More fake news. No shots were fired at a person. The driver was black.

What kind of nut cases just fire rounds into a rental van? Not sure how they avoided attempted murder charges.

Nice job on FedEx sending the poor guy out on the same route he got shot at by a couple of redneck idiots...

I heard FedEx put the driver on unpaid leave. Way to treat the victim. Black people can't catch a break from any direction

I am sorry to say that I see a world where there are people who have learned to hate themselves so much that at the slightest triggering of those feelings they are willing to kill others who are totally uninvolved with what happened to them that originally generated such hate.

They're white and its Mississippi.

"Gibson told The Associated Press on Friday that he was in uniform when the incident happened. He said he was in a van rented by FedEx but that it did not have a FedEx logo on it. He pulled into a driveway and dropped off a package sometime after 7 p.m. on Jan. 24. Before he turned his van around in the driveway to exit, he said, he noticed a white pickup truck pulling away from another house on the same large lot.

He said the pickup driver tried to cut him off as he exited the driveway. Gibson swerved around him and then encountered a second man.

“I drive down about two or three houses and there's another guy standing in the middle of the street, with a gun pointed at my vehicle,” said Gibson. The man motioned for him to stop. “I'm looking at him, like shaking my head, because why would I stop for somebody with a gun?” "

^^^ I can understand a driver not wanting to stop thinking it make be a robbery or other threat, but maybe, just maybe if he did and the turds saw the FedEx uniform ..... just maybe they would have realized their mistake and it would have been over.

Not saying they had a reason to do it in the first place.

But I can also see the turds trying to make a case that the driver tried to run him down. You know, the whole self-defense thing ....

I don't know, but I don't find this response appropriate:

"Police chief Kenny Collins did not return calls from the AP seeking more information.

Early this week, Collins, who is Black, pushed back against allegations on social media of racism in Brookhaven. “We’re not going to have outsiders coming in trying to stir that up,” he told The Daily Leader. “Brookhaven is not a racist, prejudiced town. You can’t judge a town by the actions of two individuals.”

“People need to be careful what they post on social media,” Collins said. “If somebody is killed or hurt because of what you post on social media, you will be charged, too.” "

That police chief rather then bitching about people discussing the circumstances needs to answer why these fucks aren't being charged with attempted murder.

The type of person who chases after a black guy driving a rental truck and shoots at it will likely just say the uniform is stolen and it's a ruse.

Once that chase instinct kicks in, brain cells start shutting down.

Why wouldn't running a guy down in the street who is motioning for you to stop and holding a gun in his hand not just be a minor bump in the road to aquittal as self defense?

I can see why they may have thought he was stealing, but that's not grounds to do anything other than make a phone call.

What is Trayvon Martin's name doing in this topic?

Did the Fedex driver turn around and attack these men, did he have one by the head and slamming it into the ground, BEFORE shots were fired?
No. Nothing is the same or comparable to an actual victim (this topic) VS an assailant looking to grievously harm someone who crossed them (Martin).

Sure there is. Big man with a gun wrongly thought someone of color was where they were illegally which ended up instigating a violent confrontation.

The main difference is the guy with the gun didn’t kill the unarmed person of color this time so there’s two sides to the story. Gotta make sure you kill’em so you can tell the police how you feared for your life without contradiction.

The fuck is the matter with you, for real? Why can you, "see why"? Cuz' darkie? or wtf?

Please think about this and try to answer it seriously. I think you need to consider the way you see things. "Bothsides" shouldn't apply when it can cost someone their life for doing nothing wrong.

You are placing blame on the near-victim when there was no justifiable reason for it. I think that's the point you are trying to make, but when you open it with, "Well, I can UNDERSTAND why they might have thought that..." you are excusing their actions with false reasoning the same way they did themselves.

Remember Arbery? Yeah.

Don't be stupid, the guy was a FedEx worker. Not some random thief in the neighborhood (with a rental van?)

Funny thing is that the turd almost has a self defense case if he can reasonably state he felt the driver was going to run him obver. Police shoot drivers all the time for the mere act of driving towards them, regardless of driver intent.

Don't be stupid, the guy was a FedEx worker. Not some random thief in the neighborhood.

He was in a rental truck, not a marked company truck. People have been known to impersonate utility and delivery workers to do all sorts of bad things. These turds had no way of knowing if the guy was legit or not, which is why their ONLY legal action would have been to make a phone call.

Re: Martin, there was a witness to the violence. It wasn't some made up story like you are pretending. Forensics also corroborated.
The main difference is the guy with the gun was not attacked by the unarmed person of color this time. The Fedex driver is an actual victim, not an assailant.

Why?

Black men stalked by armed perps who wind up dead for doing nothing wrong.

That's why.

If it weren't recorded the Arbury case would have wound up just like the Martin case. You and all the other cheerleaders would have been crowing, (Arbury/Martin) attacked them so not guilty was justified)

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

^^ And unless some weird twist comes out that we haven't heard yet, this case is even worse since the guy was legitimately working, doing a job, not just wandering around maybe in the wrong place late at night.

So if they saw him do that, they clearly saw him in his FedEx uniform.

Yeah, a guy in a FedEx uniform picking up a package is SUPER suspicious...
