@Jerry Alexander Son, I've been in this kind of situation,  and the man I was with didn't even have to say a word...he walked over and got the little twerp to back off.  This young man did NOT deserve to die. But unless that dipwad was moving towards me, or putting hands on me, the guy I was with wouldn't have pushed the twerp.

@Cynicalsinner91 yea and earlier I said that there were no winners, soooo who's being selective?? You take it easy too ✌🏿

@Jerry Alexander i never once said it was kosher for the guy to shoot him, in a comment earlier i said the shooter should be fried for what he did. I also said both played the stupid game and won a stupid prize. But its ok be selective about what i said. Take it easy bub

@Cynicalsinner91 your logic makes no sense. You're saying it's not ok to escalate from arguing to shoving but it is ok to escalate from shoving to killing.. I swear some of you folks just be saying anything, you all are out here defending the offenders better than their lawyers.. 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂

@mathew cuthbert he ran up behind and shoved him. I hate to break it to you but that falls under being violent. Why couldnt he walked up and ask what the the fuck is going on instead of shoving the dude from behind? Why is it such an odd stance to not react to something verbal with something physical?

@Cynicalsinner91 bruh he wasnt even trying to be violent he was literally pushing him away from his girlfriend its not like he went up and tried to beat the crap outta him

@Cynicalsinner91 bruh he wasnt even trying to be violent he was literally pushing him away from his girlfriend its not like he went up and tried to beat the crap outta him

@Jerry Alexander and youll likely end up getting shot for assaulting someone like the father did here. This is what i dont understand with people now that they think it is remotely ok to become violent over a VERBAL ALTERCATION. The father could of VERBALLY defended his wife rather then physically assault the guy which lead to his own demise. Not victim blaming but like people need to act civilized for fuck sakes.

@dualspectrumreality ytilaermurtcepslaud careful man you can go spreading truths like that on the internet

@bigbodyrover you act like dan was saying the shooting was justified. Dan was talking about how to avoid a situation that ended up with the father dead because he got violent over a verbal altercation. You people are wild do you also support antifa as well?

@mathew cuthbert so what youre saying is it is ok to be violent with someone over a verbal altercation? Interesting train of thought you have there.

@Nomana yeah that’s a great point. He was looking for something and he found it.

@Weezy Peezy think about ur own logic: These crazy people will find any minor thing to attack u over.. So even if u do everything right THEY WILL STILL FIND SOMETHING if that's their intention. It is easy to pick a fight with someone over nothing. The family being in the handicap parking spot had nothing to do with his obvious dream to kill someone and get away w it via "self defense."  He purposefully started confrontations w random people on the road on multiple occasions.

This is American. Dont catch you slipping now.

Both men are to blame. The man who shoot is just more at fault. 100% both are at fault.

There was no good guy in this story.

NO!! HE LOST JIS LIFE BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE WOULD ATTACK THE GUY AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

@モチポンズ YES, it was ok to defend his family, if I'm arguing with your wife and you don't do anything about it then you might as well get a divorce right then and there because you'll never be respected in that marriage again 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

@Jerry Alexander Oh and regarding "protector of a family"... are you saying it was the right thing to do for the father to attack the guy, just because he saw him arguing with his wife?

@Jerry Alexander He told her it's not OK to park in a handicapped spot. We don't see her or him gesturing, so I'm assuming it was only a verbal altercation, no one was getting hurt. People only started to get hurt when the father joined in by immediately shoving the guy so hard he fell to the ground.

@モチポンズ what are you talking about?? The situation was escalated when the guy pulled up and went to the lady's car and started a confrontation.. 😂😂😂🤦🏾♂

@Jerry Alexander He was trying to protect his family by coming out of the store and immediately escalating the situation by shoving the guy? I'm sorry, but that's not how to protect a family. It was a verbal argument, until the guy who got shot made it physical. He didn't deserve to die, but I can't be sad about an asshole like him dying either.

@Angel Santos
US seems like such a terrible place to live in.
I just saw another video - a black doctor was arrested in front of his house when he was loading a van by a cop not wearing a mask, also spitting in his face.
He had to yell for his whife to come outside and confirm that he lives there.
I would have sued that cop for everything he's got.
Not the police department.
How come it's called the "land of the free", when you can get your freedom away from you, in a finger snap, just because you're sitting in front of your house... 🤦🏻♂

bravo1IsixI I mean tbh I think he was just trying to protect the people he loved a lot of people are basically victim blaming they shouldn’t have parked in the spot but it’s still not their fault I genuinely believe he thought that Drejka was going to do something to his girlfriend and just wanted to push him away from her Drejka shouldn’t have acted like some amazing hero protecting the parking lots of Florida everyone has pushed someone before look back at a time you did and then tell me that if you died because of it that it was kind of your fault I mean come on it was a push and he acted like he was tackled by some football player

I am a handicapped person.  I have mobility trouble and I have handicapped placard.  And I would walk from the back on the biggest mall parking lot  rather than see someone lose their life over a fuck*ng parking spot.  I agree with you.  This is a tragedy

@shoo sheep the guy with the gun was the aggressor, he started with that woman in the car, she was minding her own business, HE INITIATED EVERYTHING, and I guarantee he was yelling and being aggressive because he knew he had a gun on him, he felt like he had power and authority because he was carrying.. But he has about 20yrs to think about it now, the best years of his life wasted because he didn't know how to mind his own business

@shoo sheep I think that you have attack and defend confused, he DEFENDED his wife and kids from an aggressive crazy man..

