I think there is something wrong with the system if we let murders walk on bail only for them to get charged later. But hey, that's just how it is, right?

That probably is what happened, joe mcnight isnt lebron james, he's not someone everyone knows. This guy probably feared for his life otherwise he wouldn't have done it. Hopefully we dont get a hellbent prosecutor like the one in baltimore if charges ever do get pressed. Also Loretta lynch is bailing soon so we wont have an eric holder moment like the mike brown situation. God knows Trump and his AD wont give two shites about this. People quickly forget the hothead joe mcknight was, remember his fight with the jets coaches son a few years back? These pro athletes think they're invincible, joe got a reality check on that. I find it hard to believe this white guy just pulled up at the light, got out and executed joe mcknight for no reason at all and then hung around to tell his side of the story. The guy in 54 years had ZERO arrests.


It's kind of crazy what we deem to be punishable by death these days. Also, Joe's record consists of minor traffic violations in New Jersey.

But I agree that there is self-defense in certain situations.


It doesn't even have to be self defense.

Here's another possible scenario:

White 54 year old dude pulls up at a light and sees the big young black buck in the car next to him beating on a female passenger in his car. White guy pulls a gun and yells at black buck to stop. Black buck keeps beating the female. White guy shoots him.

Justified. Ole white boy walks.

the Advocate and NOLA.com are reporting Glasser had no criminal record



He was arrested for simple battery in Feb 2006. Charge was later dismissed. Not saying that arrest makes him capable of murder, but to say he has no criminal record is factually untrue.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. It's how are system works. I can't believe you are okay with the police keeping someone in custody that they do not have evidence is guilty. No wonder are freedoms are being eroded.

Im sorry he has never spent hard time in jail. I dont know why you conspiracy theorists always think these guys are innocent. Why on earth did this white guy just randomly get out of the car and execute this innocent black man? Why was joe mcknight even out of his car? If joe had stayed in his car would this have happened? Clearly there was a confrontation of some sorts, and it appears this guy had a gun and joe didn't but the real question is what happened to lead both to get out of their respective cars. Apparently the cops felt the guy was defending himself, sorry you feel otherwise. Sounds to me like the cops got it right.

But, you are blinded by emotion and the fear of racial issues/riots.

That's not true at all. I honestly couldn't care less if the shooter was black or white, that's not the point for me. It's more of someone shot and killed someone else in the middle of the day.

I agree with you I don't have all the facts, I'm just saying it sounds suspicious to let someone go that quick. But like all of us here, we're going to wait and see how this plays out.

You would be amazed at the number of people with no criminal record who definitely have arrests.

your entire argument boils down to,he was white so he must be innocent. Let me go back to the Dylann Roof thread, I'm sure you have some great insights there. "I'm sure that poor kid felt intimidated by that room full of elderly black people!"

What???? So by that logic you can walk up and shoot anyone committing a crime?

That's how this country works? That's the first time I'm hearing about this thing.

Our judicial system is much more fricked up than how you're simply stating it. I'm not just talking about this one isolated instance

Bail only comes after charges have been filed.They can't hold you more than 48 hours without charging you I think it is


The AD won't file charges until they believe they have a case

wtf are you talking about "what we deem punishable by death". Id like to see what you do at a stoplight when some big guy, black or white, gets out of his car and thinks he's gonna kick your arse. Are you just gonna get out and give him a hug and tell him it'll be ok? It sounds like the witnesses said joe was apologizing. Why get out of the car and apologize? It sounds like joe got out, wanted to beat some arse, then realized mister ron had a gun and had his aha moment. It doesn't work that way, you can't beat your chest like your big shite and then not face the consequences. Again the cops agreed with mr ron so its in your best interest to do so as well, this isn't gonna go anywhere, its a self defense manslaughter at best, but in no way was this premeditated murder. Ron didn't leave his home yesterday with the intention of slaying a young black man, but Im sure the don lemon and blm feel otherwise.

I feel like if I got out of my car at a stop light whilst arguing with a man and then shot him dead, I would expect to be detained.

The poster said "ZERO arrests".

Arrests and criminal record are two completely different things.

It would be a lovely world if people would actually take some interest in being correct. 90% of the time, it's really not that hard.

Except this didn't happen in a ghetto full of people sympathetic to Michael Brown. This happened at a busy commercial intersection where plenty of people with no dog in the fight watched



You've clearly never been to Ferguson. It isnt a ghetto; it's actually very similar to Terrytown.

I'm not saying McKnight was the aggressor. I'm saying that witnesses are unreliable.

The statement of this witness is already making rounds on Twitter and getting the race baiters riled up, just like the Michael Brown shooting. That was my point. This man might be guilty, but an anonymous, Uncorroborated statement to the newspaper shouldn't be what keeps him in jail during the investigation.

Releasing with no charges simply means that, at present, they don't have enough to charge him. It doesn't mean he is innocent; it means they are still investigating, finding witnesses, looking for security camera footage.


You're a law school grad; you should know this stuff.
