Don Mancil

A | A | A

COLBERT, Okla. -- A Lousiana man facing second degree murder charges stemming from a fight last Friday that left another Louisiana man dead has bonded out of the Bryan County Jail.

Murder charges were signed Monday, and bond was set at $250,000 by the Bryan County District Attorney against 43-year-old Don Mancil of Louisiana.

Authorities say Mancil, a Louisiana resident, was initially booked into the Bryan County Jail on manslaughter charges, but those charges were later upgraded to second degree murder.

Mancil is accused of beating fellow Louisiana resident, 48-year-old Charles Thomas Randal to death at the former KOA Kampgrounds on Sherrard Street in Colbert, after the two got into a fight the night of October 3.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation officials tell us the two men have known each other for years and were in Oklahoma working on a pipeline. They say the fight was reportedly over a woman.

Randal later died from his injuries at a local hospital.

If convicted of second degree murder, Mancil could face 10 years to life in prison.

A preliminary hearing conference has been set for October 29.

Actually I could care less what anyone on ten mile does especially the mancil's, i happen to have to pass that way twice a day to and from work.

Posted by: Lost in Ten Mile Location: Louisiana on Nov 1, 2008 at 01:22 AM
To Internet reader I am not as lost as you think It maybe you who is lost and can not find you way because you are the one running down the road looking to see if Don is on his front porch not me I am at home where I belong not looking for Don? Thank You very much

Posted by: What Does God Say? Location: Louisiana on Oct 31, 2008 at 05:35 PM
John 8:7.. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. If you are totally without sin, I will help you pick up the stone.. but if not.. you'd better heed the word of God. There has been a grave sin commited here, but God sees and knows, and He's the judge.We are to pray for the lost, and I'd imagine Don Mancil feels pretty lost about now. And.. may God bless and give strength to Mr. Johnson's family for their loss. God is an awesome God.

To A Wonderer. If Sissy has to get on the stand she will tell the truth. I know her all my life. You know people make mistakes in there lifes she has, I have, you all have, but that dont mean you are a bad and evil person this shows you or human. There are bad people in this world we all know that.This stupid acted has effected alot of peoples life and families the Johnsons and there friends, the Mancils and there friends, its like the wars in this world are never going to end. (PRAY FOR THE END IS ALL WE CAN DO)

Posted by: A wonderer Location: Earth on Oct 29, 2008 at 08:32 PM
Sissy, hope you come forward and tell the truth. Hopefully you've been called to testify. And we pray that you tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And as far as the boy's are concerned (3), they need a lie detector test. This set back of court, Says something., and that hopefully means that they are setting out for a full blown investigation. Rut Roh! Hopefully the investigators have been reading "heresay". There a lot of stuff they need to look into, especially with the workers. There's more than just one involved. But, guess Don will protect his own, huh?

WHAT? Are you kidding me right now..... can you actually kill an innocent person out of state and then get out, leave the state, go home and not answer to what you have done?????? I don't understand.....

Ok Don, I know you read these posting. Here's your chance to make that change in your life. No matter what happens, God will forgive you. But man usually won't. Some things we just have to step up to the plate and take our punishment while here on this earth. Just keep one thought in the back of your mind. You told me long ago. "If God can change Dwayne, I guess there is still "HOPE" for people like me." Do you remember that? I don't know all the fact and don't really care. You HAVE to turn your life around!!!!!! You know how to get in touch with me. If you need to, call me. All I can offer you is some Godly advice.

Posted by: Praying for Justice Location: Ward 6 on Oct 28, 2008 at 09:01 AM
Calling all prayer warriors, please bind in prayer with us that justice will be served tomorrow. Matthew 18: 20, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." No, we can't all be in OK tomorrow, but, we can be in spirit, praying for God's will to be done. May tomorrow give the Johnson family some sort of peace. No, it won't bring Randal back, but, a peace, knowing that the killer of their loved one, is getting what he deserves and that is justice. To Randal's family: you will have a lot of people praying for you tomorrow. May you feel our prayers and have the strength to make it through this horrible nightmare.