Jerry Alexander what are you talking about? i’m not defending the shooting lol but of course you bring race into this. i said that there are crazy idiots with guns  out there and this is what happens when you don’t make the best decision. what you said has nothing to do with what i said and on top of that you of course bring race in even though i’m not white

Jerry Alexander you’re going to attack someone because he’s yelling? and then risk getting shot or even worse your girl?? then how would you feel after she’s dead because you couldn’t control your temper? trust me i don’t think he should’ve shot, but cmon now

mathew cuthbert except he didn’t have his weapon out therefore not a shooter in the moment. meaning the father attacked him and hey i don’t agree with shooting him, but people are crazy so always be careful

@Kevin Sargeant I fully understand your point and the what ifs also do interest me. However, like you probably also now saw after the edit, some people don't see it as an option to think "what if" from the side of the shooter and just put blame on the murdered. It is not a solution to live life on eggshells because of the slight possibility someone loses their temper and unnecessarily shoots. So I fully understand the "What if this man hadnt pushed him but had yelled at him instead" but there's a lack of "What do we change so this wont happen again".

Take good care, stay healthy.

@SalQ I think that the folks you are conversing with already know who is right and who is wrong and have moved on.

They are engaged in the conversation of what the father of three could have done to get himself home safe to see his kids grow up. The father is not in the wrong and I don't think that anyone is saying that he asked for it by his behavior. He is dead though and sometimes there is better than being righteous.

At the end of the day we are all working through that a man that shouldn't be dead is, and a man that probably deserves to be dead isn't. Some of us just wish this hadn't happened so much that we work through the what ifs that would leave the innocent unharmed. Anyway that's how I read things. Take care.

Edit: Okay I read farther down and "anyone" might have been overly optimistic.

@Fetal Cop If the guy hadnt raised his voice and was actively looking for trouble, as you said, with a gun packed, it wouldnt have happened either, you know that, right? Funny how you consider only one side, namely the man who wants to get the crazy yelling person away from his family with a push is in the wrong, not the lunatic with a gun. And the more people like you defend such instances, the more gun violence will be justified and brushed off as "Oi, he pushed someone, good that he got shot." Sad views.

Sad. But let’s not pretend that the victim also played a role in his own demise. Yelling at someone isn’t a good excuse to get physical with anyone. Two people did stupid shit and one died. It’s like a trashy Greek tragedy.

He shoved him to the floor NOT bc of a parking spot. It starters over that and he was attacked and then he shot. just like if a person is pulled over for a broken tail light and shoot police I guess they died over a broken tail light.

Don't fkn push people who you don't know. Lots of people carrying these days.

No he’s not, he’s making a valid point. He’s not saying “they parked in a handicapped spot so they got what they deserved” or that “...it’s there fault”, he’s saying that there are crazy people like this guy who are looking for even the most minor things to create conflict from. He’s saying that through avoiding such minor things, in which your avoidance doesn’t really create any extra burden, you avoid the situation of someone getting mad at you for it.

Please take a second to think about someone’s stance/comment before getting mad and belittling someone on the internet ya bum.

@tierra is lame xx
You're excused.
Watch the video again.
Seems like you've missed the part where his wife's car is parked on a handicap spot.
The crazy dude wouldn't have had a reason to start a fight that ended up with a man losing his life, if she parked in front of the store where there were alot of empty spaces.
As i've said:
Everybody should avoid doing things that could bother the crazy ones. It could make the difference between ending up in a morgue, or at home playing with your kids or watching tv.

@Dan _ excuse me but they didn't park illegally. the shooter was the one parked illegally. not to mention why should people have to alter what they do because some people can't keep their gun i their pants

@Dan _ excuse me but they didn't park illegally. the shooter was the one parked illegally. not to mention why should people have to alter what they do because some people can't keep their gun i their pants

Moral of the story:
Don't do something that could bother crazy people, even like parking ilegaly.
These loonatics could kill you for something insignificant. They just need a small reason to pull a gun and shoot.
This moron was acting like that parking lot was his private propery and that guy was there trespassing with intent of stealing something.
Lawyers dressed him in a suit, (probably for the first time in his life) gave him glasses, and instructed him to take notes at the trial (i mean for real, bro lawyer ?) 😂 ..
Trying to make him look like a sweet member of high society that was brutally attacked by a bad black man.
When the loser was in shorts and slippers for his entire life, watching military training documentaries from his mama's couch.


This guy was waiting for this moment his whole life. He’s the self-proclaimed security guard of that store. Oh lord.


Apparently there were several previous incidents of him drawing his gun at people for really minor things (like if he thought they were driving too slowly etc) so this guy is a danger to society. It was only a matter of time before he killed someone.

@Southern Soul why delete your original comment if you didn’t think you said anything wrong?

@sinkingship5 man thats cool cause he like that but not all of us thugs just like how all white people arent hateful pieces of shit😌🗒🖌take note. Be blessed

@Bunni Bunni So how are you any better? Lol! You know there are many black people have been calling themselves "thugs" right? You mad at 2Pac?

