can stay in 1800's or make some changes you know its 2009 dont sell your votes you can have so much more

Im from ringgold, what can I say, ringgold needs to be cleaned up. my opinion is to start with the local sherif office, then work your way down to clean up the common criminals in the town, I knew both young men, the killer and the one that was killed, its a very sad situation, howvever I would like to say there are some really good people in ringgold, its hard to tell with all of the rift raft thats going on in ringgold, lets spend more time praying for the lost souls in ringgold rather then putting them down. no one has ever been changed over beening put down, prayer changes situations, so lets pray

amen thats the only way to clean it up is start at the top and keep getting the word out where the main problem is - its some of the so called good ones that still into voting wrong - and yes there is lots of good people there not just in ringgold but the whole parish but for the life of me i cant see why they cant see the basees of there problems - but still 75% vote the same ways but there parish is going backwards and every parish around them is growing leaps and bounds why ?????

I'm not hiding my I. D. I am the father of the victim. I'm too busy trying to finish paying his funeral cost. It was not a bean in the house. those two boys were close dont nobody really no nothing. Lets jus pray that our world gets better. If you have kids watch what you say and be understanding. If you are employed by the media...how do you really feel to report something that appears funny to you. Their is not an award for mis-information

i for one see your point and yes prayer is the answear but i will say if your town and parish was cleand up of other drugs, and corricupt b.s. this kinda stuff want happen but no one is going to build nuthing there to help the town till the parish is cleaned up , i feel sorry for your loss , your son went to school with my brother in law - if you get the word out who was involved is this and change your voting habits it mite help the rest of the young folks there to get jobs and have somethng to do - so pray for parish change
