The poor kid probably just needed money for school cloths.

[hal ogen]

Apparently, the “great kid” identified by the “educator” was a criminal and idiot.

[Parley Baer]

My good story for the day.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, he was turning his life around and about to release his first record to get money for junior college right after he gets his GED. He was a good boy.

This make me wonder sometimes.

I was no angel like many of us in our late teens, early 20s.

But I guess i went a step further and broke into some vending machines for the cash and the bill validator (worth 200 hot). IT was a disgusting thing to do and if it wasn’t 25 years later with NO way to find the original owner, or even remember the gas station it was, I would pay it all back.

What if i got shot doing that? Would I have been called a great kid. I guess I wasn’t and thems would have been the breaks.

Drill could EASILY be mistaken for a gun.

And mom and friends would be saying this exact thing. They would have been wrong at the time.

Great kids dont steal.

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

Yeah, the same way cockroaches are a loss to the school after the exterminator leaves.

[Mr. Jeeves]

He probably was a great kid. But somebody told him Whitey Owed Him.

[PROCON]

He was a “great kid”, just getting his life turned around, this was going to be his very last home invasion before he enrolled in the rapper music academy.

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

"Dr." Logan should cease forthwith to be principal. He is manifestly unfit for the job.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

For those of you playing along at home...I looked. He’s one of 0bama’s sons.

Surprised?

[Paladin2]

If Johnson’s demise was a loss to the school, the school is way below gutter level, on average.

[AppyPappy]

He was going back to school to become an aspiring rapper

[Dad was my hero]

perhaps you’re not aware of it but guns are easier to come by then books for kids - at least according to the current resident in the WH.

[17th Miss Regt]

He was 16. Did he have children yet?

[DJ Taylor]

IMHO, there's much more to this story than we see here.

Just another "Drug Deal Gone Wrong" is my best guess.

[TADSLOS]

Now a posthumous graduate of the School of Hard No Knocks.

[PGR88]

Let me guess - was he an aspiring rapper and hip-hop artist?

[Snickering Hound]

He was a good boy who wuz turnin his life roun.

[Lizavetta]

The principal who said the perp was a "great kid."

“Jalen’’. Boy those Amish come up with some funny names.
