Florida man found guilty of manslaughter in parking lot shooting that led to 'Stand Y

[Blackcat13th]

Seriously, her boyfriend was murdered right in front of her and you’re concerned about whether or not she got an parking ticket?

Someone being selective?

[domer76]

All you can do is speculate. But a good rule of thumb, dont roll up on people. If he had a problem and he wasnt prepared to die suddenly, he should have done the right thing and called the cops instead of trying to take mattets into his own hands. But he didnt did he. And now he's dead. The lesson will be learned by others. (Unless they're stupid) so where do you like to park, just wondering.

Yep. Drunk AND stupid.

[Blackcat13th]

Dude says common sense is stupid, hmmm probably talking to a moron that cant stay on topic.

[MateoMtnClimber]

The headlines got this wrong. He abandoned SYG and went simply with self defense.

What I want to know, is the racial makeup of the jury?

The racial makeup of the jury? Why?

[MateoMtnClimber]

I don't know all the details of the case. From what I've seen, and I haven't followed this, some guy was talking to a woman in a car. Then, some other guy walks out of a store and casually walks towards the guy talking to the woman. Then, with no warning, the guy violently shoves this guy off his feet and he ends up on the ground. Then, the guy on the ground moves around a bit and pulls out a gun. The 'pusher' sees the gun, but doesn't raise his hands, back away, or verbally 'surrender'. By just standing there, the 'pusher' is maintaining a threatening posture. The guy on the ground shoots the 'pusher' in the chest. The 'pusher' grabs his chest and now decides to back away. Actually, running away and apparently making a conscious decision not to physically attack the guy on the ground anymore.

In my opinion, the 'pusher' gave NO WARNING of a confrontation. Sorta' like a 'sucker punch'. Real chickenshit in most guys opinions. Then when clearly confronted with a gun pointed at him, stood there with a "Fuck you" attitude. After receiving a shot to the chest, his attitude changed, he was no more confrontational, and no longer had a "Fuck you" attitude.

In my opinion, the 'Stand Your Ground' law is to protect the physically weak from the aggressive types. Like in this case. There was NO REASON for the 'Sucker Punch'. Now Evince, I doubt you have been in many 'street fights', but the person standing is in a superior position to the guy on the ground. If there was no gun, and the guy on the ground attempted to get up, my prediction would be that the 'pusher' would have kicked the guy in the face before he had time to get up.

The guy that got shot, ... got exactly what he deserved. And that Message should have been announced. The physically aggressive attacking the weak will not be tolerated.

In a single asinine post you claimed what "most guys" think, told the other poster he can't fight, and decided that the guy deserved to get murdered. You're a piece of shit.

[MateoMtnClimber]

In my view, the 'pusher' was still in an 'attack position' and did not retreat. He maintained a "Fuck you" attitude and was still an immediate threat to the guy on the ground.
Do you think if this guy on the ground would have attempted to get up, the 'pusher' wouldn't have rushed in and kicked this guy in the face?
Think about it, Rolly-Polly guy on the ground has to roll over, he's on his knees, needs both hands on the ground to get up. That's when 'pusher' rushes in for face kick.
The 'pusher' never retreated from an 'attach position'.

So because a fat boy needs two hands to stand up, the guy defending his family deserves to get shot to death? Is that what you're claiming?

Is America turning into a nation of cowards, bullying out of fear?

(AllHipHop Opinion) Once upon a time, in Delaware, I was driving alone in my cherry red Ford Escort GT in a rural area just outside of Glasgow. I was driving and somehow got into a confrontation with a pick-up truck-driving redneck, who decided calling me "n-gger" was a good idea. Also, we were a stone's throw from Klan country to give you some context. This was the 90's and Hip-Hop was still aggressive, political and raged against injustices. Him calling me a n-gger meant it was time to fight. I stopped my car in the distance and so did he. The very moment I got out of my car, he quickly yelled to his wife to get his gun.

Immediately. At that point, I decided it was in my best interest to leave. I was unarmed.

My Sunday morning was ruined for me. After a vacation, I was able to see what I had heard: another unarmed man was shot in Florida. This time, it was over a parking space. A handicap parking space. The matter resulted in Markeis McGlockton, 29, being shot dead by Michael Drejka, 47, after a shove put him on his butt. Mind you, Drejka was raging at McGlockton family - his girlfriend and their children - as they sat in a minivan. Drejka's angst was such that somebody eventually summoned McGlockton, who came running to defend his family.

He did what I would have done.

Stand your ground law is a coward's law that protects cowardly acts.

Hello Althea,



Well, the crazy thing is the handicap spot is over at the side of the building and there were other spots that were closer to the front door.

I seem to remember seeing that when the case first came into the public eye.

[Althea]

When one citizen sees another citizen flaunting laws meant to benefit the disabled or any other disadvantaged group, or even the general public at large, that citizen has the right to verbally counsel the offending party about the error of their ways.

But in no circumstance, does the person being verbally confronted, have the right to walk up and shove that person to the ground.

I'm guessing that, had the people who illegally parked in the handicapped space not been black, they could've made it into an episode of that drippy, goody-two-shoes, sjw bullshit TV show What Would You Do?, with the people who confronted and berated the illegal parker being portrayed as the "good guys" and the illegal handicap space parker as the "bad guy".

Of course, the inconsiderate, law breaking handicap parking space taker would've been a white male while at least one or more of the decent, justice upholding warriors would've been black.

In this case, the husband of the scofflaw who illegally took a parking space reserved for the disabled, didn't bother to try to diffuse the situation with words. He Went straight to physical violence when he just walked right up and shoved the man to the ground.

That having been said, there was also no need for the white guy to just pull out his gun and shoot without warning the husband first. All he needed to do was point the gun and let him know that any further attempt at physical confrontation would result in the aggressor being shot.

If justice is to be served here, since there are mitigating factors, the shooter will do some prison time, but nowhere near the max. Maybe five years with the possibility of parole after three and a half years or so.

Lessons to be learned by all here. Just because you're a big, aggressive black dude doesn't give you a pass to go shoving smaller guys around just because they made you mad. Just because you're a white right-wing, gun loving goofball who's been itching to shoot someone (especially someone black) doesn't give you the right to shoot and kill someone just because they pushed you down.

And for the rest of you gun goobers, this case is a prime example of why guns in the hands of average citizens always carries with it an inherent danger. Some gun-toting dumbass having a bad day gets pushed over the edge by an otherwise innocuous incident and BANG!!!

Lives end and others are ruined.

He came out and found some guy screaming at his wife. We don't know what the wannabe meter maid said to the husband before he got shoved.

Ah, I see you've met Jack. Since you failed to agree with him, he will now proceed to insult your man/womanhood and write lurid and plagiarized porn about his feverish fantasies of your sex life.

[Althea]

The video shows no indication of him "screaming" at her. And especially not her kids as you claimed previously.

Arguing is not screaming. "Screaming" is a hyperbolic term used only as an attempt to justify the black guy walking up and physically assaulting the man with no attempt to diffuse the situation verbally.

I agree that shooting him was unnecessary, but the unnecessary physical assault by the black guy should be considered a mitigating circumstance during sentencing.

Watch the whole video. The guy has priors for the same exact issue, and has threatened to shoot other black people in that same parking lot.

[Althea]

That's not what I see.

The "pusher" saw the gun and started backing away.

At that point, the shooter should have verbally warned him and kept his finger off the trigger.

Two idiots who learned a lesson the hard way.

Agree
