Released? Shit's gonna blow up.
I'd love to hear an explanation as to why a guy who shot an unarmed man - then stood over him and shot AGAIN is free to walk the streets. |

The first shot...um, okay. Self defense doesn't require that the other guy be armed if he's done something to show he might represent an immediate threat of serious harm. Personally I don't buy it but I could see being released for further investigation. But ****ing standing over the guy and putting another shot into him? Jesus; how do you let the guy walk out of the station there? That's pretty bad.

Yeah seems like a lot of bullshit going on. If he feared for his life he should have stayed in his vehicle and never got out. Wait for the police to defuse any hostility.

Damn. That guy is like George Zimmerman but WAY less provoked/threatened? I mean, McKnight had no gun, was not attacking. And this guy just walks? Something else has to be up.

Why would we elect Trump if we can't do what we want?

You're approaching a downed man close enough to stand over top of him, I'm pretty sure "fear of imminent bodily harm" isn't your mental state at the moment. If he were actually in fear of him, he wouldn't have walked up to him, gotten to within range to be injured by him and then shot him again. Like I said, the first shot may be defensible (we can't know either way) but the second shot seems like straight up murder to me if the witness is credible.

What a senseless loss of a life.
And released? There has to be WAY more of this story that isn't being reported. At least, I hope there is way more to this story. |

“A person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is in a place where he or she has a right to be shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force as provided for in this Section, and may stand his or her ground and meet force with force.”
eeesh. So don't get into in argument in Louisiana, or you can legally be murdered. I guess they're going to have to prove that he was/wasn't in imminent danger.
