Unsolved Carolinas: The Roadside Shooting of Scott Spivey
A fatal confrontation has left more questions than answers… while exposing yet another example of corrupt policing in the Palmetto State.

It’s an interesting case. If you pick a fight, it’s hard to claim self defense. And since they already knew the guy had a firearm, they can’t say they couldn’t foresee that an altercation would likely turn into a shooting. I’m a 2A advocate, but it’s hard to justify what happened here. 100% avoidable.
Not in any way, shape, or form, a “stand your ground” defensible case since Boyd admits pursuing Spivey ” We’re gonna keep trying to follow him”. Minimum of manslaughter charges for Boyd and Williams!
Sounds like Spivey was menacing lots of people; both by driving aggressively and impaired, and by pointing a loaded gun a random motorists along the way. While a case “might” be made for Boyd not following him, it appears to me that Boyd and company eliminated a threat before it became someone else’s problem. Were I traveling those stretches of road on that day and approximate time, I would feel that I owed Boyd a debt of gratitude for having spared me from harm caused by Spivey’s gun handling, his driving, or having to myself deal with the problem. To be honest, I am happy I was not put in such a position.
This type of yellow journalism has become a hallmark of Fits News in recent years. The two female writers (I will not call them journalists) seem to love nothing better than listening to family members of deceased persons who, because their family member died and they are naturally unhappy about it, want to ruin the life or lives of a person or persons they blame for their loss. The two ladies seem quite adept at creating “victims” where there were none, and perhaps trying to ruin additional lives where such was not called for. No wonder a legal firm sponsors this drivel. Lawyers love it when people get dragged into court unnecessarily. They get rich off of the wins or losses of their clients.
If Fits News allows this type writing to continue, I predict they will one day step on their own peepee and wind up getting sued for these articles.
Mandy is way ahead of you on this one
Maybe but I think they downplayed caller1. No one ever mentions if Spivey actually fired his weapon which is critical IMO.

Maybe they should have of not provoked a drunken man. This could have all been avoided. Very sad. Boyd is a little man. Showing off for his fried if you ask me. But no one asked me I guess.
This could’ve all been avoided what a tragedy. They should not have continued to harass him by following him ridiculous