Posted by: Lost in Ten Mile Location: Louisiana on Oct 27, 2008 at 07:26 PM
It was told to me that Don will be at the Preliminary he has been knowing that when goes back up to Ok. that will be put in prison for what he has done so there you have it.

Time is drawing near for the preliminary hearing set this week. Does anyone know if Mancil is going to appear or has he skipped the country?

Posted by: Angela Location: louisiana on Oct 23, 2008 at 04:43 PM
he is know different than any other man he should be punshed just like all people to go against gods wishs and take another persons life he should set trial and do as others but what i don;t understand why did he leave the state of okla.or how could he leave the state but i;m sure he will be brought to justus and i hope and pray he is no matter how big or how much money you have

Posted by: Concerned Location: Doesn't Matter on Oct 23, 2008 at 03:13 PM
Six more days until the preliminary hearing. Please everyone who was closed to Randal remember to pray that God will be present and justice will be done.

My prayers are with all involved.All the families involved are hurting.My prayers are especially with the Johnson family.They suffer a terrible loss that will never be justified.No one will ever know the real truth because Randall is not here to tell us his side.But a word of advise his family,hold on to every thing you know to be true about him.His love for his chilren, his kindness to other people,his love for family and friends.You all know the real truth that matters at this very moment.Hold on tight to those truths and let all others go.May god send plenty of peace and love from other around you to help heal your hearts.I pray in time you can forgive and move forward with your lives as this tragedy should not define who Randal was.He WAS RANDAL JOHNSON not just the man Don killed.I also pray for Don and Sissy because if there's no healing there then all of this will be for naught.I pray Randals death will show others there's another way besides destroying everyone involved.

Happy Birthday Randal! We love you Nannett. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. The Lord has plans for Randal. Maybe its to open up others eyes in all of this crazyness. It's still so hard to believe all this has happened. Gods arms are wrapped tightly around you (Nannett),Frankie, and also with his Father, Mother, and his girls. He will give us the answers we need. May we all band together on the 29th of Oct. for prayer. For that day will start a healing. Sincerely, Your friend

At least Sissy's mother still has her. That is more than I can say for my family. We could not tell our love one bye.

Posted by: For Her Mother Location: Louisiana on Oct 20, 2008 at 03:18 PM
Sissy's Mother will have nothing to do with this so I'm doing it for her. Sissy has a family too, and do you people think they aren't hurting too. We all cannot express in words our sympathy for Mr. Johnson and their entire family. But, this woman is a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin and granddaughter, besides being Don's wife. All of her family are suffering through this as well as the ones of you who are hurting for such a senseless act. May God have mercy on your souls.

Today would have been Randal's 48th birthday. Everyone who knew him and loved him, please take a moment of prayer for him and his family.

Posted by: daughter Location: louisiana on Oct 19, 2008 at 08:14 PM
I just found out about this website and all of its comments. It took me a couple of days to get myself together to write. First off I would like to say how hurt I am that people are saying a whole lot of stuff about a situation they know nothing about. I am one of Randal's daughters and I do not even know the truth and neither does anyone else. The only thing that I do know is that my children are never going to get the chance to know there grandfather. Second I am hurt that this news station is allowing this blog to even exist. There are a bunch of bad things being said about my dad. I just feel like he has paid enough for what he may or may not have done with his life. Now Don should have to pay. As for anyone else who may have been involved they will pay one day too. Lastly I pray that I can one day be left with the good memories of my father and not the trash being said about him by people who do not even know him or the truth.

A family is a special gift . U can have more than one chance at a good life. If U are not happy. Things in your family can't not be worked out (even if U love that person with every thing in U)U can still get your self out of a relationship that is hurtful, phyiscal or mental abusive. An affair is only one of u. I have come to know only U make the decision for your self and how your life will end. U can not change some one to be who U want them to be. No matter what U try to accomplish. U are wanting some thing only for your self. It is best to let them go and love them for what they are. I wanted to share this with every one here. Hopefully,someone who is living in this same way, will use their head and simply move on with their life. An chose to make a good life for them self. Instead of taking a life over some one who still will not love U no more than yesterday. Jealousy is within ones self. Let it go. Humans all hurt by love.U fell love not force it!

