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.

Probably watched too much Breaking Bad and thought cartels were incompetent enough that he could rob them.
Make no mistake, I’d rather go out in a fire fight against them than let myself be captured and be an experiment to torture.
All Love and No Fear.
Yeah. About that....
That would make a nice epitaph on his tombstone.
Stupid on Steroids
If that is an authentic tweet by the school, whoever in the school who authorized it should be fired. To ask kids and parents to honor a murdering drug dealer? Oh wait… That only happens if praising a white person.
Many men who are bored and have a mid-life crisis buy a sports car instead.
Yup....I knew it
Actions have consequences. Hopefully he wasn’t selling and sharing this lifestyle with his students. Good riddance to him,

The day after Harris died, his school posted a statement on social media that it has since taken down.
“The UA community is mourning the unexpected loss of teacher and coach Barney Harris,” the school posted. ”UA students, staff, and families are asked to wear UA Spirit Wear on Monday, April 12, to celebrate the life of Coach Barney Harris whose motto ‘All Love...No Fear’ will be forever a part of who we are as a school.”
Teacher been schooled.
Nobody retires from the gangster life style.
Nobody gets out alive the last line in the gangster manual.
Be sure to thank Bush League Republicans like Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio for their efforts to keep the borders open.

“Stupid on Steroids”
Stupid on crack. He was jus’ trying to refill his prescription.
I guess we can cancel his renewal courses he was going to take this summer for his teaching certificate.
It looks as if the school system sets the bar pretty high when hiring teachers and coaches. /s
Lemme’ guess, he was a Didndunuffin?
I remember when teachers were respected and admired members of the community...back before the 1964 Civil Rights Act forced communities to hire any POS to teach.
Is UA a private or a charter or what ?
