Why does PandC insist on posting these stories that portray ne'er do wells as fine upstanding people?
The guy was a "fixture outside the corner grocery, where shoppers could expect a friendly greeting at all hours".
Give me a break.
There are plenty of people who work everyday, give to charities and do a lot of good in the world. Yet when they die it is nothing more than an obit.
I understand that a search is on for the killer and the article does bring that to the public but please spare us the fairy tale "feel good" part.
If anything use it as a lesson to kids of what not to do with their life.

The murders need to be caught and brought to justice (death penalty), but this is most likely NOT just an innocent victim. There are two Corey Logans in the Charleston County database. Both have extensive arrest records which include possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute.

Lets see, 3 guys against 1 and this guy goes over to help and he is wrong????? I wonder if you was ganged up on if you would have wanted some help. No he wasn't someone I would want at my breakfast table, but with his gonads I would sure like to have him watching my back. The city needs to bury him with honors cause he is a hero and with all the gutless folks out there we need more like him, maybe the streets would not be so scary...

Shouldn't there be police constantly patrolling areas like these to prevent such accidents as this. Where were the cops before Corey Logan stepped in to help this guy that was about to get jumped.

It in some..no most case's is probably best not to respond to folks like suec because most likely she is a child, if not she is pretending to be.
Just know this, not everyone like Mr Logan is bad, in fact I know a few just like him who are probably better than most of the people you know and by the tone of you comment it also includes you.

see alot of you do not know Corey, i know him because he is my little brothers father and what most people see is the negative they dont know the positive like how he saved a mans life when he got shot in the arm he took his shirt off and tied it around his arm[and the man is still alive today day] and it upsets me very much to hear the city of charleston talk about him like he was nothing he was a human who had a problem, just like all of us do so think about my little brother who lost a father or think about his grandmother who lost her first born child and watched her child slowly die over the course of eight days, or think about how a 11 year old had to say goodbye to his dad in a hospital bed so you think about that before you judge the situation

First of all, was this Corey Logan either Corey Allen Logan or Corey Antwan Logan? Both of those Corey Logans have extensive criminal records including the possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. IF this Corey Logan is one of THOSE Corey Logans, then he is NOT a good man and we ARE better off without him on the streets. If this is NOT one of those Corey Logans, than my comments do not apply to him. If this is Corey Allen Logan or Corey Antwan Logan, then most likely his going to "talk to three men confronting another man in the parking lot" involved selling drugs, not being a good samaritan.

iboss, you little brother's father was a "fixture outside the corner grocery". Not much of a father figure to begin with, was he? As for him having a problem that you then say "all of us do"... No... I have no such criminal problems. Most of us don't.

Assuming that this is either Corey Allen Logan or Corey Antwan Logan, I agree 100% with suec. Those of you that wish to continue coddling criminals may do so if you wish, but the majority of us are fed up with them and could care less how they go away, as long as they go away.

This is indeed a sad story. Kudos to Mr. Logan for stepping in and giving his own life to save someone else. Many people just stand idly by while things like this happen 1.) out of fear that they may lose their lives, 2.) people have a sick fetish for seeing someone else get the snot beat out of them, or 3.) they just don't care. No matter what Mr. Logan has done in his past, he decided to lay down his fear, fetish, and selfishness to help out a fellow human being.

My condolences go out to the family and you should be proud that he left this world doing something honorable and not due to his drinking or any other negative thing that others may try to negate his good deed with.

Ya'll sure are reading a lot in to this story. Where does it say he helped, or tried to help anyone? It says "He had been in the usual spot a few minutes after midnight on June 28 when he went to talk to three men confronting another man in the parking lot."

He went to "talk" to a group of 4 guys. The word "confronting" probably came from one of the witnesses. More likely, you had 4 guys discussing a drug deal or some other crap and Logan got himself involved. There was no fight. He wasn't watching someone else's back.

He's not a hero. He was a drunk and, most likely, a drug dealer.

Do the murderers need to be brought to justice and hopefully put to death? Yes! Did Logan deserve to be murdered? No! But... Are we better off without Logan on the streets... yes!

