The Florida man who invoked the "stand your ground" self-defense after shooting a black man in a dispute over a parking space was charged Monday with manslaughter, officials said.

Michael Drejka, 47, was arrested Monday morning in the fatal shooting in July of Markeis McGlockton in Clearwater, Florida.

Show us the arrest records.

There are no arrest records. But the Toad Drejka has a history of "encounters" with law enforcement, which according to another poster can be dregded up at trial.

Not mainstream media propaganda

The day that you're harder on the Media Death Star than I am will never dawn.

I've been chewing on their behind for 21 years on FR, and got their attention, more than once.

The article from the Tampa Bay Times is probably less than what the prosecutors have in hand on the Drejka "incidents".

You don't seem to understand what a dangerous thing it is for the authorities to allow an innocuous-looking poisonous tool like Drejka to roll around armed on the streets.

"It sounds like Drejka has never even been arrested. No, he has not. You can bet the prosecutors have already talked to all the officers involved in those incidents. "

What "incidents"?. Are there secret "incident" records that the rest of us haven't heard about? Was Drejka on double secret probation? Seriously you are just making up stuff for some reason.

You clearly have it in for this guy but I have no idea why.

You STILL didn't read that article, did you?

You're giving the old Freeper tradition of not reading the article before shooting your mouth off a truly noble workout, precision...

Or should I assume that you tool around your city, initiating confrontations and road-rage incidents while packing heat, and that you're OK with the behavior of this vile little poisonous toad?   thinking face

“Since 2012, according to records and interviews, 47-year-old Michael Drejka has been the accused aggressor in four incidents. Investigators documented three cases in police reports.”

Drejka called the Clearwater septic tank company Kelly works for to complain, telling owner John Tyler that he didn't like the way Kelly had talked to him and that he was "lucky I didn't blow his head off."

Welp.

THERE'S a big Whoopsie! if you're preparing for a manslaughter charge.

To be fair, Drejka the Toad didn't blow Markeis McGlockton's head off...

Unfortunately, human minds don’t work like video recorders. The shooter was probably already pumped up with anger while arguing with the woman in the car.

Could have been, should have been, might be. My comments regarding the shooting incident have been strictly based on the best evidence available to me, which is the video.

For example the assault suspect was clearly backing away when he took a fatal round to the chest. Based on the video, it's indisputable.

And most people would react the same way the dead guy did in a parking lot shoving altercation. Gun suddenly pulled on you? Most would back up now. Even most bad guys are not going to continue to advance on the person who just pulled a gun on them.

Question, if the shooter is so easily pumped up while carrying a gun and playing parking lot traffic cop, that would be his issue wouldn't it? He went looking for it. No?

Too bad they didn't take his cwp before he killed someone. In my opinion. Speculating: I wonder if the shooter made a habit of playing cop while armed? Could it be he hoping doing so might facilitate some action?

And is it not true we somewhat known how his, "Human mind" works, when he clearly goes out of his way to play armed traffic enforcer?

The police warned him about taking his cwp a couple of times - but the people he threatened didn't press charges.

Drejka the Poisonous Toad also had a habit of lying in the faces of the officers who stopped him.

As in - they knew he was lying, but couldn't do anything about it.

Oh so these reports resulted in charges being filed right? And what convictions were obtained from all those charges that were never even filed?

I'm not sure who is feeding you this drivel but its exactly that and you should really stop listening. Police reports are considered Hearsay. This isn't the soviet union.

They have some good evidence on the shooter now and it seems he’s got a history. Everything seems to fit.

We’ll see what the jury thinks. I’d guess they convict.

Sad incident..no winners here.

Yes I read the article in the "Anchorage Daily News".

Is that what is setting you off? A fake news story from an Anchorage Alaska news paper?

Yes it's fake news because it contains no facts. It contains allegations of police reports not copies of the police reports. That is to say claims of hearsay not even directly hearsay.

I said earlier that you realize these reports were nothing but I was wrong. It's actually LESS THAN NOTHING.

Lol

I agree he’s very guilty

A 10 spot seems appropriate....not the death penalty

Hey it’ll be rough for someone like him

He’ll check in immediately and eventually go to the boobs and bugs unit
