Now faces up to 95 years. This hits home a little more, I lived just a few blocks from the Hive and was there every weekend.

Backstory: Every business in DT Omaha boarded up following George Floyd, and the bar owner Jake Gardner, with his father, went to his business to protect their property.

The deceased, James Scurlock, broke into a nearby business and ransacked the place. He and his posse walked up to The Hive bar, and started throwing shite into the windows. Jake and his father were outside, one of James's friends attacks the elder Gardner. Jake, an ex-marine, gets tackled from behind and pulls a firearm to shoot 2 warning shots in the air.

After getting up, he gets tackled again, this time by young James (who just got out of prison for the 3rd time at the ripe age of 22), who proceeds to choke out Jake for 18 seconds before Jake pulls his firearm again and shoots behind himself, hitting and killing James.

This was initially ruled clear self defense, but of course the mob demanded a independant jury investigate. This was clearly self defense, but you know, gotta pander to the mob. Disgusting

The long held right of self defense is being eradicated before our very eyes.

That’s one way to make guns useless.

If he just says he was protesting and supports BLM, he probably gets out for good behavior

While it's bullshite that he was even charged, there's zero chance he'll be convicted

You remember when action would happen?

When Obama’s DOJ sent their sycophants to cities. Why can’t the opposite be true for defending the good guys with Barr?

Basically these local officials have decreed that the choice is jail or death.

The state should put a bounty on killing people with criminal records who are again engaged in violent, criminal behavior. Shooter should at least get a medal.

This is what is most disturbing to me. Facts don't matter; narratives do and that local authorities have abdicated their responsibilities.

It might be time to stop turning ourselves into the police when this happens, and instead close ranks and clam up like the ANTIFA peeps do.
