Hapgood “seemed scared, but it wasn’t fully shown,” the source recalled. “You could also sense he was beyond angry and also came off slightly deranged. He wasn’t finishing sentences.”

The worker said he tried reasoning with Hapgood.

“I was explaining you have to allow [Mitchel] to breathe, so ease off of him.”

“Security asked me to find duct tape,” he recalled. “I looked for anything just to restrain Kenny, so that Mr. Hapgood would get off of him. I couldn’t find any.”

As the banker loosened up, the source recalls, Mitchel regained consciousness and said, “No, no, no. Can I speak?”

“You don’t have a f-?-king thing to say,” Hapgood allegedly said before tightening his hold again.

“You could see Kenny’s feet in the air,” the source said.

Then Hapgood’s wife walked in. She looked shocked and asked her husband if he was OK, the witness said.

It's odd that the worker didn't just yank Hapgood off the guy but I assume the worker didn't want to get accused of assaulting the white American guest.

Why would the hotel employee tank Hapgood off of Kenny?

Because Hapgood was in the process of killing Kenny.

And because you feel sorry for the would be-thief.

Did anyone test Hapgood for drugs? However you feel about the victim, it's odd that Hapgood refused to let the guy breathe. Or talk.

I could see my DH doing absolutely the same. Restraining the guy until the police came. Another hotel employee who appeared to be the intruder’s friend wouldn’t convince him to let Kenny go.

Restraining yes. But you can restrain in a way that doesn't cut off oxygen. That's why I think he didn't want Kenny to talk. And explain what happened.

And his father and brother say he was a nice young man, or at least not dumb enough to try to rob a hotel guest. (Faint praise.)

Never mind the TRO from the GF and the toxicology report.

I know people who know him. I think this is a possibility. He came to sell him drugs and then tried to rob him. That’s the most likely scenario, but Kenny was also Mia for two hours and had a ton of alcohol and drugs in his system so who knows how he was acting.

I could totally believe the guy came to sell him drugs (although the fact he was missing for 2 hours and coked up makes pure robbery also seem plausible), but he then attacked him. Even if his daughters came home unexpectedly, why would he kill him? Makes no sense. He could have just said he was there to fix something. He was a maintenance man in a uniform, that excuse would have have been completely believable. I could completely believe he didn’t get up because he thought the guy who showed up was in on it or at least might have been. He may not even have realized he showed up because his aughters ran for help and thought he was just hanging around serving as lookout.

Oh, I forgot - Hapgood is white and blond, so obviously this is a case of “white privilege.” JFC.

I don’t have an issue with Hapgood’s initial actions, but I do have issue with him not allowing medical care. The “self defense” part was over at that point. Kenny was not a threat, and there were other people/workers in the room.

You mean not trusting the other hotel employees and wanting the police to deal with things?

Would you have done anything differently than he did? If you were in that situation?

He was repeatedly asked to allow the man to breathe. At that point, killing him was a conscious decision. Also, I don’t buy or use drugs...so I doubt this will ever happen to me.

According to some articles, he did ease up when asked. So there's that.

If Kenny died from the drugs in his system, then at no point was killing him "a conscious decision".

Pesky facts. They contradict your scenario.

Sorry. I only trust random posts on Facebook.

+1

+2. And to the other PP, yes both of my daughters would easily stand with their dad the way that girl is in the photo. Not strange at all the me. I’d stand with my own father that way too.

+3
Of course. He’s simply hugging his daughter.

Here’s the thing: you just completely made that up, pulled that “hypothetical” out of thin air. There is no indication that Hapgood used drugs - none. You’re just looking for some way to make this his fault, and not the fault of the strung out, drunk guy with a knife. Why is that?

A random FB post? More than likely written by a friend of Kenny’s? Meanwhile, the coroner’s report says that Kenny probably died due to the amount of coke in his system. I think I’ll take the coroner’s word over some random FB person.

They found drugs IN Kenny. Enough to kill him.

Was that writer getting paid by the word? I couldn’t finish that article. That is documentary level detail.
