JUSTICE FOR JOHNNY ANGEL
by PATTY BAIST
JONNY ANGEL
6/16/2006 WAS THE WORST DAY IN MY LIFE. A LITTLE AFTER 6 PM i FOUND OUT MY 19 YEAR OLD SON HAD DIED AT 5:02 PM...AS THE DAYS PASSED I FOUND OUT THAT MY SON JOHNNY BAIST HAD BEGUN USING HEROIN A COUPLE MONTHS PRIOR. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT HE ALWAYS "SNORTED" IT UNTIL 6/16/2006 WHEN HE DECIDED HE WANTED TO TRY SHOOTING IT UP...THERE WAS APROX. 5 OR 6 PEOPLE THERE THAT DAY AND ALL KNEW BY 2:38 (ACCORDING TO CELL PHONE RECORDS) THAT HE HAD OVERDOSED.YET THOSE PEOPLE SPENT 2 HOURS COMING UP W/ A STORY AND CLEANING UP THE HOUSE OF ALL DRUG RELATED ITEMS. THEY JUST LEFT HIM GASPING FOR EACH BREATH FOR OVER 2 HOURS. BY THE TIME PARAMEDICS ARRIVED JOHNNY'S HEART HAD JUST STOPPED. ACCORDING TO HOSPITAL RECORDS AFTER INJECTING HIM W/ A DOSE OF NARCAN HIS HEART BRIEFLY RESTARTED. HOWEVER AFTER A FEW MINUTES HIS HEART HAD STOPPED. HE DIED AT 5:02 PM ON 6/16/2006. NOW THAT IT IS 5 YEARS LATER I STILL HAVE NOT RECOVERED FROM THE SUDDEN AND TRAGIC DEATH OF MY ONLY SON. I STILL CRY FOR HIM EVERYDAY AND DREAM OF THE TYPE OF MAN HE WOULD BE NOW...THE PAIN OF LOSING MY SON HAS BEEN MORE THAN I CAN BEAR AT TIMES. JOHNNY WAS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED ARTIST AND HE WAS ATTENDING SCHOOL FOR GRAPHIC ARTS AND ANIMATION AND HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL IN LIFE IS GONE FOREVER BECAUSE HE MADE A STUPID DECISION AND ALSO TRUSTED THE SCUMBAGS HE WAS WITH.
