Mar 24 - Father shot and k*lled man who complimented his son at New Orleans barbershop, police say

 https://www.nola.com/news .. rce=featured-2



In a new sign of how an offhand comment can have fatal consequences in New Orleans, police say the father of a two-year-old boy getting a trim at a barbershop shot and k*lled a customer who complimented the toddler.

Witnesses told police Harold Brooks, 37, had visited the shop, in the 5700 block of Crowder Boulevard, in the past while carrying a gun, investigators wrote in documents filed in Criminal District Court. On March 17, they said, Brooks "became irate" when Kenneth Smith, 56, complimented his son there.

Surveillance video shows Smith leaving the business, soon followed by Brooks and his son in a Jeep Cherokee, according to the documents. The Cherokee slowed next to Smith, walking in the 7000 block of Crowder, where police say he was fatally shot.

The next day, a tipster told police the k*ller lived in the Willowbrook Apartments on Bundy Road, about 1¼ miles from the barbershop, according to the documents. Investigators found the Cherokee there on March 19 and traced it to the toddler's mother. Police said Brooks' drivers license photo matched the man seen in video leaving the barbershop after Smith.

Brooks' defense attorney would not comment Thursday.

Magistrate Commissioner Peter Hamilton set Brooks' bail to $500,000.

This scene was always off to me.

It felt too unrealistic. Their whole dynamic was off. It didn't match.

A street pimp hustler sonning a marine straight from the bush?

Hmn. Okay.

There's gotta be more to this. Idk tho you never know who has a screw loose out here.

Lock em up.

What was the compliment

DId dude say his son was cute or something like that

My cousin dont fu*k with one of the barbers in the city cuz he told his step son he use to be cool with his mama

it definitely wasn't realistic, Lorenz Tate character in real life would have absolutely interrupted the conversation to introduce himself. I know I would have

That’s a shame

This is what insecure men do.

That would have been the pure and easy minimum.

The reality is though, a bush marine would have skinned Cutty alive and probably ate him like a bucket of chicken.

That’s why the movie is a classic one watch for me.

This n*gga just survived YEARS in a war, only to get sonned by someone that he could easily dispose of.

I can try to bend my mind for movie logic, but once that bend turns into a snap, I’m out.

Yeah he would've flipped in real life. That n*gga had crazy PTSD. Cutty would've had a serious problem on his hands.

We don't know what was said. The guy could have said some Pedo sh*t.

n*ggas be some emotional a*s bi*ches, always jumping to violence for the smallest slight like that delusional a*s respect actually benefits them in any way.Now you gotta lay up in a cement box surrounded by retarted emotional a*s bi*ch n*ggas while walking on egg shells for the rest of your life while your son becomes a degenerate. Father of the fu*king year...

Now he's gonna be getting complimented by all the guys trying to r*pe him in prison.

They don’t think about that just the moment as being seen to be “tough”.

Go be tough in jail sir. Enjoy.

Or "looking good like your daddy."

Witnesses in the barbershop would’ve said as much when interviewed.

Why are you even considering giving the benefit of the doubt to someone who would commit a murder IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILD?