My husband's pipeliner.He's worked with both of these men @ has known them all his life.This tragedy has split communities in two.A few things I want yall to know.First this isn't typical behavior from all pipeliners.There's good and bad people all over.For ppl to say that it's because they are pipeliners or because they are "back woods,cajun,hillbilly,or redneck" has nothing to do with it.Second every one who thinks that all that were around and did nothing are just as responsible please leave your name and a way to contact you.All of your negative blame pointing is doing nothing more than fuel the fires of these families and friends who are hurting.When someone else gets hurt because of all your fanning we want reach u so u can be charged also.We need to be respectful of all the families involved.They all have to deal with their own family members part in this.None were totally innocent.Lots of unknown facts.Support @ prayers are needed now.Not hate causing more pain.

As I was saying, Maybe you should try church, God, and the whole religion thing. It's amazing what an Almighty God we have. and as someone has already quoted. Straight from the Bible. "Let he who has no sin cast the first stone." Think about it people...if you actually know God...would you act like this? Would you talk like this? Another verse from the Bible states..I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. So, how much fruit have you bore lately? What's it gonna take for you to see the light? Time is drawing near for each and every one of us. Randal's time has already come to pass. When will my time come? Or the question that you should be asking yourselves is When will my time come? and Will I be ready? Are you ready? If you had to stand before God on this very night, How would you explain yourself to HIM? May God have mercy on your souls and may you all find HIM before it is to late!

I can't believe the hateful things that are being said about this tragedy. I know these people they were good people and a good man died over anger and jealousy. Don will pay because God is a just and honest God, but he's not the only one that will pay. The Johnson family has already paid the worst imaginable price, the lose of a loved one. It is a grief that they will carry for the rest of their lives.. The Mancil family will pay also, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Cousins, In-Laws, and Children will pay for this crime the rest of there lives.. My prayers are with both families, and ppl remember those without sin, cast the first stone... instead of ripping these ppl apart, pray for them, only prayers can help now... not words!!!

My HEART goes out to The Johnson Family. My Heart goes out to the Innocent people of the world that has to take the blame for other people's crime. My Heart goes out to GOD also because when it is time to go before him he is going to be one mixed up person!!!!! But like they said what goes around comes around for people like Don he has to live with what he did.

Posted by: Lost in Ten Mile Location: Louisiana on Oct 16, 2008 at 10:51 PM
What I have yet to understand is why is people on here telling that Sissy and her kids need to pay for what Don Mancil did to Mr. Johnson. YES Don needs to pay for what he did yes but why laid blame of the others. The problem is that yall from La. Or most of you people has been friends with both familys most all yalls life. One goes real bad and yall condemed the whole family. I can bet half of you people talk to them evertime yall see them and now yall knife them in the back Don ( Yes) because he is wrong for what he did. I have never seen so many back stabbing people in all my life? Thank the good LORD my kids and husband and I do not have troble with the Law. When my husband and I travel and in another state the ask where I am from I tell them GOD COUNTRY. I was born and raised here on ten mile and I love the country always have and people here has always pulled together to help others. Don should pay BIG TIME but not the hold family. If the shoe is on the other foot THINK ABOUT IT.

I worked the pipeline with both these men. A lot of people have said stuff on here that really shouldn't have been said. Have any of you thought about the fact that the Mancil family may read some of these comments? They did nothing wrong. I'm talking about his brothers and sister, nieces and nephews. The ones that have tried to keep the Mancil family from being destroyed. You talk about how good a man Randal was but what if the shoe was on the other foot and Don had been killed by Randal. Would you all be on here praising Don and talking about how good a man he was? None of you know what really happened. But your all real quick to jump on here and voice your opinions and act like you know what happened. I'm sure Don is not sitting at home having a party. The man will have to live the rest of his life knowing that what started out as a fight ended a mans life.

