Could you please do a little research? Like when you wrote a book report in Jr High? You want me to do your research? How do you know I won’t lie to you. The facts are out there, he was on probation, a two time loser, the third time he is in prison. That is what he was looking at. And here come the police, which the white boys had called.... What was the dead guy to do? Maybe he thought better to be dead than go to prison, what do I know. If his choice was to live, it was not good to attack an armed man and attempt to take his weapon.
I have been reading articles about this case, and I have read nothing to indicate he committed any crime on the day he was killed. The McMichaels did not see him do a thing. The police had nothing to arrest him for.
