Obligatory gun. You say this based on the fact that nearly of all the gun violence in NOLA is being committed by old white guys?

Old white guy with obligatory gun, perhaps senile... certainly a loose cannon ... at some point his brain told him it didn't give a frick anymore and he pulled the trigger bc he got wet. Happens every day in this country; folks don't bat an eye. "The price of freedom."


Why is it always about race for some of you? The fact that this guy is white plays no part in this. Aren't you the guy that used to post all of the creepy cheerleader pics? Yeah this checks out.

Which one of those crimes was he actually charged with? The only one I could find was ramming a car with his tow truck.

This would probably make the list of dumb things to be killed over. quote:

After an argument over biscuits and gravy, an Indianapolis man will be on probation for two years for recklessly killing his 22-year-old son.


How about this? Two brothers are cleaning speckled trout after a day of fishing and drinking. They are making separate piles of fillets to take home. An argument ensues over who caught the biggest fish. One brother starts to clean the the fish, apparently before it was agreed that it was "his" fish. So the other brother stabs him just below his sternum with a fillet knife. The tip of the blade came out of his back, tight next to his spinal column.

My brother worked the case and told me the story. He ended by saying, "You've pissed me off plenty of times but I've never considered stabbing you."

No, it's not abouf race, it's about GUNS and our country's unique, sick obsession with them. To hear the NRA crowd. the Pew-Pew life gunlickers talk, you're not a patriotic 'Murican unless you own a gun... bc you're weak. So I say, "obligatory" gun. Take the gun out of this situation, and one human being is still alive, the other not a murderer.

I couldn't care any less if you own a gun or not and most certainly doesn't make you weak if you don't. You see that is the difference between conservatives and liberals. You don't like guns but it is not enough for you to not own one. Since you don't like them you don't want anyone to own one or have the right to. As far as this situation. If there was no gun involved maybe he would still be alive maybe he wouldn't. You cannot factually make a comment one way or the other. Maybe Big Lee would still be alive? Or maybe the old man runs him over with his car. Would you be anti car? When will you ppl realize it is not about the gun it is about the individual with the gun. If someone is hell bent on killing someone they will do it by whatever means he has available.

I'm not from Louisiana and I don't presume to know anything about Big Lee, but nobody, no matter how big of an arse or jerk he or she may be, should have their life ended because of some sprayed water. I hope the neighbor who did this does some serious time.


So say someone spraying you with a waterhose for no reason is just the straw that broke the camels back after being constantly tormented by someone for a decade plus. Do you think YOU could put up with something like that for over 10 fricking years? I couldn’t.

Well the problem with this argument is for the most part we have only heard one version/side of the story. It seems well documented-publically, that Big Lee was an a-hole and apparently a bully, loudmouth, blowhard, bad neighbor and general all around douchebag. Old man Higgins was pushed around one too many times and decides to pop a cap on the old boy and here we are discussing it.

What we don’t know is how much has the suspect been the aggressor over the past ten years. A man, regardless of age, that will pull a gun and shoot another man over something we deem trivial at best, is at a minimum unstable and precarious. He could have been the instigator over the years and the actual shitty neighbor.

One thing for certain is we will be hearing much more about their relationship in the future.

Maybe not. I might get my hose and spray him. I might kick him in the nuts.

Insert a little maturity on the part of either and you'd have the same result.
