I wonder how long it will take before they release the entire story?
I doubt they know the entire story just one day later.

Would the fact that Gasser was charged with assault after chasing down another motorist at the same intersection 10 years ago be relative?
At the time of the press conference, the sheriff wasn't sure if Gasser had a license to carry the gun. Is that something to consider?
can be sure you will always side against the white guy

I've only seen a the statement from the witness who reported the opposite.
quote:All 3 casings being inside Gasser's car puts McKnight at the guy's window, not the other way around. That doesn't mean the shooting was justified, but it does mean the Times-Picayune got the initial story horribly wrong, and owes the public both a retraction and apology.
A report from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, said a witness “saw a man at the intersection yelling at McKnight, who was trying to apologize.” The witness also told the Times-Picayune that Gasser stood over McKnight and shot him.
Normand said that wasn’t true. He specifically discounted three things he said he has seen reported.
Normand, who said the incident “started as road rage,” said all three casings from bullets fired by Gasser were found in his car. He said that Gasser fired all the shots from inside his car, and never stood over McKnight.
“That did not happen,” Normand said in his press conference, which was broadcast live by NOLA.com. “That witness account – and we talked to that witness, if it’s the same one I’m talking about – is factually incorrect. It did not happen.”
Normand said there is no video of the incident that he is aware of.
He also said there was no account of McKnight trying to apologize to Gasser.

You don't need a license to carry a gun in a vehicle in Louisiana.

Shocker eye witness lie all the time and people still buy into it

And the rabid media is always quick to report the most scandalous angle rather than trying to moderate the narrative. Time and time again these incidents are nothing more than click bait for the supposed main-stream media. And they'll never call the race-baiters to the floor on their rhetoric or look into the history of the people that were killed. Now I'm not saying Joe has any criminal history but others have and it's wrong for the media to paint them as saints vs trigger happy white people.

Today Show is using term "gunned down". Hoping for an arrest.
Also bad mouthing the Jefferson Parish Sheriff
Unfortunately the tone has been set. Anything less than murder and the sheriff being removed from office is unacceptable.

The "shooter" bears some responsibility for this death. He did not call the police during this multi-mile car chase. He did not have to put down his window and could have remained in his locked car. The window was down as the first shot hit McKnight's hand as he reached for the gun.
The "shooter" should be held accountable for his part in this sad story. He may not be charged with murder but he did not act within the law during the entire car chase scenario.

Quote the criminal statutes Gasser violated by not calling police, rolling down his window, etc.

What information do you have that he broke a law?
Hell, we are not even certain any traffic laws were broken.

In February in an article on Marijuana legalization, Normand was quoted "We'll get out of the drug business, but more policemen will live, and more people will die".

You're describing McKnight as assaulting Gasser who fired from inside his vehicle. Perhaps people like McKnight shouldn't try to attack some one in their vehicle.

Why are we assuming he's attacking? There's coming over for a chat and then there's attacking. Especially coming from the passenger side where he has to reach over a seat?

My favorite thing about modern news stories is that people will make up their mind based upon non-existent facts or strange unwritten rules (that they'd never want applied to themselves) and form a narrative based upon those.
"Everyone knows you roll up your window when someone is following you during a road rage insurance. This guy didn't. He obviously wanted to kill a black man."

Did the police say this was a road incident-which-incited-a-chat? Thanks in advance.

Reread the question.

Does the shooter have to pretty well prove his self defense to not even be charged? Like we know who shot who and that he's dead so it's not like they are having to prove he committed the act, now he has to defend why he did it
Fair enough, but he says it's self defense and no eyewitnesses are willing to come forward and there is zero evidence AGAINST the shooters claim, then I can see how they would release him on bail (or just release him).
I've heard so many different stories by the media about how witnesses saw him being the aggressor. Why aren't they going to the police?

The police interviewed the media's star witness and apparently none of what she said is backed up by the evidence.
