re: McKnight shooter released from custody...Cliffnotes of Normand press conf inside

Witnesses have never lied.

Shooter had to have a dash cam or something to show what happened for him to be released that quick

Again if this was so cut and dry, why not toss gasser in jail, appease the soon to be protestors, and just throw a 1st degree murder charge at him. Is it possibly bc there is nothing to do when a man defends himself? How could any reasonable person think gasser got out of his car first to go confront mcknight? There is no chance in hell gasser got out, holding a gun, and mcknight saw that and still got out of his car to confront him anyways. Mcknight was the first man out, he was the aggressor, and gasser defended himself.

You're making all kinds of leaps without the slightest bit of evidence. Perhaps Gasser got out and wasn't holding his gun at the time, so McKnight then got out. Is that possible?

We don't know that. We DO know that Hayes exited his vehicle. We have no idea where Gasser was.


gotcha. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

i just love it how that case hasn't gone to trial yet people are soo sure that smith was 100% innocent. he was wasted drunk and some witnesses say he was the aggressor.

this case may be even more complicated but the fact that Gasser wasn't detained longer seem weird to me

I may not have made my argument if full before you posted.

Bottom line is, in Louisiana law, if you stay in your vehicle and shoot someone next to your vehicle, you are probably going to walk. If you get out of your vehicle, all bets are off. It changes everything.

sounds like McKnight pulled him out of the car then started apologizing once he realized the guy was armed? If so that still isn't self defense...it's murder.

I recommend you go read Revised Statutes 14:20, then come back and edit your post.

You are still making assumptions. The police have to go by actual evidence. Hopefully, they will release data when the investigation is over. Those that can't understand these basic concepts should not be able to vote.

its new orleans, how many crimes have been committed by men of the same skin color as joe mcknight. What do you think the average white person thinks in NEW ORLEANS when you see a young african american male like joe approaching? Do you just automatically assume he's unarmed and coming in peace. You guys are pandering right now that are saying this nonsense. This is new orleans, my god, one of the most dangerous places on the planet and you're spewing this garbage. Let me cut through the political correctness, in new orleans there is a TON of violent crime, murders were up 53% last quarter year over year, here's a link for your troubles

In new orleans, if someone approaches you after a confrontation on the road, you better assume the worst or you might be the one going home in a bodybag. Jesus, Id love to see what all you guys siding with joe would do in the same situation, at a stoplight, being approached by another man. Sip your latte and turn down the U2 on the radio, and call 911 probably waiting for him to come over and do what he pleases. It seems like ronald gasser decided to not wait and find out whether joe had a gun or not, is that right? No it isnt, guns empower people, but at the same time people have a right to defend themselves and there is no way to know how threatened he felt. Being that he's in new orleans, simply saying, I felt threated a black man was coming at my car, most in a jury from the same area would sympathize with him, knowing that most violent crimes in new orleans are committed by african americans.

That is not racist, that is just stating facts, but go ahead call me racist.

: yes id love more on how a 150 lb man pulled this nfl running back out of a car, that sounds like the most plausible story. It was actually the other way around, I believe.

You believe ? So you were a witness? Tell us more ! Since you clearly are privy to some information beyond unsubstantiated internet gossip.

Release a guy who took it upon himself to gun someone down in broad arse daylight at a major intersection into the free world. Yea nothing wrong there. Retarded.

Yea, you're not only racist but a gigantic pussy.