@Fancy Pants lol u really think u r bether?? U wich someone dead thats sick

@Matti O No, not really. That is what you THINK. You can know the name of something and that is ALL you know about it.

Do you even remember what you were arguing? lol. The confrontation between the father and Mike is what is important, not the one between the wife and Mike. The father started the confrontation by shoving Mike down. HE started it and Mike responded by drawing his weapon. That should have been the end of the confrontation but we will never know that.

@Matti O You can keep correcting me on my word usage and still be wrong, as well. I thought the other guy was a relative. Also, he was moving away and it looks like he was focused on Mike (as he should be). All mike would have to say to the court is he was watching all "threats" and noticed that the man was watching him.

@AmanOU2be you mean the fact that you are misusing words? That is to show that your knowledge on the subject is lacking. It's less for you are more for others to see that your arguments have less weight because you don't really grasp what you are talking about. Sorry, I did drop a few comments together. Probably should have put them in 1 comment.

@Matti O Right. What does that have to do with what you are arguing?

@AmanOU2be also did you forget he other guy that was in front of he store that saw what happened? So no even then your claim that it's only the victims family. Btw the plaintiff is the state. You keep using words like Michael does without really knowing what you are talking about.

@AmanOU2be the victim backed up with 3 steps when he started drawing and had begun to turn. That is evident in the video.

@AmanOU2be the dude who pushed him immediately deescalated when he stepped back. Michael escalated it. The state agreed with man slaughter because he fired once and it happening be a shot that resulted in his death

@Matti OThe state agreed with you, when? With the conviction? If that is what you are saying, the state agreed with you (after not wanting to press charges in the first place) because he paused before firing and the victim was not advancing DURING that pause. The only reason he was convicted was the CC footage. The only witnesses seen in the footage are all party of the plaintiff's party. It would have been them vs him. Also, since the victim backed away and was shot in the front, that would have been even harder to convince a jury that the victim was not retreating. The trajectory of the projectile tells them that the two men were close.

@AmanOU2be I think you to be argumentative to be argumentative. The state has agreed with me.

@Matti O The laws vary from state to state. I live in Ohio. The law here may differ from yours. Also, don't forget which people constitute the parties and who actual escalates the situation. The father is the one who started THAT confrontation.

If you and other people continue to make poor decisions, people will continue to get shot.

@Matti O Thanks for clearing me up on assault vs battery. That just makes your argument worse, though.

No, he was NOT at minimum harassing his wife. Was it ever stated what either of them said?

Acting accordingly is not committing battery. He should have just gotten in between them.

With your own argument, MIKE took action on someone that was a potential threat.

Finally, don't be a hypocrite. Don't cry about me calling you an idiot when you insinuated I was high.

@AmanOU2be btw you ruined you own argument. You are probably right she did not send a text so all he saw was a guy having an altercation with his wife while his child was in the car. Most father's and husbands are going to take an aggressive approach to defending their family.

@AmanOU2be stand your ground does not protect you when you started the confrontation such as approaching someone's car and berating them or making demands. I live in a stand your ground state and you have no idea what you are talking about.

@king which is why everyone should carry one in my opinion. Though I agree yea egos and guns never mix. People need to remember, a firearm can take someone's life so you got to treat them as such.

@AmanOU2be the guy was harassing and depending on what he said assaulting his wife. His push was justified. Are you stoned?

@Hugh Mayle that's what I saw and the dude shot him after he stepped back.

@Oxey what did he say? He deleted his first comment to make himself seem more reasonable.

@Southern Soul the murderer is obviously in the wrong he started the argument and it wasn’t the first time he pulled his gun

@Southern Soul why did you delete the comment if it wasn’t racist

@Southern Soul maybe he wasn't the nicest person but i think pushing the guy yelling at your wife is something bad but not insane, now shooting a guy you don't know and the only think you know is he pushed you but backed up once he saw the weapon is intentional murder<br>You gotta be crazy if you think killing people is fine just because they were angry or agressive when you could end it just pulling the gun out

@Southern Soul jesus this guy has problems.

@Southern Soul jesus this guy has problems.

@Oxey I always associated "thug" with anybody violent or criminal. The douchebag murderer was clearly several feet from the car of the lady he was arguing with when and a man shoved him hard enough for him to fall several feet. Any rational and normal person would have come outside and either yelled at him to back away from his car or if they're extra normal they would have just talked and maybe even apologized for parking in a handicapped spot.

Further, after a bit of research the origin of thug has nothing to do with black people, and I can find no evidence supporting your theory that it has ever been racially charged. The only thing I found that can associate thug with black people is the idea that thugs are generally "gangsters" which a large proponent of black people consider themselves to be gangsters. On this note, it would be stereotyping to consider all black people gangsters and thus thugs, which I wont do. The fact that you want to reserve a word like thug for an entire race of people is in and of itself rather racist in my opinion, of which I will have no part of.

Perhaps you should take a moment to reflect and instead turn to a quote by MLK “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

@Southern Soul LMAFO... true. Still sad but true.

i saw all the thuggish behavior i can imagine. First he stops in the only one place he shouldnt, then his girl sees hes coming, he puts his pants in its place and she gets out the car just perfect timing for him to become unnoticed, then the first thing he does is to kick his ass to the floor... the killer is a killer, but the thug is a thug, and the lady is not exactly a lady

@July Bailey I didn't see any thuggish behavior either . I saw a man putting himself between his family and a belligerent a-hole.

