Car almost killed him first. Did you catch that? BUT... BOTH were at fault! One tried to murder with a car (and his wifes door open even) and others were not allowed a gun and provoked because he fired pepper spray first. So, the guard instigated by bringing firearm and spraying, thus the charge of 2nd not first. It would be first if he had not been almost run over first. And the other guy wasn't in his right to try to drive over him. Had he lived, he would have faced attempted murder & assault with deadly weapon (car) or if succeded he would have had murder 1st. He should have waited for his wife to call cops. And guard should have just called the cops and not accosted. BOTH at fault. But they had tresspassed many times and ultimately paid for it with his life. Foolish to go back, foolish to spray and not have permit to carry. Society is nuts.

I doubt he was contracted there. Don't you think the guards would have asked the store manager? If the store manager of Lowe's had approved of Freddy's coming, then this would not have been an issue for a year or so. The confusion would have stopped at the 2nd time. A simple "Is he allowed to here?" "Yes." End of. The guards would've spoken to the store manager several times, if not daily, while employed. Freddy would have come up in conversation. So obviously, the store manager and the security guards concurred with the idea that Freddy wasn't allowed on the property, or else they wouldn't be ordering him to leave over the course of a year. Lowes even had a Facebook post on their official page stating [a man in a red truck keeps coming to the store and stealing pallets.

The two criminals who were hung next to Jesus, one mocked Jesus, telling Him to come call His Angels to come and rescue Him, if He was the Son of God. The other criminal scolded the first and one and said Jesus did nothing wrong and that both he and the other criminal were being justly punished for their crimes. He then asked Jesus if He would remember him when Jesus got to Heaven and Jesus replied Truly this day you will be with Me in Paradise.😊

As a Security professional, it makes zero sense that the security company banned him from the Lowe's parking lot when he had an agreement with Lowe's to be there. As a security company, you follow the client's lead in enforcing policy. In this case, Lowe's. The client is the one paying the security company. The confrontation never should have happened. That's one. Two, most jurisdictions require security personnel to get an Armed Guard license if they plan to carry a weapon. Also, you need to clear that with the client. For most, they don't want armed guards on the property for liability reasons. You can't just carry a weapon when on the job. Three, obviously the deceased man isn't a completely harmless/innocent victim. Realistically there was an angry/violent confrontation between the two men that got far out of hand.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I'm a armed security officer too, FDACS.gov . Since 2000. I can tell you, since 2015 or so, more officers, firms use dash mounted 📹 or body cams. People often lie, make threats or distort things. Police 🚔 or sheriffs show up & then talk to random crowds, by standers. Never the 911 ☎️ callers or security. If you work armed, train & know the laws, lethal force standards. Avoid places that serve alcohol 🍷🍸🍺. Avoid hotels, apts 🏘 or HOAs. Everything you say or do is wrong. The guests or residents will nitpick any problem. Lie to mgrs.