Suec, because this is a sad story about an innocent man who got killed while trying to break up a fight. What do you expect the newspaper to say?? The "feel good" part you are referring to is so that he can be remembered as the good person he was. Have you ever been to a funeral? Have you ever heard someone speaking negatively of the dead after they were victims of a horrible crime? This story isn't about glamorizing a person for no reason. This story is about remembering a person as a good friendly person.
What lesson do you suggest we learn here? That breaking up a fight on the street will get you killed?

No, everyone is not pefect nor does anyone deserve to die a horrible death, despite their lifestyle.

Do you drive? And if so, do you drive on any public highway? I am asking this because people use the same argument you used a lot of the time when they are sort of blaming the victim. You know the one in which you say that he knew what kind of area it was but decided to be there anyway? Well, I drive on I-26 everyday and pass by an accident just about everyday; some in which people actually die. I know that with their being other motorists on the roads with me I stand the chance of getting involved in an accident and possibly getting killed myself, but I drive anyway. By your argument, you are sort of saying that I should stay off the roads because I know that there are accidents and I am putting myself in harms way by being there. JMHO!

No, what we have learned is spending most of your adult life hanging out drunk on a street corner and trying to break up fight on the street will get you killed. Maybe if the guy could have done something more productive with his life he would been at work doing something other then hanging out on a street corner at midnight. I would think having all that experince hanging out on downtown street corners he would have know first hand the last thing you do is get involved in someone elses street fight. Call the cops and let them handle it.

my sincere condolences to the family

and I don't give two sh*ts what this guys past or life was, he's a hero in my eyes and many others for trying to help someone in his last healthy moments on this earth

anyone saying otherwise if just so self righteous and self centered that they can't see past their own nose

Pres. Bush and Pres hopeful Obama both drank and did dope at one time, hell Bush was an alky in his past

does that make either of them less worthwhile if they've spent most of their recent years trying to actually help the world be a better place to live BUT had a really shady past??

STFU and show some respect, this guy obviously meant a lot to many people

it's far from the stories you hear of dope dealers shooting and robbing each other like the dumba*s's that killed this brave man

somedays I just wish I could reach out and touch some of you people :/

sorry to any of the family or friends if I offended with my rant but this guy seemed like a real decent man to me, record or not

concerned local - people like you sleep well at night because brave men stay up with very little sleep and watch the streets where no one else wants to walk... you'd be praying for someone to swim with the sharks if they were swimming on your front porch

As I already stated, he did not deserve to be murdered. As I already stated, I hope they catch the murderers and give them the death penalty.

BUT... IF, again, IF, this guy was one of the two I asked about (no one that knows him seems to want to answer that question) than he was NOT a hero. He was a criminal. A drug dealer that ruined the lives of the people (including children) that he sold drugs too. If, again, IF, he is one of those guys, we're better off with him off of the streets. You can disagree with me all you want. I'm tired of the crime. I wasn't there, neither were you, but I'd be willing to bet the heroic story portrayed in the article is inaccurate.

My comments aren't aimed at hurting anyone. They are simply opinions on a website that has comments sections specifically for that purpose... for people to express opinions. You will NEVER hear me talk nicely about a criminal. You can if you want... I won't.

Well see I totally misunderstood this whole thing. I did not know Mr. Logan who had spent much of his life on the same street corner was part of a neighborhood crime watch program and providing a valuable community service. Every street corner should have brave people like this.

I don’t think Pres. Bush and Pres hopeful Obama who both drank and did dope at one time spent much of there life on the same street corner.

And Lovely One, Yea I guess every single time the police are called they always arrive too late. I am sure the police have never arrived in time to stop or prevent something from happening. We need to rely more on people who had spent much of their life on the same street corner to prevent these types of incidents.

I do drive and realize that accidents happen. I did not read in this article that the deceased was a security guard though. I read that he hung out on the steps. I do not think he, or anyone else for that matter, should be beaten to death.
I am well aware of the mob mentality as I watched helplessly as my own brother was beaten up by a dozen or so people in a riot at my Charleston area high school in 1970. It was not my choice to watch such an incident but I was required to be at school.
There are situations that we must do certain things, such as drive, but to choose to hang out in places that have a history of danger is not too bright.
BTW, as I said before I do not think he deserved to die.

