    Dude, the sound is clearly audible, and the people behind him clearly react to it, and they clearly end the event prematurely right after it happens.

    Attention on this doesn’t diminish any of the horrible atrocities committed by the Trump Admin, but it cuts at the very foundation of the “strongman” persona Trump tries so desperately to portray

  • Prosecutors said Hughes had been drinking and watching the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl at the bar that night, along with Brewer. After leaving the bar, Hughes urinated on the rear wall of the building.

    Lloyd Preston Brewer III, who owns the building but not the bar, confronted Hughes and then shot him once in the torso, killing him. He later claimed that he had acted in self-defense, telling police he feared for his life when he saw a group of people gathering in the parking lot and noticed Hughes urinating on the wall.

    “He came at me in a threatening manner and appeared he was reaching for something on his side,” Brewer told police, according to The Miami Herald. Brewer said he warned Hughes before drawing his weapon.

    But prosecutors said security footage and eyewitness testimony directly contradicted that account.

    “There is no justifiable claim to self-defense because the kid was never armed and never advanced on the shooter, the shooter advanced on him,” Assistant Monroe County State Attorney Joseph Mansfield said.
