FL - Markeis McGlockton shot and killed in front of family, Clearwater, July 2018

So, when people say that because D spoke to the woman in the car, the man in the store had the right to attack him and D didn't have the right to do anything other than defend himself with his own fighting ability? When you see a larger, younger, stronger man attack an older weaker man and demand the weaker to not defend himself with a gun, you just said the strong have the right to attack the weak.

1. It has been reported Drejka did not "talk" he intensly harassed. It became a big incident outside the store. Thats from MSM.

2. I think Markeis and Drejka were the same size, prove me wrong?

3. Do you consider 47 to be old? Thats a hell of an age to consider elderly.

God forbid you find yourself in the same situation. McGlockton hammered a man half his size and about twice his age to the ground without provocation. That is an irrational act. Who's to say he was going to stop there? If Derjka doesn't pull his gun, maybe McGlockton boots him in the head? Yes he backed up, only when he saw the gun though.

I don't go around looking to get into physical confrontations with people over parking places. I don't carry a loaded weapon, verbally harassing people.

Twice his age. That's funny. People on this thread acting like 47 is infirm, weak and ready to be put out to pasture. Please. Dude had a lot of anger, energy, and hate in him.

Intensely harassed? I don't think so.
Where is the MSM link that Drejka "intensely harassed"?

 

[bluesneakers]

Perhaps thats because you have to determine that the victim was afraid for his life. Reverse the roles in this crime as an example, if Derjka had pushed McGlockton, would McGlockton be justified in shooting Derjka? Likely not given the age and size difference between the two men. But i'm just theorizing here, its a stupid law IMO.

Neither was justified in their actions, IMO, but at the end of the day one of them is still alive. One man took another's life and doesn't have to answer for it because Florida 2018.

Drejka got out of his car, circled Jacobs car and started to harass her in a very intense manner. IMO that is a very scary things as almost all the recent mass shooters resemble and act like Drejka did.

If you actually look at the video, Markeis takes 2 steps back before the gun was ever pulled. Markeis pushed Drejka away from his family (drejka was screaming and aggressively pointing in a threatening manner) and then immediately stepped back.

When Markeis was shot he was turning to walk away and was hit in the left side. His hips and feet were pointed away from Drejka.

You are making stuff up. Drejka went to the car and checked for a handicapped badge. He didn't circle the car. MM didn't push him away from his family, he simply plowed him over. And again, you can't hear anything on the video, so your account that Drejka was screaming is based on what? His wife's account?

Drejka is 1

Drejka is 155lbs. MM is probably double that.

And yes, 47 is old if you are facing a guy half your age.

He is accused of killing someone in a parking spot dispute. Authorities say he was standing his ground.

"Also in the lot was Drejka, a regular at the Circle A who regularly took issue with able-bodied people parking in the reserved spot. He circled Jacob’s car, looking for a handicap decal and, finding none, proceeded to forcefully explain to her the finer points of Florida’s disabled parking regulations."

WATCH: Pinellas County Sheriff says no charges for 'Stand Your Ground' shooter

"Another person by the name of Michael Drejka, who’s 47 years old, white male, arrived at the store. He lives in the area, and was a frequent customer of the store. And somebody who others have said complained about people parking in the handicap spots. And he had an issue with people who illegally parked in handicapped spots at that store. So apparently, Drejka gets out of his car, and is checking around Jacob's car, and looking for handicapped decals or permits or anything that would authorize them to park where they did.

When he didn’t see that, he confronted Jacobs, and by all accounts, they got into a pretty significant yelling match. And there was no physical violence, there was no threats, but it was a disturbance. They were yelling at each other, and he was complaining about her parking in the handicapped spot."

They look the same size to me.

All I see is a large man looming over his victim who he brutally slammed into the concrete and is now trying to defend himself.

It's hard to tell seeing that the victim is on the ground looking up at his assailant who is looming over him.

They are standing side by side. Same size

 

[glamourkitty1922]

No, M is much wider and muscular than D. That's easily seen in the video. Look again.

IMO Drejka looked alot more thicker than Markeis.

What would he have done if he hadn't had the gun. Stood up and put some distance between he and the person that shoved him would be my guess.
That is the problem.People rely to much on having a weapon at hand.

 

[2Hope4]

Thankful for the right to have a gun to protect myself. How many victims do we see on this very site? How many that would have survived, had they had the means to kill whoever was trying to or as in many cases, did kill them? This man didn't become another victim. Had he not had a gun to defend himself, he may have ended up dead himself.

 

[glamourkitty1922]

IMO Drejka looked alot more thicker than Markeis.

Being fat isn't the same as being muscular. It was self defense and D was weaker and older than M. It was a coward's move to attack him behind his back.

 

[glamourkitty1922]

Probably try to crawl away and hope his attacker would have mercy. I don't see any mercy coming from that corner so it's a good thing D had a CCW. Otherwise, he would be the statistic instead of his attacker.

The thing is you don't have a duty to retreat with the way the law is written.

 

[glamourkitty1922]

And that is good for people in D's position, flat out at his attacker's feet looking up at him in about the most vulnerable position known. D is very very lucky. He could have easily been killed. Many people in that position don't survive their attacker's assault.
