“For everyone who has, or plans to comment on this story...a few things need to be thought of before you do so. Remember that Johnny has a mother and father that love him, and 4 brothers and a lil sister that love him. He is an uncle, a cousin, a friend, and a person that holds a special place in the hearts of those who know him. He will be missed by many when he has to serve out his punishment for what he did. The March burglary that the paper points out only occurred because his grandmother had been the victim of a home invasion in which her purse was stolen and he was simply attempting to get his grandmothers property back, He followed the man that stole the purse and followed him into his home, he did not burglarize anyone that day...hence the reason it has gone to trial. Anyone with a brain in their head can look at the photo of the back door of that store and know that the owner inside heard what someone coming. He waited inside until the door was pried open...I’m sure it took a few minutes, and he waited for a good shot. He had plenty of time to call police when the noise of the door getting pried open began. His story about being woken up and in a panic is nothing but a line to keep himself out of trouble....it is ok to shoot someone that is invading your property, I understand that, but a decent human being would do everything else first. Had the owner yelled that he was inside with a gun this could have been avoided...even a shot into the air would have been sufficient. I wish Johnny all the luck in the world...I know he will get thru this and be a better person because of all of it. Its just sad that people who don’t know all the facts throw words around that are better left undsaid. You can’t believe everything you read people...there are 2 sides to every story.”
