GOOD FOR NOTHING

EDITOR: I was saddened to hear that 22-year-old Kyle Johnson and his two
associates were not killed in the explosion of their methamphetamine lab in
Unicoi County.

I hope the two who escaped to South Carolina were hurt badly enough they
had to seek medical attention so the authorities have a chance of catching
them, too.

These three people were trying to destroy the lives of countless numbers of
people to make a quick buck. These people should be tried for attempted
murder, or if it can be proved they have sold their product before, the
sentence on conviction should be life without parole.

These three are nothing more than a waste of good air while they're still
breathing.
