A home invading 16-year-old punk  Jalen Thompson Johnson, who sometimes attended high school as a sophomore, got shot dead in his chosen career path early Monday morning.

Jalen Johnson… “A great kid”.

Shouting “POLICE!” and holding a pistol, he kicked in the front door of an apartment, where he was met by the resident who had armed himself at the commotion.   The two traded shots and Jalen’s marksmanship deteriorated as he soaked up a few hot lead supplements.

The truly appalling aspect of the story lies in statements from the thug’s principal, who called him a “great kid” and that it was “certainly a loss to our school”.  The principal also extended his best not to the punk’s victims, but to the thug’s family.

If this principal can’t manage a better job at character assessment, then perhaps he should find a new job.
