ReplyDeleteThis is injustice, plain and simple.
You say that, but refuse to say anything about the MoDOT people who are responsible for “highway safety”.
DeleteAin't MoDOTs fault. Two hot heads Fixin to tangle, one got dead. Remember folks, there are no more innocent fisticuffs. The progs have managed to remove almost all traces of civility and mo'rals in the most recent generation and a half. This and the combinations of impulsive youth. This just sucks. I'd like to know the other side as well, if the perp was also the aggressor. Time to go, join the line of the other offenders at the gallows.
DeleteMust have been a beaner being a stabbing. To hard of work for a negro.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous. Nothing the kid could have done warrants being killed. Sounds like a very stand up young man too. Sympathy to his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteAn outsider gets a deadly education in the life and times of being in the city.
ReplyDeleteSadly this should have been a case where someone brought a knife to a gun fight. Usually you won't see it coming, but can sure throw down lead at the perp after the fact. Missouri can't make it any easier for you to carry and protect yourself.
ReplyDeleteMan, Sad. Just don't ever get out of your car over road rage, you never know what's going on in the other persons head or what they're carrying.
ReplyDeleteStand-up young fella, sure. WTF was he doing outside of his car on the side of the highway? Giving the aggressor a thorough dressing-down? That NEVER works in "real" life, only where there is a clear superior and subordinate. If you're going to get out of the car, the best weapon you have short of a firearm, you level the playing field. Once you get out of the car, you've indicated your willingness to fight. Here's the thing about a fight, the longer you stall, the more confident and prepared the other guy will get. Once the approach has been made, best just to hit hard and fast, quit when the guy is down or out, and leave. No talking, no yo' momma, no chest bumping, no crap.
ReplyDeleteIncredible, insightful information form a bunch of cracker-jack, kick-ass TKC insiders. Your observations concerning this incident are spot-on and absolutely on target. Your rational conclusions and well supported facts render this case closed! Good jobs people, give yourself a slap on the back!
ReplyDeleteThey know who did it, but they are biding their time.
ReplyDeleteJust wait and see.
Knife carrying Amish at it again? That's their weapon of choice.
ReplyDelete@10:02 I wish there was a common code where simple stupid disagreements could be settled with a date and time and no one would lose their life. Only my wish... Reality is like you said, don't get out of the car, walk away and live another day. No coward in that for simple stupid crap...
