Even if dude had meth, that's no reason to murder somebody... Unless you're some fash wacko (eg fox news host)....

Fucking disgusting to see this drug-use line advanced every time a police officer needs to explain why a civilian has been executed. Any plans to actually prosecute a 1st degree murder? Or is it merely enough to tell grieving relatives that the corpse of their loved-on has officially been slandered?

Well, sure, possession of any drug gets the instant death penalty in MAGA America.

Unless you're a Trump appointee, then drug possession and use is a prerequisite for employment.

If you have meth in your car, it is ok for armed masked men to shoot you dead.

You're talking about a network that suggested euthanizing the homeless. Anchor still works there and no one cares.

Every fox news employee needs to be murdered and the children let out of their basements. Every single one.

This was most likely made up as an excuse to kill.

Fox news doing the bidding of the biggest pocket book.

That should be a billion dollar fine for Fox News.

I saw a single YouTube comment claiming that the guy was a drug dealer, a paedophile, and shot first. Not one of those things, all three at once. They just make all this shit up for what? To try to prove to themselves they're on the "right" side?

I misread and thought it was the anchor with meth. I mean that's a given, just y know

Meth was found in a van after the shooting. It just wasn’t the guys van who was shot…
