According to police, Edwin approached Morris and asked him for a dollar outside the Express Mart Gas Station at 4140 S. Claiborne Ave. about 8:20 a.m. Friday. But Edwin then reached into Morris back pocket, snatched his wallet and ran across South Claiborne at Milan Street.

Morris caught up with him in the rear driveway of Hi Class Customs, an upholstery and window tinting shop at 4201 S. Claiborne. Morris wrested his wallet back and then began beating on Edwin with his fists, police said.

At least two people tried to restrain Morris. But he kept punching and then started kicking Edwin, who was begging Morris to stop and was attempting to cover his face and body, police said.

Fair next.

Stop being a degenerate at you'll probably live to your golden years.

In Louisiana, manslaughter is defined as a killing that is carried out in the heat of passion following a provocation that would cause an ordinary person to lose self-control. The crime calls for a maximum of 40 years in prison but doesnt include a mandatory minimum punishment.

I hope he gets off light.
Booked with manslaughter so hopefully he plea down.

Morris battered Edwins head and body for a duration of five minutes or more, police said. He didnt stop until one of the witnesses managed to pull him off. The witness said he feared Morris would try to beat him up as well, according to police.

Don't steal someone's wallet if you don't want to risk being beaten to death, simple as that.

So beating any criminal to death with your bare hands is fair to you? Because they could have avoided it by not committing a crime? A head for an eye and the world goes something.

We can tell people to not steal AND condemn people who beat thieves to death.

If we're ok with random people beating criminals to death, does that mean we are ok with the death penalty being on the table for all crimes?

Should stealing generally get the death penalty? No.
Should thieves get any sympathy if they're beaten to death? No. Informed consent. Frankly, the world is better off with them dead.
Is that guy a threat to the general public? Probably not.
Do we have laws against what he did and should laws be enforced? Yes.
Should the penal system be about rehabilitation whenever possible? Yes.
Is it going to be that difficult to rehabilitate someone who's only crime was over reacting to a crime against them? . . . if you're in favor of hate crime legislation, you must concede that intent and state of mind matters. There's no reason to throw the book at this man.

Thief shouldnt have stolen, Morris took it too far. He probably had some bloodlust in him and was just waiting for that perfect excuse to let loose.

Thats what Im saying. I understand that having someone steal from you is maddening but reacting in that way and not being able to stop yourself until the man was dead shows that Morris is a bigger threat to society than the petty thief was. Both were in the wrong. Morris more so. Anyone defending Morris has issues.

Correct. Adrenaline for these sorts of fights tends to wear off after only a minute or two, three or so for athletic people who aren't trained in combat sports. Like, I can still run a 7 minute mile without much issue until after I finish. But could I kick somebody or something for more than a minute before I start to hurt? Not at all.

The fact that people tried to separate the two and he kept going back? It's not him acting on instinct unless his instinct IS to kill.

I feel like victim blaming is totally justified in a case like this. Don't play a game you're afraid to lose. But the other guy is definitely a murderer straight out and should be treated like one. Breaking some bones would have been over the top but understandable, but killing the guy is too far.

@ everyone defending this

Have you ever pirated movies or downloaded a ROM of a game you didn't own? Have you ever stolen something from a store as a kid, even if it was just a pack or gum? Would you feel it is acceptable if the people you stole from tracked you down and pummeled you to death, no matter how minor you might consider the stolen items?
