Skillet, it's all on page 1. You're welcome



1st page isn't very helpful. Maybe Gris Gris can help.

Who 1st initiated the road rage by cutting someone off?

Was the guy that shot Joe, threatened by Joe? Obviously he was, to be set free.

Was Joe an outstanding citizen these days?

What's the history on the shooter?

He has a prior charge for road rage from 10 years ago, I believe. It was dropped.

Crazy part is that the shooters Simple Battery charge stemmed from a road rage incident ten years ago AT THAT SAME INTERSECTION.

We don't know yet.

Based on his release, I think we can assume this was the case. They're asking for any additional witnesses to come forward.

Supposedly getting prepared for a try out later this month or something. Not sure of any run-ins he's had with the law in quite some time.

Simple battery charge for a fight that took place at a gas station after a road rage incident in Feb 2006. That station was at the same intersection where he ultimately shot McKnight. Pretty insane coincidence.

Was the plural unintentional?

Was he unable to drive away when McKnight approached his car? Was he blocked in some way?

He may have been perfectly within his rights to shoot, but I would have just driven away in that situation, even if armed. Unless there was traffic or other cars in the way, making this impossible.

The girl who used the false statement should be charged with inciting a riot. That's exactly what she was trying to do

Red lights do sometimes slow you down. Your experience may vary.

Thanks for being a smartass and still not answering my question. A red light itself does not slow or stop anyone. I'm not familiar with that intersection and if it would have been impossible for him to just go straight or turn, to avoid the confrontation.

It may not be an important questions regarding the legality of the shooting, but it's important regarding whether the dude is an a-hole.

He was the 2nd car in line at the light. He couldn't really go anywhere.

With McKnight shot in the hand, I wonder if part of Glasser's statement is going to be that McKnight was trying to get his gun?

The confrontation occurred at a traffic light. I would assume, based upon the shooter's car's position that he was stopped at the red light. He was in the right lane. The person shot had parked their car to the right of his car - not in a traffic lane. It's not apparent he would have had anywhere to go. Was there traffic crossing in front of him? How long did he have to react? We don't know yet.

I think you're trying to make something out of nothing. Maybe he was blocked in. Maybe he was the first car in the line. If he was the first car in line, you're saying he should have potentially broken the law and/or cause issues with other citizens passing in traffic to avoid a confrontation. Maybe run a redlight and put himself and others in danger. If this was simply walking away from a fight outside a bar, I'd understand your point completely, but we can't assume him to just jet out of traffic to avoid a confrontation when he's being threatened.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm just asking if he could have. Apparently, he was blocked in and could not have. That answers my question. Carry on.

For those saying just drive away, you understand that he tried that for several miles right? I still want to know if he called 911 when he was being followed. That would tell me he was definitely scared for his life (not saying he wasn't when he shot if he didn't).

McKnight had a history also. Maybe not road rage but got into many scuffles.

So, the Audi was on the right and the Infiniti was on the left. Owe re, based on the pic the body was in between the cars so he was shot through the passenger's window?

We don't know this yet. For all we know, Gasser could have been the initial provoker on the CCC or afterwards, especially considering Gasser had a prior incident at the same intersection the shooting took place.
