[plain talk]

Thanks for posting the link with a related article.

There were several incidents described but the last one was quite interesting.

A couple of months ago, Drejka was in the same parking lot outside the same Circle A Food Store at 1201 Sunset Point Road arguing over the same handicap-reserved space, according to a man who said Drejka threatened to shoot him.

Rick Kelly, 31, told the Tampa Bay Times that Drejka circled his tanker truck and confronted him about why he parked there.

Kelly asked why it mattered. He recalled that Drejka said his mom (whom records show died in 2007) is handicapped.

The argument escalated. Drejka yelled, Kelly said, and used a racial slur. Kelly is black. Drejka is white.

Drejka, he said, threatened to shoot him. But the dispute didn’t end there.

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.”

Tyler, a gun owner himself, told the Times he was shocked.

“I said, ‘I’m sorry you feel that way, that you feel that it’s justified to take someone’s life over a parking space,’” he said. “That was the chilling part about it when I found out who it was with the (McGlockton) situation.”

John Tyler will be testifying for the prosecution...

That’s admissible .

Shows prior intent.

And if this gets entered into Drekja’s trial it will demonstrate prior intent and his lawyer will tell him to cut the best deal that he can.
