Oh another thought…and though I don’t wish harm on Mr. EJ he deserved what he received just for being part of it. I would have taken similar action though firing into the air would have been a better alternative.
Welcome to another sad Columbus GHETTO! Bunch of unevolved cave people is how I see it.
The lack of details is due to the lack of response from witnesses, in this neighborhood everyone keeps thier business to themselves. All i know is that EJ better be alright or the neighborhood is most likely going to end up a mess.
why were all the neighbors ganging up on him? sounds like possibly self defense to me. what exactly was the “dispute”? what’s with the lack of details in these news stories???
what was he supposed to do? call police? wait for them for a half an hour to come to scare the neighbors away so that they could come back after the police left? get a restraining order against people who live next door? i am not criticizing anyone. i am just curious…
