I knew the victim and he was my friend but he was absolutely a hot-headed little dude. The video demonstrated his personality pretty afttua) accurately. He picked the wrong mfer to mess with yesterday.

Sad but damn he could have minded his business.

Earlier in the day, He checked in on Facebook at a bar in Metairie all Happy and shite ready to watch the game. Smh.

My first thought at hearing a BR guy in his 40s was killed in the French quarter was I hope it wasn’t mikelbr so it’s interesting you knew him

you'll never see me punching anyone that's for sure. I'm a peaceful big ole boy.

Russell was alone by this time and tangled with this dude over nothing. Not a girl, his kids, nothing. Dude probably looked at Russell wrong. All it takes/took when he's hammered.

Why I refuse to go out in the FQ with Chalmations, they are genetically predisposed to starting fights.

I don't get it man. It's just so damn easy to walk away. Argument or not, dude was just standing there and he was going to lay him out.

He wasn’t

You aren’t the brightest to be trying to fight anyone in the FQ these days.

Judging from the video he had ample opportunity to just walk away, had he done that odds are he’s at home with his kids tonight. Not to speak ill of the dead but that was a dumb move on his part.

Maybe the silver lining is his brother re-assesses that thought process.

Hopefully the truth of this situation comes to light soon. Russell was troubled but he wasn’t a piece of garbage as people are characterizing him. Hot headed? Sure, but that isn’t a death sentence in most places.

I mean, there is a video. He started a fight and was shot in the process.

Not saying he should have been shot, but what info do you have that he didn't start the fight nor walk away?

Listening to the fox report sounds like LaToya has been told people will pay for more cops but she refused to supply while they “review” - WTF