@Southern Soul   So exactly why did you  " consciously "  choose the " violent thug " description then ?

@Southern Soul that makes absolutely no sense. The word 'thug' has obvious racial connotations, knowing these connotations do not make you racist alone. When you start using this word in the context you just did (saying you're happy that this person died) is when it becomes racist. Next you'll say that knowing the meaning of the n word makes you racist, that would be pretty silly obviously. It's okay that you don't know that though, we all have to learn!

@Southern Soul unfortunate that you weren’t one of this guys victims


He said he's been carrying for 26 years. I can't imagine how many times he would've gone on his little power trips by revealing his gun to threaten others over minor infractions

4 that are in the light, but only God knows how many went under the rug.

@Kirsten Bakker Thanks, i thought he said he was 38. Him being 48 makes it even more pathetic in my eyes. Quite a good example that being older doesn't necessarily mean one's wiser

@Mrbeanzzz idk if i agree with that but still going for kill option instead of threating to shoot or asking them why he got pushed could've worked better. He fucked his own life and other dude's

@Mrbeanzzz lol oh wow look out guys, another white boy from the suburbs hopped on the keyboard

Lol this guy went around trying to be a hero when no one asked for one. Unfortunately this game ended very badly.

Millions of american citizens carry everyday. Most people aren't roaming around flashing their gun...

(from 22 to 48 years old = 26 years of carrying a gun - not 16)

To quote the wiki artical of this mane. " He accuses Drejka of threatening to shoot him and using a racial slur. The store owner Salous intervened and ordered Drejka to stop or else he would call the police, to whom Drejka replied, "I can't help myself, I keep getting myself into trouble." After the incident Drejka calls the company the driver works for and complains to the owner John Tyler, reportedly saying the driver was "lucky I didn't blow his head off." The driver reports this incident to the police in July after the shooting of Markeis McGlockton at the same location. " This is a man who thinks he is just in being king shit, and that taking someone's life is proper justification for 'doing the wrong thing'

I believe it said He had been reported 4 times between 2012-18  for pulling out a gun as the accused aggressor. timestamp 36:49


I can just picture this guy is in prison trying to be best friends with the officers.

Patrolling the corridors with Jeremy dewitte, unit 1 on the move

Why are people even trying to argue with R.M.? He should have been ignored the second he tried to justify the shooting of an unarmed man walking away from an altercation he didn’t start. He should have been dismissed a second time when he proved to be an actual racist. He should have definitely been dismissed when he proved to be COVID-denier.

I mean come on guys, you aren’t going to convince somebody 3 layers (and probably more) deep in their delusions. How anybody liked any of their comments is beyond me, but there are a lot of awful people.

@R. M. “Hahaha” indeed. Now, in case by some miracle you outgrow your sophomoric talent for self entertainment I could be actually interested in what you have to say. It’s also called “growing up “. You know, when adults discuss things so that they may learn from each other. Which is quite different from talking to yourself so that you can claim “victory “. <br>Like I said, it’s part of growing up.

@R. M. You got it!  You(re) a genius!  I wish there were more people like you in this country. Hahahahah.... Ooops, what does "hahahahahah" mean?

@R. M.  " so this is what you're resulting to?"   You meant to say/write, RESORTING to? <br>Anyway, you're a good patriotic American. A tad white racist, but a patriot nonetheless.

@R. M.  " so this is what you're resulting to?"   You meant to say/write, RESORTING to?
Anyway, you're a good patriotic American. A tad white racist, but a patriot nonetheless.

@R. M. If you're gonna side with the unpopular opinion, you need to know how to posit your arguments better.   Usually the popular opinion is the right one.  But it's good practice arguing for the wrong side for those rare times when the popular argument is wrong, cause you'll know how to persuade people better.

In this case though, the shooter is clearly some dude who was waiting for an opportunity to shoot someone.  I think his hesitation in shooting suggests that he had to think about if it was justified, and it wasn't, but for someone wanting an excuse to use their gun, their mind is gonna justify any little thing.

@peps plenty of people in school. Not everyone is scared of the plandemic with a 99.98 percent survival rate. Higher for kids.

@peps That was a very uneducated comment. Many people are in school.

@peps 😐 ur like 12 please stop aren't you supposed to be in school

@peps funny considering I'm either around your age or younger then you but then again your probably 7 😐

@peps "mansplaining vibes" wtf does that even mean

@R. M. oooo did i offend u by calling u out for being racist? I'm sooooo sorry

@DaB so this is what you're resulting to? Random personal attacks? Well you're wrong on both accounts and now you're blocked, lol

@R. M. yeah uh huh i bet youre at least 100 lbs overweight and reek of cigarettes.

@DaB if the FBI statistic fits, then use it, lol

@R. M. Yeah right? I dont get why everyone is bashing the guy with the gun just because he defended himself. Yes he was looking for a sticker on the car which could lead to trouble but that is no excuse for the dead guy to charge at him. I am not saying the dead guy was at fault but neither was the guy with the gun. The dead guy should have talked it out, the other guy wouldnt have pulled out the gun and every body would have been safe

A lot of prisoners do this. It’s not a bad thing. It’s actually a really smart move.

