Can anyone link me to this guy's story? I've heard about it several times, searched for it, and never found it.

Same, I'll be there thursday. I don't see why everyone would be so scared to go now. Less crowded for me I guess.

not like any of them are "innocent."

I don't see any of the group walking away, which is what they are supposed to do. Marines should be held to a higher standard, and college athletes should also be held to a higher standard.

Yeah, thats what I said, they were all punished in one form or another. What did the first guy get punished for though? Pushing away some guy who was humping his leg. He won't be facing any charges.

Argh, the paper has already started the whole "They were good kids, never wanted any trouble" stuff.

I don't think I feel sorry for any of them, they all stepped up and they all were/are being punished, be it by the law or by the blade...well, except for that one marine, whos only role was as a punching bag.

So the word is that the two brothers started an altercation inside the club, they all got kicked out, and after his friend started taking a beating the veteran pulled a knife and stabbed one of them in the heart and the other multiple times, I'm sure he was drunk at the time. I was a couple doors down at the time having some pizza.

It looks like everyone already has this guy condemned, but it seems like a toss up to me. His friend was sustaining serious bodily injury from two stout guys, he used deadly force. He was drunk however, and they were both marines. One of them a veteran, they also didn't leave and avoid confrontation...either party. Assuming these are the facts, what is your opinion? Note that I asked a question very similar to this several months back.


"The suspect accused of killing a Rice basketball player after a night of partying at a Northgate bar has been released on a $200,000 bail.

Brazos County Sheriff officials say Ronald Johnson Jr. bonded out Saturday night around 9 p.m.

The 23-year-old College Station resident was arrested last week and charged with the murder of Johnathan Bailey. Johnson is a United States Marine.

College Station police responded to a report of a shooting at the 100 block of College Main at approximately 1:45 a.m. Thursday. There was a reported altercation outside the V-Bar on the 110 block of College Main on Northgate in which two male victims received multiple stab wounds.

Jonathan Bailey, 22, was pronounced dead after being taken to St. Joseph Regional Health Center by College Station Fire Department personnel. Janson Bailey, his twin brother, is undergoing treatment for multiple stab wounds.

Jonathan was a sophomore guard for the Rice University basketball team. Janson was enrolled at Texas A&M through the end of the fall semester, but did not return for the spring.

Ronald Andrew Johnson, Jr., 23, was arrested on charges of murder Thursday.

Court documents state that Johnson and his friend Mike Fuller, also a Marine, got into a drunken brawl involving the Bailey brothers outside of V-Bar just before 2 a.m. Fuller told police he was kicked and punched by a group of people that included the Bailey brothers and that his injuries were so severe that both of his eyes were swollen shut.

Johnson told officials the confrontation started just before the bar closed. According to the reports, Fuller was in line at the bar when Janson was "humping up on his leg." Fuller then pushed Janson, who in turn punched Fuller in the face.

Witnesses told police officials that after the men were kicked out of the bar, fighting continued into an outside alley. The court documents state Fuller was then allegedly punched in the face, and the Bailey brothers were stabbed by Johnson.

Johnson told police he left with his friend and returned to an apartment in College Station where they washed his pocketknife in a sink, according to the court report. Police later found Johnson at the apartment because officers found Fuller's credit card at the bar, where he had opened a tab, police said.

"Obviously, we are shocked at the tragedy of epic proportions," said Willis Wilson, Rice men's basketball coach, in a statement released Thursday afternoon. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Every member of our program is grieving at the loss of a teammate and a friend."

As of Friday, Fuller had not been charged with criminal involvement pertaining to the incident, according to police reports."
