Sounds like a righteous self-defense kill to me.
Hmmm. Were they legally armed? You never know how this will go down regardless of being a righteous shoot or not. They better lawyer up to protect what little they now have or may have in the future if they go nfl. LSU Tigers players- 1—scumbag miscreant-0
Their weapon was not concealed. Regardless, this is a great example of how a personal firearm can be used to protect your own life.

Merry Christmas

It used to be the law in NY. That you could avoid the NICS check if you had a pistol license. Till some slimy sheriff gave a felon buddy of his a concealed carry license. The feds stopped honoring it then.

Make him the CAPTAIN!
“He was not an LSU student and died at the scene Saturday...”
Better luck next time !!!!
DA is an older white guy but he graduated from Southern Law School. Served as an investigator in the DA’s office while going to law school.
Hard to tell from the bio which way he would go.
The local police department has a designated, well lit, area of their parking lot designated for transactions. Security cameras plus cops coming and going.

Bob -- you're killing me. :-)
Yes, age could be a problem here. I believe that both LSU players are under 21.
YUP!
Happened in Scotlandville, north side of Baton Rouge. You would not want to go there alone, black or white, and you would go there as they did — prepared.
Yea, come to think of it, I guess this guy won’t get to benefit from Trump Jr’s “Criminal Justice Reform”. To use a football analogy, one might say he “ran out the clock”.
