Police arrested Ezekiel Hicks, 25, on murder charges early Sunday in the death of 41-year-old Craig Brewer, who was shot and killed at a Waffle House, in Gainesville, Florida, just a few miles west of the University of Florida.

Officials with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office said the restaurant's surveillance camera captured an altercation between the two on video. Witnesses said the victim was arguing with a female acquaintance of the suspect, who was reportedly upset because Brewer's generosity didn't include her.

When I went to Haiti, I had intended to bring candy to hand out to children when we went out in the countryside. The missionary that lived in country told me "Don't even think about it."

He said that adult men will shove the children out of the way, and that crowds would gather, and no matter how much candy you have, it won't be enough. When you run out of candy, they'll get mad and kill you.

You go anyplace and start giving things of value out for free, and it can get ugly.

If you scroll down on this link, https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-killed-florida-waffle-house-paying-meals-handing/story?id=62262513, you’ll be able to see a little bit of the victim. His face is pixelated over, but you can see a few discerning features if you look closely. Poor guy didn’t deserve to die over this.

College campuses need no explanation, but Naval base areas probably also attract a certain population of Communist infiltrators, (granted much fewer in number than the college campuses) who try to blend in except for Democrat Party activism, resulting in Democrat (Communist) rule and a consequent collapse of civil society! (Or is my tinfoil hat on too tight?;)

Posting this update right here. It gives more details about the victim.

The victim’s family is asking for prayers for the suspect.
I’ll be praying -——— that justice is swift.

“That’s the type of person he was,” she said of Brewer, a member of the Pentecostal Praise and Deliverance Church in Gainesville. “Anytime he walked in a store, or anytime he was at a place or in a neighborhood, wherever he was, he would say, ‘Oh, I’ll pay for this,’ or ‘I got it.’”