I have read many times when someone has been killed that the ppl who post are heartless b/c the deceased is someone's father, brother, son etc. and the deceased family members read the posts. Every time someone dies, one or more of the posters points out the criminal record. I do know that every arrest is not legitimate. However, when you have a rap sheet that could wallpaper a room, at least one of the arrest has merit.

My suggestion to all who read these comments - if you have a relative with an extensive criminal record that gets killed do not read the comments in the P&C

WOW! WTF did I come in. Let's see a man that is known in HIS community. Poeple know him because he was friendly, and they also knew he had an alcohol problem. Hmmmmm let me think! He breaks up a fight and maybe helped someone else from their own demise as well. He may not be American Idol material but he tried to prevent a death from happening so that's good in my book.

You know what's sad though....when the Post and Courier posted the article and video of the man being hit by a car up North and people were standing around watching this horrific accident take place, the majority of you all became lynch mobs on this same post and wondered why no one helped. Something similar happens in our own city and some of you all are like "oh well call the cops, call 911"

Maybe Corey could not stand to look at a group of people beating up another individual. He was known in HIS community so he may have stopped fights before. Maybe in his heart he knew he had better done something or it would have bothered him if something bad happened to the other individual being attacked by a lynch mob. Maybe he felt like he needed to do the right thing because he made some bad choices in his life.

Good or bad, no one deserves to die, unless you are on death row!

About how he was this and that like credella said everone has their skeletons in the closet and everybody does things that they no is wrong. OLU GOD MAY JUDGE and the last time i checked no one on this website is GOD! so anyway the next time you say something negative about Corey think about how his mother had to get a call telling her that her 1ST BORN CHILD was unconsiuos and in a comatose state, How do you think my little brother felt when he saw his dad in the hospital with stiches in his head and his upper body swollen, how do you think my brother felt after he left the hospital sunday two hours after he left his dad passed away. How do you think my mother felt when she had to tell her child that their was no way that his father would live, how do you think Ms.logan felt who is a nurse watched her child slowly die over the course of 8 days? Cory had his faluts but who doesn't i dont care who it is no one deserves to die in that way. And most of the people who are writing negative comments have enough skeletons in the closet to donate bone marrow to every cancer patient in their state! And most people dont know tht Cory saved a life! So when your about to say or think something about Corey think!

Regardless of how or why it went down, he didn't deserve to die like that.

And I have to play devil's advocate for a second...family and friends of victims of violent crimes, if your loved one was involved in criminal activity before they died or died in the midst of criminal activity, please don't come into the comments looking for sympathy. That's why the tributes for the obituaries are for. Everyone is going to have something to say, whether it be nice or not. The best thing that you can do is be there for your family and say "Eff you" to the naysayers. Myself, personally, I feel bad for everyone that was affected by the death of this young man but that's just MY opinion. I may not agree with how (just for the sake of proving my point) Jeff or ColdBeer feels but I wont condemn them for it or call them names.

I maybe but there are bigger ones on here. By the way if I was you I would be asking the P&C who provided all this information that your younger brother's 38 yr old father had been a fixture outside the corner grocery, where shoppers could expect a friendly greeting at all hours. Did he work? Or the information he spent most of his life hanging out on a street corner and had a drinking problem. I am not sure what the purpose was in publishing this information about the man. Whoever provided these statements to the P&C was not making much of an effort to show him in the best of light where they?. Why did Tollerson feel a need to bring up his drinking problem? What relevance did this have to describing the man? Why did the others interviewed feel the need to provide this type of information to the P&C and why did the P&C feel the need to print it. This article could have been written without that unflattering information. Seems the people that knew well and maybe the reporter that included this stuff about him in his article are even bigger azz holes then me. Just a thought…

