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

Isn't SYG all about your own feelings of impending danger. Which is why MD will probably skate free.
MM isn't around to tell us how he felt at the time. IMO

No, it's about if you have REASON to believe you are in danger. That is why there is no doubt about D's self defense. There is video showing that he was attacked without warning. There is no doubt that he was in danger. MM already proved that he was violent and had no qualms about acting upon his tendencies.

D had no record because you lose your CCW permit for illegal acts. The only one eager to get into a violent confrontation was MM, just look at the video. Haven't you seen it? At proper, normal speed?

Have you read the article which documents his threatening behaviour to others in the past? This was not a frightened man, he enjoyed the power his CC gave him and took every opportunity to bully people with it. Most of them minorities or women.

He had a CCW permit, and if he acted in the way those biased articles claim, he wouldn't have a CCW permit. That's just a fact of life.

reading the articles linked here? Why bother when you think you know everything?

Silly.

So, you believe some officers statements, but not others.

So everyone (including LE) from way in the past are telling fibs about MD?

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

the fact that he had a CCW does not mean he has not displayed "threatening behavior". Although some obviously see it that way, real life is not that black and white. It's just not. Much like our world is becoming, it is all different shades of [grey].

Thread is closed for review. Way off topic posts and insulting each other. Once again, we can't have a discussion about current events without people losing their minds.

Jacob Banks "Unknown"

"Look at all this heartache, what is left?
Forgetting how it started, this is how it ends, oh no
I know I've done some wrong and I'll pay for it
But it's your turn to talk, for once I'm listening...

... Tell me you've been tortured
Tell me you've been beaten
And what I've done to you
Even if it doesn't matter
Doesn't matter what's true...

Tell me that I'm unknown to you... "

Michael Drejka charged with manslaughter over shooting of Markeis McGlockton in Clearwater

Following weeks of national debate, protests and calls for a federal investigation, the Florida State Attorney’s Office will file criminal charges in the fatal Clearwater shooting that sparked debate over whether or not the state's controversial "stand your ground" law should apply.

 

[sorrell skye]

I'm glad that Drejka has been charged. He mistakenly believed that he could kill an unarmed man. I hope he's convicted.

I hope this case leads to changes in the SYG laws.

I don't think they'll get a conviction. But, it hopefully will result in changes to the law.

Not weak or old.

He sure looks angry though.

Let us always be willing to listen to one another.

Let us always be willing to hear one another.

Let us always be willing to take just a moment, before it's too late.

Let us all try to live in peace.
