“Great Kid” Killed While Committed Home Invasion Pretending To Be Police

16-year-old Hillside High School student Jalen Thompson Johnson was shot and killed early yesterday as he donned a mask, claimed to be a police officer, and tried to kick in the door of a Durham, NC apartment. Unfortunately for Johnston, the homeowner was not only also armed, he was a better shot.

A teen was shot to death while trying to force his way into an apartment in Durham Monday morning, police said. The resident of the apartment was injured in the shooting.

Durham police responded to a report of a shooting at 12:42 a.m. in the 800 block of East Woodcroft Parkway at South Terrace at Auburn Apartments.

Police said that Jalen Thompson Johnson, 16, of Durham, was wearing a mask and was “apparently…attempting to force entry into an occupied apartment.”

Johnson and the man who lived in the home appeared to have exchanged gunfire, according to police. The man in the apartment was shot in the leg and transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

You’d almost be convinced by how WNCN covered the story that Johnson was the victim here, instead of a violent criminal.

The teenager left dead after the gunfire, Jalen Johnson, was a student at Hillside High School in Durham. The school’s principal, Dr. William Logan, said Johnson was a “great kid” and called his death a “loss to our school.”

Word about Johnson’s death spread quickly via social media and the school worked quickly to provide a way for students to grieve.

“Counselors from our team are here to assist the students,” Logan said.

ohnson was such a “great kid” that he committed armed robbery and shot a man during a home invasion while pretending to be a police officer.

The only thing Hillside High School lost when Jalen Johnson died was a criminal threat to the student body.

Fortunately the apartment owner did not fall for Johnson’s ruse and was able to defend himself.

lol. see post 58.

they weren’t killers!! At least not of family :)

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Now home invaders are being oppressed!

I'll take a knee for the "great kid" next I hear the National Anthem. Or maybe, not.

[BBell]

What a D.B she is.

[Theodore R.]

How would the principal even know this youngster?

[hal ogen]

Repeated offenses?

[higgmeister]

Next time I saw him he was in a Navy uniform fresh out of boot camp, soon headed out to be a torpedo man aboard a Sixth Fleet destroyer. That was how the legal system back then dealt with “good boys” (and novice hoodlums like my brother) who’d gotten on the wrong path. That being said, busting into someone’s occupied home armed isn’t teenage hijinx and back then it would have gotten him just as shot as this “yute”.

There was a guy at our high School that got caught with a couple of joints in an overlook up on the mountain above town. He never came back to school and we found out the judge made him join the service.

Eight or nine years later I was a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force stationed in Tampa and my brother was a Captain stationed in Orlando. I was visiting my brother when he was on duty at the CBPO (personnel office) and in walks this classmate of ours. He had reenlisted and was out-processing for a TDY deployment with the 2nd Mobile Communications Group. We only got to talk for a few minutes. Dave was a little jumpy to find that my brother was an officer. That is the best way to turn your life around.

Dr. William Logan, said Johnson was a “great kid” and called his death a “loss to our school.”

Committing armed robbery does not make Johnson any less of a "great kid", if the victim is white. On the other hand, if Johnson showed up for school wearing a "Trump 2016" cap, he would have been denounced by Dr. William Logan as a race-traitor.

Yes; I think most people who pay attention to visual content have noticed that, on the rare occasion I watch a television, I always look for the visual propaganda clues that were so loved and used by the Nazis and Communists.
The other thing you may have noticed is that in any film made since about 1975 that has a black man in the hero role, about 95% out of a 100 the film will have a white woman as the love interest.
Put that shoe on the other foot, and any white male hero role will have about 98% white woman love interest versus 2% black woman love interest.
Propaganda, pure and simple.
But very useful in molding the way weak minded people perceive their world.
If you tell the lie often enough and loud enough, or “subtly” enough, people will begin to see the world any way you want them to.
This technique only works on the weak minded; which is about 90% of the population. People who really pay attention to their environment, and all the survival clues in it, are able to compare a hollywood fairy tale to the real world and see the differences.
When a slick 250K a year addman tells me that green is red and I should ignore my own lying eyes in the real world , at least I can say drop dead, I know what I am looking at.
There was a congress critter that once said “I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEFINE PORNOGRAPHY, BUT I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT”.
Same thing with propaganda; it's hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
If what I said above makes me a racist, so be it, THEN I AM A RACIST.
Because you are a Lady; I won't use the language I normally would to DU and all the other PROG/TRANSI/LIB/DEMOCRAT/SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/SNOWFLAKES out the in unicorn land. They can all GET BENT.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Good. I’m glad to hear that I’m NOT imagining it!

And, ‘Get Bent’ works for me! :)

[Jack Hammer]

Oh, gee - and he was just turning his life around.

Why didn’t the homeowner let himself be robbed...?

[Safetgiver]

No,no. He needed lunch money.

[metmom]

No. Not in the least.

[Safetgiver]

It’s true though. I ambushed a kid, took his book and used it to beat the snot out of a y’ut and take his gun away for a wet job. When I was done, I dropped the gun back on the y’ut and told the kid I was sorry, I lost his bookmark..

[tioga]

Yeah, all “great kids” are out at 1a.m. in ski masks with guns forcefully breaking into apartments.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Yes, many ads now show family “diversity”. I would say that adoption is up and leave it at that.

I do wonder if Colin Krapperneck’s adoptive parents are trying to send him back to his birth parents/mother/dude.

[Secret Agent Man]

That is why there are degrees of difference between actions. And consequences too.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#27 Damn Yankees!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#35. Oh, the “Counselors from our team are here to assist the students”.

If they had been doing their jobs right, they would have “assisted” Jalen earlier so that he might be alive today, not a stiff in the morgue.

Is there anyone in school leadership who knows what the hell they are doing?

[Cecily]

This reminds me of an old George Carlin routine:

George as a news anchor:

“...And here’s a Halloween prank that really backfired. It seems that little Danny Omerta thought it would be great fun to soap up all the windows of all the cars in his block. He soaped up the 7th car and began soaping the 8th not knowing that the owner of the car, Carl Downing, was seated in the car. Carl Downing shot Danny in the head 4 times.”

Danny Omerta and Jalen Thompson both win Darwin Awards.

[TigersEye]

They could assist the kids today in regards to Jalen and bluntly tell them that if they commit an armed home invasion they very well may end up dead and deservedly so.