Lol, don't let ColdBeer get under y'all boi skin... To him, everybody who's ever sold, consumed, carried, touched, smelled, or even SEEN a drug, is invariably a criminal who deserves the harshest penalty of the law! If I were the notorious Fox News, I could just as easily make a criminal out of ColdBeer: his branding of everyone who consumes or HAS consumed drugs to be a criminal, would infer that he also believes Pres. George W. Bush to be a criminal, and by his own definition, one of the most despicable human beings on the face of this earth. Such thoughts coincide with the most radical Middle-Eastern beliefs, and thus tie ColdBeer into the terrorist psyche. Being associated with this mindset, makes him a traitor to our nation, and deducibly guilty of treason, one of the most heinous of crimes! Welcome to the family of everyone else on this earth who is not perfect! :-)

Thanks for straightening out the name Lovely_One. Now we have more facts to look at. It turns out that, at least in Charleston County; this Corey Logan was only arrested once for drugs (possession of crack). The remainder of his arrests are all for minor offenses.

telitlikeitis, I have a cousin that is addicted to some drug, I'm not even sure which one. He has messed up his mind so bad that he sees aliens (not the hispanic kind, the Martian kind). Standing next to him, and knowing that he was truly crazy in the head is the only time in my life that I've been scared. He ended up pulling a gun and firing it into a freezer at a mom and pop grocery store because he thought aliens were inside the freezer. He was just released from prison. I wish he was back in prison. I fear that he will end up killing my aunt or uncle. I have no tolerance for criminals, not even criminals in my own family.

iboss, I agree that this man did not deserve to die this way. I've said that from the beginning. I'm sorry that his mom and son will have to live with the pain of Corey Logan loss.

Thankfully, my daughter now 21 then 20 was lynched by more than 3 men because she pressed charges on someone for attempted rape. She is still alive. She has been traumatized by the incident and did not press charges for fear of retaliation again. Only one person came to her aid out of several bystanders. The person that saved her life could have been lynched as well but he saved another person's life all the same and I am thankful as a mother. My daughter a light-skinned, 5'5", size 2, was lynched and others watched as she was fighting off death. She was and is still not a perfect person. She was a horrible student, she has never held a job, she hangs out on the "bad" side of town, she drinks, she smokes, she is gay, she is a convicted felon, she is black! Does any one of these give permission for some one to do her harm? She is my child!!! and I love her rights despite her wrongs!!!

ColdBeer, being a junkie doesn't make your cousin a criminal (unless you've got stories where he stuck-up the mom and pop store, etc.), it just means he obviously needs help/rehab.

To the Logan Family and Friends, I would like to offer my earnest commiseration in your loss.

I would also propose that you do not let the cynics get under your skin with their opinions of the deceased.

You also have to consider that we have a lot of cowards on this forum who are so quick to put down someone instead of getting all the facts.

The way I see it they are putting Corey down because he did something that they would not have had the BALLS to do…DEFEND SOMEONE ELSE!

Only you and Corey’s family and friends know what he was like regardless of his record or not….

Again Iboss and Mrsboi please accept my sympathy in your loss.

JAMMER….your post was incredible.

Coldbeer,

You are quite welcome. I am sorry, but I am laughing my butt off at the visual I got of your cousin shooting the aliens, MIB style! Watch out Will Smith. Okay, I apologize again. That was totally uncalled for and probably not to be taken so lightly, but the visual I got was funny as heck. I mean no disrespect to you or your cousin.

Geechie, my cousin has had numerous run ins with the law. All of them as a result of his drug use. Discharging a fire arm in the store was the last draw that sent him to prison. It was actually his second trip to prison. He's a criminal.

I knew Corey when I was growing up on Mary Ellen Blvd (THE DRIVE). He had the best looking girlfriend on the whole block and was cool with everyone. For those who say such good things about him, they know the Corey that I know. For those of you who don't know Corey, most likely you are reading a tiny fraction of his life and coming to a total conclusion. However I'm not surprised.....as a black man that's to be expected from people who disassociate themselves from others simply because of race.
Though Corey may have died from the hands of anther black man or men, one can not rule out the racism that plays a part in black peoples way of life in Charleston SC. Poor education equals poor jobs, poor jobs equals poor housing, poor housing produces a poor community in which the only pass time is to hang out on the corner. We as black men should let Corey's death be a sign that we will no longer kill our own brothers and rape our own sisters. We make illegal and legal money so it's time for us to pool our resources together, and create jobs to provide an environment in which we will no longer be our own enemies to bring about our own destruction. If you need a reminder, look at these negative comments about a black man some of these people never even seen before. They won't change so we must change the way we look at each other and the way we treat each other. For any black man who takes the life of another black man, he should be ostracized from our community for he is not better than some of the racist saying these negative things about our brother Corey Logan. R.I.P. from yours truly KID-D

