- In 2008, he spat on a woman and threatened to kill her boyfriend

How this could have been avoided
- Johnson should of simply ignored this person
- He could of made his profile private
- His agent or someone from the team could of controlled his twitter
Solution
- I would have made Johnson delete his Twitter
- He is a loose cannon and had prior legal problems
- Some people just do not belong on twitter
