Right now this is all speculation until the facts are identified. Remember the Michael Brown shooting, they all thought the cop shot him with his hands up which many so called witnesses claimed. Then evidence came in that Michael Brown was caught on video beating and robbing a nearby store which the cop that came found him that matched the description.

I do know that I tend to get a bit of road rage sometimes but I wouldn't shoot someone unless I felt I was being threatened. So I suspect there is conflict between the 2, we just don't know yet.

One does not walk up to a road rage driver unless he is going to confront him with a verbal or physical assault.

If the guy came up to me and threatens me, I might have to shoot him if he tries to break my car window or door.

Where are the facts?

Give us the exact facts of the case since you believe you know them.

This one is an athlete but this whole thing started with another absolute lie that he was shot while apologizing and on the ground? A complete lie

Why is it always the microscopically small white on black shootings that stir protests , between 90-93% of the murders of black males were at the hands of other black males but no protests ? only with the microscopic killing of black males by whites or the police.

Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.
The black people who aren't killing each other are the ones protesting black lives matter. How is it fair to shame the ones protesting because of the ones that kill each other? We can't stand on every rough neighborhood and wait for a murder to happen to prevent it. But what we can do is start a positive movement and stand together against injustices and pray that the ones killing each other will come to their senses and join the quest for change.

According to the media outlets:

The victim was trying to apologize.
A witness saw him try to apologize.
The victim did not have a weapon.
No weapon was found in the victim vehicle.

The perpetrator shot the victim multiple times.
The perpetrator stood over the victim, shot him again and said "I told you don't f**k with me".
The perpetrator had a weapon in hand when cops arrive.
The perpetrator stayed on scene and was allowed to turn his weapon over to the cops.
The perpetrator was released from jail without being charged with anything.

I am dying to read someone justify this. What? We should wait to all the evidence comes out? WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? Any threat, if he was being threatened, may have been imposed on the perpetrator was neutralized once the victim began to apologize. According to the media outlets, the witnesses confirmed this. There was no threat when the perpetrator stood over the victim, after shooting him, and shot him again.

Go ahead, tell me this is fair.

Let's start with the first one.

Are you saying it is a FACT that McKnight was apologizing?

I believe that LA has a carjacking law that covers this.

People carry on as if Joe McKnight was the last chance for world peace.

Fact is, if he had finished college and gone to work he probably would have been too busy to be out driving around on an ordinary Thursday and would not have started the altercation which cost him his life.

What happened was a tragedy. And it had 2 participants.
Glasser was carrying a gun and it's going to cost him a whole lot more than it saved him. Not the first time I've seen that.

Gasser has been arrested and charged with manslaughter.

Authorities say all shots were fired from within the car.

Probably a Stand your Ground defense will be used.

And you know the traffic situation would have allowed him to drive off because... ??
He had zero justification for pointing a gun and pulling the trigger, no matter what the guy was yelling, what kind of hee haw sh1t is this? Is this the way it is in the southern US?
