Big Mad Over A Honey Bun?!

More Details On The Sticky Situation

The shooting, per police reports, happened last Thursday at around 11:22 a.m. on Loveless Drive in Ellenwood, DeKalb County.
Charlamagne The God Reacts
Recently on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Charlamagne Tha God gave Michael Crowley the infamous “Donkey of the Day” after news broke. While calling out the senselessness of the situation, Charlamagne also touched on the importance of men addressing their mental health. He pointed out how petty arguments can spiral when folks are emotionally unchecked, especially in a heatwave.
“It is a scientific fact that hot temperatures cause people to bug out. And, Michael Crowley is the latest example of that,” Charlamagne said. “Mental illness, unhealed trauma, the heat, and a honey bun. That led to Michael Crowley shooting and killing his uncle. I know, as a man, Michael Crowley had some other things going on in his life…and, Michael was just all the way fed up… The moral of the story is, a moment of anger can ruin a lifetime of peace.”