Apparently IF you use the word IF enough times while falsely accusing a dead man of "extensive criminal records" and stating that we are "better off without him", you don't have to apologize when it's revealed that he was actually only arrested for one drug offense and other minor charges.

Coldbeer, if you are a drug dealer, and I'm not saying that you ARE a drug dealer, but you COULD be, then I think you should be arrested.
I mean, people like you, shouldn't walk the streets.
And if you get killed because of your crimes, then I guess this world will just be a better place without you.

That is of course, only if you ARE a CRIMINAL, which I'm not saying you are, I'm just ASSUMING that you may be, with nothing to back it up. Just from your comments, I'm assuming you're a very uptight Republican, so you MUST be up to no good. Therefore, you could be a drug dealer for all I know. I just thought I would let the whole world how I feel about you, and your drug dealing.

Posted by ColdBeer on July 8, 2008 at 4:26 p.m. (Suggest removal)

yeahright, you're correct on his criminal record. I was wrong and I apologize about that.

I still believe that the world is better off without drug dealers though. An yes, farfallaspeaks, if I were a drug dealer, the world would be better off without me.

Lets not forget, my comments did not create the problem here. The problem was created by a life of drugs and alcohol abuse and by whoever took this man's life, for what ever reason. IF I were a drug dealer, I'd still tell you the same thing.

Coldbeer, when it comes to racism it has become the pink elephant in the room no one wants to mention. Racism produces an environment in which brothers become each others enemies. For example, there is a congress man (forgot his name)in South Carolina who recently got 10yrs probation for dealing cocaine. This same state will give a black man 20yrs in prison for the same exact crime.
Now racism also plays a part in the number of jobs available for black people, especially in Charleston. Most of the jobs for the black man in downtown Charleston is that of a cook or Janitor. He is not receiving the millions of dollars that comes into the city each year. Black people in Charleston are left with crumbs while white people are eating the whole cake. All the drugs in Charleston and ONLY the black man is being arrested? the same black man that don't own boats or planes are being arrested for drugs in the low country. The system is designed for the black man to turn on each other and sad to say the system is working. As black men, we MUST take control of our own destiny and wake up instead of sleeping waiting on the Govt. to do for us what we can do for ourselves. show me any group of people that can't find a job, and I'll show you a group that will turn to drugs and turn on each other. This is the type of environment that took another black mans life. However we can't blame racist white people. If they can honor Confederates who got a joy out enslaving, and lynching black people, aint no way in hell we should expect them to lift us out of our physical and mental poverty. This is something the black man must do himself. but first the black man has to recognize the racism that has plague him, his father, his grandfather and even his grandfathers father. until them the black man will continue to be his own enemy.

Awwwwww the poor poor black folk.....Lets see, they have the quota system in place and it has been in place for how many years? They are first chosen for all city, county, and government jobs. And of course we know these jobs have the best retirement, health and benefit packages going. And we know it's who you know on who will get the next job opening. They are given preferencial treatment in most contracts (roadwork, government owned building maintenance etc.) as for only the black DRUG users being arrested are black...what a joke maybe it just seems that way cause all your brothers pictures are in the paper every day and maybe it's because your brother and sisters get caught more often but I have personally seen when a white person is caught with the same amount of drugs he is treated the same. Each case is different, you have to do apples with apples to compare. As for the janitor jobs or cook jobs, some of these pay well and anyone can get a grant and go back to school and get a trade that makes more money. But we know that will not happen in your racist world because like Hussein it's just to easy to throw the race card out huh and see what else you can have handed to you. Get a life and get a grip and pull your pants up and get over your hate and racist views, you will go farther.

what the hell are you all people talking about?
someone got killed. who cares if the victim was black, white, criminal, drug dealer.

this same killer may end up beating the hell out of your white teenage suburban daughter for all you know.

police, do your job and find this killer.

i still think this man who died was a hero for trying to break up a fight. he could have been high on crack, and still seen as a hero in my eyes. i wish more brave men would take a stand against violence with such a brave move.

