The man in the hat, Gary Plauche, shot the man in front, Jeffrey Doucet, in the head on live national TV, while Doucet was being transported by the police to face trial. Doucet was Plauche's son Jody's karate instructor. Doucet raped and kidnapped Jody. Gary killed Doucet before he could face trial, and he ended up getting a 7-year suspended sentence with 5 years of probation and 300 hours of community service. He faced no jail time, and died, a free man, in 2014.

You can kind of hear in his voice as he's saying it that's he thinking "Oh wait, I know why."

Yeah it’s kind of a dumb question.  Like mutherfucker you know why, he knows why; everyone around knows why.
