one less p.o.s we got to worry about .They should give the defender a medal

Nunez Montana says:

Maybe the lesson here is when you see someone vandalizing your car, you should record it as a proof with a phone and hopefully be able to get connected to the police on the line on the second phone? And if police comes after the guy who vandalized your car leaves, you file a police report which will just help you recover losses with your insurance company as both parties do not know nothing about the man who vandalized? And the insurance rates will go higher? But still paying off for the higher rates are far better than getting charges as a murderer?

Nunez Montana says:

Someone told me about the real incident where a girl who had self defense (jiu-jitsu) skills fought and choke the intruders hidden in her apartment faced charges after being sued as one of the intruders got brain damaged during the choke. It was 2 men vs. 1 woman, and woman was just fighting off the intruders in order to protect herself from rape or kidnap, you name it..This is another weird one..

JuiceRifle says:

He drew on the kid off the bat……? Looked like he introduced deadly force into the equation first. They were both in the wrong.

alexandsimba says:

I think he should get a fine, but that's about it. This was excessive use of force in my opinion. All he had to do was give the teenager a good shove to the ground or knockout punch if he wanted a fight. I' see a lot of comments calling us who don't agree with John, cowards but pulling a gun on someone unarmed makes you coward as well (especially when they are not evening threaten another living being).

Active self erection, better have some good empty hand skills, be at one with god and your family around you because you never know when it might happen!

Justin L says:

That's one huge sheriff

DJ Rodriguez says:

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
A jury of your peers will be chosen by you and they'll be patriots too.

René says:

the question is: did he shoot from above when the perp was down.

Craig Stephens says:

dank jr. your a fucking idiot…

Nicholos Jones says:

i hope ur rich bro, and if ur not u will b. u have an amazing way of talking about this violence that is the best in the world. thanks bro, ive been shot so now these videos mean more to me. again thanks. one

bobdoleca01 says:

lol he shot him TWICE in the chest, but im sure him being black has nothing to do with it, I hope the shooter gets/got the death penalty

Donald is your buddy. says:

Wow that cop was fast…what is there a 🍩 shop across the way?

Junior Defreitas says:

I'm a active duty service member and I'll be damn if I just call the cops and wait while some is stealing my car. I don't go to work everyday and defend the freedoms of others so that mine can be tread upon!

Orlando Acevedo says:

the kid was down already when he shot him, and why would he shoot twice?. he murdered that kid. if he shot the kid once than I would see things differently

dank jr says:

The problem was the kid posed no threat to this man until the man went outside to confront him. The correct scenario was for the man to have called the police and let them handle it. nobody deserves to get shot over property damage specially since these people were there for help. As much as i hate to say it, this man was in the wrong. The only time you use a gun is when your life or someone else's life is in danger not to defend property. If this kid was inside this building or house and was trying to hurt you it is an entire different story but since this man went out of his way to go defend a car that probably wasn't even his he deserves to face charges.

Nathan Hess says:

Justice is served! 😂😂👍👍

Chris Namelast says:

These criminals are 99.9% mommy's boys.  mama always saving them.  Not this time though, mama.  You fucked up one too many times.

Jesse Sisolack says:

Indited on murder charges? There is no grey area here. This is a rather clear case. I wounder how they managed to get charges let alone such high charges. If I am not missing any information, then this is insane to charge him.

T Highlander says:

He was black so they have to charge him other wise they would be racist.

scott9050 says:

According to this article the perp that was shot had just robbed a house the same day and the homeowner nearly shot him. He also had 2 warrants out for his arrest for a police chase:

world b free says:

that sheriff needs to cut back on the doughnuts.

John Jason Chun says:

Yeeeee Haaaaaa! End of the DNA!

BONG WIZ says:

lol black ppl

Gary Rahn says:

Sad story. White guy is going to trial in front of a black jury for killing a black minor. he's toast.

DannyH says:

So, why did the kid climb through the fence when there is no gate?  %-/

Jeremy bracey says:

I don't think it will go far Mississippi has a clause that allows you to defend your property if it is on your property. If this is his business he should be ok. Being crazy and a kid doesn't entitle you to be able to destroy or steal people's things. Good job to the store owner. Mississippi needs more like him and we can nip this plague in the bud.

Chris Justa says:

why do you take other ppls videos and talk shit on them smfh
