Dear FOJ,
You're not going to convince any sane, rational person that this young man, with a history of criminal behavior, did not deserve to die for trying to shoot a cop. Most of us would have liked to have seen him taken out years ago, after his first crime, and we're sorry that it took him trying to gun down a cop for his pathetic, predatory life to finally end.
You can talktalk all you want about what a fine, upstanding person he was. And, by your ghetto standards, maybe he WAS the best you all have to offer society. But the rest of us look down our noses at ALL of you because you're too ignorant to understand that all the world is not your "turf" and decent, law-abiding citizens do not appreciate having to modify their own behavior and curtail their own freedom to avoid becoming a crime victim, courtesy of people like your beloved friend, Jonny.
There are a few white-guilt liberals among us who are probably weeping in their hankies right now, mourning the loss of such a "diverse" character. But the majority of us just think he and all of you are a bunch of trashy losers.
Have a nice day.
