[intruder]

Bang, Bang, Lucky Luke!

I understand Sinclair may have been upset over being cut-off and [worst case scenario] someone damn near hitting and harming his queen and his seed but shyt is ridiculous how hot-headed some of these cats are. shyt like this you were gonna end up either locked up in jail away from your woman and your kid or worst case scenario, DEAD, leaving said woman to raise your seed all alone.

I always say americans arent any more violent than other nations. But the fact that everyone here has guns turns something that would have turned into a random scuffle with punches thrown in most other places into a possible gunfight/shootout in the US.

He wanted to apologize for cutting off another driver. It turned into a deadly shootout.

Keith Byrne was trying to do the right thing. After the Marine Corps veteran accidentally cut off another car, he was ready to apologize at the next light.

Before he could, a passenger got out of the cut-off car and shot him square in the chest. The mortally wounded Byrne, 41, was also prepared to fight back. With his own gun, he fired two shots at 22-year-old Andre Sinclair, and Sinclair died of his injuries at the hospital two days later. Byrne died on scene.

Sinclair had been a passenger in the car his girlfriend was driving. Their toddler was in the backseat.

The whole incident was something that Davie Police Sgt. Mark Leone called ultimately “pointless and silly.” In a news conference Wednesday, the sergeant went through what had happened Friday at the corner of Flamingo Road and Southwest Eighth Street just south of Interstate 595.

Byrne had been on the phone with a friend at the time. The friend “heard his friend Keith say, ‘My bad,’ in making an attempt to apologize,” Leone said. “At that time over the phone he heard the gunshots and Mr. Byrne said, ‘I think I’ve been shot,’ started slurring his speech, and then the phone call was disconnected.”

According to police, Sinclair got out of his girlfriend’s blue BMW displaying his gun and was heading for Byrne, who was still inside his air-conditioning work truck.

Sinclair shot Byrne once in the chest. Byrne shot Sinclair several times, police said.

Both Byrne and Sinclair held concealed carry permits. “Mr. Byrne was acting in self-defense when he ultimately fired back at Mr. Sinclair,” Leone said. He added that if Sinclair had survived, “we would have identified him as the primary aggressor, and he would have ultimately been charged with murder.”

Police say that Sinclair’s girlfriend had been pleading with her boyfriend to stay in the car when they stopped at the light. Neither she nor their daughter were harmed in the shooting.

After news broke, Byrne’s family and friends shared their favorite memories of him across social media. In an interview, Peter Franzese described Byrne as a “person that made everyone feel good when he was around them.” Franzese added that, “When he loved you as a friend, he always had your back, and it was for life.”

[Poetical Poltergeist]

At least he took out the dude who shot him first.

If that's what really happened.

Rip. Play stupid games bruhs.

Both of them are idiots.

surrender and defeat,
my fated causality,
by mine own hand done in,
'twas the death I ordained,
when to the addiction of ego,
I did, did I,
concede and become another casualty

I agree with your point of about how this bullshyt escalates with all these fools with guns.

But I can't help but think the narrative would be different if the "victim" was black and the "aggressor" white.
And ain't this stand your ground Florida? Someone cut you off and then pull up side of you, how you know their intentions? Pigs out here shooting folks in the back for fukk sakes

If you're ever in a position where you're gonna retaliate in a way that can land you in trouble just ask yourself, 'What will this matter in 30mins".

 

[bnew]

at least the aggressor is dead, swift justice delivered by the victim himself. Not something you hear about often.

 

[Billy Ocean]

He got out his car to apologize for cutting dude off?

I know Byrne was white. They showed his pic in the article itself. I'm not sure about Sinclair [alleged to be aggressor]

To me all this could have been avoided if homie just stayed in the fukking car like his girl pleaded with him to do. I cut people off all the time. I get cut off all the time. What's there to get heated over and start shooting? What's there to get heated enough to even need to get out the car? At worst i'll fukking hunk my horn and give the cat a middle finger and go on about my business. Mofo had time to cool off all the way up until the next light and still hopped out the car guns blazing.

Please re-read

• Byrnes cuts off Sinclair and his girl.
• At next light Byrnes tries to apologize by pulling up next to them and says "my bad" according to witness.
• That's when shots rang out. Sinclair Allegedly jumps out of his car and shoots Byrne in the chest once
• Byrne returns fire and hits Sinclair twice.
• Byrne dies on the scene
• Sinclair dies at the hospital

Again this is witnesses talking. No actual video footage

He did not get out of his truck... at least not first

 

[Billy Ocean]

No. Reread. He pulled up next to them and said "my bad" according to witness. That's when shots rang out.

He did not get out of his truck... at least not first

O ok. Was about to say that dude got out the car for smoke.

common sense man which a lot of people lack. Dude probably got heated because is his kid was in the backseat but a cutoff that didn't result in an accident is the best outcome you can hope for.

Me when I accidently cut someone off

One time I had a dude follow me off the highway because he was driving slow as fukk in front of a truck and I was gonna miss my exit
