What in the f*** is wrong with Baton Rouge??? A young man is murdered in the prime of his life. How can we ever expect to draw students to LSU as long as this s*** continues? I live in Atlanta, a city with a high crime rate, but this is beyond the pale! It’s high time that BTR got its shiznette together! I am saddened and completely disgusted!

The video shows Simpson beating a person already down (5 vs 1) and Wayde coming to the person's defense (presumably a friend of Wayde). Wayde was clearly overtaking Simpson with fists, Simpson stepped back and shot him in the head.

"Enhanced interrogations" would be too good for this sonofabitch.

I guarantee self defense/ stand your ground defense will be used in this case. Sims was whipping his ass when he decided to step back and shoot. 

I'm for stand your ground if you're an innocent person being attacked, but this is gonna be stupid.
