I've been reading this thread since its inception.
You have been backing JM to the point if I wonder you are relation to JM.
McKnight's motive for approaching the shooters car was to kick his arse. That is why the shooter was ROR and not charged. Not saying he won't be charger later, but I doubt it.
But why did JM want to beat his arse so badly? That is the central question here in regard to Gasser's role in the escalation of the situation.
JM is dead and he's already been convicted by a lot of people in this thread. He obviously acted in the wrong and got what was coming to him.
However, this doesn't mean Gasser is guilty of nothing. He may very well be innocent, but when you kill someone and admit to it, you better have a good reason. We don't know yet if he had that reason.

He will probably be exonerated and that will be the right call given the burden of proof the state needs to have in order to convict. I will not protest because it's better to let a guilty man free than to lock up an innocent man. However, I will hold firm to the view that Gasser is likely a huge a-hole.

The bullet entry and exit wounds and indicate that JM was at least partially inside of the car.
Everything points to Mcknight being the aggressor
All of this is true except McKnight's relation to the car. That is certainly plausible, and we've got one reporter saying the sheriff said McKnight was at the passenger window, but whether he was in the vehicle or not is undetermined at this point. The entry/exit wounds suggest he was bent over, but if he was arguing through the window he could have the same entry/exit wounds without actually being in the car.
I understand that you can assume he was in the car, but we don't know that yet.

I agree but gasser wasn't the one out of his car. Maybe he learned his lesson from 10 years ago? Idk
Yeah he probably remembered that time he got out and whipped some guy's arse, so he thought JM was going to do the same.
Long story short, if Gasser would have assaulted someone like himself back in 2006, he wouldn't have survived to eventually kill JM a couple days ago. Crazy how that works.

It's old news reported by JPSO. Please don't berate me before you read the thread.

Very true. Talk about the ripples in the pond. How does that happen? Ten years apart at the same intersection. Same type of incident.

go look at the photos McKnight was illegally parked not in a lane past the turn lane.
Exactly.
quote:
Mcnight was out of his vehicle
Same, his first mistake. Second mistake was approaching Gasser's vehicle while yelling and screaming who knows what to Gassers.
quote:
Look at what the coroner said and where the spent casings were found.
Exactly.
quote:
Right before being shot Mcnight was the aggressor.
There is no doubt about JM's actions that day. If he would've just stayed in his vehicle, he would be alive today.
Sad situation, but IMO, totally avoidable.

JPSO Press Release RE: Gasser's road rage incident in 2006
quote:
Sheriff Newell Normand reports, Gasser was involved in an incident on February 20, 2006, around 3:30 PM that began on Holiday Drive in New Orleans and ended in the service station at the intersection of Holmes Blvd. and Berhman Hwy., in Terrytown. 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.
Investigators at a later date located Mr. Gasser, at which time he was issued a misdemeanor summons for simple battery. The charge of simple battery was ultimately dismissed. We will continue to research this matter in order to determine the reason for the dismissal. Once we are able to determine same, we will report the outcome of our review.
Gas station in 2006 was at the same intersection where he shot McKnight.

Dude sounds like a hot head.

True. Either one could have prevented this. Sometimes you just gotta let shite go. Not worth it.

Don't know the man, and I'm sure you don't either.
He very well could be, but in that episode he had to protect himself.
If cooler heads prevailed, JM would still be alive. But, I can't blame Gasser protecting himself.
I'm 54 and too old to fight anyone, much less a professional athlete. I have a CCW with two neck surgeries and I'm not about fight anyone, ever. All it would take for someone to punch me in the face and my surgeon told me I could be a paraplegic or dead. Just not worth fighting.
Of course, I don't look for trouble while carrying. It's the smart, responsible thing to do as someone who legally carries.

Yeah it is pretty incredible.
At this point I think we can pretty much surmise both parties' mindsets, we just don't know the final details - namely whether or not JM was in the vehicle or trying to get into the vehicle. We may never know, especially when one party is dead and there is no video, and forensics will probably tell enough of a story to provide reasonable doubt for Gasser.
I just can't get over the idea that Gasser dealt an asswhipping back in 2006, but when the roles were reversed, he shot McKnight dead.
Posted on 12/3/16 at 1:09 pm to slackster
I don't think it's a stretch to think he or anyone else is an a-hole if you follow someone and beat them because they called you out on your bad driving. I think we can all agree on that. Doesn't make him guilty in this incident.

One of those things that proves fact is stranger than fiction.
A little off topic, but wasn't JM in trouble in the past for hit and run and no insurance.
Interesting to see if either one of the participates called police or anyone else during this incidents. Could shed some more information on this incidents.
Posted on 12/3/16 at 1:11 pm to Kcrad
I don't think either vehicle actually hit the other. 2 guys raging in traffic. I doubt either would call the police, but we'll see.
