Stupid headline for the story....

Wow this dude is dumb. He was in & out of prison in earlier years. When he came out he finally straighten up & got a job. From there he started his business only to screw things up. What a shame.

Do you think BLM will protest this?

He exchanged fire .... unwisely and poorly

When a professional looking businessman with an apparently successful company gets in scrapes like this one can assume that he had other businesses that perhaps were run under the cover of his official company.
