And that is why I call Bryan home because I was born there, but cannot live there until I am too old to think and speak. My mama was so glad when I grew and left because she was sure I was going to be lynched, grew up in the "Black and Proud" Sixties, and was vocal about it to the chagrin of most of the rest of Bryan.

On KBTX he cancelled after the DA John Paschall office called and told the Priest that Quanell X is a Muslim. The Mayor of Hearne went over and said that the DA's office was moments away from solving the case. Yea Right! So he cancelled the night before. Even after he knew about the facts the day after I talked to him. He wanted police protection acttually I don't blame him. On KBTX I asked questions about the Executive Inn where my son Hank Johnson was murdered in 2008 before the movie came out. I wish I would have known before my son went to Hearne. Before he was murdered in a crime infested place off Hwy 6. I told the Governor Rick Perry without success. I called the Kay Bailey Hutchinson office and she contacted Washington DC. Way to go. I would rather vote for her than for Rick Perry/ he said he couldn't do anything. About a man who was in office for 20 years you know Rick Perry knows about him. I am just saying do something about this RICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son Hank Alan Johnson was murdered in Hearne. The DA's brother in law is involved in the murder so he decided to cover it up. He threatened the detective steve stokley not to proceed with this case because of his brother in law. He threatened a priest who ran the movie "American Violet" in his church on the premier. He threatened the people who filmed the movie. He threatened me and I am the mother of Hank Alan Johnson. My son was 27 years old with 2 small kids. He was my whole life and that bastard is trying to exume his body to destroy evidence under my only sons fingernails and no one can stop him. I have called the Attorney Generals office, The Governor Rick Perrry, Kay Baily Hutchinson's office. Parents of Murdered Children, Mothers for unsolved murders. He is an elected official. Although he robbed a bank and was caught by a Texas Ranger. He is a racceteerer, a racist, prejudice asshole who just told me not to email and not to call him again.
