Despite the many details that have emerged since 60-year-old Jiansheng Chen was shot and killed by a security guard last month, one remains unclear.
Was the guard allowed to carry a gun that night, or not?
Representatives for the River Walk Community Association and the Chesapeake-based company hired to patrol the River Walk neighborhood where Chens family say he was shot while playing Pokemon Go tell different stories. The association says its contract called specifically for unarmed guards, while the company says it allowed for guns.
Johnathan Cromwell of Virginia Beach has been charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the Jan. 26 killing. His attorney, Emily Munn, said in an email she had not seen the contract but her client absolutely believed he was allowed to carry a weapon as part of his employment.

George Zimmerman Part II... Another HOA 'security guard' who turns into judge, jury and executioner when you hand him a sidearm with a little bit of authority...

(28,979 posts)One month on the job and he kills a neighbor. Outrageous. He really needs to go to jail. And yet the security company hasn't even fired him. And he will pretend he was in mortal fear of his life from the bad old Asian grandpa playing pokeman. And a jury will side with him because he's white.
Just like black lives, Asian lives don't matter either.