Unless they have a good, solid PC unit, if he starts kiss up to COs he'd get stomped senseless to the point he'd never think about doing it again. If it continued he'd get wet up.

Young bucks now don't give a damn. The order don't need to be given. They  smoke people just to watch them bleed.

@Simea van Reenen just remember to keep your hands to yourself and you won't get shot, lol

@R. M. I think you're the one with the toxic ideas here bud... Good luck with that

@R. M. if you live in the kind of neighborhood you're painting right now, you wouldn't walk up to some random car and look for a sticker. He knew it might become confrontational. He literally said it in the video.

@Tyr he in jail because the state the judge jury and persecution felt he was guilty his life in life not manslaughter

@PlanBneverFails He got blind sided and shoved to the ground. He was assaulted

"negative" - this guy is basically a cop wanna-be

@R. M. nice trolling, kid. opponents have been neutralized

@D0P3PRIEST hey some people are violent. There's a reason you lock your doors and roll up windows in some neighborhoods.

@R. M. you’re trying way to hard to get a rouse out of ppl bud.

@PlanBneverFails lol yeah he attacked them by talking to them. Haha.

@KOLLUSION Transistor Funk - Topic please explain how you thought he wanted to be a cop? All I see is a man carrying a gun in a bad neighborhood because people will attack you for no reason like this.

Yeah, he obviously saw himself as some kind of busy body, wannabe cop.

Blatantly a snitch that thinks they’re all his friends when they would screw him over in a heartbeat


The fact that he felt he was entitled to walk around her car looking for placards as if he was the police is mind boggling. THEN had the audacity to approach her.  His only duty at that point was to call the police.

@75ur15 He did not care if she got a ticket or not. He is not the police so that is the audacity of him approaching her as if he is the police.  He wouldn't have approached her if he didn't have a gun. He wouldn't have approached her if she was white.  He saw a black woman and thought he could impose his will over her.  He felt, as most racist whites do, that he was teaching the black a lesson.

@comp uter based solely on the one instance that conclusion can't be drawn, so no way to know that as the father/husband.....with knowledge of his past i agree with you about him looking for his "chance". Lastly, the shove can't reasonably (imo) be defended as the man is approaching the shooter is more than an arms length from the vehicle, and in his sight she gets out (removing the door as a shield, and the drive away option) and closes the distance by HER choice. can't justify the shove.....that still doesn't make the shot ok. many bad decisions

@75ur15 It was actually the audacity as Drejka parked illegally and wanted to call someone out on their faults. McGlockton's gf was pregnant at the time, it wasn't okay to shove but at least it made sense that he was trying to protect her. We can quit the bs and not pretend as if Drejka wasn't looking for a fight and a justification to fire his gun at someone.

checking the vehicle and talking to her aren't morally or legally wrong.....it needn't be audacity. If he feels that telling her is better than trying to get her a ticket that is well within his rights. The shove wasn't legal or moral, the draw was perfectly legal, after the shove the man was walking toward him, during the draw, he stopped, started to back away and turn, therefore the SHOT was 100% illegal and not justified.


I was hassled in a parking lot before because I didn’t “look handicapped” even though the car I was in had a handicapped placard. I am not handicapped but my mother is and she and my father and aunt were inside the store where we were parked. This person was very aggressive and it’s scary to think how it could have escalated. Also it’s incredibly ignorant for a grown adult to accost someone over “not looking handicapped” when there are many conditions which are not immediately visibly apparent that are eligible for handicapped parking placards.

I don’t get why anyone tries to make it their business? Who cares if someone parks in a handicap spot, whether you think they’re handicapped or not , who are you to make that judgement, you don’t know them or their situation? I’ve carted around my mother in law without a placard because she’d accidentally leave it in her car, and she was legitimately handicapped. I’ve parked in the handicapped spot at the gas station when I was 9mos pregnant and my feet were so swollen I could feel the water sloshing when I shook my foot. Although I didn’t have a placard nor was I handicapped, I had parked at a gas station that literally had one car parked at the pump. It’s not up to you to play judge, jury and (literally) executioner.  I just don’t get why people can’t mind their own business.(By you I don’t mean OP in general, or anyone else on this thread, just adding to the conversation so please don’t think I’m being a jerk😌)

@guildpactminish if you have the sign, you have the sign. Don’t even answer them.

@Vacherie De Vacherie Yes, this person was angry and confrontational over the fact that I "didn't look handicapped."

Don’t you have the handicap sign you in your windshield?

@Ruby Tuesday outright outlawing all guns is foolish, and it won't curb gun violence completely, or violence in general. criminals will just get craftier if they can't access formerly-legal guns as easy. dangerous explosives are outlawed, yet we still see those being used to hurt people, right?<br>don't want to start political discourse in the comments, but i can promise you as a person in a right to carry state, gun violence isn't as common as you think it is. yes, gun violence is a very troubling issue in the u.s., but not enough to warrant taking away the weapons that give us the right to defend ourselves in case our government gets too corrupt.

@L 432hz he needs a life but your looking to write him letters to "troll" him? i think you might need life too bro

@jfrsnjhnsn  Agreed. That doesn't really have anything to do with what happened to me.

It's also ignorant to walk up and shove someone from behind instead of talking first.

As a disabled vet, I worry about this because I don't "look disabled" on my better days.

