A popular Charlotte-area teacher was killed in shootout with a Mexican drug cartel last week in Alamance County, North Carolina, the sheriff's office said during a news conference Wednesday.
Barney Harris, a basketball coach at Union Academy in Monroe, was well-loved and respected, but Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson said, on the side, Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world.
"I can tell you right now, when we are dealing with the Mexican drug cartel, someone is going to die as a result of this," Johnson said.
Police said Harris and his brother-in-law Steven Alexander Stewart, of Wadesboro, went to a mobile home park on Wyatt Road in Green Level in the early morning hours of April 8 to steal money and drugs from a Mexican cartel's stash house.

Harris was involved in the "dangerous and deadly" drug world. Clearly obvious. He knew where they were and what they had. That's not something someone learns from the yellow pages.
How many other murders had he committed? How many other dealers had he robbed?
"Respected." Yeah, maybe in the Hood.

I think pretty highly of myself. Some have mentioned my healthy ego.
But taking on the Cartels? And expecting to get away with it? That is some major league ego. And Premier League level stupid.

Was this ‘teacher’ popular due to his always having drugs and cash for his students?
What a low-life. Thanks for draining the gene pool, Karma!

The strategy worked. Until it didn’t any more.