However, this is a public website and I have every right to say whatever I feel, just as you have every right to call me names and such. If you want, you could always sart your own website and dedicate that to your friend. Until then, I still say half of you people can't spell better than a 5th grader!

Until any of you are faced with this problem you have no idea what to say or do... Hopefully, none of you will. This is terrible. Its not about spelling or what you may think is right or wrong. This man killed someone. Took a life that can never be replaced. Both of these men are going to miss out on so many things that this world has to offer. SO to the ones that stuck on rehasing the way a person spells or the incorrect grammer being used. GET OVER IT. This is something bigger and greater than you can ever imagine... If you were so perfect then why do you concern yourself with what goes on here...

To: Pathetic Leroy - why don't you just not blog on this site and move on to something else? Evidently you don't have anything better to do than to say hurtful things. Most of the people from Ten Mile and Southwest Louisiana that are writing on this blog are family and friends of Randal. This has been a terrible thing to happen to him and his family is grieving for him. I hope you never have to experience what we are feeling. Randal was not a violent man. He was a loving and good hearted man. Maybe your name: Pathetic Leroy - fits. I will pray for you and everyone else out there that are making stupid and hurtful remarks.

I am really ashamed of some of the comments some of our locals have beeing saying about the people of ten mile. They talk like everyone there is messed up. You know what they aren't telling you is just how messed up a lot of the people are around here. They think it will make them feel better if they talk trash about another community and maybe theres wont look so bad. You wouldn't believe the things I could tell you about some of the locals including the local law enforcement. People just love to judge others and cast the stone the other way so they feel better about themselves. Yes this guy who killed him and his family apparently don't have a full deck but that doesn't mean all the rest of the people in 10 mile are the same. Shame on you people. God will deal with you someday. My prayers to the family, friends, and the community of 10 mile.

My Memory; Big Head helped us moved two days before Christmas. He came out from nowhere, and jumped right in, brought his flat bed, and started helping. Thats the kind of person he was. What did he do for you? Honor Randal on this podeum. Show the heart and consideration of others that he had on here. This is not about tenmile,Drug Heads, hillbillies, etc. Hopefully the jury and judge will bring justice in Time. But for now, lets show the ignorant people out there, that Randal was no part of all this. He worked hard, he loved life, he loved his fam. That up there was his job, not his life, or life style. We all know the kind of man randal was and what good he did for people, so put it down. What is your memory?

Lets show exactly what kind of man Randal was. I've heard several stories about how big his heart was to others. And he didn't brag about it either. One of my many memory's; Randal came by the house and seen we were moving. I was in bed for medical reasons(Preg.) and he drove up with a flat bed and started helping with the heavy stuff. He made about 3 trips. He came out from no where, and just jumped right in and started helping my husband. Thats what kind of person Randal was. Lets use this podeum to honor "Big Head", (Randal). This is not about tenmile, drugs, hillbillies, etc. Nothing will never bring Randal back. Hopefully the judge and jury will do the right thing in time. Lets put it on here exactly who he was. Sincerely, Nitz, Please keep praying!

MAYBE THE SPELLING IS BAD,MAYBE YOU THINK WE DUMG BUT,FORGET ALL THAT AND REMEMBER A GOOD MAN IS DEAD,A MOTHER AND FATHER HAVE LOST A SON TWO GIRLS HAVE LOST A FATHER AND A WOMAN HAS LOST HER MATE. NOT COUNTING THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HE TOUCHED IN HIS LIFETIME.NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO DON OR SISSY--THEY WILL BE JUDGED ONE DAY WITH A ONE MAN JURY.

To literate: How can you judge someone you don't even know? How dare you say "good riddance" to a man that was murdered! You are showing your I.Q. by spouting words of ignorance about something you know nothing about! By the way, uneducated and dope heads do not have a hyphen!!!

