If Hayes was white, then there would have been no need to wait.
But he's black so...We'll see
Cellphone video taken moments after former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith was shot dead recorded an unidentified bystander saying the athlete was the first to claim to have a gun.
The witness doesn’t name the men exchanging angry words — but he seems to accuse Smith of being the aggressor before he was killed in the Lower Garden District at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
“This guy was like, ‘Get out of the f–king car, I have a gun,’ ” the witness said allegedly of Smith in footage posted Monday by the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
“And he [supposedly then referring to suspect Cardell Hayes] goes, ‘F–k y’all, I got one, too,’ and he [Hayes] grabs a gun and shoots him [Smith] in the back. He’s dead.”
Hit and run then tell a nikka you gon shoot him brehs
This is getting more and more interesting, and less of a slam dunk murder case. While Hayes couldn't have known Smith had a gun, the fact that it was there lends credibility to the allegation that Smith threatened to shoot him. This is one of the biggest grey areas in self defense...when is your life actually in danger? Smith wasn't armed yet, but its looking like he may have been on his way to be. Does Hayes have to wait for him to get his gun and actually point it at him? Or is the threat combined with a motion to get it enough?
Missed this my bad breh
It is over [/QUOTE
@ how this story turned out.
But what if Hayes was armed first and Smith was going to his car in his own defense?
This is why people gotta stop flipping sides each time a new detail comes out.
I always wondered how many defense attorneys have used the outcome from acquitted cop cases to defend their civilian clients' violent actionHate to say it but I agree. With the information coming out I was thinking damn this dude would walk if he was a cop
But the new details provide a glimpse into the actions of a person we all were labeling as a typical, reckless, hating azz nikka. It seems like he was "justified" in his fear for his life, if his story and the witness stories are trueBut what if Hayes was armed first and Smith was going to his car in his own defense?

It ain't about being about that life, it's about being smart. Neither one of them should have let it get to the point it was taken to. Smith had his wife in the car with him and he was ready to fight at the very least over something stupidThis is what happen when you try to be a tough guy. When you're really not about that life.
Because you're going to end up running across a real one like we saw in this situation.
Either way you cut it the whole black on black crime narrative is not fitting this case but it already exposed all the super c00ns who jumped on how hayes had to be a monster and will smith was a good dude who did nothing wrong in this situation.
Talking about guns and threatening to shoot someone anywhere in america is enough for the police to kill
I feel for smith's family since he has 3 kids and a wife who have to carry on without him over a dumb decision
We all speculating at this point and we all agree that this situation escalated more than it should have. But what if he said she was coming at him, so he shot to wound her inorder to stop the threat, then how could he not avoid a charge? Especially, if he was a cop saying thisNow my source tells me Smiths wife got out the car and she escalated the situation . Not sure about this one tho.
