This man was bad news waiting to happen. Talk about being born under a bad sign. I pray that he asked God for forgiveness before he died. Otherwise all he left behind was a legacy of disgust at 201 Poplar and on the corners of Hollywood street. The taped beating he took from a Memphis police officer should have been a turnaround for him. It gave him a chance to straighten out his life. He must have been on drugs or enjoyed what he was doing. Since obviously he didn't quit. Instead it seems to have had the opposite effect on him. He has since been arrested for the same thing as before. All he had to do was be cool for a while, and he would have probably been a millionaire. This is the story I originally wrote. http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-could-have-been-avoided.html

Maybe he enjoyed what he did, who knows for sure.
ReplyDeleteThere are those that prefer the road less traveled and don't want to have a real job. It's not that they prefer to barely get by and like being poor, they just dont want to put forth the effort and realyl work for it. They are looking for the easy buck and wont do anything to better there life.
Thad is already saying his sources tell him that it was the police who killed him....Talk about more trumped up BS and conspiracy theories.....
Is anyone REALLY surprised this happened??? I'm not...
ReplyDeleteTransgendered murder victim mourned at vigil

About 75 people marched through the Cooper-Young neighborhood on a cold Sunday night in memory of Duanna Johnson.
Johnson, 43, died after being shot in the head at Hollywood and Staten in North Memphis last Sunday.
Johnson, a transgendered person originally known as Dwayne Johnson, became well known after she was beaten in February in the booking area at 201 Poplar after an arrest on a prostitution charge.
Memphis Police officers Bridges McRae and James Swain were fired when Johnson’s attorneys released a video of the beating to local media.
Sunday’s 6 p.m. vigil began at the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center and continued down Cooper to First Congregational Church.
After the marchers reached the church, three speakers addressed the gathering.
“I keep encountering people who ask me... how could you mourn her? My only response to that is, how could you not?” said Amy Livingston, one of the organizers of the march. “In Duanna’s memory, we must pursue justice. ... We cannot let this go unresolved.”
