Gunman claims self-defense in deadly clash at Brooklyn park, no charges likely: sources
By Roni Jacobson, John Annese, Elizabeth Keogh and Ellen Moynihan
A licensed gun owner who fatally shot a young man in a Brooklyn park in the dead of night claims he was acting in self defense after the 23-year-old victim tried to rob him at knife point, police sources said Tuesday.The shooter told detectives he was walking through Carroll Park on President St. near Smith St. in Carroll Gardens around 2:45 a.m. Saturday when Jordan Dillard put him in a chokehold, and with a knife to his neck, demanded he hand over cash, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
The two men fought until the would-be robbery victim, who has a concealed carry permit, whipped out a registered gun and shot the assailant in the torso. A knife was recovered at the scene; there’s no indication Dillard and the gunman knew each other, according to the sources.
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office is still investigating, but it is not believed the gunman will be charged in Dillard’s death, The News has learned.

Just strollin’ along in the park at 0245, nothing to see here. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Watched an interview of Newsome, where he was shaking his shoulders and grinning like amature night at a strip bar.
Dude is like an ad for Tardive Diskinesia treatments. What the frell antipsychotic is he on?
Takeaways:
1) Be wise in whom you allow into your domicile.
2) Unless your job requires it, walking through a park at 0245 hours is to be avoided.
Someone believed in no such thing as too much ammo or too much accuracy. I approve.
Imma gonna go out on a limb here, Graybeard, and say that we have a coupla cases of the trash taking out the trash. Good riddance. No mention of a Ms Thang so we can figure the other primary reason of drugs was in play.
We should raise a toast of Samuel Adams to Ol’ Sam Adams for his wisdom and advice.
“…one of the most sought after versions…” Everyone wants to have as backup something that includes the word “Artillery”.
Was curious, so…
“9mm Ballistic Drop at 800 Yards”
“However, this calculation assumes a flat trajectory and does not take into account the effects of air resistance and other factors that can affect the bullet’s flight. In reality, the bullet drop at 800 yards would be significantly more than 64 feet.”
“In general, the 9x19mm cartridge is not designed for long-range shooting, and its effective range is typically considered to be around 100-200 yards. At 800 yards, the bullet drop would be significant, and the cartridge would likely be ineffective for most practical purposes.”
Two phrases come to mind…
“Spray & Pray” and “To whom it may concern.”
