Its hard to see a good person, strong man, and family member get killed over something stupid. Minnie should have a death sentence b/c she should have been a woman and just talked it out with him. Till dis very day, it hurts me to think about a wonderful man to lost his life by his own wife. If she really loved him that much, she should have just forgot about the rumors and lies and tired her best to make it a happy home for her kids and grandkids who will not be able to see there grandfather again. Earnis Johnson was the greatest man i ever knew. Now that hes gone he will never be forgot. If I could have told him one thing before his death, I would have told him that he was the best person i ever knew and that I am with him at all times. R.I.P. EARNIS JOHNSON JR.

Anonymous: Your sarcasm is touching. The fact is, many people do survive gunshot wounds. It depends on where the bullets hit, how much blood is lost and how fast, how quickly medical help is available. When a man's life has been lost, I really don't think sarcasm is called for. We all can see where your priorities are.

This is a sad situation. There are more ways to solve problems than to kill someone. This was a senseless loss of life. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
