I’ve hung out with Ryan pretty much everyday for almost a year during both our Junior and freshman years. I’d give him a ride home each day from school since I lived only a mile from his house and he lived on a dirt road where I am all the time riding four wheelers on. Me, Ryan, and another friend would go out bowling each weekend, we would work doing scrap metal and we did our own little flea market deal so he can raise money to purchase him a vehicle. If not that, we would all hang out at the diner Ruby, slot car track, or ride around. The whole time I been around Ryan he was rarely emotional and couldn’t stand the fact of whining. His sense of humor would make anyone laugh. Anger problems? Well we all get angry sometimes, I do my self. Yes I’ve seen Ryan angry at times, one of his friends ran him into a poll smashing his face in but he would calm down a few min later. There are a lot of lies about him..I blame the new media mostly. I know Ryan, including his neighbors and parents. His parents are good and not bad people like some people say. Yeah I was considered as his “best friend” to the community here in Chesterfield County and I was put through some scary shit as well because people thought I had something to do with it too.

you really do know my son. and he never did say anything about jesus. Just hang in there and
you’ll see there is alot of lies. and yes ryan liked everyone at school.
and he wasnt going to hurt his friends or school.
thanks for sticking up for him.

“this boy was a sweet boy and you can’t truly believe anything until you’ve talked to him and/or know about him”

So these charges against Ryan are just bullshit and all a big mistake? He wasn’t planning to blow anything up? He wasn’t planning to kill people?

Oh, I get it. He was just misunderstood, right???

Give me a break. No one here believes everything the media puts out there is 100% accurate, but come on. There must be a kernel of truth to some of the things written about Ryan, otherwise the kid wouldn’t be in custody, now would he?
