Is a judgment call in this situation though, because his dad was on the ground getting pummeled by three different men I already know if this is a white guy who had a concealed carrier permit and he shot someone in this situation, I highly doubt that he ,would be going to jail for as long as Mr Lewis is!

[@kevincourtney7312]

@@Jamesjenkis-jh8jw Nope, especially if he shot a black man. The three men that went to prison for the death of the black jogger that was casing homes proves that. The third man that was just shooting a video got life and he never touched a gun and didn't conspire with the man that held the gun. Heck, the jogger actually grabbed the gun and in effect shot himself and all three white guys got life. So make believe sentencing laws don't reflect reality once again.

Good Point 39% of gun owners have no safety training. Before buying a gun, all people should be required to receive comprehensive firearm training, which should include live-fire training experience. The training should also include instruction on how to responsibly store, handle, use, and transport a firearm. Education on self-defense laws, how to de-escalate arguments, and the risks associated with children and people with suicidal thoughts accessing firearms are

I know his father and their family. My husband worked for an uncle at his construction company, I worked for another uncle at his security company. We went to the same church. Genesis ans his dad had a successful clothing line, had in stores in the mall. His mom is a teacher here. Genesis and his siblings were all great kids, raised a cpl hrs north of GR in the country. I was shocked to hear this. I didn't believe it til I looked online. Family is on school board, well known and liked in this town. Idk what fight was about or why, from what is said his dad got hit from the back or side and few men started jumping him. Genesis and his dad were always close, sounds like emotions got outta control n he ran to vehicle to grab gun. It wasn't right and he shot his bf. He's gotta pay with a lengthy sentence but he was always a great kid, great family. This was a surprise. Idk why his dad wudda been in an argument even. Its been a few years since I saw his dad but Genesis and siblings rode dirt bikes and dune buggies, hes def not a gang member or in any trouble prior. Had license to carry. From the ppl I know them to be, it seema like his emotions just got outta hand seein his dad down. Not right what he did at all, not condoning that. Just still surprised. I just found this out like a month ago n saw this other video tonight. But he really was a good kid with good family around him.
