Sometimes people do stupid **** in the heat of the moment, and not realize it until after the fact. And they just accept the consequence of their split second stupid decision they just made.
Very True

If that's the case, he should do time. "Witnesses" also claimed Mike Brown had his hands up when officer Wilson shot him....
I would think if the shooter pulled him out of the car (unlikely being that McKnight is likely much, much stronger than he is), shot him and shot again while he was on the ground, he wouldn't have stuck around for cops to show up?
Sometimes things happen that you would have never believed could/would happen. For instance the Avondale incident where 500 shots were fired by the police in a neighborhood. It happened! And they only hit the guy 3 times!
500 shots? Where are you hearing that?
That is what the Sheriff said in the press conference.
They just released Gasser.
Multiple other witnesses say they saw the driver of the Infiniti sedan pull McKnight from his Audi before allegedly shooting him
500 shots? Where are you hearing that?
We need some video
Agreed, they make sound like a gang land assassination... Pulled him out the car and shot him... Whatever, there's way more to this.
My thoughts too. If you read/listen to media reports and information people are considering "facts", you would think this is a hit in broad daylight.
Pulls McKnight out of the vehicle, shoots him, stands over him and shoots him again then proceeds to yell at the dead/dying McKnight.
Obviously LE officials did not get the same story, or this guy would have been charged.
I wonder if all current witnesses are saying the same thing or if anyone is corroborating the shooters story?
I've seen only a single witness report that stated that, and that report came from a anonymous witness giving that information to NOLA.com.
EDIT: I feel if multiple witnesses corroborated that story, this guy would still be in custody and have charges.
It's almost like the cops got the footage from the traffic cam and already know what actually happened. Sounds like Gassy did the smart thing... STFU and LTFU. (L is for lawyer)
Regardless of what went down, such a sad event that never needed to happen.
It's crazy how fast people go from normal driving to road rage...I was doing 40 in a 35 when I came up behind a guy doing 20 in the 35 (he was looking down at his phone the entire time i saw him)...I positioned my car to where he could see me in his side mirror...I wasn't riding his tail but he could tell I wanted him to go...so he slams on his brakes and jumps the street side curb to pull over and stop...so I just get in the left lane and go on past...he pulls off the curb and goes full throttle and rides my tail for a few hundred feet until he backs off.
And I'm thinking - Dude, if you would have drove that speed to begin with (and got off your phone), you wouldn't even be mad right now.
