I have no idea who Lou Williams is but he doesn't seem very bright, if well-intentioned.

I mean, at that point he was practically in a crazed fan hostage situation rather than a carjacking, so keeping the guy sweet was probably the best thing to do

This right here. Jacker still had the means revert it back to a car jacking situation.

Heck, I sure Lou probably wasn't the one to offer.

Sweet Lou did a lot for the city of Philadelphia so the gunman saw it was Lou and didn’t rob him, Lou was able to talk him down.

Lou Williams isn’t some rich guy going through the hood ignorantly… obviously he knows how to handle himself and would know if he’s being carjacked

Making a judgment on someone’s intellect while also admitting you don’t have an idea who they are, says much more about you than it does them.

It wasn't some well-intentioned "change your life" type of situation. It was like I need to stall for some time while I wait for the bodyguard to roll back up.

Im honestly perplexed how you can say he doesn’t seem bright based on successfully de-escalating a life threatening altercation.

He managed to not get robbed, not get shot, and bought enough time for his security to arrive. If that is not intelligence, what is?
