A road rage incident that might have ben sparked by a driver cutting off another on a nearby bridge turned into a shooting that left a CFL player dead, authorities said, amid criticism the shooter was allowed to go free.
What I heard on the radio is that McKnight was beating on the window of the shooter's car while threatening bodily harm. If this is the case and has been substantiated through evidence, I can see why they released him.
However, it appears that the shooter himself may have been justifiably shot a few years back when he was physically assaulting another driver.
My advise, don't start threatening another person while you are pissed off.
Hopefully, there is some surveillance footage somewhere showing the incident.
Right now, we don't know the facts. It's mostly speculation.
Just because someone is initially released does not mean they will not be charged but this is murder and people have the right to be upset if in the end those charges are not filed.

You have no idea if this is murder. It could be self defense. We don't have all the facts in.
usually that's how it goes when it comes to blacks getting killed by no-blacks...
"Let's just wait for the facts"
No it's not. That's just you falsely playing the race card. Nothing to do with race, everything to do with getting the facts in order to make an informed decision. Fools rush in.

Agreed just beating on a window isn't reason to shoot. Why comment when you don't know.
The shooter was inside his car. He was under no threat of being killed.
The shooter sitting in his car has no bearing except that he doesn't have a way out. You don't know if there was or wasn't a threat. It hasn't been confirmed if the window was up or down or if McKnight was even beating on it.
I don't understand why much hasn't been released as well as why the shooter was released.

Every time I drive on the roads there is a threat.

In this era of fast but crappy news reporting, waiting for facts is the only intelligent approach to take.
Anytime someone tries to rush you to agree with them and not get all the information and then results to disgusting name calling and cries of racist you know they're up to no good or have a screw loose.
Sooo, just like the thread in the current events forum where lots of rabid racists were calling everyone else racist for wanting to get more facts you can all just go pound.

If I'm trapped and there is a dude beating on my window to get to me while saying he's going to beat me within an inch of my life, he is going to be shot until I no longer feel threatened.
Anybody violently beating on your window is a serious threat to your safety. You might just get a busted lip. You might get a broken jaw. You might get brain damage. You might be killed. Those nights are greatly reduced after the introduction of lead.

Sure he was. Do you need a news story of a person drug from their car and killed?

The "Race Card" as you call it is just in the head of me, for goodness sakes, I have no idea why.
No, I don't get the theme of your post, it lacks logic.
You seem to never stop thinking about race. What does it even matter here?
