Joe McKnight's killer released without a charge
- Thread starter Mack1052
- Start date
He is still gonna be labeled a hero in the racist cac community.Had this guy been an off-duty police officer he probably would be labeled as a "hero to the law enforcement community"
This why I got a big problem with the kumbyaa ass mindset we as a whole have when it comes to shit like this
Dude in the video didn't do shit he later did an interview saying he forgives dude and all that fuck that friendly ass shit!!!
Roles reversed he would've smoked your black ass!!!
At minimum CAC walk all up on my car like that he getting a quick Jab to the nose!
But there's also reports of him standing above Joe and shooting him again. Do you think that's self defense?
read this online somewhere
I think under that "stand your ground" law, the initial shot pardons him. It's the kill shots while he's on the ground is what makes is manslaughter/2nd degree murder
The sheriff said all three shots were fired from inside of the vehicle..
The witness was lying
The sheriff said all three shots were fired from inside of the vehicle..
Right...... It always seems that in black and whites incidents the black witnesses are always lying unless their statements benefit the white bitch. i.e Mike Brown.
They need to bring the witness to the forefront. Let them make an on the record, under oath statement about exactly what they saw and if they're telling the truth there needs to be further investigation by an independent party. If the witness is lying there should be some sort of consequence, they got a lot of people real upset based on a lie.
If you're referring to the witness who supposedly said he was on the ground, there's no proof of that witness ever existing. Probably some shit started on the Internet that just caught fire. To me, this is a case of a cac just waiting for someone to run up on him. Simple as that. He's probably went through this a million times in his head.
A teen just lost his life last week running up on a cac who was talking slick. That's the shit we should focus on. How some of these cacs out here walking around looking frail but are strapped and talking reckless just hoping someone runs up on them so they can feign fear(while I bet they smiling as they shoot). That's why they are staying in their cars and crossing the street(in the case of the teen). It makes them look like they aren't the aggressors, but they really are.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment GC, the witness doesn't exist. I'm of the mindset that this story was created to further stoke the flames of hatred between blacks and whites. If you take a second to critically look at what's going on people will realize FUD(fear, uncertainty, doubt) tactics are in full force. The racial tension is palatable across the country. Hillary Clinton lost some practically all white suburbs in swing states that Obama carried in 2008 and 2012. The BLM movement has actively alienated their white supporters at numerous rallies. Plenty of white people do not agree with a lot of the government/police encroachment on their civil rights. There are tons of videos on Youtube where white dudes are basically telling the police to go fuck themselves. If some media savy types were to craft a more inclusive message you'd see far more progress on this matter. BLM is being funded by rich people with an agenda. Stories where white men are standing over black men will continue to be sensationalized by the media.
Nothing will change because we'll all be too busy fighting each other, while meanwhile our pockets are getting picked clean.
i feel sick
The plot thickens. So the guy that raised McKnight is a former deputy in that same parish that he got killed in. Interesting......
The Purge is underway people. Stay focused. Nobody out here playing but us.
Well, we're talking about different things. Dealing with the cacs who are trying to lure folks like Charles Bronson is an issue. I've never encountered one, but I know they are out here. Those creatures are planning moves in advance. That needs to be an issue we address instead of trying to worry about why they aren't being arrested. They are operating within the law. They plan this shit. They the same type cacs probably putting in a lot of work at the range.
As for BLM, SOME have alienated white people. Never got how running up on random white people would solve any fucking thing. But then again, I don't get how folks on the other side make Colin's protest about the fucking troops. Every time a cac looks past the real reason for the Colin protest, it's alienating.
Sure, there are cacs pissed at police, but the gap in race relations just seems too big to overcome. Team blue -- team system -- has folks from both sides operating within its ranks.
Sigh....and so it starts.

