No, it does pass the smell test.
A lot of times around where I live, young blacks will get high and take some cigars and try to wrestle the gun out of a local cop’s hand and then charge him, getting shot. As a result, we’ll have this great big to-do about racist cops. Then sure enough there’s all these riots and grand juries etc, looting. Before you know it, my girlfriend will go out and buy a gun, wave it around in the car as a joke that she’s going to shoot me, I’ll duck, crash into car that wasn’t there before I ducked, she’ll shoot herself in the head. Before you know it, there’s all kinds of people saying ‘that doesn’t pass the smell test.’ Might say the same thing if it hadn’t happened to me more ‘n once.
Odds are we’ll hear he’s been charged with open murder within a day or two.
