Oh MFG, Florence is lost! That's even Tater's hometown!
Whatever are the pearl clutchers at Hoover Lake going to do?

Is that Israel the painter?

If someone attacked me with a machete raised I would fire more than one round into the perp.
He show great restraint only shooting one time.

it doesn't matter what the facts are or what the witnesses said, this poor guy is gonna get indicted for no other reason than he defended himself with a gun. cops and prosecutors are the biggest gun control supporters there are. they think only they should have guns. and no matter what, the family of the dead guy are going to be screaming for a prosecution. and they will get it, regardless of how much the guy deserved to be shot. so called self-defense with a gun is a myth.

Something something about a knife to a gun fight.

If the grand jury doesnt indict the shooter you can bet your ass the family of the deceased will go after money in a 'wrongful death' civil trial if he has any thing worth something.

No. This is a white trash felon Israel. Israel the painter I believe has more sense than this guy.

@ 6:09, Credentials please. Happen to be a cop and I whole heartedly disagree with your so called assessment. Indictment not a given, but yes, a wrongful death suit is a given. This is why Attorneys exist.

If Israel the painter shot someone, they needed shooting.

They definitely had time to get the story straight before Barney showed up.

I think y’all don’t realize that this is not in Hinds County. This was justifiable, and the Grand Jury will no bill rather quickly. Considering the deceased was the aggressor, this was not the first time he had been violent, and the shooter was obviously there under friendly circumstances, I doubt anyone will be filing any lawsuits...

Good thing this will be tried in Rankin County.

Here is what Joe Biden said yesterday about self defense according to Yahoo news:

Joe Biden said Monday that police under attack in the line of duty should shoot their assailants “in the leg instead of the heart” as a way to avert the killing of civilians.
“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there’s an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing. There’s a lot of different things that could change,” Biden said in a meeting with community leaders at Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Del.

No, this Israel Hodges was not a painter. When he wasn't in jail or selling or making drugs he was a plumber. He was a sweet intelligent little boy when I first met him he was smart enough to be in the Venture classes for gifted kids in Florence schools. I don't know what went wrong but it seems he had no parental guidance, got in with the wrong crowd and destroyed his life with drugs.
He had a long history of getting high on meth and threatening people with a machete. I doubt there will be any charges filed since the shooter was his wife's son from a different relationship. He left behind 2 daughters who are following in his footsteps. A tragedy all around. I hope his torment on this Earth has ended.
