Here are some of the issues that area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their veracity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

Thank God they arrested Mr. Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. I live in Hinesville, I have two teenage sons, and I’m a former security guard. And justice was done.

I live in Hinesville. I drove up to Savannah this morning, and on the way back, I saw a cop on the cell phone driving. That ain’t no way to enforce the laws, when you’re doing the same thing. Show an example — don’t drive and text or talk on a cell phone.

Button Gwinnett, can you please put your honor roll in the newspaper?

Hinesville has grown 3.4 percent since 2010 and 2011. City employees have not received a pay raise for three years. Someone is mismanaging our money.
