Joe McKnight Murdered In Road Rage Shooting

[Across The Field]

Happened in New Orleans where ex NFL DE Will Smith was shot in a road rage incident under similar circumstances like a year or so ago.

Yeah I know, that was also an extremely sad situation.

I remember playing with him on the old NCAA 06 (or 07?), damn he was good

They have released the shooter:

Joe McKnight -- Shooter Released from Custody ... No Charges Filed

This leads me to think McKnight must have instigated the incident leading to his death. Sadcwhen shit like this happens. In college my buddy chased a guy forc20 miles who cut him off in Minneapolis. Was driving up beside the guy acting crazy. Guy flashed a gun through the window and my friend backed off but I could easily see someone shooting first and asking questions later if they think their life is in danger. Kind of surprised it doesn't happen more often actually

So obviously this guy is claiming self defense. Wonder if there are any witnesses to corroborate the shooter's claims.

They've said Joe didn't have a gun. How else would he claim self defense?

Don't know. Another type of weapon or physical threat? There's obviously something else to the story.

I thought they said a witness saw him get out to apologize and that it was the other guy who instigated.

Wow. Hadn't read that. Somethings fucky here.

The TMZ account makes it sound like an execution.

Well TMZ ain't exactly the New York Times.

They've done a pretty good job on stories like this in recent years though.

Somebody had to have a camera phone. They always do.

Exactly. Not relying on it completely, but it is pretty chilling if true.

Looks like we've got another Zimmerman.

Obviously not exactly the same, but that stand your ground shit is so stupid.

 

[Superdeluxe]

Take with a grain of salt, but someone suggested the shooter is an ex police officer. That could just be internet rumbling though

Guns are for pussies.

Could be. Could also be a Mike Brown type of situation with lying witnesses. Or could be neither and something completely different.

Yep. But when you introduce a gun into the situation as a citizen, your excuse better not be "I thought he would overpower me and take my gun, so I shot him"

 

[Brasky]

I'mma stop speculating now.

Same.
