Police say former Texas A&M wide receiver Thomas Johnson has admitted to randomly attacking and killing a man on a Dallas jogging trail. Dallas police Deputy Chief Rob Sherwin says Johnson admitted to killing the jogger with a "large-edged weapon" in a random act of rage on the White Rock Creek Trail early Monday.

Johnson was arrested after calling 911 from a nearby equestrian center. Johnson is being held without bond. Jail records don't list an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

If only we’d elected a black president 6 years ago, enacted affirmative action and doled out $22 trillion dollars in welfare, none of this would’ve happened.

Why put Manziel’s name in the headline? He didn’t kill anybody.

Interesting headline.

What does this story have to do with Johnny Manziel?

Kinda like a story about Bo Bergdahl headlined:

So-and-so’s fellow squad member charged with desertion

What a slimy click-bait headline - Johnny Manziel has NOTHING to do with this story!!! The guy has had enough problems on his own without getting his name dragged into a murder for no good reason!

“roids? or just the “culture”?”

Probably a combination of that and some new street drug.

I used to listen to people brag that they didn’t know what they’d done between x-time and y-time. Then they’d go out the next night and do whatever their pleasure was again. If they were roided up and had “the culture” during those periods they might have been amassing quite a body count.

Abrupt ending to that article.
A little more info on what he’s been doing since 2012 would be nice.

The former football player who could do no wrong at Skyline High School and Texas A&M was
out of football and out of his home. And police say he took out his rage on a jogger he hacked
to death at random Monday morning in northeast Dallas.........

Johnson’s precipitous fall from grace began in 2012, soon after the freshman snagged three
receptions in the Aggies’ stunning upset of the No. 1-ranked University of Alabama.

The former Skyline Raiders star mysteriously vanished days after that big game. He resurfaced
unharmed, but authorities, university officials and his family offered no explanation for his
disappearance. He never played college football again.

My 76 year old aunt was telling me K2 was now big on Staten Island and the city.

I never heard of it. Getting old, lol.

Oxycodone is destroying this area.

Was NEVER supposed to be for anything but cancer. Pharma and FDA said so.

What a miracle how that changed. bet no bribes or payments were involved.

Maybe i’m a little more bleeding heart when it comes to that, but who do the execs who pushed this garbage for any type of pain when it is basically synthetic heroin sleep at night?

Then they made money on the other side making subutex and suboxone to treat the addiction.
