Jonesboro school shooter Mitchell Johnson is to be tried today, Monday, January 28, 2008, in Fayetteville on an unrelated federal weapons charge. Johnson and Andrew Golden fatally shot four students and a teacher at Westside Middle School in 1998.

Johnson, now 23, was arrested on New Year's Day in Washington County.

Deputies allegedly found two weapons while searching Johnson's vehicle after they said they also found an ounce of marijuana in his pocket. Johnson told authorities he and the other man in the vehicle, Justin Trammell, were moving to California. The two met while Trammell was serving a sentence for killing his father with a crossbow.

Johnson is charged with one federal count of possession of a firearm while either a user or addicted to a controlled substance. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a 250,000-dollar fine if convicted.

Investigators say his wife was at work at the time of the shooting.

Mitchell has proven his inability to enjoy the right to own a firearm and now proven his inability to have freedom. Good riddance. I am glad he is not black so people won't rally for him

He SHOULD serve more then 10 years in prison. I don't understand why he was released at 21, anyway. I DO understand the juvenile part of it, but he was part of killing 5 people. And obviously, he hasn't learned his lesson. You would think that after everything he has done, he would at least TRY to live a better life. Saying he was given the PRIVALIDGE of being released. It seems like common sense, but, obviously to some its not. "Gee. I was released after killing multiple people. Why don't I try to prove to society that I am worthy of this privilege...."    Give him 25 years without parole and see if that teaches him something. Give him 10 years with parole and he will be released in a year, maybe 2. And he won't learn SH*T from that.

Oh geez.......he needs to serve a long sentence.  He obviously didn't learn anything while in prison.  A parloed felon with weapons is a HUGE red flag.  Let me help Static and Coreology and gmoney out here....YES, the guy is white.  Calm down....I know how happy that makes you guys!

Hes not a paroled felon....he has a clean record...it was wiped very clean when he was released.....  The crime was commited when he was in 7th grade and he was tried as a minor.....the law wasnt as strict then!!!  It has since changed!!!  He wasnt even in prison...he was placed in a prison type thing where they help youths who commit violent crimes!!!  So no he didnt learn a thing!!!  I dont guess he realizes that adult prison is much worse and he wont get the good treatment there!!!  The sad thing is none of his crime that he commited then will matter when he goes to court....I highly doubt he will even get 10 years....however...I hope when hes out he commits another felony (one without him killing anyone) and hes sent back longer...  Im kind of glad that he did this....I didnt want him out in the first place so it just puts him back where he belongs and no one was hurt thankfully!!!  Im sure he will use the excuse that a lot of ppl know who he is and know his face...hes not very liked anywhere and im sure he knows that anyone would wipe him off this earth in a heartbeat so he will say the guns are for protection!!!  However...if that were true and he truely was in fear of his life.....he could have gotten his concealed weapon license just like the rest us!!!  Hes allowed to own a gun after all!!!!!

Static:

Yes hes White....the only difference is the whites arent defending his crime or saying its ok that he did this!!!  No he didnt get off b/c he was white....he got off b/c he was a minor at the time.  Just so you know....he was prosecuted to the fullest they could at the time due to the law and he was also in a mostly white town.  Yes id love to see him dead but thats appearantly not gonna happen.  All we can do is hope that he keeps commiting crimes that are small and will keep him in prison or jail!!!  In never wanted him out in the first place!

gmoney2u,
 Watch what you say to Static or he will call the general manager of this station on you just as he did on me on another blog.Whats funny is ,is that he is just as much a liberal as the ones he speaks about.He wants to have all the say while all others are silenced.Thats classic Liberalism.He doesn't believe in dialog.

WORDS SPOKEN BY A TRUE IDIOT.  NO A TRUE SCUM SUCKING LYING DOG.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT THAT PIPE DOWN, AND GO BACK TO YOUR PILLS AT LEAST THEN YOU MADE A MARGINAL AMOUNT OF SENSE.... AND THAT IS A SMALL MARGIN.

HERE ARE SOME WORDS FOR YOU LIBERAL DEMONCRATS

   Hillary's humanity

   Is fraudulent at best this is truly a self serving bureaucrat that only thinks of herself.... Many of her followers think she is the road to the future.

   I fail to see this "path" she speaks of America going. Yet there are those words "I am going to take that money from big oil profits".

   Wait a second isn't nearly all 401K plans and other companies retirement money is invested in energy.

   Now I can see why her supporters had they hands in the air like a stripper. Just like Pacman Jones Hillary just wants to make it rain only "with our money".

(Did Hillary Try To ‘Buy’ Puerto Rican Votes With Tax Refunds?

Sen. Clinton has inroduced legislation, S 1757, that allows some Puerto Rican residents who pay no federal income tax, to get child-credit refunds on their Social Security and Medicare taxes. Her bill has no cosponsors - not even her New York colleague Chuck Schumer.

If enacted into law, Hillary’s tax refund plan could end up paying out more than $50 million over the next five years. She is framing her bill as a way to offer Puertan Rican residents the same child tax credits available to other Americans.
