Hendrix fired four shots at him in the front yard as he was walking away from the house after Westbrook ignored commands to stop, identify himself and raise his hands.

Prosecutor drops charges without taking it to the Grand Jury.

This is a horror story :-(

All involved need prayers lifted up for them.

This is a tragedy but it also reflects poorly back on the aggrieved family who should have kept closer watch on a relative with Alzheimers.

Any family or responsible caretaker of someone stricken with Alzheimers should inform the neighborhood of the person’s condition. Had this been done it is likely the old man would have been returned safely to his bed.

I have little sympathy for those that do not take the time to at least exchange names with their neighbors. I have friends in Los Angeles who tell me they have never spoken to their neighbor in the 15 years they have resided next to each other.

It appears you think the case was so weak you had to make up things to bolster your side for gun grabbing.

As reported in the orginal article, the situation is very different from your lie:

“As Mr Hendrix’s financee called 911 the 34-year-old confronted the stranger outside his house and, when Mr Westbrook walked towards the house without identifying himself, Mr Hendrix fired.”

Perhaps you are an MSNBC employee?
