Drejka was a "dog in the manger"...
Do YOU hang out in parking lots "guarding" handicapped or other parking spaces?

Britany Jacobs, the girlfriend of the man shot and killed in a Florida parking lot last week, says her boyfriend was just coming to her defense and the gunman “wanted someone to be angry at.” Now she wants “justice,” she says.
Jacobs, who witnessed the shooting along with the couple’s 5-year-old son, said she and her two small children were waiting in the car for her boyfriend, Markeis McGlockton, while he ran into a convenience store in Clearwater, Florida. Onlooker Michael Drejka got out of his parked car and began “harassing” her about being parked in a handicap space, she said.
Surveillance video showed McGlockton exiting the store and shoving Drejka to the ground. Drejka then drew a handgun and shot and killed McGlockton.

One thing for sure, the guy was a good shot.
You wouldn’t protect your woman?

Men need to tell women that if she picks fights, then it is her fight.
Yes, I agree. Charge him and let him explain. If the assault was over, wrong to then shoot the guy.
This guy was just looking for someone to shoot.
I knew someone that was just like this guy. He started picking fights with everyone as soon as he got his concealed weapons permit.
Of course she would say that.
The Nuffin' clan is notorious for this.
Poor Dindu was just ready to start medical school and turn his life around, too.
What's the big deal about shoving someone violently to the ground? Assuming there were two bullies involved. Who was the greater one who provoked the incident beyond words?
The physically aggressive demeanor suggests this was not the first time the pacifist Dindu resorted to that solution to resolve a disagreement.
“It is not a “stand your ground” shooting! It’s a shooting. Maybe it will be ruled self-defense, maybe it won’t. Either way, “stand your ground” has nothing to do with it.”
Well you need to call the Pinellas County District Attorney’s office immediately and explain to them why FL’s Stand You Ground law does not apply in this case. They obviously do not understand the law as you do.
I wonder if you would be whistling a different tune if one of your family members had been killed over a parking space.
Like the old man in Florida I am getting too old to fight and will also shoot you.
I don’t support them using the handicapped space even for one minute. Still, that’s not an crime where the perp is exposed to capital punishment as a result.
If I came out of a place and someone was in my wife’s face cursing her out, I might use physical means to separate them. That is also not a crime where the pusher is exposed to a capital punishment.
As for standing his ground, the people standing their ground were the two who had chosen to park where they shouldn’t. It was none of the business of this man that sought to take them to task. He should have gone about his business and left them alone. It’s up to law enforcement to take them to task.
When he walked up and engaged the female of the two, she was standing her ground. He was the one who approached.
I have very little sympathy for the guy that allowed himself to get too angry about the parking infraction, took matters into his own hands to give the female of the two grief over it, and then objected to the male figure separating the two of them by pushing him away.
Pulling a weapon and shooting a man who pushed you away from yelling at his wife, just doesn’t seem warranted to me.
This escalated solely due to the man jumping in where he shouldn’t have, and I think a judge sooner or later will come to that same conclusion.
The more publicity this gets the more people will think twice about abusing handicapped parking.
The headline is wrong of course
It should have said—man shot after viciously shoving another man hard to the ground (and looking like he was going to continue to beat him)
I’m sure the racially biased media is going to play the race card all over this now. Like always. White can never be right.
Yes, at least he did seem to have a power-complex regarding moral superiority over handicap spots.
First thread about this

Somewhere in there a poster found an article about his own history, including IIRC threatening or brandishing the gun. Guy might be a bit too high-&-mighty, and thus might be a bit trigger-happy.
This does not sound like a good shooting, but it’s ABC so who knows.
A man who gets involved with a quarrel not is his own is like a man grabbing a strange dog by the ears.. Proverbs. It wasn’t his quarrel, there was no physical altercation, just yelling going on. he could have just minded his own business.
“If she was afraid, why get out of the car?”
EXACTLY! Clearly in video she exits her car and is standing right next to the guy she is soooo afraid of when her boyfriend knocks the much smaller man VIOLENTLY to the pavement.
Clearly an unprovoked aggravated assault by the boyfriend.
Video says it all. Florida law explains it.
Of course I would. Not familiar with the whole story. That’s just my POV.
I don’t know how long Parking Wars has been on, but I just now got into it(antenna TV, John Walsh’s justice network).
In some cities, it’s a 300 fine for parking in a handicap spot.
