The guy who was shot is interviewed a few posts down in the twitter feed. He said he was protecting people after punching the driver in the face and running after his car.

I like most people here judge based on a person’s character and actions, not their skin color. There have been LSU players that were/are outstanding people and there have been some that have been scumbags. There’s no broad brush, either/or.
Your attempt to somehow tie negative opinions about all this insane anarchistic bullshite to LSU players is pathetic and stupid.
Further, the disgusting social mob mentality that has taken over this country (for now) is such that many high profile people cannot voice their true opinions lest they be viciously attacked and their lives threatened, so I try to weigh that when considering the actions of such people.
I mean we are almost literally living in Orwell’s 1984 with Thought Police and stifling of free speech. But we see now that progressives don’t give a frick about free speech, only speech that suits them.

I'm not sure what video yall are watching, but he didn't speed up until some the guy jumps on the side of his car and others start throwing shite at the car. He then rolls to a controlled stop (he never got going fast in the first place) at the intersection where a violent mob surrounds his vehicle and starts assaulting him through his window.
I see nothing there that would make me believe he was trying to use his vehicle as a weapon and shooting the guy was 100% justified as self defense.

Such a great story. He was so afraid for his life he got out of his car and just walked straight into that angry mob who was going to kill him.

this 100%....plus if he was really looking to barrel through the crowd and had intentions run people over...why would he have his window down? He sped up because a 6' 250lb black dude starting chasing after him trying to get into his car then punches him in the face

He had the upper hand at that point and he had to go somewhere to get away before more violence was caused.
What do you think he should have done?

I just downloaded it and watched it slow motion. You’re exactly correct. There is no barricade seen further down the street where he came from. He was driving normally until that attacks began.
When the thug ran him down and started hitting him he hadn’t even done anything remotely dangerous, he was just driving somewhere that they didn’t think he should be. There was no legal barricade to the street that can be seen.

Until he fired a warning shot into the arm of the aggressor...
They would have mud-checked his arse if he didnt have that gun

Plus, why do that in a small compact car? Go rent a Uhaul van or truck if that was your goal.

I’ve got no problem with him shooting the dude. That’s also why I asked if there was more info. He was obviously afraid for his life from that one guy. But everyone saying he was so afraid of this mob just makes me laugh. If he was truly afraid he would’ve taken off in his car through them. Instead he just gets out and walks off casually.

The driver was obviously trying to get somewhere and got caught up in the protest and had his gun because of the unstable atmosphere...doesnt seem like the street was legally barricaded. He could have just been lost and was trying to get out of the area, made a wrong turn then the mob turned on him

This goes to further show he had no intention to cause mass damage. He was just looking to get away and not cause more damage.

I think this may be the first thing you and I have ever agreed upon Posted on 6/8/20 at 10:36 am to HogBalls
Looks like self defense to me. Had a brick into the windshield and a guy attacking him through the window while others pound on his car.
In a normal world, he goes free.

Are you fricking kidding me? that wasnt walking away causally He was fricking frantic then starts looking for an escape route then as he finds one he starts running away

God dammit, what do people expect?! You can't just behave like fricking animals and not think people are going to defend themselves.

Obviously.
I have seen more people here in Louisiana open carrying since all of this started. I bet more people are prepared in areas where riots are actually happening so the narrative of him having a gun looking for a fight is stupid. He was just prepared to defend himself and was put into a situation where he had to do just that.
