Mr. Sinister Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Crap. I heard this on the radio and couldn't believe it. What a shame. I remember when he declared for USC and I thought he was gonna be a monster. Just came along at the wrong time, following in the footsteps of Lendale White and Reggie Bush Don't know what happened, but I will say that at the end of the day, your life (whether ended or spent in a cell until the day you die) is worth more than a wrecked car.

abdcskins Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The shooter was released without any formal charges. Stand Your Ground Law. McKnight had no gun. Worst law in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.T.real,lights,out Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 How? How is that even possible. Murder someone and not even be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The witness stories are pretty hard to swallow. Apparently McKnight had no weapon and was in the process of apologizing for the accident when this man blew him away and then stood over his dying body, fired one more shot and said "I told you not to **** with me.". Sounds like something right out of the movies. The picture of the guy just sitting there, emotionless, as the police/paramedics try to revive the guy he just shot is pretty chilling too. Kinda crazy this stuff is legal in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very hesitant to put much faith in witness stories. Especially after some of the more recent stories where the witnesses have added their own twist.

Kinda crazy this stuff is legal in the US. The sheriff has said that none of the above happened (based on the evidence collected thus far). McKnight was hit 3 times. All 3 shell casings were recovered in the shooters vehicle. None of the 3 wounds were consistent with someone standing above McKnight and firing. Sheriff is saying that that witness account is factually incorrect based on the evidence. Wait for the investigation to be completed before getting the torches and pitchforks folks. The media is mostly bull**** and will run with whatever gets the most hits for them. Facts aren't that important to them these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 All the above may be true, but its still crazy that you can shoot an unarmed man 3 times, kill him and walk free less than 24 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the phony claims by the witness (or witnesses) was quickly disproven. The casings were all found in the shooter's car. And the shots also couldn't have been fired with the shooter standing over him, because of the trajectory of the bullets that entered McNight. Thats why these days you should never go off of witness statements, because they are often found to be untrue. And I agree with the guy that said it should be a felony to provide a false account. That's the only way to stop these idiots from doing this stuff. Send a clear message to these racists that this stuff won't be tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he shot McKnight from inside his car? Yeah, his life was in danger BTW nice guy you're jumping to the defense of... https://www.jpso.com/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=214 From another road rage incident he was involved in During this incident, the victim/reporting person, identified only as a 51-year-old white male from Marrero, called 911 in Jefferson Parish to report that a male subject was driving a red pick-up truck unsafely on Holiday Drive. The victim observed a phone number on the truck to call if the vehicle was being operated unsafely. When the victim called the phone number, an individual, later identified as Ronald Gasser told the victim he was the one driving the red pick up truck. A verbal altercation began between the victim and Gasser began at that time. Once the victim reached the service station, he pulled in to begin refueling his vehicle. It was at that time Gasser, who had followed him into the station, confronted him and began to strike him with a closed fist several times. After doing so, the victim reported Gasser drove out of the service station, at which time he called 911. But hey,, at least he's a good ol' boy I swear at this point I hope every NFLer alive takes a ****ing knee for the national anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me where I ever claimed the first witness' account was gospel? Its just not a coincidence that some of you usual suspects are in here dismissing any notion that the black man didn't deserve to die. The only facts at this time are that a man previously cited for road rage ended up in another road rage situation only this time he murdered a man with no weapon. That alone should be enough to be skeptical of the murderer. Yet here you guys are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that he deserved to die. The smart thing for both parties would/should have been to just drive on and not look back. Yet, it appears that neither one was smart enough to be the bigger man. As for the color of his skin playing a role in this? That is a narrative that you alone appear to support. The whole damned thing is a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
