Don't be naive. Those comments only come when the criminal/suspect is Black.

The suspect is of Korean descent, and his race makes up the smallest percentage of criminal offenders in the United States. Want to guess who makes up the largest?

I know the "wannabe tough guy", I've known him since elementary school, and he is not a tough guy at all. He's a good guy; always has been. None of us have any idea what really happened just because we've read a news article. I don't mean to make excuses. He clearly lost his sh*t and that's not acceptable, and there have to be consequences for that, but he's been a good person as long as I've known him, which is a long time, so let's hope he's not in for too tough of a ride in prison, because if someone like him deserves that kind of suffering, than there's not many of us who don't.

Maybe it's because his buddy owns CVP.

Kamenetz made the same consistent statements with each and every bar-related crime incident: the liquor license holder can't evade responsibility just because the crime occurred outside of his door, when the bar was the earlier intervening cause (serving intoxicated customers, drawing oversized crowds). By the way, the Recher entered into a written plea agreement with the liquor board.

Mel,

Police did not provide a booking photo before this article was published. We've updated with one now.

It is illegal for most people in Maryland to carry a concealed weapon. Regardless of the altercation, this guy should not have been carrying a gun and should not have fired shots in a crowd. I hope he gets convicted. I can't believe there are people on here defending his actions.

'.... If you where out numbered and in fear for you life, how would you react ?' - stop going to bars, drinking, being obnoxious and under no circumstances do not carry a gun. All you youngsters can start by doing that.

Considering he stopped driving his truck to get out and reach for his weapon, when he could have driven away, it is clear that his intention was to shoot someone. Do I think he's a bad person? No. Do I think he's a complete idiot for stopping the truck, reaching for a gun, getting knocked out, and then getting up and trying to hit someone and missing almost every shot when shooting into a crowd? Hell yea! He'll be booked for a while, so stop defending him. I know the scenario, I was there.

I cannot believe what I am reading. Do you realize someone could have been killed and for that he would live with his 'mistake' for the rest of his life. He would have welcomed a beating by a group, rather than a gang rape in the clinker ! What do you think hurts more ?

Jason, this guy's 26 years old, living in a pretty nice house owned by his parents on the other side of the country, so he probably doesn't pay rent. Exactly what kind of "fights" and "struggles" has he had that we should forgive his uncivilized and potentially deadly rampage? Did his daddy make him get a job to pay the utilities on his half million dollar house? Did people make fun of his silly beard? Since you supposedly know him so well, please enlighten us all!

Please, clue us in as to why we should have any sympathy for this Bozo! Help us to lose our ignorance regarding this upstanding gentleman.

While I completely understand no one knows the whole story, no matter how the altercation started there was no reason for a gun to be fired period. You cannot argue that. Under no circumstances should someone have a gun in public, regardless if you have a license or not; unless you are a police officer, which he is not. To argue that we 'read a 15 sentance article' & we do not know the 'facts' makes YOU look clueless and ignorant, not us. My grandfather is a retired police officer and he didn't even carry his gun with him when he was off duty, why should this person feel so entitled to carry one on him while he is out drinking? Put yourself on the other side of the story, if a loved one or a friend was killed or injured because someone made a snap decision that they were 'outnumbered and in fear of their life', how would you feel? Would you argue then that this person just made a mistake? I would say this is larger than a mistake; for you to defend him it absolutely asinine.