Actually literate please don't label all of us in a bundle. I guess we have like most places some that just can't do right no matter what they do there is always gonna be drama and mayhem around them. You know you will hear 100 different stories about what happen and what didn't happen but I do know this there is alot of upset people in my community and that is what we are is a community because Don was released. People don't understand how you can beat someone so bad that there is a closed casket because of the shape of the body and he is able to not only get out of jail but leave the state of OK and come back to Louisiana where he and his wife are living in the same house. Every pear that you pick isnt perfect but you can't judge them all by one that falls off the tree rotten.

Sounds like those people down there in La. named their town for the distance you have to travel out of town to find someone that can spell. Why don't you inbreeds just keep your un-educated dope-heads down there. We don't need your kind in this area. Hell. We'd be better off having a bunch of illegal aliens laying the pipeline. At least they're smarter. Why don't y'all just do the rest of the country a favor and have yourselves an old fashioned feud, and kill each other off in your own backyards. You won't be missed, and the IQ of your state will increase. As a matter of fact, it has probably already doubled with those two gone. Good riddance!

Posted by: cajunqueen Location: louisiana on Oct 13, 2008 at 01:55 PM
I think the people who didnt warn Randall about Don's actions should be charged the same as he was. This murder should have never happened. I think Don needs to get on here and tell us how u can just lose it when your beating life out of a human by crushing his skull and jumping on his chest cavity. I dont think he should have been let out of jail what is that saying to his children and other children in the community. I sure wouldnt want you around my children. I think those children should seek some couseling, why arent those children in school? I think those children should be turned over to the social service, turancy officer,something to help those children. Don and Sissy is not a positive thing in their life. Teaching them to grow up and be just like them. The cycle has to stop somewhere just like child abuse, drug abuse, domestic violence, it all has to end. SO think about that and try to be something positive. As far as Randall's children my heart goes out to u and your family.

Posted by: Concerned Location: Not Important on Oct 13, 2008 at 11:52 AM
I have been reading all of these comments and I just have to say on behalf of Randal's children, thank you to all of you that knew the kind of man Randal was. Thank you for voicing that. Randal was an educated man and a hard worker. He did not have a criminal record and did not take drugs. It was very difficult for his children to attend his funeral and not be able to have closure due to the closed casket and unanswered questions they have. They couldn't even view him and say goodbye because he was unrecognizable. It is a terrible loss for many people. My question is "Why didn't someone warn him that Don was going to do this?" Couldn't someone have prevented this? Why didn't someone help him instead of watching him be beat to death? Shame on all of you that could have prevented this terrible tradegy.

Posted by: pappy Location: tenmile on Oct 13, 2008 at 08:22 AM
just to let a few people know, don's family got him out, not me. i just called to make sure the man was ok and had supplies. the people of this community need to realize that talking about people is just as bad as doing what you say they are doing in gods eyes. prayer is not only need for the two families but the entire community. my wife and i have been in arkansas and missouri on vacation. it is a shame when you cant even go on vacation without being slandered for untruthfulness. slander is what people want to be charged with making false statements especially calling me a drug buddy, as for social security i have not received a penny. please get your facts right before you put things onlinek, or is this why you wouldn't put your real name?

to Anonymous in Louisiana- are you related to this clown or what? Or are you Sissy in disguise? Either way, you need to lay off the moonshine a bit- it's clouding your judgement. Your good buddy stands accused of murder, and the piece of yard goods he killed his former friend over is no less guilty. All the makings of a Jerry Springer episode. Deal with it.

don is staying at his trailer in ten mile several people has seen him i thought you could not leave the state when you bond out maybe somebody should call the police in ok.

Posted by: A bud Location: don't matter on Oct 11, 2008 at 11:07 PM
This is still so unbelievable. A person (he ain't no man), commits 1st degree murder. Yes, premeditated, cause he said all wk. long about getting Randal, then stays in Jail not quiet a wk, then he gets out......UNBELIEVABLE! What a judicial system we have here in the USA. Hopefully he will do us all a favor; End it!!!! She followed him back from Ok., long enough to get all of her litter together, and now is riding and hiding out from him, with the pups. Are you feeling like a responsible Parent and protecting your children from a cold blooded killer. Seems like your son had a little more responsibility when he hit on his dad trying to get him off. But where was all the rest of the group. Think that he will show up the 29th? I doubt it. Hey! He might go hunting and get lost., Yeah, and never be found again. Missing in the bay! May God have mercy on your SOUL.

