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.

Is there a list somewhere of DAs that have been Soros’ funded?
It would be a useful thing to know.
those rioters and especially those who allowed it are responsible for this young man's death...
if the rioters want the cops held personally responsible, then I want the lawyers and judges held personally responsible.
And by the way....I watched her lie her a** off on this morning's news.
It's never going to stop until the Left is nothing but a smoldering pile of ash. And that isn't anywhere on the horizon when the ones in charge can smirk and lie and commit effin' treason and never pay a price for any of it.
So now Jake Gardner is dead.
here may be a reason:
“Kleine has questioned why Gardner didn’t just stay behind his bouncer after the windows of his bar were broken out. But based on the video of the struggle, he said, he determined that Gardner fired in self-defense.”
“The owner of the building has since evicted Gardner. No date has been set for the grand jury investigation.”
“John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court, said the grand jury likely will not convene for a couple of months, in part because of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak”
—
He was forced to defend himself against a Federal Prosecutor and he was evicted from his place of business and his livelihood was destroyed. He knew the intent of the grand jury was to crush him financially and prosecute him in a hostile environment. He was facing jail time after a long struggle. So he killed himself. What a horrible end.
This #ComDem_Insanity MUST END!
They don't care - it just makes them want more.
The DA killed him. Let’s get that straight even if the article doesn’t.
Agreed,
We are being pulled
in so many directions,
All of them Down.
.
RIP Brother.
A sad, horrible end, indeed.
And, the evil, vile leftists, in that area, are likely celebrating.
Yep....you’re right....This #ComDem_Insanity MUST END!
" they said they expected the same outcome"
BS.
This is the DA that declared it self defense.
The guy on the left is the "special council" the Judge picked.
Expected the same outcome?
Then why do it?
Why go over the DA's head?
The Judge...
.
Same here....just heartbroken.
Where is #JusticeForJakeGardner ????
I’m beginning to wonder about this country.
Is the Judge a conservative or leftist? Any idea?
"Craven Politics".
It makes me steaming mad. This was a productive member of society. Paid taxes. Provided services. Didn't break the law.
He gets ATTACKED by thugs and has to defend himself, and HIS life is destroyed.
THIS is the power that a tyrannical government holds over its citizens.
We have reached peak lunacy. The Grand Jury should be outed.
And they are proud of it. As Limbaugh says, our side needs to use this incident as a teachable moment.
