I'm glad this guy will not be charged and I'm glad our laws support him and open carry.
Mandeville is a very nice area of Louisiana. The police handle things well there. I would not have shot the guy as I would not have put myself in the position this armed citizen put himself into.
911 and observe the situation until the police arrive.
By the way, had the victim been black this would have been a whole other ballgame.
The deceased was definitely the aggressor. Still too bad it had to turn out that way
Why does Warren Montgomery believe Mr. Breland’s death a tragedy?
There is stupid and then there is STUPID. But I am not sure that I understand your criticism. The intention of the shooter was just to get the guy’s license plate and wait for the police. He WAS trying to observe the situation until the police arrived. When the belligerent idiot noticed, he got out of his minivan and followed him into the store, pushing and shoving the entire time.
To me your arm chair assessment indicates only that you probably have not been in a similar situation. Because of my former profession I have been in the path of idiots on many occasions and it is often not easy or even possible to avoid a serious confrontation.
“...had the victim been black this would have been a whole other ballgame.”
How so? If it’s film documented and witnessed, how would that change things?
Wonder if it was this guy. The date of death and the date of the funeral seem to match up.

PTSD, mean drunk, or just a bully? I guess he didn’t learn anything about firearms in the army.
I find it interesting that the shooter had a Punisher-style shirt on.
I’m curious if they’ve decided what kind of controlled substance the shootee was on. It takes a special kind of stupid to attack someone who is pointing a gun at you; stoned usually plays a part.