"Oh you're handicapped? NAME 3 HANDICAPS!"

Glad you’re safe & nothing crazy happened

Exactly. Dude needs life! I hope hes on write a prisoner so I can troll him 🤪


Yeah dude…he fired the gun as his pusher was backing up. The pusher saw the gun, realized he was about to get shot and started backing up, and 2 seconds later (one-hippopotamus-two-hippopotamus) he THEN fired. That’s NOT self defense. He shot him for revenge.

@Verena Valo to be fair I would have approached the situation by telling my wife to roll up her window and talk to the guy myself.

@John Glass It is not justified shoving somebody like that for merely screaming, at whomever that might be. He lost his life because of that, plain and simple. Don't write stupid things like that making people belive violence is allowed at the cost of verbal onslaught. Children at school would get shoved every each day, and that's just wrong. Not justified.

@John Glass hey man, that’s a little too much logic for a YouTube comment section. Gonna need you to tone it down, champ.

@squarecracker WTF, open ur eyes man. Thats not true. He just pushed him away and then he back up. He didnt do anything to let the other guy feeling he should put out his gun. Ur just crazy as this guy.

Wrong it was not revenge. It was murder. He waited whole life to some victim gives him "lawful reason". Unfortunately for him, there was a camera, victim reacted perfectly and BLM changed in america a lot. But because his intent was to kill someone in fact anyone, it is clearly 1st degree murder and because of circumstance (killing father in front of family) he should get injection.

@Hit Rapper and Artist Dababy I have no idea... No idea at all... 🤦

that’s right. multi cultural societies don’t work. white men are being challenged in our countries and this is the result(it’s gonna get way worse)

@Verena Valo <br>And depending on what you do, you might get shot

@Verena Valo
And depending on what you do, you might get shot

@John Glass
Not defending the murderers actions at all.

But pushing someone to the ground is assault and is not justified, even if someone is shouting at your loved ones.

@John Glass I agree with that. If he would have shot a second earlier I think he gets off. It looked to me like he was about to get kicked in the face before he pulled the gun.

@Gavin H showing the gun actually did work, that guy was backing down according to his body language. I'm sure his words were not so friendly, but words are not enough to justify shooting.

When people are free to posses arms there will be tragedies.
When people are not free to posses arms there will be genocides.

@John Glass Perfect, balanced summation there (without the crock of sh*t some others are spouting on here).<br>Problem with guns is that some use them out of all proportion to the situation; simply showing the pistol would have worked (most probably). Some people tend to go 'Route 1' when armed.

@John Glass Killing someone purely because you think it can be justified legally is actually worse than killing someone because you're angry and want revenge- it's calculating and cold-blooded. Also, walking away from someone is pretty much the most basic definition of disengaging from a fight- anyone who got in a fight as a kid will probably have been told 'next time, just walk away'. Given his history of threatening people with his gun in other instances, you might well be right about his motivation, though- he seems overly preoccupied with the idea of shooting someone, and may have been looking for any excuse.

I don't think it was "revenge". I think it was more that he believed the push gave him justification to fire unless the other guy turned and ran away. Backing up a few steps wasn't enough to show that the other guy was disengaging from the fight.

Pulling the gun was enough. If it had ended there I think all parties involved would have been justified in their actions.
Confronting a person parked in a handicap spot without placards, not necessary but justified.
Shoving the guy screaming at your wife and children not necessary but justified.
Pulling a gun on the guy that shoved you to the ground, not necessary but justified.
Shooting that man, not necessary and not justified.

It's appropriate you show your fire-arm FIRST before making the shot. It's to show the attacker they'll most likely lose everything within a few seconds.

Exactly what I saw, he pushed him and immediately ceased combat, even backing off, and this was initiated by the guy with the gun, he was out of lines the minute he took it into his own hands against a woman.<br>If he had such an issue, his options were call the cops or notify the store manager, anything outside of that became grounds for confrontation.

you put it perfectly. this was revenge. being pushed over, even if it was sudden, the victim was not actively attacking him when he took his gun out. literally if my partner & 2 of my kids are in the car and there is a freakin' guy screaming at them, i certainly go into protection mode.


If there’s one thing this channel has taught me it’s don’t name a child Michael

Not gonna lie, four Mikes in my family and all of the douchebags (alcoholics, child abuser, cheater, wife beater). Then there was the one co-worker named Mike who OD'd and died. And the other co-worker who was a nice enough guy, but almost had a stroke at work due to his severe diabetes...not his fault but damn. It's like a curse. lol

Despite understanding that Micheal is a very common name, I am a bit dubious when I meet a new person with the name. I have Mike PTSD. 😆

Well my name is Karen. I have never asked to speak to the manager and the Karen memes and the behaviour of those people makes me cringe. I don't relate. So yeh we don't choose our names we choose our behaviour.

@LxlShyne well luckily anyone from here who can't read katakana wouldn't be able to tell

The guy who got shot is also named Michael

The first guy in the video guilty until proven innocent from this channel was named Michael

The Name Michael means who is like God or Gift from God although the name doesn't fit or match everyone given the name it isnt the name that is the problem its the bad choices humans make in their lives

It’s so hit or miss lol like you either get Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps or Michael Myers lol Mike Tyson was pretty much both leaning towards Phelps and Jordan these days

Oof... In our defense, Michael is like the 2nd most common name in the world behind Mohammad I think lmao

google search "top boys names in the 80s" and guess what name was #1 at that time? So it's no surprise that there are a bunch of youngish and middle-aged men today are named Michael. This is simple statistics and nothing to do with the name itself.

