One thing is for certain; there are a lot of really dumb teens running around the world. When I was a teenager, I did my fair share of silly and dumb things that most teens do. However, I never pulled a gun on a friend.
But it’s 2019, so someone turned it into a game. It’s called the ‘No Lacking’ challenge.
Mohamad Nour Alajil, 18, has been charged with manslaughter in connection to the Dec. 11 slaying of Christian Johnson, 19, officials said.

The rules are simple. One stupid teen pulls a gun on one of his or her friends. Then, the person drawn upon needs to pull out a gun of their own.
An explanation:
Police believe Johnson’s death resulted from the “No Lackin’” challenge, which calls for one person to pull a weapon on another on video to record the reaction, KPRC reported. The challenge stems from the notion that no one should ever be caught without, or “lacking,” a gun.

These are the kids of the future. Well, the ones that make it, at least.
That’s harsh, I know, but it’s sheer stupidity that landed Alajil with a manslaughter charge, and his friend Johnson with a premature funeral.
The defense asked for $30,000 bond while the prosecution asked for $100,000.
The judge set it at $250,000.
As far as I’m concerned, Alajil should be in jail with no way of getting out until the trial is over, and if convicted, until he serves his time.
The reason that he was able to shoot and kill Johnson is because he was out on bond for an armed robbery charge.
If someone’s a bad egg, they’re a bad egg.
