"Death of a Joplin Honky"? I did not know him personally. But this was a person, a father, and someone's son. This is hateful language and you should feel ashamed.
ReplyDelete'joplin honkies' is the name of a gang, you dolt.
DeleteThe deceased had a tattoo on his body with the "joplin honky". So appearently he was proud of this label. I dont think the article is using it as an insult.
DeleteThey're a gang in town. They call themselves this, do and sell drugs, "cage fight", and rob businesses and people. I've met a few. The title is just. And "hateful language" may just help drive these meth heads out by informing yourself.
DeleteHe was a member of our family and had a disease of addiction. I am sure you have a family member that is sick too. I just hope and pray they don't end up like our family member.
DeleteMeyers had "Joplin Honky" tatooed on his body. I don't think the author intended any "hateful language"; he was simply stating a fact.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Joplin honkeys had become a group. It's a term thrown around for years. But is it necessary to title the article "death of a Joplin honkey" ?
ReplyDeleteThat is a heartless thing to do he is a person with family and friends but what do u expect from junkie tweekers really!!! Hopefully they pay for it.
ReplyDeleteIf he had "joplin honky" tattooed on him like the article says then clearly he wasnt ashamed of it. They are only saying this bc he says he is on his own skin.
ReplyDelete"joplin honkies" do more than just sell n do drugs. They rape girls, pin them down and shoot them up with dope .... they think that they really run the whole area. Murders thieves rapist racist drug pusher.... boy that's really something to be proud of
ReplyDeleteok but why that tattoo how about his sons name or his wifes name around his wedding finger u know come on nate was all about respect show him some damn cops
ReplyDeleteHe was a member of our family and I am sure you wouldn't be so cruel if it was one of yours. I am sure you have a family member that is in trouble like he was and I pray they don't end up like ours.
ReplyDeleteHe is a father/son, however, he chose his lifestyle as a honkey. That was HIS choice and he made the bed he lies in. If he were out of the lifestyle and living clean, this wouldn't have happened. He has probably hurt so many people (Guarenteed his choices hurt his family) that this is considered karma. As for the skank and pussy man that dumped his body, karma has plans for them as well. They all racist fucks and recieved the kind of hate they have been dishing out!
ReplyDeleteAnd this was his homeboy!!! WTF
ReplyDeleteJoplin honky is a gang. Not all of the joplin honkies are bad people like most of u assume. If u don't no people you only go on what you hear of corse its going to look bad. just like every person or every group every race there is good and bad people . so stop judging as for the what the two that could have saved his life that didn't their trash ,and they deserve what they got because dumping him off somewhere was wrong ,could have saved his life . and I guarantee that when they get into the prison neither one of them are going to make it without going into protective custody because they will get the s*** beat out of them
ReplyDeleteIf you're associated with the Joplin Honkies sorry you're a POS. Don't say not all of them are bad. 😂🤣😂😂
