people react to things from one point of view. If I'm told that I am banned from a property then I shouldn't be there PERIOD! There are plenty of places this guy could have eaten but he chose to add fuel to an already lit fire. Life is about choices and we are in control of some and some we are not, he had control in this case. It is unfortunate true enough that a life was lost but would you feel better if the guard was killed? There had to be evidence on the scene that he pulled a gun or one was in plain view for the police (and not under the seat) for them to feel the guard acted in self defense. Come on people....when someone dies the first thing people say is how good the person was and all the good they did, smh.

yea, i'm thinking about re-locating across the bridge to livingstone where all i would need to worry about is some guy with three teeth in his head riding around doing the shake n bake thing. trouble is everytime i get close to that bridge is i get a hankering for bush beer and my first cousin.

reads as if the police found him in the parking lot, but, they "believe" the security guard shot him in self defense. so the police would have been called to the club by the security guard (or the club management) because of the shooting, i guess i just disagree with the style of the narrative.
