A 25-year-old Missouri man says he mistook his mother for an intruder before shooting her to death at their home’s back door.
Prosecutors have charged Jaylen Johnson with manslaughter and armed criminal action in connection with the shooting death on Thursday of his mother, Monica McNichols-Johnson.
McNichols-Johnson’s shooting death came less than a year after another shooting in Missouri saw Ralph Yarl, then 16, get shot on 13 April by 84-year-old Andrew Lester after ringing the wrong doorbell while picking up his siblings.
We don’t call it Misery for nothing. Though sadly there’s a sizable chunk of this country I’d rather not set foot in; others you couldn’t pay me enough to live there. Even PA from where I grew up has gone to shit. Still, compared to Mississippi or Alabama, Missouri is living in the future.
Just feels like people are zombies in these areas. Right-wing media, corporations, low education, alcohol/drugs, lead exposure, TBIs really did a number on these areas…
