Herb Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Truly unbelievable. This kid had his whole life in front of him and some ugly, evil part of humanity decided his future should be denied...for what????? Quote
The Swamp Angel Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 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! Quote

Hatchertiger Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Not that I want to see if but a friend told me there is a video of the shooting. Senseless. May his soul rest in peace+ Quote

Fishhead Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Dyteon Simpson He has admitted to having a weapon and in fact to shooting Wayde. May he rot Quote
Fishhead Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 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. Quote

Fishhead Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 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. Quote
Herb Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Does Louisiana have a stand your ground law? Quote
