Deputies said Nathanial Johnson, 68, caught Cleveland Jones Gully, 31, breaking into back door of his Alabama home on Friday night
- He chased Gully out of the house and then the intruder either fell or jumped off the back steps, authorities said
- Johnson jumped on him, tied his hands behind his back, put duct tape on his mouth and tied him to a tree with masking tape and clothesline
- He then called 911 and when sheriff’s deputies arrived about 10 minutes later, Gully was dead
- Autopsy will be performed and no charges have been filed yet against Johnson
“… and no charges have been filed yet against Johnson.”
Why should there be?
There, clearly, was NO INTENT …
izlamo delenda est …
Cool, the Dindu Nuffin got his just reward.
Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!

Mr. Johnson has some balls, and apparently keeps himself fit enough to overpower a man half his age. Kudos. But masking tape?? Must have run out of quack tape.
He’s faking it.
His intent was to hold the perp until police arrived.
Just got a little careless, the tape was put over his mouth and nose.
FBI will clear him.
@ billyfuster
Yup, you know how dey lie
Obama calls it a lynching in 3..2..
So Gully’s uncle said that he was in shock, that Gully wasn’t a violent person that he knew of.
And. . . . What the hell does not being violent have to do with breaking and entering and being a thief?
It would be interesting to know what Gully’s uncle does/did for a living?
And will Gully’s family sue Johnson (hehehe. he said “johnson”) over the death of their thieving didndu nuffin relative?
And did Gully have any children (that lived) to pass his Stoopid Genes on to? Damn, the Gene Pool needs a good chlorine cleanout.
Outlaw tape in 1.2.3…..
When I was young my father and I came home to find three black men in
our house. My dad was a deputy Sheriff and carried a .45 when off duty. he told them they had 5 seconds to leave.
They did.
He did not want to shoot someone in front of me.
He knew who they were and picked them up later.
After that day our Doberman Pinscher. Stayed in the house. Not outside.
I guess Johnson is a black guy, since I didn’t hear about looting and rioting because of this.
Good for Mr. Johnson. Sucks to be Gully, Karma’s a bitch.
Pickins must be slim in that area. It doesn’t look like crime would pay very well in that trailer park.
Sorry. My give a shit’s been broken for a long time.
Nice one, Nat!
I LOVE a happy ending!
I feel bad but… I may or may not have burst into laughter when I first read this… I mean what a crazy headline! x)
He looks like Fred Sanford.
Have y’all seen the home that was being burgled?
You ought to be shot for trying to steal from such a poor person.
Hmm. Seems the Bible clears him. Ex:22:2: If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Intent DOES matter when it comes to homicide. Huge difference between manslaughter and murder and intent makes the difference.
Known for B&E, eh?
Guess he won’t do it again.
