Sen. Marc Basnight issued a statement Monday about Sen. R.C. Soles.
Soles, a Tabor City Democrat, is under investigation for a shooting incident in which Soles apparently shot a would-be intruder. Basnight didn't comment on the allegation.
"He has been an outstanding Senator on behalf of the people of this state and as effective and dedicated as I've ever seen for the people he represents in his district," Basnight said.

Re: Basnight comments on Soles
At the very least, Soles is encouraging these trouble makers with the gifts. Perhaps he really is just an oddball who likes to spend lavishly on people who ought to be in prison for both the sake of himself and all of civil society. Perhaps he really can't get it through his skull that giving these hoodlums money isn't reforming them...
From WRAL:
"Soles has had a series of confrontations with former law clients in the past two years, according to The Associated Press. He called for help from local police at least nine times to ward off men who were charged with trespassing."
He's called the cops out to his place NINE times in the past two years and hasn't pressed charges a single time? And most, if not all, of these men are the young 'clients' he's been giving money to?
Either something is very fishy here, or R.C. Soles is... well... stupid. I hate to be so blunt about it, but what else do you call a person who can't learn a lesson from all of these repeated incidents, even when it's a threat to the person's own well-being?
