It's assault no matter how you look at it. It's really unfortunate for everybody involved that the nasty old man died, but if you're going to punch an old man for something he said that was offensive, that's a risk you're taking.
Lived a long life. Hate he died that way, but he deserved that punchthe 77 year old?
you really dont see why he was charged?
I remember when you talked about this back when it happened. Very sad
Sure the man deserved a punch, and the person delivering the punch deserves to be held accountable for his actions. G. Floyd was a POS by some accounts, but he didn't deserve to die either; the person who killed him is being held accountable.
Not with manslaughter. I understand it’s not the state attorney’s responsibility to decide on wasting tax dollars or not, but you have multiple accounts that the 77 year old was inciting violence. Hope they come with a lesser charge because 12 people aren’t going to convict this man of manslaughter.
Punching a guy that called you a n* twice = a cop kneeling on a man’s neck when he’s handcuffed?
That’s probably true as far as 12 people convicting. But you can’t punch a non threat like an old ass man no matter what he says. They are just words
ITT I learned it’s ok to kill someone over words. Where do we draw the line on what justifies this act? What if the old man had made derogatory comments about the guys mom? Is it just this one despicable word or are there others?
thats the chance you take when you hit someone
A voice of reason! If you let someone's words incite you to that point you are a very weak person. Why people let someone they don't know or care about affect them to the degrees we see daily with nothing but words is astounding to me. It's a pussified world we live in.
Stood his ground?? It's best to read the article before responding.
And if you fell over and died, he'd also be charged with a crime.
And if you died from the punch he goes to jail.
