TODAY’S TALKTerrell Johnson, a member of the Tennessee Legislative Black Caucus Criminal Justice Panel, will speak at the World Restoration Center located at 4004 Dorris St. at 6:30 p.m. today.
When 15-year-old Kenneth Blassingame said he didn’t have 15-year-old Anthony Anderson’s money, Anthony pretended to shoot Kenneth, who fell to the ground.
“We know this was staged and he’s going to get back up, but let me show you what happened to some folk who didn’t get back up,” said Terrell Johnson, pastor of Greater Fellowship Full Gospel Church in Bolivar, Tenn.
Then he showed more than a dozen slides of 14-year-old boys with gunshot wounds to the head with their heads still lying in the blood. He also showed the body of a 14-year-old girl found in trash and covered with maggots and a picture of a girl whose body had been burned beyond recognition.
“This is what I deal with every day,” said Johnson, a member of the Tennessee Legislative Black Caucus Criminal Justice Panel.
