Maybe this was yet another Stand your ground case, crazy.

At what point do you think using your weapon is justified?

Just because you see things through a racial lens doesn't mean everyone else does too.

In fact, it's a pretty insulting blanket racist statement you're making.

Probably a Stand your Ground defense will be used.
Sooo, they gathered evidence took their time to make a proper case and have now charged the guy.

I think the people calling others racist for wanting a proper investigation to take place look like fools.

Based upon the full story and evidence it looks to be the right decision.

People are idiots all over. Except of course where I live and we're just better than others....

People are regularly attacked during such incidents, and they are even killed.

If you want to go ape poop on someone over a traffic incident, you might want to stay out of Texas. If I feel me or my family may be in danger from you while you are going bonkers beside my car, there is a very good chance you'll need some soft metal removed from your torso.

Many people here feel that way.

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.
This post is so ridiculous. He's an ordinary American man. He coached high school sports which weren't going on at the time of the shooting. For all you know, he could have made enough money to do whatever in the world he felt like. I can't believe people are so okay with crazy people owning a gun and a black man being dead, that they'd say not working an ordinary 9-5 job opens you up to being shot to death. WTH!!

And if you're a scared little man who can't remain calm, can't maneuver your car out of the way or can't call 911 while locking your doors....then don't own a gun. Plus what you're saying is pure speculation.

Amen to that.

And if you're an emotionally fragile man who feels compelled to leap out of the car and threaten people, then you are headed for trouble.

To your previous post about KcKnight being a coach:
#1 He doesn't have a college degree, so he can't be hired by most schools.
#2 Do you want your kid being influenced by someone who flies off the handle and threatens other people in traffic?

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.


Almost all of the above is wrong. Completely wrong.
The "witnesses" lied.
(For one, all three cartridge casings were found inside Gasser's car.)

Gasser has been charged with manslaughter.
