I love how people are trying to explain away how the couple could have done X, Y and Z to provoke the shooting - when we've seen video after video after video after video of black on white violence with zero provocation.

Yes, let's wait until all facts are in...but let's not pretend this would be an anomaly if the attack came out of nowhere.

OTOH, his social media is sweet - pretty pics of her, and of her baby, and a car. Nothing that looks "off".
ok thanks! I am very curious as to his situation, lifestyle and if it was a factor here. Was he just a regular Joe with a job, or what. Hoping more info comes out.

The only person telling this BLM story is the boyfriend. He said he pulled his gun in defense, but I wonder whether he'd have admitted to pulling a gun at all if there hadn't been physical evidence that he was shooting. It'll be interesting to see what comes out as the investigation progresses.

The whole story kind of reminds me of those women who drown their kids and say a big black man did it.

Been saying this in several posts. I vibe culpability on his part; he may've even been the intended target.

Anyone who is good at investigating, report back if you can find anything about the boyfriend's job, lifestyle etc. Will have no problem saying I'm wrong if he turns out to be Joe Average with a normal job.

Seriously, You need help...



All Lives Matter...

I will continue to say that - I work in the Medical Field. I don't choose who I save, I try and save all.

BLM is a Terrorist Group.... How many children have they killed over the 4th of July Holiday??? Innocent Black Children. Didn't their lives Matter??? Or is it just a select few?

It's all POLITICAL. NOTHING MORE...

I think one realistic scenario is that he and the other party were exchanging fire, and she was shot inadvertently. It seems like a less bizarre course of events than someone shooting her out of the blue, then the boyfriend turning around and shooting off a bunch of shots at random, as in his story neither shooters' actions makes much sense. Either way, what triggered the altercation, we only have his word about.

I'd like to see a link to this different spin. The gang thing doesn't make sense to me . I dont put murder for someone saying all lives matter past these varmints out there acting under auspices of BLM.

And it doesn't matter that the boyfriend may have pushed some buttons. It's still murder. And I am at the point with BLM and its supporters that I see violent large scale confrontation at being a foregone conclusion.
That this started verbally then escalated to guns being drawn but not used but then an ambush set and sprung has me doing the Spockian eyebrow thing.

What led up to that doesn't really matter. And this was an exchange of fire. The boyfriend fired his weapon to. The whole thing is just a cluster f.

I have suspicions he was the one who started in with the other losers, maybe to show off for the girl...or knew them... or or or....maybe he shot first...maybe he was out of his mind on dope...more details needed I tellya. Hoping a witness will either corroborate or discount his tale of events.
For now the bf's basic story makes more sense than this one in post 74: "They went out to start crap, armed, got in someone's face thinking they could flash their guns, and when they didn't, things escalated. That's the story that makes more sense."
