Attorney Lionel "Lon" Burns said 21-year-old Eddie Dingle was holding his infant daughter when a melee broke out between two groups of spectators at the parade and someone struck him in the head with a pipe wrench. When he saw someone charging at his mother, Dingle pulled out a pistol with his free hand and shot the other man dead, Burns said.
quote:
The victim takes off his shirt and comes charging at the guy who's in a daze and has the baby in his arms," Burns said Friday. "The dad, at that point, decides, 'I have to use deadly force to protect my family.' " Asked why Dingle ran from the scene if he felt he had acted justifiably, Burns said, "He and his family were not going to stay out there and be attacked."

I feel like a pipe wrench would have done more damage than that.

I'm betting there's some video of this somewhere.

That looks like a "punch me in the eye so I can make up a story" injury.

Ah the old stand your ground defense
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:19 pm to Covingtontiger77
Justified if true.
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:20 pm to Covingtontiger77
Will be interesting to see if the evidence supports his story.

It’s still illegal to have a gun anywhere around the parade routes

If true then give the guy a medal. If false, the chair.

I'd suffer those consequences if having it saved my family.

frick, I've seen a few fights break out on the parade route down St. Charles. I wouldn't doubt that happened and I don't blame the guy for shooting him. Just lucky no one shot him after that.

What's the plan for after his attorney is suspended?
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:23 pm to Covingtontiger77

Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:24 pm to Bourre
Really? Is this a parish or state law?

Idk, even if he lied about the pipe... if some dude was attacking me with my kid, even with backscratcher, it would take a measured determination whether or not he eats lead

That guy is full of shite.
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:26 pm to Covingtontiger77
If true and he was really protecting himself and family the man needs to walk.
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:28 pm to Covingtontiger77
If his story is true, I have no problem with his decision to defend his family.
Posted on 2/16/18 at 5:28 pm to Bustedsack
Justified if true.

He said Dingle defied authorities' orders to keep guns off the parade route because "we live in a very dangerous city ... where a good bit of population ... thinks nothing of hurting innocent people."
