Well, 1/2 true... we dont know what was said. He may have believed that part of the lot would be considered his and approach the drunken man.. but seriously, we are all me.. who has not needed to piss on a wall in an emergency... I was in a major traffic jam om Lake Shore Dive just before where the Bears play.. I could not hold it, I was in a 2 seatter corvette going to an uppity, upitty diner with big wigs from the office downtown... I got out of the vette, sprinted across the street, hopped the fence to the harbor and pissed on a wall,, ran back and car was still in same spot.. my date did not know how to drive a stick.

Big ego wielding a gun because he 'owns' the town and believes he has the law in his back pocket. It's very clear in the video, Hughes is very drunk and I'd wager has no idea what's going on except that he's gotta 'go'. Brewer is a prick, imo, and thinks he's the victim. He didn't react verbally or otherwise (that we could see) to the news that Hughes had died. To me that indicates zero remorse.

This is a man that thought he was entitled bc he owned a strip mall....then was handling a firearm while intoxicated. He happened to "stumble" upon someone that may have should been put in jail for a Public Intoxication charge for peeing on a building (that wasn't the assailant's) when the assailant got upset bc he was also intoxicated. Noone should have been killed in this situation. The man that thought he was above the law....whom shot the innocent young man...should def be put away. He shouldn't be trusted with a firearm or to even own a business where public is involved if he cannot control himself. He's definitely a threat to the community as he has shown.

Doesn't matter if Hughes was unarmed, armed, drunk, or not drunk. What matters is if the person had a perceived reasonable threat of grave bodily harm to himself or someone else. I don't see that here at all, you can't reasonably think you're in danger if you're the one to advance on the person you shoot, which was a good distance away, that's more similar to an execution than self defense.

[@marieogara1036]

And, he actually turned his back on the two friends, clearly not expecting any threat from them at all. Who, in danger, would do that? Not a sign of any fear or even nervousness --- I bet he pissed against an outside wall many a time. This was deliberate murder,-- maybe he thought he would wound this kid, teach him a painful lesson, and swagger back to the bar? Probably down to 2nd, or manslaughter for a plea deal? And, he knew exactly what to do when calling cops -- put gun safely out of reach? Even with the two friends still there? Yeah, he's so in danger? Not a shred of a reason, let alone excuse.

Here's my take on why Brewer got all "tough guy" and ticked off. He admitted that he stayed behind at the bar after his niece left because he was hoping to pick up a woman. He probably had zero luck at that, but he noticed that the good looking and young Garrett Hughes was catching a lot of the women's attention. Brewer couldn't compete with that but he thought he was a better man than Garrett and he was jealous. The more he drank, the madder he got. He was looking to pick a fight ... that's why he went out to the parking lot ... hoping to push his weight around as the owner of the strip mall.

In America, you can murder someone. Post bail, hire lawyers, write a book, start a go-fund-me, get a reality tv show. Or just be lucky that the legal system is so backed up that you're put on house arrest for two-years post-bail and your entire trial ends up being thrown out at the last moment, so like... You're innocent, legally. Your life is still RUINED though. Also money is king in the US. There are plenty of American Celebrities who have gotten away from murder.

I believe a strange motivating factor here is envy- envy of Hughes’ youth. May sound crazy, but the fact that someone is in the prime of their life is often enraging enough to set off a rotten old killer. Garrett Hughes was young, handsome as hell, absolutely shredded, a walking embodiment of peak masculinity looking ahead to a bounteous world that’s his for the taking. The perpetrator; here’s a guy who’s running around doing bills, buried in paperwork, employee oversight, licensure ratification, district protocols, drywall repair, occupant capacity violations, the fire marshal and the health inspector are chasing him, he’s gotta clean out his inbox, his wife hates him, his ex wife hates him more, his kids want nothing to do with him, he’s got a corvette in his garage he’s never driven, and worst of all… his d!ck is broken.

I was thinking the same thing! This is a recently divorced man that, of his own admission, was hanging out after his niece and her companion left the bar hoping to find someone to hook up with.

Omg. I feel the same way ! Jealous that this young man was handsome and in his prime.

[@Synthpoptroubadour]

i disagree. i'm 49 and i don't run around feeling "envy" for young people. why would i? that's not how it works. when you age you don't run around jealous of everyone who's young. maybe the odd person is but that's an absurd perspective. also, being older doesn't mean you have "no opportunities" and your life is over. i mean, it may take some work, but you can get yourself in good shape, look good and likely attract women from various ages. i mean, i might be lucky because im 6'4" and i'm thin and in shape, but although i have friends who are younger, i never ever feel envy for youth. it's also not easy being young. you're not taken that seriously, you don't have life experience and wisdom you gain from being "around the block" and, quite frankly, i don't know anyone around my age who walks around feeling envy towards young people. they're content those days are over. plus, you have memories. that's good enough. i was terribly insecure at that age and a lot of people are. it takes time to build up confidence and really discover who you are... no offense. i imagine you're young/ youngish. i just don't really like ageism and it seems to be an 'ism' that is commonly accepted. i hope it changes. the guy was a total insecure and entitled prick and what he did was horrible. i just doubt that's the reason

​@@iamthebroker the point is, he's unarmed, he's not acting aggressive, and he's so hammered that even if he tried to swing at the other guy, he would likely completely miss and lose his balance. He's not a threat to the guy. While I agree that drunk people are often very dangerous, especially when they're armed and angry or behind the wheel of a car, I will reiterate my point above, this guy is hammered and not dangerous at all. There are certain levels of intoxication that result in someone becoming weak and vulnerable. The guy in the video is one such instance. The guy with the gun is obviously not anywhere nearly as intoxicated, and he falls into the other category of being buzzed and armed, which could result in someone being dangerous, and in this case, it did. So you're only partially correct, but also you're partially wrong. Have a nice day. Stay away from alcohol.
