I bet Larry David could make a funny joke about this. *cue theme*
8:35 AM, Larry David opens his mouth and spews garbage, and somehow people call it 'humor'. No humor is needed in this situation with the death of a young man.
Why is his Facebook page being displayed?
What type of horrendous person are you?
There IS no FB page by that name.
I will never understand why thugs and wannabes love Tony Montana so much. The movie Scarface was a cautionary tale. He was a psychotic imbecile that lost everything he loved.

Pretty sure that is Pacino in Godfather II.
10:11, I bet you wouldn’t have been calling him a thug if he were white. But sure, you’re not racist.
I was beggining to think that Baby Choks anti-crime initiatives were kicking in, but alas, it's more likely that the thugs were at their annual convention in Nola on Bourbon Street.

Just a guess.....but I think this may be DRUG related. Bad debts or territorial encroachment. Folks have to learn that the guys do not play. They are lethal. Al Capone instructed his henchmen to shoot them twice in the head, twice in the heart, and then cut their throat so if they lived they could not talk and put the finger on him. Baaaaaad Men!

In response to your comment, a white thug is what the "wannabe" was intended for.
Pacino was nothing less than stellar in "The Godfather " along with "The Godfather, Part II".
Jauan Tolbert (RIP) may have admired Al's role in "Scarface", but every time I try to watch that film, I get bored.
Just me.
Not really a bad film, just too long without a compelling story (IMHO).
But movies, will always be subjective.
options, 1) random victim of late night, bad area violence? 2) Rule out Klan, he is a nobody and those days are gone. 3) Hundreds of FB friends, most are of color and use the 'N..ia' word very much, us 'bitches' also. 3) A hit over drugs, rap, women, money owed. More than one person knows what went down.
Regardless of his lifestyle hope their are some leads and a arrest(s). Statistically we are more likely murdered by own race. I go with option 3.
6:51 - Again, there is no Facebook page by that name. Check your spelling.
What # is this?
A few nights after this shooting, there was a random shooting behind the Whataburger on County Line. However, reports say right after that, other areas around Madison heard gunshots. The victim supposedly drove himself to Canton to the hospital. Was he being pursued and shot at?
