Killing an unarmed man should and apparently will get you 30 years.


If you are going to shoot an unarmed guy, he better be whipping your arse before you do it. Doing it in the middle of an intersection in broad daylight while you are safe in your 4,000 pound metal box. THAT will get you convicted.

This just isn’t true. The cars were 24 inches apart if I remember correctly. Evidence proves Joe’s hand was in the vehicle when he was shot.

Sure, he could have been scared but there was something between him and McKnight


Did the defense not argue that the defendant feared McKnight had a weapon?

If someone angrily blocked me in and walked up to my window, I would certainly be alarmed and looking for a weapon. As would any cop.

30 years seems like a lot for shooting someone that is threatening you.

Wrong on both accounts. You need to revisit the evidence.

I sat through the entire trial. The only reason Joe had room to bend over in that small space between cars is because his door was open and his car was slightly forward of gassers. There was blood spatter on the inside of the passenger door as well.

Your passenger window? With a ladder in the car between you and the other party?

Attorneys for Ronald Gasser filed a motion Monday (March 26) asking the court to reconsider his 30-year sentence for the road rage shooting death of former NFL player Joe McKnight.