You people really need to grow up, shut up and get your facts straight. I mean all you church going good people with no skeletons in your closets. Please!!! You can sit there and judge all you want. You don't know what was really going on. The only smart thing that has been said is that Sissy should have to pay too. I hope she has to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life.

Posted by: Ward 6 fella Location: Ward 6 on Oct 11, 2008 at 07:20 PM
Keep him in Ok please! Give him the max.Ward 6 espcially Ten Mile does not want him.( Well maybe Pappy does)He Murdered an innocent man. Randal was a real man, unlike Don.SRB I can't see a broken jaw or pain on his face.Just a pill popping,dope pushing, mooching Murderer. What is a little blood compared to a closed casket. Randal did NOT want Sissy. Sissy and Don were perfect for each other.Like soul mates you might say, who had a little family just like themselves. Shame on the ones whose words fed this tragedy. Your hands will never be clean.Your names will be known.If law enforcement had done their jobs in La. this could have all prevented. They would have already been locked up .How many times has that happened.For Don's brothers and sister this must be very hard,this is not something they would ever have done. For Randal's Nanette his Mom, Dad & family their loss is forever.A BULLY trying to make the other guys think he was a real man. He failed miserably & a good & REAL man died

Posted by: OCTOBER Location: LOUISIANA on Oct 11, 2008 at 05:53 PM
Seems to me this way, If he is on his way to tenmile, lord help us if he stayed in ok lord help them...do I think he should stay up there yes,,,the truth will come out you say? how there is one major voice in this that can't speak...so looks like it will be one sided if you ask me...maybe don and sissy will do away with each other or maybe they will make up ...as far as i care well i will really don't as long as they don't cause trouble and mind their own business...oh wait they can't do that either...does don think mr charley is gonna let him walk the streets after killing his son i would think not...ok maybe I shouldnt think huh....

Wow! Somtimes I miss home , but after all of these emails from some of you Louisianians I remember why I left to be a Marine. If you look back at history you will find that the area that these folks are from was named "NO Mans Land". It really has not changed from one-hundred years ago. There is no economy and the Rapides Parish School Boeard could really care less about Plainview High which is the school that I and all of the people involved in this situation attended. What disturbs me is most of my family still lives in the area and have to deal with all of these idiots from day to day. I was not there to make any judgement on the murder. The federal and state law enforcement really needs to crack down on this area. With all of the prejudice and drugs in Ten Mile, Plainview and Rapides Parish as as whole this type if ignorance will continue to go on. So to all of you from the area who read this take a good look at yourself and the young people you influence and make a change.

Well, What do you know, the Dope Heads stick together. Pappy Friday has took his poor diability social security backtime and bailed Don out. That is disgusting. I wonder can Don come back home or does he have to stay in Oklahoma. I would not have put up .5 cents to help him get out. Maybe he'll leave and hide out somewhere and miss palimenary hearing oct.29th and Pappy will lose his money. That will serve him right. It just goes to show you that

If he loves his family so much why is he allowing his kid to be over there out of school working. Don and Sissy are fine parents of three kids, who none have a diploma or GED, but they do have a police record. That is a sad situation. This whole situation is to familiar for Don and Sissy, its just the first time that it went this far. As far as those who watched (Sissy,Justin,and Trey)should have to serve some time. Randal was a fine man who did not approve of mistreating a woman and didn't mind commenting on how he felt about it. So if that is harrassment or pushing to Don then so be it. I pray for all who is involved, especially Randal's loved ones.

