    Default Road Rage -New Orleans: Former NFL Player Killed, Suspect Released

    Anyone see this yesterday?

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/12/02...m-custody.html

    Yesterday, initial reports were that the random guy and the football player got into a road rage thing which ended in the random guy supposedly standing over the football player and yelling at him while shooting him several times as the football player was trying to apologize...

    Now today the random guy is released. Surprising I suppose, given the initial accounts, but now I already see people crying racism and how guns are bad. I am actually wondering if both parties here will turn out to be black since usually the media tries to sensationalize this type of situation and make sure it is known that the random guy is white, so far that has not happened.

    Either way, it sounds like the police saw through the accounts of the so called witness at this point, but the left is going to jump all over the slivers of reports that fit their agenda. Be interesting to hear the facts of this story when they come out.

    White dude wasn't charged that's probably why it's not all over the news.

    Huh?

    Random guy being white and released is why I figured this would be all over the MSM. Why it is not yet is beyond me. MSM is notorious for running with partial facts to rile up the crowd. Just read some off the comments in the news links. Everyone is taking the witness accounts for the facts except the people who are doing the investigation.

    I heard a blurb about this over my morning OJ. I heard he was killed, shooter stayed on scene, handed over his gun, etc. I figured based on those facts alone, the shooter was justified or felt justified.

    Let me guess, someone assaults somebody the street, gets shot in return. Press tries to create a crime by gun owner. More sensationalism. I just read the headlines anymore. If I start assaulting someone on the street, I expect the possibility that I can be shot. Ex NFL player wins Darwin Award.

    So far there are not enough facts known by the public or media to make any real judgement of who started what or is at fault. All we have is one guy is dead due to gun shot wounds, and the other guy has talked to police and has been released.

    Combine this thing with the Charleston verdict that is about to drop as not guilty, and I suspect we are in for a night of riots somewhere in the next day or two.

    Latest news states that the shots were fired from the drivers seat, and the dead guy was at the passenger window. 3 casings were still in the car. Moral of the story, don't be an intimidating jackass, you may be shot.
