It’s clearly the cop and the gun’s fault. Not the fault of the nice, non-violent guy that decided to fire shots in a club. He was non-violent after all and likely getting his life back together.

They’ve got suicide bombers. We’ve got suicide gunners.

Slight correction. He was planning to get his life together and take up rapping as soon as he finished shooting the other patrons.

there are reports that after Smith was shot, the crowd of over 100 people threw bottles and rocks at the police. Should have shot all of them too...

The cops should respond, then back off and let the thug keep shooting at the crowd. Let’s see how they like that as a policing standard...

Nothing odd about it. People have been part of tribes forever. It’s just relatively new here. We’re supposed to be a nation defined by ideas, not blood.

"Then why was he shot in the back? That's what a witness said," Quintina Block, Smith's aunt, said.--
houston.comAnd so the spin begins.
But even if he was shot in the back, if you point a gun at one cop, isn't another cop behind you justified in shooting you?
(BTW... "Quintina"? Really?)

What was a 20 year old doing in a bar? Or was he loitering outside at night?

Thank God he was 20; if this happened a year ago he would have been a “black teen” in the headlines...

Many more details and video here.

He was shooting with the same gun the woman had used (it wasn’t a confusion over who the shooter was). He was observed firing at/above the crowd, he was confronted by police, and turned at them with his weapon (at least according to what I read).
Bar owner says the yute’s family probably won’t like what’s on the video (counter to the crowd’s claims).

""Im an American-American, at least part of me is Cherokee and Choctaw.""" I didn't know there was an America recognized by the Indian tribes? 😁

He tells us a lady who was with Carlton Smith got into a fight with another lady inside the club and both were kicked out. Around the same time, Smith was involved in an altercation with several men. We're told the lady he was with got a gun. The criteria for being designated a "lady" have certainly declined over the years.

If you point a gun at ANYBODY, bad things will likely happen to you especially if you are engaging in acts of evil...