What about Micheal Jordan, Micheal Phelps, Micheal Collins?

Have a father and a cousin Michael and can confirm

YES! (BTW, "Peterson" is the most dangerous surname!)

Well shiiieeet, my middle name is michael, guess mom wanted me to become a murderer.....

I think i finally found out why im a disappointment :)

that's my dad's name! thankfully the most cursed things he has ever done were limited to wearing shorts in below-freezing weather (he still does this), and accidentally ripping a door off its hinges once lol

I dated a Michael and can confirm that it’s bad ju-ju.

@Giovanni Aguirre I literally just noticed that and I’m upset because my name is Michael

Michael is a cursed name. My older brother, Michael, would hit me so often as a kid that I can't break my habits related to it in my adult life. For example, I can't leave my bedroom door open without feeling like a threat could be coming through the doorway. Not to complain about minor trauma, but Michael is indeed a very cursed name.

Freal. There are 3 micheals within a span of 5 videos. And in one of them, another criminal named michael is mentioned.


the second hand embarrassment from him fashioning a sling for his arm is unparalleled

@banjaxeguitars banjaxeguitars
1) he also illegally parked
2) being shoved to the ground once is not “being ground into the pavement”
3) ferociously? really?
4) the father, who was murdered in front of his own kid, was walking away
did you even watch the video ?

Dude saw Taxi Driver and said “he’s just like me fr”

@banjaxeguitars banjaxeguitars nah. 20 years in prison.

@Caleb Money hollis foo acting like he broke his arm. Meanwhile killed a good father. This guy probably a horrible father. Smells like beer and gunpowder I bet

Weird how it was working just fine when he was holding his gun.  Now he’s all “i can’t shake hands because i have an owie!”

Just like how he got up, put his gun in his car, then sat down on the ground again, because “big scary black man pushed me”

@John J he was playing the victim by putting his arm in a sling trying to garner sympathy and pretending to be hurt, it’s pathetic

@Mike The "always gotta play the victim" part.

White boy was milking it! Surprised he didn’t come in the interrogation room in a wheelchair. Always gotta play the victim

Someone saw No Country For Old Men and thought he'd be a badass.

this is the comment that i was looking for.


Damn I want to watch this but 8 different ads in 15 minutes


"Were you in the service?"
"Yes'sir"

@Daniel Martin it’s more than deadly, PAPERCUTS... oh god THE PAPERCUTS

December 21st, 1989<br>The letters are becoming too much.  My position is overrun and I'm buried up to my eyes in packages.  Letters to santa are flying over my head.  I think Jimmy got taken out by a paper cut.  I pray the communique demanding better overtime pay reaches HQ.  In the meanwhile, I write to you, dearest Wilma.  I know it will not get to you soon, because I have far too many letters to deliver before I can come home.  I don't know if I'll even see the next sunset....  As I have to sleep for work the next day.

Ironically the postal service "serves" the usa much more then its army. Especially domestically.

There's a reason the head of the postal service is called the Postmaster General.

@Gutter Bear lowkey i feel like taking away his guns and permit forever and giving him a milder sentence would absolutely wreck him as a person and push him to rethink his actions far more than 20 years

@Daniel Martin us postals surpass the marines at this point

"I'm pretty sore." What an absolute clown. As a supporter of the second amendment, people like this should never be allowed to own a gun. Him and Jeremy Dewitte would probably be best friends. Shooting an unarmed man cause he pushed you after getting into an argument with someone who was minding their own business. He's a big ol' boy too. Everything about this guy screams academy drop out. The lesson: don't park in a handicapped space without placards or this guy will shoot someone you're with.

Hey hey hey now. They deliver in rain and sleet and snow. Have some respect 😂

HAHAHA I never usually laugh out loud at comments, but this made me belly laugh

No fuckin way! Did he say that and I missed it?🤣🤣

"Social Security, I've been collecting for years after falling in a DMV"

@Liz C and there was the Edmond Oklahoma post office massacre in the 80s.

@Daniel Martin especially their special forces branch.

@Daniel Martin So after reading your comment I thought "oh yeah, that lady that murdered a ton of her former coworkers in Cali" but I couldn't remember her name, so I googled "postal worker shooting" and DAMN. I now know where the phrase going postal comes from...

They have been known to be pretty deadly.


we all saw him waving his right arm around, right? if your shoulder was that badly injured you would not be able to raise it above your head. Is his arm sore? yeah probably but just take some tylenol and he should be fine

It had no bearing, we know he got knocked down. Even if he went to the hospital for x-rays it wouldn't have changed a thing. Once the assailant/victim started backing up - it was over.

Ikr, you’d had to be pushed by the Rock to have such an injury.

@Scoots McGee yeah the average person wouldn't think of that, it was actually cool I learned something BUT that suggests survivalist training to me along with all his other jargon

He doesn't look that hurt to me... 29:39

well he was violently assaulted ,  is he supposed to pretend he was not hurt?

