[iseetrolledpeople]

Back in May 2016, a shooting at Irving Plaza at T.I’s concert left Troy Ave’s security guard dead.

Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was killed after a dispute between Taxstone and Troy Ave went wrong. The incident happened at Irving Plaza at T.I’s concert and left four others injured.

In 2017, Taxstone was indicted for the murder of Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave’s bodyguard “Banga.”He pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a felon.

Taxstone’s murder trial is slated to begin in front of a jury on November 12, 2019.

All of this because one scary ass dude that doesn't know how to fight, started to taunt the wrong person.

these places need better security
if these guys dont get guns into irvin plaza or the barclays for the 69 situation, your lookin at a bunch of scuffles.
instead we got ppl who died and ppl who are going to jail for life

There were countless witnesses in that room, not to mention probably surveillance footage that hasnt been released to the public. I seriously think that Tax is only gonna sit down for the dirty gun charge, I cant see him being the aggressor in that murder situation, why would he be? Makes no sense. He probably got pressed, possibly attacked, and then opened fire in self defense. We will see tho

It's been pretty much confirmed that Banga was the aggressor. However there's no self-defense in New York at least not with a gun.

Didn’t he get like 12 years for the gun charges.

Pleading to a murda is pretty much life only chance is to lie and say Troy shot him

Since when?? I lived in NYC for 20 years, that "Castle Doctrine" shyt was intact for as long as I can remember, I dont know how it works now in a public venue tho. Not to mention they were in a tightly crowded room and retreating probably wasnt even possible at the time

I don't believe he got sentenced to the gun charge.

Castle Doctrine is defending your home and even in New York it's a hard defense to make. The self defense doctrine your probably referring to is "stand your ground" which New York doesn't have.
