I would like to comment on the race aspect of this. When this road rage started it very well may have had nothing to do with race. But as soon as this happened it became ALL about race. But the black community and the SJWs insisted he be arrested.
Like someone said before if it was two white men no arrests would have even been made. I agree. I think if McKnight was white, Gasser would have shot him just the same. But since a black man was shot, the black community has bought the myth of black people's lives are not considered valuable by white society. And if a black person gets killed by a white man, it must be racism. Just like Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie White, Alton Sterling, etc, etc, etc. And just like those cases, if Gasser is found not guilty, black people will claim it is just another example of injustice by way of a racist white system. Don't get me wrong, it appears Gasser is a hothead who is too immature and irresponsible to handle his emotions. And he is always blaming others for his own problems. But, McKnight should have stayed in his car. |

Or blacks and liberals do see it that way but just will not admit it because it don't fit their agenda. |

A white guy shot and killed a black guy in Gretna, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. Black guy is a local football star who played in the NFL. Both were involved in road rage incident leading up to shooting. White guy claims black guy drove up on the shoulder of the road to trap him in traffic, threatened him verbally, got out of his car and entered white guy's car. White guy claims it was self-defense. Police let white guy go home the night of the shooting. But were later pressured by black community to arrest and charge white guy. www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2018/01/gasser_trial_starts_mcknight.htmlI take it this is one of those stories that has absolutely nothing to do with race and just a road rage incident where one guy is white the other guy black? You mean a white zombie (Trumpee) going on a rampage lashing out at anyone who isn't white and Republican. |

Or blacks and liberals do see it that way but just will not admit it because it don't fit their agenda. I cannot understand it either. I still have a hard time excepting so many people --- black and white --- still think Michael Brown was murdered unjustly. Same goes for all the other poster children for Black Lives Matter. These people don't realize they are the racist. I believe the term is "reverse racism". |

No. The law says if somebody enters your car in a threatening manner, you have the right to use deadly force. Just like your house. Gasser said McKnight leaned into his car. McKnight's blood was found inside Gasser's car. Leading police to believe it was lawful self-defense. And Louisiana is a stand your ground state. No lawful requirement to flee a threat. Whether he was telling the whole truth or not is open to question. How do you live in such a retarded state? Nice food, awful people. This is symptomatic of a much deeper problem with society that I encountered the other day. Mainly that society no longer has it together enough to determine who's turn it is to go at a 4 way stop sign. Which ultimately means that we will end up having to replace all the stop signs with traffic lights because people have gotten to where they can't handle personal autonomy without getting into trouble. It is called a "stop sign" for a reason, it is not a pause sign. Meaning that if there is anyone else at the intersection then the vehicle to the left goes first in a clockwise pattern, meaning that you wait for it to be your turn to go. Crossing the intersection out of turn can lead to traffic accidents and / or road rage. |

If all vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle to the RIGHT goes first. |

You said you wanted to know what happened in this case Flying Monkeys. Well, here is the latest. Testimony is still proceeding. Today, a person testified he had a preceding road rage incident with the defendant. He said he saw a truck driving erratically. He called the number on the bumper sticker, "1-800 how's my driving?" The defendant (Gasser) answered the phone and was driving the truck. Gasser starting screaming and cursing him out. The witness hung up. He stopped at a gas station to get fuel. Gasser walked up to him with fist balled and threatened him. The witness said he had to put up his fist to defend himself. That's the latest. Thanks. Okay, so the prosecution is trying to paint the defendant as a hot head shit, but as Ayatollah says, that has nothing to do with this and is not evidence of what happened here. I still think acquittal. If the prosecution is already gong for character witnesses rather than ballistics and forensics, that says to me they have nothing. Please keep the updates coming. Okay Flying Monkeys, here is the latest. The jury retired to the jury room to hopefully decide the case. Both the prosecution and defense are finished presenting their cases. Gasser did not testify. Most people think Gasser will be found not guilty. Because McKnight left his car and entered Gasser's. Some people think he will be found guilty. Because he claimed self-defense. But, how could Gasser claim he feared for his life when he admitted he turned off on Gen. DeGalle just to pursue McKnight? He wasn't even going that way. People don't voluntarily chase somebody they are afraid of for 5 miles through heavy rush hour traffic, traffic lights and turns. They finding Gasser guilty would be based on Gasser going out of his way to chase McKnight. |

BREAKING NEWS !!! Ronald Gasser (white) was found guilty of Manslaughter (3rd degree murder) in the murder case against him for killing Joe McKnight (black). "the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder." www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2018/01/ronald_gasser_joe_mcknight_tri.htmlNo details about the verdict have been released other than what is in the above article. But the detail from the investigation and trial that got me was "Gasser said he got off the GNO/Westbank Expy on the Gen. DeGalle exit just to pursue McKnight. Otherwise, he would normally stay on the Westbank Expy." Like I said in the other thread, Gasser said, in accordance with the law, he feared for his life when he shot McKnight. Who gets off at a different exit to follow somebody --- for 5 miles through heavy rush hour traffic, traffic lights and turns --- that they are supposedly afraid of? In case anybody is wondering; 1rst degree murder - premeditated murder 2nd degree murder - crime of passion (your wife makes you so mad you kill her in a rage) 3rd degree murder - no intent or premeditation (guilty person is engaging in wreckless, irresponsible behavior that results in the death of another) Jury deliberated for seven and a half hours. Gasser could have gotten a life sentence if found guilty of 2nd degree murder. The most he can get now is 40 years. What do you think? |

I think if he would have got off the blacks would have rioted and burned the city. And to hell with the evidence and justice. |

And some lunatic would have driven in from out of town and executed police. This very thing happened when police rightfully killed Alton Sterling. Alton Sterling had a gun, wouldn't let go of it when police told him to, wouldn't turn around and put his hands behind his back, and fought with police. Same reason police kill white guys. But Black Lives Matter doesn't care about white criminals getting killed by police. Only black criminals. |
