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.

Franklin needs to lay low.
Only when blacks hurt you..They don;t seem to have a problem yet,with whites,Hispanics and Asians...
Truer words never spoken...Mr. Gardner will be in my prayers.
Chesa Boudin,Dallas DA,Kim Foxx,Rachel Rollins,Letitia James,Larry Krasner...actually any democrat running for DA is a Soros puppet..They all want to release bad guys and create chaos...Some of them like the Dallas DA allows blacks and Hispanics to steal 750.00 every day of they so choose...Not sure how long Dallas business owners will stay... California actually passed a law voted by the people that put shoplifting to a slap on the hand...GUESS WHAT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA?????
Release the guilty, prosecute the innocent. The new normal?
California prop 47..Shoplifters paradise because of this one law..
That makes me so sad. I feel like we failed him. Had he been supported like Kyle Rittenhouse, he would still be alive to fine.
I didn’t even know about this special prosecutor thing going on until yesterday.
There is no justice in this world.
Charge Franklin with manslaughter for his despicable action.
“When these charges are brought against a person acting out of self-defense in Omaha, Nebraska, we have truly entered a state of mob rule.”
Only if they are on the right. Gardner should have visited Franklin and invited him to accompany him. If enough people acted that way the left would be more cautious. Unfortunately the men of the West have been emasculated. We are nearing the end.
They keep calling our govt a Democracy. That means Mob Rule. We are a REPUBLIC. What keeps us from mob rule is the electoral college.
When will these people learn to stop listening to communists?
Never.
“Whitey” is still 60 to 70 percent of the population. Good luck to the entitled minorities dealing with what’s left of the country after “Whitey” is finally eliminated.
I had extra canned food and Tp and water for the SCAMdemic. I am storing up now for the November riots.
Or he could have just joined the White gang in prison. Choices, choices . . .
Terrorism terrorizes. What can one man do? Look it up. "Warning shots taken can demonstrate that you had time to retreat." I was not there. I do not know if he was defending another.
All I know is he was a businessman with more than one bar, was not a nutjob and obviously felt his or another's life was in danger in the middle of a riot -that's what the warning shots were for.
Then he must have felt he had no choice.
Incredibly sad. Terrible as others have said.
Watch this video - ~ 30 seconds
May God have MERCY on his soul. He was a real "understanding" man. See the video for yourself.
The special prosecutor: POS
I wasn't racist before but BLM and Antifa are on making me one because I believe in America not marxism, socialism, terrorism, rioting, looting, raping, beating, shooting, etc. etc .
I believe in peace and prosperity for all and
All Life Matters.
Hopefully, somebody will film the celebration and make it into a Trump commercial
Keeping hemp growers and rope manufacturers in business is always a good decision.
Same boat here
That’s exactly what they want and more. And it’s getting to the point where defending yourself against violent savage mobs that you didn’t go looking for, but came to you, is now illegal.
They’re literally criminalizing self defense in favor of Democrat supported anarchist and terror organizations.
