The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Albert DeMagnus, the 74-year old founder and CEO of Computer Management Services, Inc. was stabbed to death during a home invasion.

When Deputies responded to the home at approximately 2:30 a.m., they found DeMangus with a stab wound. He was taken to Piedmont Fayette Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The homeowner’s wife told authorities three men demanded cash and jewelry before taking the victim’s gray Lexus and leaving the scene. That’s when she called 911.

Deputies spotted the Lexus near the scene of the home invasion, Babb said. The stolen car crashed in the area of Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard and Bradley Drive and two men ran, he said. Deputies and Fayetteville police officers found located both men.

Jeffrey Lee Wallace, 22, of Atlanta, and Kavion Wyzeenski Tookes, 21, of Decatur, were both arrested and being held Friday night at the Fayette County jail.

    "Rights come with obligations."

    You could have shortened your post to that one sentence, and some few of us would have understood it. But, the verbiage that accompanies that one sentence is necessary to help other people to understand it. Unfortunately, a lot of people will never understand that one short sentence, no matter how much time and effort you spend on them.

    Sometimes, I wonder if they even teach civics classes in school anymore. It seems that fewer and fewer people understand that all of your rights are accompanied by responsibilities.

    Those who won't fight for their freedom are undeserving of freedom. Those who won't learn the proper use of a firearm are undeserving of firearms. Those who won't learn to be responsible speakers, don't deserve the freedom of speech. On and on it goes. About the only place where we see this concept driven home, is with driver's licenses. Those who won't drive responsibly eventually lose the privilege of driving.

    Oh yeah, privileges vs rights. A lot more people understand that privileges can be revoked, than there are people who understand that rights can also be revoked.

    No. They don't teach civics. They teach Social Studies, which isn't really the same thing.

    When I retired, I spent some time at UMF, teaching mathematics. They had normal rote skills and had memorized many things. They'd never been taught critical thinking, civic, or how to learn. We had many spirited discussions and good times. We learned more than mathematics.

    Alas, too many students and too little time. As I was retired, I'll be damned if I will put up with that level of frustration. The kids were great and eager to learn, once engaged. They aren't dumb. They are not failing us. We are failing them.

    One might say we have the responsibility to give them motivation to engage their intellectual curiosity. After all, we had the right to breed them.

    Meh... Just some mental bubblegum.
