      1. THREAD. This is the only image many people will ever see of #DannyRayThomas. Unarmed, confused, seemingly lost in the middle of a Houston street in the broad daylight, pants at his feet as he waddles around aimlessly, mumbling and foaming at the mouth. That's wrong.pic.twitter.com/zRjitfcQ9Z

      Then, on Friday, August 12th, 2016 - the unthinkable happened. While #DannyRayThomas was in prison for simple drug possession, his ex-wife murdered his two babies. 5-year-old Kayiana and her 7-year-old brother Araylon “Ray Ray” Thomas were drowned, then hidden under a housepic.twitter.com/buGBMggx4B

      Do you see those two tears under the eye of #DannyRayThomas? Those were for his two babies. Imagine the unthinkable pain of having your kids murdered. Now imagine being in prison for your drug addiction while it happened. Broke him into little bitty pieces.pic.twitter.com/SgqBu2VrGK

          When #DannyRayThomas was finally released from prison, he was, as you can imagine, just a hollow shell of his best self. The guilt, pain, and anger were overwhelming. He fought to recover - and tried hard. Damn hard. Every single day. I spoke to people who knew him. Valiant.

          So, last Thursday, when bystanders & onlookers saw a very random, confused man stumbling through the streets of Houston with his pants down, the laughed nervously. He needed an ambulance. He needed so much love & healing. Instead, he got a cop.https://twitter.com/RobDownenChron/status/977387735504904192 …
