An argument over a handicapped parking spot at a convenience store in Florida led to a fatal shooting and the man who pulled the trigger won’t be arrested under the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law, authorities said.
Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters during a Friday press conference that Thursday’s shooting death of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old father of three, is “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” the Tampa Bay Times reports.
“I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call,” Gualtieri told reporters, adding that his agency will now forward the case to the State Attorney’s Office for a final decision.

amen.
It does rise to the level of ending someone’s life, because exactly what happened.
That’s how fast you can lose your life in this world.
You people are clearly not watching the video. Try viewing frame by frame. It’ll clarify everything.
I watched a man get attacked and then shot. That’s all that needs to be seen. The rest is white noise.
Get your head out of your ass lady.
Your man was a punk as thug and now he is dead.
I din do nuffins
What if the the black guy’s victim can’t see that as a result of the violent assault he just received?
Pretty sure he isn’t watching form the corner of the roof. Pretty sure he’s watching from his ass on the ground with a violent man standing over him preparing to dish out some more.
Once the gun was drawn, the decision to fire was already made.
The thug’s opportunity to back up was before he pushed the man to the ground and then further advanced on him.
Too bad, so sad.
I believe that is all you saw. Hopefully, you'll never serve on a jury.
I most certainly did watch it.
I’m not going to defend the assailant from his victim.
Sorry, you can, but I’m not.
See that’s the big difference between you and me. I’m not defending *anyone*. My comments are strictly based on the only evidence I currently have, which is the video.
So if McGlockton had come out and instead of pushing Drejka had pulled out a gun and shot him, would he also get off under “stand your ground”? After all he could say he was defending his girlfriend from an aggressive individual.
Its 110 here today, the subsaharan dust and ozone are killing me. I don’t use the handicap spot and I have COPD.
I hope they charge this enabled 24 year old BEEOTCH.
ironically that’s the same thought I had about you. can’t discern between threat and no threat
his GF wasn’t under threat, as clearly seen in the video. Drejka was standing 4’ from the car window talking to her
Race. Race. Race.
You can’t be putting your hands on someone because you don’t like his words
Precisely
Baby daddy made an extreme error in judgement
Two questions.
1. How far was the assault suspect from the white guy when the white guy was assaulted? Inches away, right?
2. By the time the white guy pulled the trigger, how far away was the black guy as he continued moving away from the with guy?
You have it screwed up
The man who objected was forcefully pushed to the ground by the idiot entitled jerk who parked in the handicapped spot. Man on ground felt threatened and shot the bully
The guy on the ground felt threatened. And who wouldn’t by a larger Billy who has already respond d overly aggressively to words?
