Umm should we even let our kids out to play any more? Wtf?!

i think i may have taught his father...and aunt...soo sad

This teenager was drunk and ruined the rest of his life, very sad.

This teenager was a jerk off and could have taken a life. Stop with the pity already.

Exactly where did it say he was drunk? I don't recall reading ANYWHERE in this article the teen was drunk... Unless your a reporter too who has more information to ad?

A thief, a drunk and an attempted murderer @ 19 , can't wait to see his formative years...How do you spell Looser..Reeder !

This town is just white trash if these comments reflect anything. Is anyone responsible for their actions, is anyone accountable these days. And you people want to legalize marijuana and drugs too. Rachel i pray you become a victim as well as Joe so we can let the offender go which at that point you will screem for action.

The only winner here is the attorney...around $15,000 to keep his ass out of jail, or take a shot with a public defender....I am sure both of these guys are not church going people. And taking a hand gun at 11;30pm to collect money is bad news......Bottom line is maybe they both will turn out better after this......Beats a murder charge!

Slippery Slope-- Sshhh! Quiet!

Ok, I am 29 ( hint hint ). I was born and raised in brick and dated a girl from the other side of town. I played sports, surfed all year round and partied with everyone. Jocks, nerds, surfers, wanna be thugs, etc. I love em all. Still do.

What I can tell you is the big problem here is prescription drugs. I have tried them all. They are great. Kids love em. I am glad I liked surfing better than partying. I seem to be ok. For now. To the parents who say " not my kid, not on my watch, that only happens to the trashy families... Broken homes" hahaha. Boy do I feel bad for you!! 75% of the kids I know who are now "dope heads" came from middle class/ upper middle class families. Good homes. Don't ever ever think it can't happen to you or your family. Your wife or husband is probably on Xanax Prozac Ambian etc. That's the beginning. I know kids who were good up until 26-27 and bam got hooked. I know 45 year old millionaires who had back surgery and bam addicted. Lost it all. Be careful. These pills are the devil in disguise. All the shit you people talk will bite you in the ass when your little Joey is the next neighborhood dope head. I can also tell you that if there are guns, money owed and shots fired. You bet your ass there are two sides to the story.

If any of you want to have a realistic convo I am here to help. I will talk to your kid and help them out any way I can. Kids don't realize the decisions they make now have heavy heavy consequences in the future. I wish I could take back some of the dumb shit I did. All you can do as a parent is to make sure you kid knows right from wrong. Make sure they play a sport or have a hobby. Buy them a bike, skateboard, surfboard. Keep em active. Video games don't count... I feel bad for both victim and aggressor. They all need help. Don't get me wrong, I do have a no tolerance policy in my house/neighborhood. I do believe in the right to bare arms. If this kid showed up at my house I would be the one shooting legs. This goes back to the decisions have heavy consequence thing... I'm done for today. I just wanted to add my 2 cents and hopefully shed some light on these things. I know Sean personally. I can tell you he is a wonderful father and was involved 3rd party. You don't know the real story so... Shhhhh! Quiet!

The Teenager should rot in jail for the rest of his life after doing what he'll get what he deserves in the end or when he's bent over in prison

Wonderful you say he is . Well I sure hope his children don't come across a man like him at a young teenager that offers him all the pleasures of a party just so he can make money . This wonderful father took part in destroying this teenager , yes the teenager had a choice and made the wrong one but maybe if this great father wasn't pushing the dope pills etc. who knows what would have been for both of them . Karma comes back around so he should pray to god it doesn't happen to his own because the choices he made are passed on . If he was that wonderful he wouldn't have done that to another persons child . God help both families and all involved

i'm pretty sure the VICTIM is the one who was shot with the gun people. But some of you morons try to make the REAL bad guy the victim. that is why one is rotting in jail and one is not.

ok i love how all u ignorant people think the other kid was so innocent..1st of all the kid was threatening ray. no ray shouldnt have done what he did but addiction is a real ugly disese and none of u seem to get that, and before u go pointing fingers here..i have known ray for a long, long time. ive known there entire family and they are all really good people. Ray just got in with the wrong people but he is a good kid. despite of what he did he is a good kid because right now this isnt ray so all i can say for all u stupid people is get ur damn story straight because he wasnt drunk and i kno that for a fact so before u go judge someone else y dont u look at yourself because i kno none of you are perfect so find something better to do with your time other then bashing Ray who obviously has alot of problems

once again blame the other people for rays problems. WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS

I do agree. Ray is in the dope game now. Rules are different. Make bad choices. Suffer bad consequences.

