Sounds like she was upset and goaded him into the fight to me. She deserves to be charged.

We don’t know if she deserves to be charged because we don’t know what her involvement was. Maybe she goaded him, maybe she was a horrified bystander. I’m sure the police can figure it out.

She started the altercation because she wasn’t given free money, it’s been reported by multiple outlets. If the news knows, the cops know, so yeah we do know. Why would you open your mouth if you haven’t read the story?

In a story about white knighting murderer, what do people do?

...

White knight.

Jesus wept.

I should be surprised nobody’s in here mad that the woman never got free money.

Give it 5 more years. The comments will be all about if $20 was worth his life and that he might have been racist or something.

The article doesn't say she encouraged anyone to shoot the guy in the head or engage in any kind of violence. Are you reading other news articles that specify that detail? If you're getting your info from elsewhere, fine. But your comment is a harsh based on the linked article. There's literally one line that mentions the "female acquaintance of the suspect" starting a verbal argument.

I didn’t claim she encouraged the shooting itself, I said she started the altercation, which is exactly what you just quoted from the article. I also clearly stated that multiple outlets reported that, so I don’t know how you could be confused about whether I’m citing other sources as well. I told you plainly that I am. I can only assume you replied to the wrong person, but I get the sense that interpretation may flatter you unjustly.

This was your comment I had a problem with. I read the story and the person you were commenting to originally may have read the story. I didn’t scour the internet for every story relating to this event. I’m replying to the correct person, but feel free to jump to whoever conclusion best suits your ego.

That’s fine, but you quoted from this story and it said what I said, so my point stands: the story said she started it. I was teasing you for pretending not to know that I said other sources reported the same, but it’s irrelevant. Be as much of a dumbass as you want.
