I don't think we can omit his past incident from all this. It's relevant because it speaks to his capacity for aggression. That said, if there are no other signs of aggression on his part, then his past would not really come into play.

Shooting to keep someone from entering your car is justified based on Louisiana law. And, the evidence presented does not prove that he shot him for any other reason.
Agree.
But the caveat is that Gasser could have provoked McKnight, which gives him less legal leeway to defend his property. Fair or unfair, this is how courts interpret the law.

And how would you prove this? Cutting him off in traffic is not enough, this happens everyday, all day.

What a badass tough guy you are.
Let's just be clear, if Pete trys to enter my vehicle while I'm boxed in at a red light and I feel my life is in danger, I'm shooting Pete.
If pete tries to rob me while I'm filling up my truck at a gas station, I'm shooting Pete.
There's your warning Pete, you badass motherfricker you
Maybe one day your fantasy of being able to fire a gun at someone will be fulfilled and you'll have meaning to your life.

McKnight needed a motive to approach Gasser.

You don't follow someone, park illegally and get out of your car just because someone cuts you off. All that tells me is Joe may have had a anger problem.
ETA, you still have to PROVE it.

How much meaning are you gaining from being a socially aggrieved imbecile? Too much it seems. Maybe go do some light reading in the laws and case histories for this stuff and try again later.

It tells me Gasser egged on the situation then when it got to where he wasn't comfortable he shot McKnight. If you fear for you life because someone walks up to your passenger window, don't get involved in road rage incidents. Gasser = pussy.

LOL, Guessing doesn't cut it ! You need PROOF! problem is, right now there is NONE.
Posted on 12/3/16 at 12:20 pm to TejasPete
Gasser being a pussy doesn't matter at all, As of right now, Gasser didn't brake the law, That is all that matters. BTW, Gasser seems like a loser to me.

Who gives a frick. Hell, I get cut off almost daily. There has never come a time where my anger compelled me to think it's a good idea to jump out of my car and approach someone's car in a threatening manner. I mean really, all you have to do is apply the brake, honk your horn, and go about your business. It's definitely not a cause for aggression.
ETA: With that said, the shooter should have just driven off if possible. I've got a lot more to lose than someone that gets so angry over inconsiderate driving.
I was replying to the guy who said to "take a beating for cutting him off" instead of protecting yourself with the gun you keep in your car.

Nothing known about this event so far would tell you this. You are full of crap, can't even make an educated guess at this point until the facts are known. What problem in your life does Gasser make a target for your projections?

That's the way it appears. He was at the passenger side window when shot and was pulled from in between to render aid. Probably looking eye to eye with one another when the shooting happened.
I read one projectile hit his vertebrae. This would have dropped JM right then and there. I'm sure EMT s moved him to apply CPR.
This is a tragedy no doubt. I feel JM was in the wrong and the shooter
was in the right. Either way, it will be investigated until the DA decides on whether to charge the shooter or not.
RIP Joe.

Thanks for the ad hominem attack in the civil debate we're having.
What makes it BS or half-witted?

I've been reading this thread since its inception.
You have been backing JM to the point if I wonder you are relation to JM.
McKnight's motive for approaching the shooters car was to kick his arse. That is why the shooter was ROR and not charged. Not saying he won't be charger later, but I doubt it.

Disagree.
McKnight needed motive to approach Gasser. Gasser has a history of road rage.
This doesn't make Gasser guilty of anything, but it implies he's not as innocent as some people here would like to believe.

go look at the photos McKnight was illegally parked not in a lane past the turn lane.
Mcnight was out of his vehicle
Look at what the coroner said and where the spent casings were found.
Right before being shot Mcnight was the aggressor.

Man, give it a break for awhile. You are entirely too worked up over this. We will find out more in the coming weeks. If the DA's office in Jefferson Parish exonerates Gasser, would you accept their decision or decide to protest?
