According to the evidence presented at the two-month trial, Johnson was the leader of an organization known today as the BGF Greenmount Avenue Regime, a violent set, or “bubble,†of BGF. During the early years in which it operated, the gang called itself the Young Guerilla Family, or YGF, and consisted mostly of younger people who lived in the 2200, 2300, and 2400 blocks of Barclay Street and Guilford Avenue. YGF members sold drugs throughout the Greenmount Avenue corridor and committed murders, shootings, and armed robberies.
In about mid-2007, YGF members took the BGF oath and became the BGF Greenmount Regime. According to evidence presented at trial, the BGF Greenmount Regime continued to sell drugs and commit violent acts, including murders, shootings and robberies, and by mid-2013 controlled the roughly rectangular area bordered by Greenmount Avenue to the east; Guilford Avenue to the west; 25th Street to the north; and Federal Street to the south, as well as certain offshoots east of Greenmount Avenue, including Mund Park and Cokesbury Avenue.
Between 2005 and 2017, the BGF Greenmount Avenue Regime and its members were responsible for seven murders; three non-fatal shootings; more than 10 armed robberies; and over 12 years of street-level drug dealing.
In his capacity as a leader of BGF, Johnson supplied his fellow gang members with powder and crack cocaine, as well as heroin, ecstasy, marijuana and oxycodone, for further distribution on the street. He also distributed narcotics himself.
Johnson also ordered the commission of multiple acts of violence, including two murders. First, in January 2007, he ordered the murder of Gregory Rochester, a/k/a “Craig Mack,†because Rochester was rumored to be cooperating with law enforcement and because Johnson suspected that Rochester had stolen drugs from the gang. On January 9, 2007, YGF members Kenneth Jones, a/k/a “Slay,†and Charles Pace, a/k/a “Foo,†carried out Johnson’s directive and murdered Rochester inside an apartment building in the 200 block of East 25th Street.
Second, in April 2013, Johnson ordered the murder of Moses Malone. Johnson authorized the murder after learning that Malone had provided information to Baltimore City Police detectives regarding a robbery and shooting committed by BGF member Norman Handy. Malone was the victim of that shooting. During his interview with police detectives, Malone had picked Handy out of a photo array as the person who shot him. On May 2, 2013, BGF member Wesley Brown carried out Johnson’s directive and murdered Malone in the 600 block of Cokesbury Avenue.
Prior to his conviction in this case, Johnson was acquitted of gang-related offenses following a jury trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.
The following eight co-defendants, also members of the BGF gang, have all previously pleaded guilty or were found to be guilty of conspiring to violate federal racketeering and drug trafficking laws;
Joseph Laurence Bonds, a/k/a/ Joe, a/k/a Yo Gotti, age 36; Wesley Jamal Brown, a/k/a Shike White a/k/a Wes, age 25; Kenneth Lee Faison, a/k/a Roscoe, age 28; Norman Tyrone Handy, a/k/a Lil Norm, a/k/a Norm, age 23; Montel Harvey, a/k/a Telly, a/k/a Telephone, a/k/a Big Head, age 26; David Albert Hunter, a/k/a Lil Dave, a/k/a Dave, age 31; Kenneth Jones, a/k/a, K-Slay, a/k/a Slay, age 30; and Marquise McCants, a/k/a Digga, age 25
Both my parents are as white as the whitest Lilies of the Valley, but I identify as BLACK.. I know a lot people over here will make fun of me from now on, but I really don't care anymore because transracial people also need to have a voice who will speak on their behalf.. According to my mother it all started from a very young age, when I wouldn't wear anything but FUBU and would only speak Ebonics. I've made a decision after watching the Netflix documentary about the incredibly brave Rachel Dolezal, that I will no longer hide my true self and therefore decided with my personal physician that we will implement the proper plastic surgeries as soon as possible, so that my transition will become as complete as possible..

Hey man, I would've been offended if you didn't give, at the very least, a rolling eyes or a face palm.. But the shocking news is that this is a very real and current thing. Like I said I just saw the 'Rachel Divide' on Netflix and it seems that a substantial portion of those bleeding hearts progressives have made 'Transracials' their newest cause. The poor 'Transgenders' are maybe starting to go out of fashion or something..
This world is getting crazier by the day and as much as I love Netflix, it is getting pretty obvious that they are trying to push a lot of liberal and progressive ideas to their public..

At the moment i can't comment a full statement due to busy. I will be honest with you, Transracial is the most outrageous phenomenon to happen. As a Black man , it's complete Bulls***. As a friend said Everyone wants to be Black until s*** hit the fan.

I’m with BillyBrizzi. I too, consider myself transracial. I’m really offended right now.
If your offended than you have no idea how deeply jaded I am. This is more of a cultural issue to me than "identity". I'm quite sure a few Blacks are going state similar cases for whatever they're "transition " into. If there's a serious discussion than it's for the General section. Stay out of my threads with that nonsense please. If it's not OC related it's pointless.