PPl's please quit referring to this being over a woman. Don't give her the glory of someone fighting over her. She was a co-worker, and nothing else,,,,"You hear", NOTTA !!! They all rode to and from work together, rather it was two, three or four riding, "THEY ALL RODE TOGETHER",. She worked with Randal, duh? Poor Randal had to probably listen to all their problems from her and their marital problems, and got caught in the middle. Thats all it was and will ever be, him listening and knowing him telling her what he thought. "Period". Our good friend was buried today, it was a great funeral that really honored him, and the type of person he really was, and not what "white trash", is trying to put out on the streets.

In reference to bill...I live in the community in which this man lives and he is not a good man. Of course your a good man when ur buddies are the ones tellin you that you are a good man and those buddies are the ones doing the drugs and drinking with ya! As you probally know that everyone has skeletons in their closet but this family has had more run in with the law than most family does. If they would have been adquate parents and disciplined their kids and tried to live right and do right maybe thing maybe none of this nonsense would have happened. He and his wife and children has had plenty of run ins with the law. If they were so great of a family then why would they have to stay in trouble? As the old sayings go YOU LAY DOWN WITH DOGS EXPECT TO GET UP WITH FLEAS.... AND YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE WITH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP.... SO IN CLOSING ALL THE PEOPLE WHO THINKS THIS MAN IS SO GREAT YOU MUST BE ONE OF HIS DRUG BUDDIES. ALL I CAN SAY TO THAT YOU GET WHAT U GET WHEN U DO THE CRIME!!!!!

I really hope that the people at KOA are reading these comments and kick the rest of the lot out of our area!!! We have enough druggies and idiots around here of our own. In fact I might just have to give them a call and tell them to get on this site. These people actually tested people and bragged! The bible says that shall not kill. Not it's okay to kill if your wife cheats. No one cheating is worth taking someone elses life for. I pray for your community because it needs it. I pray for the family and friends of this poor soul. To the murderer you will have to account for your sins before god someday. I pray that everyone involved will find peace with god.

We will never know the truth about how it all went down, who all helped, and whom didn't help! But we do know the truth that Randal was an innocent man of all rumors flying around. (trash talk) !! And for the guilty ones that didn't even come and help put him on the stretcher,. Why? Why? Thanks Tony & wife for being there. Mob Trash will always stick together. One thing; What comes around always, always goes around triple foe. If you don't confess and tell the truth, it will always haunt you for the rest of your life. The boss should have had control on and off the job site, knowing the past of Mancil and his whole fam. He should have moved one of the employee's to another job somewhere. With drugs, etc. you never know what will happen. For the Johnson Fam., sincere regards to you and your fam., and to Nannett, all that matters is that he loved you with all his heart and soul, and your memory's together is all your need to hear and remember.

iam a life long resident of ten mile louisiana i have known both familys all of my life as for the don mancil family don has been in trouble since a high school student running from the law and with drugs but he always had his parents to get him out of it. everyone in the community knows this family as a bad one. as for sissy how many time has the law been after you maybe they need to check your record as for lacy how many times have you been hiding in your house from the law and for the boys how many times have yall been in trouble for underage drinking and drugs. I THINK IT IS SICK OF YOU BOYS TO SEND TEXT TO PEOPLE BRAGGING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DADDY KILLING AN INNOCENT WORKING MAN. you are up there b/c your daddy cannot do anything with you. I think one of your parents should be at home with you kids. as for dons sentence the death penalty would not be enough i would also like to watch. for the johnson family my heart goes out to you for a terrible loss of a loved one.

I want to know did the police get the instrument he used. Now, its been told, but take in consideration that 3 stories were told the min. they arrived. And now more and more guys up also saying he did use a pipe. Thats a cowards way. Any man that would beat on his wife, is a woos, that can't face a man to fight. He's got to hit him blind side or when he turned his back. I would hope and pray that all will tell the truth. If your scared? Why? He can't hurt you now. Thanks for the boys that tryed to help pull him off. Guilt for the ones that stayed in their trailors for knowing what was going to happen all wk. before from Don telling he was going to get him. Yall should have reported
