A Nebraska bar owner that killed a rioter who was attacking him and his business has committed suicide, a friend of Jake Gardner has confirmed to The Gateway Pundit.

The bar owner, Jake Gardner, was indicted by a grand jury on counts of manslaughter, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, attempted first-degree assault and making terrorist threats after intense political pressure was placed on the city. The district attorney had originally ruled it was self defense.

On May 30, the 38-year-old veteran confronted a group of rioters outside one of the bars he owns in Omaha and was knocked to the ground.

“From there, he fired two warning shots and tried to get to his feet, prosecutors said. As he did, Gardner got into a fight with one man, James Scurlock, 22. The two scuffled before Gardner fired a shot that killed him,” Yahoo News reports.

The rioter who was shot had repeatedly broken windows at the bar and other businesses in the area.

The incident prompted a wave of further “protests,” particularly after Donald Kleine, the Douglas County attorney, determined that Gardner had acted in self-defense and declined to bring charges.

“A week later, Kleine said in a statement that after hearing from local residents and elected officials he would welcome an outside review ‘in this rare instance.’ He added, ‘I made a decision and I would not change that decision based on everything I know today,'” the Yahoo report explains.

Douglas County District Court Judge Shelly Stratman then appointed a special council, Fredrick Franklin, an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Omaha, to handle the case, though they said they expected the same outcome.

Shall a "Justice for Gardner" protest campaign be started now?

What a POS county attorney, too gutless to stand by his original, correct, decision.

I would bet that Gardner had been a victim of the "justice" system before, and decided it wasn't worth enduring again.

Pray for Kyle Rittenhouse that he will remain strong throughout his ordeal.

The Body of Omaha Bar Owner Jake Gardner Was Found 20 Minutes From Portland

A Nebraska bar owner and US Marine that killed a rioter who was attacking him and his business has committed suicide, a friend of Jake Gardner has confirmed to The Gateway Pundit on Sunday — however, there may be more to this story than initially met the eye.

Gardner’s body was found outside a healthcare clinic in Hillsboro, Oregon — roughly 20 minutes outside of Portland.

Friends of Gardner have expressed disbelief that Gardner was suicidal.

“I’ll be honest Cassandra, I’ve known Jake ten years, spent thousands of hours with him, and he isn’t the guy to kill himself,” Gardner’s longtime friend and radio host JD Sharp told the Gateway Pundit. “He sent me a message last week telling me he was sober for a year, and had just written a book.”

Sharp added that people were doxxing his mother and that his family was receiving death threats.

“Bottom line, without pressure from BLM the grand jury would have never been called,” Sharp added. “The leader of that push, JaKeen Fox, wrote tweets saying ‘Rest In Power’ to the Dallas cop killer.”

He was a veteran, probably of Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

Being charged probably made him feel like all he did in volunteering was a massive mistake.

I researched this guy a bit. Was a marine from 2000-2005 and suffered from PTSD. Was a down to earth kinda guy from a brief street interview he gave. Owned 2 bars and was assaulted on the night of the shooting. He shot and killed a black guy after 2 warning shots. Bystanders knew he had a gun and warned the assailant, but to no avail.

Go fund me cancelled him, even though the criminal he shot has raised over $275 K.

GoFundMe should change their name slightly. They pass judgement on people before any trial take place. It's a site that promotes racism.

Jake looks like he might have been some sort of Nebraska Indian?

R.I.P.