Man says Joe McKnight's shooter spat on him during 2006 road rage incident, newspaper reports
A 61-year-old Marrero man said Ronald Gasser, the alleged shooter of football player Joe McKnight, spat at and tried to punch him during a road rage altercation in 2006, according to the Daily Mail. Gasser was cited for simple battery in the incident, which happened at the same intersection where he admitted to shooting dead McKnight last Thursday (Dec. 1), but the charge was ultimately dropped, authorities said.
Gasser fatally shot McKnight, a former NFL player and local high school standout, at the end of a road rage incident in the Terrytown intersection of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard, authorities said. Gasser, who shot McKnight three times, was released without charges Friday, pending results of an investigation.
Speaking to the Daily Mail in a story published Sunday, Marrero resident John Shilling, 61, said that he spotted Gasser in a red truck driving "irate and crazy" on the Crescent City Connection in 2006. Shilling said he called a number listed on the side of the truck and told the man who answered -- who turned out to be Gasser himself -- about the erratic driver.
"I said you're driving like a fool," Shilling said, according to the Daily Mail. "He sees me on the phone and realizes it's me."
Shilling then pulled over at a gas station at the intersection of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard, the same location where Gasser admitted to shooting McKnight during a road rage incident last Thursday. Outside the vehicle, Shilling said Gasser exited his truck and spat at him, the Daily Mail reported. Shilling then said Gasser tried to punch him a few times.
According to a news release issued by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office last Friday, authorities alleged that Gasser confronted Shilling in an argument at the gas station and "and began to strike him with a closed fist several times." Shilling then called police.
The news release says Gasser was issued a misdemeanor summons for simple battery related to the altercation with Shilling, who court records show was listed as a witness in a "Final Record" of the incident. The charge was ultimately dismissed by the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office but will be reviewed again now, the news release said.
Shilling declined to speak with NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune at his home in Marrero on Sunday evening. He said only that he had spoken once with Sheriff Newell Normand and planned to do so again soon
As of Saturday night, no charges had been brought against Gasser, who was released Thursday night by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office after questioning. The decision to release Gasser without pressing charges has prompted outrage on social media and led to questions about Louisiana's stand-your-ground law.
In recent days, McKnight's family members, friends, teammates and supporters have expressed grief and outrage over the killing. At a candlelight vigil held Saturday night at the Lincoln Manner Gym in Kenner where McKnight first made a name for himself as a high school football standout, around a dozen speakers expressed anguish over the road-rage-prompted fatal shooting.
"It was senseless," U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune at the vigil. "You're in a car with the ability to drive away, with the ability to roll your windows up, and you feel the only choice you have is to shoot three times? I can't comprehend that."
Meanwhile, Gasser's family and friends have likewise expressed shock over the shooting, claiming the outburst of violence alleged by police appeared to come out of nowhere. An old friend said he had no idea Gasser even owned a gun, despite the close quarters he and Gasser kept while the friend lived and worked together with Gasser in Terrytown a few years ago.
That friend -- who requested not to be named out of concern for his safety and professional reputation -- said he lived with Gasser at his home in Terrytown for several years until 2014, when the friend left Louisiana to pursue business opportunities in California, he said. During that time, he and Gasser ran a telecommunications business together. The two go back 10 years, the friend said, to when he and Gasser built IT infrastructure for hospitals in Arizona and Las Vegas.
Speaking with NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Saturday, Gasser's friend described his former business partner and housemate as a hard worker and deliberate thinker.
"Really smart guy, really thoughtful," Gasser's friend said. "Really puts a lot of time into thinking about his decisions. You could always see he was thinking. That was kind of the allure to go into business with him."
Gasser's friend said he never witnessed Gasser get angry to the point of violence.
"I've never seen him angry in that manner," he said. "Ron's not the kind of guy who would just get out and start shooting at somebody because he's upset. That's just not the kind of guy he is."
At a Friday press conference, Sheriff Normand countered a statement from a witness at the shooting scene Thursday who said Gasser stood over McKnight and shot him three times. An autopsy conducted by the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office shows bullets did not enter McKnight's body from a elevated position, Jefferson Parish Coroner Dr. Gerry Cvitanovich said Friday.
Officers at the scene discovered spent shell casings inside Gasser's car. It's evidence indicating that Gasser could not have been standing outside his car and over McKnight when he opened fire, the sheriff said.
Normand also called false a witness statement noting that McKnight had been in the act of apologizing when he was shot.

Yup
TRUE!!
Joe McKnight's shooter, Ronald Gasser, arrested on manslaughter charge: jail records
http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2016/12/joe_mcknight_gasser_arrest.html#incart_breaking
Ronald Gasser, the man authorities say shot former NFL player Joe McKnightduring a road rage incident, was arrested Monday (Dec. 5) on a manslaughter charge, according to the jail records from Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. The move comes after Gasser originally was released after the shooting.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said it will hold a press conference Tuesday morning (Dec. 6) to give an update on the investigation. The media event is scheduled for 10 a.m. with Sheriff Newell Normand.
Authorities say Gasser fatally shot McKnight, 27, from inside his vehicle during a road rage incident Thursday (Dec. 1) at the intersection of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard in Terrytown (map). Gasser was released hours later by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office without charges, as Normand said his office was still working to investigate what happened.
Normand indicated during a press conference last week that the probe of McKnight's shooter includes consideration of Louisiana's stand-your-ground law. The law says a person does not have "a duty to retreat" when the prospect of life-threatening or great bodily harm appears imminent.
"In this state, there are relative statutes that provide defenses to certain crimes," Normand said last week. "For example, officers have those same defenses. So when we shoot and kill somebody, the question is ... it's a homicide. The question is, 'Is it justified or not?'"
The NAACP and others have pointed to the case of Cardell Hayes, who was arrested by New Orleans police and charged with second-degree murder after fatally shooting former Saints star Will Smith under similar circumstances in April. Critics have pointed to the fact that Gasser is white and Hayes is black, suggesting different treatment from law enforcement because of their race, something Normand has rejected.
The local NAACP chapter held a press conference Monday outside the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office headquarters to call for justice and transparency in the investigation into McKnight's death.
"We will not go away until this case has been resolved justly and fairly," said Gaylor Spiller, president of the NAACP's West Jefferson Parish branch. She asked to meet with Normand to discuss the case, saying there are "too many unanswered questions" which lead to "a whole lot of misunderstanding, misinterpretation."

TMZ Sports has obtained a photo of Ronald Gasser moments after he shot Joe McKnight... and the witness who took the photo says he WAS yelling at McKnight's body after the fatal shots were fired.
who spoke with NOLA.com -- says she heard the two men arguing on Thursday afternoon ... while she was visiting a nearby business. The witness says she spoke with officers at the scene and gave them her information but hasn't heard from them since.
After the shots were fired, the witness says she distinctly remembers seeing Gasser over McKnight's body ... and heard him yelling at the downed football star, "I told you I was going to f**k you up."
She says Gasser was pacing back and forth with his gun in his hand for a few moments after the shooting ... and then put the gun on the trunk of his car.
The witness says Gasser then took the gun and put it inside of his car while waiting for police to arrive.
When cops arrived, we're told he calmly informed officers the gun was inside his car and was cooperative.
We reached out to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Dept. for comment but haven't heard back -- however, officials are adamant Gasser did NOT fire a shot while standing over McKnight's body.
The JPSO says it's still investigating the case and hunting for more witnesses.
