Joe McKnight's killer released without a charge

The Sheriff said don't believe nothing unless its comes from the police. Only follow their evidence. He said the witness that said that is not telling the truth and there is no camera footage.

or I'm white and I said so.

Thanks bruh
 
Im just curious, where was it reported that he shot from inside the car and the shells were found inside the car?

Below. According to the coroner, he got shot 3 times and they say the casings were in the vehicle. Took one in the hand. Bet he probably put his hands up probably like 'all right...all right' when he saw the gun and the cac still shot. :smh: Fucked up. Most folks backing off once they see a gun, but these baiting cacs are out for blood -- and they know the self-defense laws. :smh:

Witnesses had heard a 'heated verbal exchange' between the two men from their cars before a 'rapid succession' of gunfire.

Three bullet casings were found in the car. An autopsy found McKnight had a wound to his hand, one to his right nipple and a third to his right shoulder which punctured a lung.

Is there anyone in the Fam with a lot of experience in gunshot wound forensics? I am a little skeptical about the conclusion that the wounds were not "consistent" with being shot from above. Sounds a bit vague to me.

Thanks for the info. I guess it's my non trust of white people but I found the press conference and when he started talking about the shells in the car, the coroner seemed to get fidgety like he was lying (he was actually fidgety for most of the conference). I'm probably reading too much into it but his body language seemed to change, started scratching is head and shit . I still think they should have held him until the investigation was over. They did it in the Will Smith case.

I remember the Will Smith case. I think I was in the minority on this board because I thought he had a reason to shoot Will. When they found the gun in the truck, it just confirmed what the witness said about Will saying he had a gun. Will was also drunk and his people were supposedly 'enhancing' the situation. They had a witness on video and he still got fucking charged.

But the shooter in that case was a big, black man. Guess he can't fear for his life like a cac, so he was quickly charged. :smh:

I'm 99.9 percent sure the cac in this case was baiting. He was just waiting for someone to respond to his nonsense. I think we have to understand that most cacs won't even say shit to us. If one is aggressive, assume that it is armed or that it has been training BJJ or some shit for 15 hours per week. It's a fucking trap.

I saw somewhere that he had another road rage incident in like 2006. He followed some guy to a gas station and hit him a few times. So it seems he has a history of this shit.
 
ESPN

"But McKnight landed in the doghouse amid a turbulent training camp in 2013. He flunked the team's conditioning test, blaming dehydration; he was arrested in New Jersey on outstanding traffic violations on an off day; he missed practice time with what the team characterized as a "head injury" and McKnight later called a concussion; and he got into a war of words with a fan on Twitter, suggesting they meet for a fight."

so ESPN is diggin into mcknight's' troubled spots and yet nothing on the killer's history? right ,okay
 
How do you know the person who ran up on your car is unarmed? After you've shot him do you leave the scene or wait for the police? You've decided to wait for the cops, how do you know the guy you shot is no longer a threat? Is he gonna pop up on you and shoot while you're waiting?

Suppose you had your kids in the car, what would have done then? Suppose some dude rolled up on wifey and the kids like that but you weren't there, what would you hope she did?

Are we mad cause dude used to play football? Are we mad cause dude was unarmed? Are we mad cause another white dude is going to get away with killing a black dude? Was this situation easily avoidable?

Was this the smart play for McKnight? Did he get out the car to invite him over for tea and biscuits?

Smarten up Nas!

You're kidding right? Do you want to have an honest discourse and try to reach a better understanding? This situation has been a wake up call for me personally. Don't get out your car! It's open season once you do. Furthermore if this were 2 black guys we wouldn't be having this conversation. You would've applauded the shooters actions.

okay ! so ure the killer's defense lawyer?, what ifs and suppose ? okay
 
Hmmm....

So you beefing in traffic with some dude with dreads(sorry y'all, dreads carry a certain perception, fairly or unfairly) who hopped out his whip and rolled up on you. You don't know this dude from a whole in the wall, he don't know you. You have no idea what he's capable of and the situation is escalating fast as a motherfucker. You got your gat with you, this is what you carry your gat for, this is what you spend hours on the range for, you are not going to "shoot a fair one". You're going to bust your gun first and ask questions later. Judged my 12, not carried by 6 all that good shit. Unfortunately(understandably) these days everything is viewed through the prism of race and cats understand how unfair the "system" can be and frustration builds up to the point unpredictable reactions. Every single white survivalist type dude(I work with a few) I know would have done the same exact thing. They live for this shit, they have dreams about this shit, they pray for these situations. You cats don't understand that there's a segment of our society who really don't give a fuck and they are actively looking for a reason to bust their gun. These cats will without provocation shoot at a cop, why don't you think they won't shoot and some random dude they arguing with. By getting out of his car McKnight gave him the opening. If you get out your car, be prepared for it to pop off. First rule of the jungle- PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES.

Plenty of dudes on bgol would've done the same thing too. Sad situation, sorry the young brother senselessly lost his life for no good reason. My days of beefing in the whip are officially over, however please don't roll up on me, it won't end nice.



should this brother have shot him and would he have gotten off?
 
If I played for New Orleans I would sit this week out ... hell all NFL players should send a message. This is one of their own.
 
First ill say RIP Joe McKnight. This is about to be a big turning point...like really a huge turning point.... This is going to show just because your a millionaire or a ball player if you are a BLACK person in this country you ARE a target. A BIG change is coming and it is going to be better for black people....coons not included.

Obviously you don't get it. If you're driving and you have a confrontation with a white guy who is talking cash money shit. Even going so far as to call you a monkey and a nigga, you'd better proceed with caution. That adrenaline and testosterone might get you killed. Buddy ain't looking to throw hands, he looking to bust a cap in your ass.

You have to be smart, you have to train your kids to be smart. The jungle isn't fair. The jungle don't care about you or me. You gotta navigate the jungle and avoid the head fake.

I will no longer get out of my car. I sat down with my sons and had a discussion with them about this case. I explained how it has changed my thinking and how inadvisable it is to expose yourself in that manner.

You can argue about the fairness all you want, but none of that will bring McKnight back. The last thing he did in his life was apologize to his eventual killer. He instinctively put up his hand to block a bullet to no avail. His killer is going to walk away scott free. If he had survived, I can guarantee you that he would never, ever hop out his car again on some road rage shit he was going to forget about in half an hour.

Young brother gone far too soon for nothing.

Nah, he shouldve hopped out the car with his strap ready to kill.

Bro, that's first, maybe if you're lucky second degree murder if you are the aggressor by hopping out the car. We're too damn prideful my dude. When push comes to shove you know what you capable of, it's just not worth it in that situation. Let mf's talk all the shit they want, when they step to you make them regret every word.

Don't be the aggressor, be the finisher.
 
I was really angry when I first came in and read the first few post. Then I saw that McKnight hopped out his car and approached the guy who then shot from inside of his vehicle and I just smh. People, we as a minority have to be smarter then this. In this situation, whether the shooter was black or white, after beefing during road rage you do not approach the other vehicle, especially when you're unarmed and even more so in a "stand your ground" state.

This is a tragedy that will probably go unpunished due to a misstep by a man who let anger get the best of him. In a world where we are the bullseye we have to calculate better. Fuck.
