That’s why chicks need to stay out of these things. It happens every time. Really
He had a group of people attacking him. If he wasn't actively committing a crime, a jury could see this as self defense.
Is there a follow up to this story?
Whats the context?
Geeze
And just like that he’s getting life in prison!
Maybe don't provoke people in either side?
Why on they grabbing him
Maybe I'm blind but didnt the gun come out after he was attacked and running away? Ya know? Like not a crime..
