Police say no charges for shooter.

Looks stumbling, bumbling drunk at 7 p.m. banged on multiple doors, banged on last one for five minutes, they say.

Video at the link.

If only they would ban guns in the French Quarter there would be no more deaths there. Or something.

Why would you even open the door?! If the police had been called - if the city supported the police - this guy would still be alive now.

And need I point out that had this been a black man there’d be campaigning by Democrats in the streets

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

A perfectly legit shooting. A big belligerent drunk forced his way into a home. Got shot.

Note the drunk was a white guy and the home owner black.

So there will be no repercussions

After watching the video, all I can think of is...

Knarly when one feels the need to open front door with weapon in hand.

I agree probably no charges are warranted, but in this particular case - even if it was legal - I would feel pretty bad being responsible for this kill. The drunk was in the wrong - probably lost and disoriented, but the homeowner had no way of knowing it at the time, so did what they felt necessary.

Police say Clark entered the residence, and then lunged toward the person who answered the door.

I would have shot him too.

Busted...down on Bourbon Street...

1. COVID-19

2. Consumption (excessive alcohol consumption)

3. Lead poisoning

4. Suicide by citizen

5. Lethal injection

6. Brain dead, before and after shooting

7.....

I’m old enough to remember when the police were funded and would take care of a problem like that guy. Bummer for his friends/family.
