What you have here is a hate crime. People are really stretching for examples to demonstrate reverse racism.
Thank you Observant1!

This story is indeed sad because it seems to me that Johnson just wanted to die, either via "suicide by police", by fire, or via the justice system (dealth penalty). Johnson was crazey. plain and simple. How can anyone in their right mind leave a suicide note for their 10 year old son to find! This man needed some help a long time ago.
