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.
