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. Attorneys 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 Scurlocks 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.

Murder by Lawfare.
The DA needs to be arrested, tried, convicted and executed as a loyalist to domestic terrorists.
What’s longer? 7 to 10 years or the rest of your life?
and it’s just because you are so incredibly pessimistic doesn’t mean that he should have been. The case haven’t even gone to trial yet. it could have gone to higher Court since it was self-defense. Don’t justify suicide. There’s never a reason. It was a cowardly thing to do to be honest@a.
I hope God forgives him because of the situation but murder is murder. Read the Bible that includes yourself
Oddly enough, he killed himself near Portland, Oregon. Makes me wonder if he was heading out there to do exactly this? Go out in a blaze of glory.
What a waste. If he was set on killing himself he should have offed the judge first. And maybe the special prosecutor too.

The left has more blood on its hands
After hundreds of millions during the last 100 years, why would it care about one more in the name of...Progress!
He was indicted on manslaughter.
What is being taught here has much broader implications than just this man’ s tragic and unfair death.
The citizens are being taught that there is no defense.
We wonder why the citizens of Russia or China or Germany did not fight?
They were taught that there is no real truth, only what the mouthpieces of the state say.
This is the true enemy.
Just seeing these pictures tell me all I need to know. And from here on it is going to get much worse.
Can’t find much of anything but Shelly is not her real name, it is Michelle.

Most of the news sites call the thug he killed a protester. There are also pictures of all the idiots out demonstrating.
Awful!!
Awful!!
Thanks
She was appointed by a Republican Gov. Heineman.

We have a ways to go gang.
“The McCloskeys were unfairly prosecuted.”
The kid in Kenosha is in jail. Nice “justice” system.
No it does not surprise me.
Such a travesty of justice.
Unfortunately it is very common in our Weaponized Politicized Federal Court system today.
Thanks to the Obozo Administration.
At least he got Scurlock!
The guy lost his apartment, too
