Dallas sniper was sent home from Afghanistan over sexually harassing a female soldier then 'got in touch with bad folks and went all Black Panther'

Micah Johnson killed five officers and wounded seven more on Thursday Johnson, 25, served in the Army Reserve as a private first class from 2009 In May 2014, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier Army sent him home, recommending an 'other than honorable discharge' He was described as a loner who followed black militant groups online They included the African American Defense League and the New Black Panther Party

The Dallas sniper who targeted police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest was sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female soldier - then 'got in touch with bad folks and went all Black Panther,' according to a friend.

Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, who fatally shot five officers and wounded seven more before police killed him with a remote-controlled bomb in early hours of Friday, was described as a loner who followed black militant groups on social media.

The Army sent him stateside, recommending an 'other than honorable discharge,' said Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him.

That recommendation was 'highly unusual,' Bradford said, since counseling is usually ordered before more drastic steps are taken.

'In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself,' Glendening told The Associated Press. 'I'm sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit.'

Glendening said Johnson was set to be removed from the Army in September 2014 because of the incident, but instead got an honorable discharge months later — for reasons he can't understand.

'Someone really screwed up,' he said. 'But to my client's benefit.'

And a friend of Johnson's, who served in the same platoon, told Fox News that after returning from Afghanistan, he fell in with a 'bad folks and went all Black Panther.'

‘Someone really screwed up,’

BS, someone did not want to get into a hassle and “hurt” his future. Probably some lib A hole. So, they denigrate others who actually have honorable discharges and award one to this vermin.

Between this guy and Berdohl, I am beginning to wonder what the hell is going on.

he fell in with a 'bad folks

He was already "bad folks." Otherwise he was what, a choirboy, then bad friends convinced him to whack out some cops?

The liberal left and their illusions. And the more we dig into their hero's lives, the more dirt we find.

I would say that he gets an ‘other than honorable discharge’ from this life as he steps into eternity.

Just out of curiosity I wonder what race the harassed female soldier is?

PFC for five years?

Sounds like he was a screw up. No one wanted to be the one to discharge him?

I guess he asked her out three times instead of two.

If we are to assign blame, it is likely the policies of the Obama administration.

The message that has been sent, emphatically, is to give black offenders a pass.

Who made the decision to give him an honorable discharge? It is not his local unit.

If you have a less than honorable discharge, you do not pass the background check.

With an OTH, he probably cornered her or put her in a situation where he was intimidating or threatening her.

This black racists and cop killer has more in common with Somalia than America.

He shares a lot in cummon with the rape thugs from Somalia that Obama is attacking us with in an attempt to commit cultural genocide on the rest of us.

Wow, the words from his attorney are pretty damning.

“....The Army sent him stateside, recommending an ‘other than honorable discharge,’ said Bradford Glendening, the military lawyer who represented him.

That recommendation was ‘highly unusual,’ Bradford said, since counseling is usually ordered before more drastic steps are taken’

‘In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself,’ Glendening told The Associated Press. ‘I’m sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit.’....”


Someone sure did screw up. That someone needs to explain this screwup.

Called an andros or packbot solution...... a phone is delivered via a bomb squads robot...... the phone is used to hopefully negotiate, yet has a surprise number in store for the bad guy listening to the negotiator if said bad guy has potential to do more harm to others.

His claim of having planted explosives all over downtown was a recipe that dealt him quick death sentence by a precision dose of lead to his medulla oblongata from a police sniper or a quarter pound of C4 in the phones handset.

Cant let the bad guy push the buttons or pull the trigger after he’s established intent, opportunity and capability. Must be put down like the rabid critter he’d proven hisself to be.......

Either way ...... BYEEEEE !

My opinion / experience only. Stay Safe !

Ahh, NBP are just a social group....with a heavy mooselimb foundation

King Samir Shabazz, a former Nation of Islam member and head of the New Black Panther Party’s Philadelphia chapter, has a long history of confrontational racist behavior. He advocated racial separation and made incendiary racial statements while promoting anti-police messages in the media and on the streets of Philadelphia. He publicly announced, “I hate white people. All of them.” He also suggested the killing of white babies.[19][20][21][22][23] Shabazz was arrested in June 2013 for carrying a loaded, unlicensed weapon.[24] The party has claimed his arrest is part of an “onslaught of attacks against the New Black Panther Party.