He's is responsible for his choice he made and this young man will pay for his choices , but when does the person who invoked this whole mess pay . I mean the pusher the dealers of the drugs , the Sean K of the world . It seems so many lives were hurt and destroyed from the drug one man pushes . When will it end . I agree with a lot of what the 29 young man said with the exception of a wonderful father . How could a wonderful father do this to another persons child . Funny I know Ray and he said Sean's a good Dad , but again How ? It could happened to anyone's child . The drugs are everywhere no matter what you do to protect them you can't just hope there strong enough to walk away. Ray wasn't and he came from a family that loves him and wants him healthy again . Again I hope all families involved stay safe and pray they make it threw

Mr. Reeder was also charged with stealing a boat during hurricane Irene. He, along with his juvenile co-conspirators, were caught stripping the boat several days after the storm. The matter was bounced from county back to municipal where it was completely mishandled by the new prosecutor. He walked on that one but I hope he gets meaningful time for this one. Loser.

In answe to the last comment the juv in question was caught with the boat and removing parts motor and admitted on tape to what he did but wanted to pass the buck. Poor juvenile considering the miter that was on the boat was stolen another time , so again facts are needed. That was a case of not my kid and o I'm only 17 let me go . There was no mishandling of the case it dragged on to acclimate the juvenile but in the end he wouldn't testifie because he admitted he did it. So stick to the facts and story at hand. And pray all these stupid people that say Not my kid relize this can happen to anyone and the families of these kids have tried but again the drugs take there children.

I was on dope for a long time and did not ever shoot anybody....as a matter of fact I got my life together...Sean is an amazing father and friend so people need to shut up...ray messed up and ray has to pay bottom line...no matter what the circumstances were it doesn't matter...I did many things that were hurtful and paid for them all and got back up one more time and got my life together...jail might be what ray needs...

Sgt, Hine? I thought he was promoted to Capt. in the last round of promotions a few months ago...

Don't know anything about the actors in this incident, but why does shooting someone not result in a felony attempted murder charge? A shot in the leg could easily open a femoral artery, a fatality in many cases...Not just a minor injury. The idea of shooting someone to "wing them" is a fallacy. Especially with a .22. They tend to " bounce around' in the body and wreck more havoc than a round that just goes straight through - in and out..

I have to say...unless you were there, unless you know the whole stry...its best to leave you comments in your heads!

So what happened to The Safest City in the Country?

This was never the safest city it just covers everything up .

some people like to post things about others. but they will not post their real names

Because of how big Brick City is. We are being compared to Trenton. Camden. Patterson. Etc. Of course we are going to be the safest.

Pathetic how people can just sit around voicing their opinion. When it comes down to it your a no body that think it's ok to bash one another. Savages. You should all be ashamed of yourself for thinking you live in such a perfect world. MY parents brought me up in a very clean, respectful, and loving home. What happened to Ray shouldn't reflect them. Your all sick for coming up with half the things you wrote on here. If the tables were turned Sean would have done the same thing because he is the same person as ray. It's funny how shitty my parents are but they forgave the person who physically and mentally hurt my brother 2 years ago which led to his drug addiction. Your all sick individuals and there is always another side to the story. Seriously think about what you say because you say it or post it for the world to see. It will bite you in the ass one day. Karma is a scary thing.

Silly Romans

People are such hypocrites. From the threats Sean were making towards my brother and being it is all in writing. The tables could have def been turned. But all the truth will come out being this pathetic excuse of an article doesn't say the half of it.

jamie- what are you trying to blame this on? a bad break up? if so, that's kind of funny because we've all had one of those and didn't go sniffing heroine and shooting people

I'm only pointing out that my parents don't deserve the pounds but if you want to get into that you can message me privately.

it is not anyones fault but his own. growing up we are raised with morals and values and learn that there are consequences to everything. it's called cause and effect. he made the choice to get in tue drug game, he pulled the trigger (of the gun he stole), and he will do some time no matter how big of threats there were. just pray he learned his lesson and regrets what he did. and doesn't take jail as an ego boost

Good choice of words. He will do time and this will eventually be a thing of the past. But I'm not going to withstand the knocks of my parents.

So the first time little Ray came home whacked on Oxy, what did mommy and daddy do to assuage him from going down that path? After he got hooked and sought ways to perpetuate the habit, what was done? Interventions? Rehab? What was done to limit interactions with Mr. Kenworthy?

And here's another person who has no idea what their talking about . I don't have to explain myself. My parents are good people and I don't have to prove it to anyone. Your all going to believe what you want to anyway.

Death to all drug sellers.

Ban Oxy, no reason to send people home on that drug. If you are in that much pain then you belong under observation in a hospital. Way too over prescriped by crappy docs and a money maker for the dam drug companies.

I cannoit believe how low class and stupid some of you are. You belong in trailers in South Carolina waiting for springer to call you.

Oh poor mr kenworthy I feel oh so sorry for him... He is so hurt that he called my brother yesterday or that he was texting him today to "chill" and "come over"... Hmm wonder what's going on with poor mr kenworthy that he wants to see my brother and is contacting him?
