Black man in KC charged with 2nd degree murder for shooting/killing woman that was stealing his car

[SupremexKing]

He shouldn’t have shot her.

She was not a threat, and his car is a material thing that can be replaced.

He deserves the murder charge

Should have just taken out the tires.

 

[Rekkapryde]

He’ll probably plead down.

any responsible gun owner, know that once the culprit is running or driving away; u have to stop shooting at them.

fukked up law, but it is the law.

Yeah, that's where he fukked up

 

[hex]

Dude left his car running on 59th and Troost?

Fred.

 

[levitate]

Free Him

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I’m just consistent. Shooting someone that’s running away from you is always wrong. No matter what color the shooter or victim is

 

[Wildin]

.A decent lawyer should be able to get him off.

Wrong. A decent lawyer will see that his ass gets locked up and pays out of his ass.

A great lawyer that specializes in ccw will get him off. He'd need a gofundme for that.

They have to prove he was going to die in order to justify the shooting. Anything else less than that and he's doing a bid.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Manslaughter

 

[Wildin]

if even think about running over a cop / using your vehicle as a deadly weapon then they’re fully justified to shoot so I don’t see why the same doesn’t apply here.

Umm he's not a cop. Cops get all types of privileges and benefits, usually at the expense of black folks. Never the other way around.

Not if they violated, it's not like you get training for situations like this.

 

[Umoja]

Sounds like he was fighting for his life to me

In all seriousness, he should argue that he feared for his life and the lives of others. She already assaulted him with a deadly weapon. How was he supposed to know that she wouldn't reverse the car or drive into innocent bystanders. Not like he had a long time to process the situation.

 

[Just like bruddas]

Can't take life over property. Now if she had a weapon that would be a different story

 

[loyola llothta]

Anybody got the pic of the girl

She hit him with the car.

Fred.

 

[SupremexKing]

she tried to run him over with the v...that doesn't count as a deadly weapon?

 

[Primetime21]

I'm not one of these gun nuts but the way it's described in that probable cause statement sounds like clear self defense.
