In Louisiana your vehicle is considered an extension of your home so you have the right to carry a loaded weapon there whether or not you have a carry permit.

The NOLA cops messing with the evidence wouldn’t surprise me at all.

This smelled like a drug murder from the beginning, IMHO.

The victim was not a hoodlum, thus silence from BLM.

The article failed to mention why Smith first hit the hummer, then sped from the scene.

I don’t really know if it was a a hit, deliberate murder, or payback of some kind, but...doesn’t that seem like a really, REALLY glaring coincidence?

What are the odds, there? I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but that coincidence just hit me in the face like a dead fish.

Using Occam’s Razor, it would be a road rage incident.

Yes, you are right, it is something to think about.

I read that Hayes was self-employed and owned a towing company and a dog breeding company.

There is no such thing as a brand new hummer. There hasn’t been a new one in 7 years. You can get one pretty cheap since the demand is so low.

"...dog breeding company..."

Yes it does;

There’s no dispute at this point that the deadly confrontation was precipitated by an earlier encounter, which Hayes’ lawyer described as a “hit and run.” Thomson rebutted that, saying the Hummer had stopped suddenly, causing Smith to brake quickly, but that any contact between them was nothing more than a slight bump.

“The consensus in the car was, `we didn’t hit this vehicle, there’s no damage, it’s late at night,’ so out of concern for their safety and because they don’t know why this Hummer had stopped so suddenly, and seeing no damage whatsoever, they continued,” Thomson said.

We wondered why Smith took off. What Thomson says makes sense.

Yep, I saw that in the story. But at the time they did not know if there was a connection. Maybe there was.

Maybe Mrs. Smith pulled her wounded husband back into the car, to get him out of the line of fire.

Given his size versus her size and the fact that she was shot in each leg before her husband was shot, I seriously doubt that.