RIP!

This is so insane. A person was murdered here....What in the world is wrong with you people? Regardless what type of history this man had he did not deserve to die. No one and I mean no one has the right to take another person's life except in self defense. The issue at hand is not his criminal history, it is the fact that a human being was beaten to death. The sad thing is that their was more than one person who's life was affected by this sence less, cowardly murder. What about the loved one's left behind? What about the children of the killers? Can you imagine having to live with the fact that your fater is a murder? I feel sorry for all of the families involved. One more thing,they will get theirs when they go to prison...At least we can hope.

Ok let’s set the record straight. I did not come on here and formed an opinion or jump to conclusion that this man was a drunk that hung on a street corner in front of a grocery store. People who knew him well freely gave these statements to the P&C. The best comments these acquaintances could come up with to honor him was the fact that he had a drinking problem, spent most of his life hanging out on the street corner in front of a grocery store most of the time. My fight would with the people that provided this info to the reporter and not with the people who read this article and formed a natural opinion base on the information obtained from people that knew him well. These people made no mention of anything else this man may have done with his life. Why didn’t the man’s family get involved with the reporter and make known that this man’s life was more then a man with a drinking problem who spent most of his life hanging out on the street corner in front of a grocery store most of the time. I made no mention of any criminal history he may or may not have had. I alluded to that he deserved to die. I only said he should have not got involved in this situation and it would have best if the police was called to handle this and asked why people who knew him well would make these type of statements about him and why did the P&C feel the need to make them public.

I know some people that would steal your last dime and I know some people that would give you their last dime. Drugs are a problem for both groups.
Drugs are a big problem in the entire world. We fill out prisons with people that get caught up in the underworld of drugs and it cost us money to keep them locked up all the while the person that we sent to prison has 10 people waiting in line to take his place. I am not the brightest person in the world but I can see that what we are doing now just does not solve the problem. Make drugs legal, control them, tax them, but the revolving door system we have in place just does not work.
I realize that by living in South Carolina means that if they did make drugs legal, so they could control them, this would be the last state to get on the band wagon.
We have to put thugs into prison, not people with a drug problem.
Some people just need a little hope to get a monkey off their back and live a clean life.
May Corey Logan rest in peace.

Coldbeer i want you and everybody else to read this message. Coldbeer i am going to pray for you because you are thriving off my family's grief and i feel that is very vile and unhuman. you need to sit back and analyze your life. Because something obviously is wrong in your life for you to thrive and attack a mans chracter who was murdered he spared his life for another. It doesn't what he did or was and for your information he was employed in that same lot selling seafood. And was just getting off of work, and lent a helping hand when he saw someone who needed help so think about that before you on this website and bash a honorable man, Or think of it like this if you were getting ganged on wouldn't you want someone to stand up for you and save your life? don't feel like because you think your'e "an upstanding citizen" that a the same situation can happen to you?

iboss, if you insist on praying for me, pray for cheaper gas, colder beer and better fishing. I’m not interested in anything else your god might have to offer.

And no, the same situation can not happen to me. I don't habitually hang out in front of stores in the middle of the night in that neighborhood.

And no, I'm not thriving on your family's loss. I'm just not going to sugar coat it either.

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of the victim, especially his son. It's never easy to lose someone unexpectedly.

For those of you who want to judge and comment on his criminal background, who do you think you are? Do you think you are better than him? So what if he was charged with possession of cocaine, that alone does not make him a bad person. Drugs and alcohol addictions alter the minds of these people and that in no way makes it okay that he was beaten to death by some loser thugs.

So he hangs out at a grocery store, bid deal. It's not like he was sitting there creating a problem or the owners of the store would have called the police on him and had him removed from the premises.

Step off your high horses and bash the bastards that took this man's life instead of preaching about what he shouldn't have done in his life.

It's such a shame that you all are so perfect.
