The painting, “May the Sun Rise Over Your Tears,” was donated to the District Attorney’s Office to hang in the domestic violence interview room of the Richmond County Judicial Center upon its completion. It was painted by Charlotte radio personality Arroe Collins. Pictured is Quick Stop Framing employee Larry Crowson as he places it on an easel. The painting will be on display at the shop’s downtown Rockingham location until it is placed in the judicial center.

If the folks that made the comments about the painting knew anything at all about art or the artist they would have known that May your tears rise above your fear is Arroe Collins personal signature pharse along with Keep Smiling. Arroe has been a personal friend of mine for many years so i know this to be the truth. All of you who are looking to find fault or wrong doing in any way wtih the good things that Michael Parker has done or do can give it up!!!! He would never do anything wrong intentionally or knowingly to demean his personal integrity or the office in which he represents. I have also know Michael for quite some time but not nearly as long as Arroe. If you would really like to get to know the artist Arroe Collins you can visit his website at www.soulbehavior.com, however I'm sure that you are to busy trying to find fault with Michael than to check out something that is good and worthwhile.

My answer to your question "OK" is no; your post is not OK for me. Neither is your lack of apology to the victims of domestic violence you demeaned simply to take a shot for political purpose.

If you believe praising Arroe Collins, acknowledging the pain and suffering of domestic violence victims, and criticizing you for politicizing his gift of hope, is the "low road", I guess I'll stay on the low road. I am just thankful we're not on the same road.

I think equating losing, or winning, an election to the devastation of domestic violence is about as insensitive and demeaning as it gets.

Mr. ccwriter

Once again you have taken the low road, the art work is fantastic and the artist is outstanding, I meant them nothing but praise, but I can`t say the same for the current DA and would like to see him removed.

My attitude comes from dealings with his office and him, not from some idle gossip, so don`t make me a villain.

OK?

I think you are way out of line to politicize a gift to victims of domestic violence.

“May the Sun Rise Over Your Tears” is an obvious effort to offer hope and healing to victims whose lives have been devastated.

Your comment is inappropriate and trivializes the pain and suffering of domestic violence victims everywhere.

I hope Mr. Saunders does not share your callous attitude. I know Michael Parker does not.

Thank you, Arroe Collins, for your gift of hope to those who need it. Your gift is inspiring.

How fitting this art work is, as the current DA is going to need to seek new employment.
