BREAKING: Omaha Bar Owner Charged For Killing Rioter Who Attacked Him and His Business Has Committed Suicide

A Nebraska bar owner that killed a rioter who was attacking him and his business has committed suicide, a friend of Jake Gardner has confirmed to The Gateway Pundit. The bar owner, Jake Gardner, was indicted by a grand jury on counts of manslaughter, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, attempted first-degree assault and making terrorist threats after intense political pressure was placed on the city. The district attorney had originally ruled it was self defense.

On May 30, the 38-year-old confronted a group of rioters outside one of the bars he owns in Omaha and was knocked to the ground.

“From there, he fired two warning shots and tried to get to his feet, prosecutors said. As he did, Gardner got into a fight with one man, James Scurlock, 22. The two scuffled before Gardner fired a shot that killed him,” Yahoo News reports.

Douglas County District Court Judge Shelly Stratman then appointed a special council, Fredrick Franklin, an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Omaha, to handle the case, though they said they expected the same outcome.

Instead, Franklin bowed to pressure and dug up evidence and came up with charges.

“The manslaughter charge, he said, is related to Scurlock’s death; the attempted assault charge resulted from the second warning shot Gardner fired; the charge of making terrorist threats is linked to ‘a verbal confrontation’ that Gardner had with Scurlock, Franklin continued,” Yahoo reports.

On Friday, a judge signed off on an arrest warrant for Gardner.

The DA and the Judge belong in PRISON FOR LIFE for this. The very idea that would even charge this man should be a HANGING OFFENSE!!!

We don’t have justice, we have craven politics.

Those two have blood on their hands.

He was not charged with murder.

This was a REALLY BAD long term solution to a possibly temporary problem!

Caught up in the moment and killed himself. I am so sorry. What a nightmare.

Of course gofundme won't allow him on their site...but there must be a way to contribute to his defense fund.

Innocent blood shed for no reason. These people have to pay for all of the lives they have destroyed.

An injustice was done. This is the intended result of the democrats organizing, promoting, and supporting the riots. Yes, they hoped that innocent Whites were killed, and then the democrats would arrest and convict Whites. The McCloskey’s were unfairly prosecuted.

A reasonable person would conclude that the goal is to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money.