He seems like the kind of guy who tips 8 percent and says "get a better paying job"

Jerel Wayne do you make people wanna push you?   It’s not normal for that to happen to people over a dozen times.

@blazeaglory, I would have gotten in between him and my wife, but not touch him, until he touched me, first. That's the law, something you guys clearly don't understand. Doesn't matter how loud someone's yelling at your wife/child/friend, etc...You don't put your hands on people. Seriously, I stopped thinking like you guys, when I got to high school. He's not innocent; live with it.

@Buttercup58 Uhm yeah they do. Its called PROTECTING LIFE AND PROPERTY

@CanadianPYRO 604 WTF? What would you have done if some stranger was in your loved ones face? Ask them kindly to stop?

@Niceock man, you don't touch someone, unless they touch you or touch someone else (if not in self-defense). The whole point Andrew was making was that the guy who pushed him wasn't innocent. That's a fact. Whether he brought up he could've died from the push or not is irrelevant; the guy who pushed him wasn't innocent.

@Chaldean Guy He is though. All the dude did was push him because he was harassing his girl. Also, what's the point of even pointing it out unless you're suggesting something?

@Niceock man, how am I defending him? I've already stated, he shouldn't have shot him. What I'm arguing is, how the guy that pushed him isn't innocent, either! Those two idiots were pulling straw mans left and right.

@Andrew Jackson He literally pulled a gun on 4 different people and 2 of them being women. He was looking to pull it and knowing his past probably would've anyway. He was also lying.

@Chaldean Guy Sorry, you defending the dude who pulls guns on women for no reason?

@rachybaby72, omg, you really are that dense, eh? Andrew said the guy wasn't innocent, because he attacked first. Whether he died from the fall or not, is irrelevant, as it has nothing to do with the innocence of the man being killed. You're grasping at straws, here.

@Chaldean Guy Now who's employing a strawman here... He said more than that. The second-half of his comment was telling when he said the guy could've been killed. Not only is a death from a push like that unlikely since Drejka was shoved from his side, but that random part of the comment speaks to more that just an "observation"... He wasn't simply stating anything...

@Chaldean Guy  Wasn't really a strawman... Unless it was a joke/sarcasm, Andrew seemed to infer with his 'he could have hit his head and died' statement <i>(nevermind that he was hit from the side so hitting his head in the fall would've be highly unlikely)</i> that he was saying that either both attacks were equal or that the response with the gun was justified.

@Swamp hawk, this loser scraped his elbow pulling out that gun! His elbow was hurt and so was his pride/feelings!

In the first part of the interrogation, he uses the  scrapped up arm/elbow freely, and then intermittently, throughout the investigation/interrogation. WHAT?!!!

Buttercup58 ... Thats true.  Also nobody has the right to shoot people as they flee in fear.

@Jerel Wayne Florida has stand your ground law.

@RZVT well the man was not innocent he still pushed the dude. I know he's dead but that doesn't mean we have to pretend that he shouldn't have pushed that guy. The dude that shot him Is a piece of shit and should be in prison for a long time but that dude got slammed. That isn't "nothing."

White Alliance ... Dang it... I watched it.

For sure! Almost pulled a muscle rolling my eyes so hard "left hand please sir" 🙄 "when he hit me from behind" no, sir, just no

@RZVT he could have just really heavily emphasized his fear of darkness

Tbh that fall should've hurt a lot. Guns are quite tough

@Scoots McGee really? Didnt even notice it was his shirt

he had to pretend he was hurt in order to justify the innocents man murder

Dude made his shirt into a fucking sling 🤦🏻♂

Absolutely trying to concentrate as much as he can from it


“Paramedics arrived in 19mins” OMG 😱 I’m a paramedic and that’s just an ABSURD response time 😞

@ShamW0Wzer EMTs in my district have to travel 55minutes to get from one end to the other end of the area

Not for a homicide. Our medics stage until the scene is secure. It could be 19 minutes depending on the chaos.

Where I used to live there was a 45 minute response time, that is if there were any ambulances around at all. If there weren't you could expect an hour and a half. Don't even want to think about if something like this happened.

@Wize Wolf lmao living with that mindset, unbelievable

@Wize Wolf lmao living with that mindset, unbelievable

@Dan Lienheart My thinking is that Marquise should still be alive.

@Wize Wolf  not really what he was getting the YouTube part is irrelevant your thinking is what's a problem

I thought that’s disgusting….but, the neighborhood must be busy

I thought that’s disgusting….but, the neighborhood must be busy

I was rear ended by someone driving 110 and the paramedics took 45 minutes to get to me

Those response times are criminal, a politician somewhere has a lot to answer for

Lol in South Africa it can be 8 hours 😂😂

Lol in South Africa it can be 8 hours 😂😂

I live in Victoria Australia in a regional country town. Our nearest hospital is 45 mins away.  19 mins would be fast for an ambulance to get to us ...

My mom was an EMT for 25 years and that made me cringe

My mom was an EMT for 25 years and that made me cringe

My 3 year old nephew had passed out, gone limp and turned blue while out with his parents apartment hunting the other day. It took over 25 minutes for the paramedics to arrive :/

Response time and training are probably the biggest factors in someone living and dying. I’ve overdosed quite a few times. Friends of mine overdosed once and never came back. They say 3 minutes, but I’ve seen someone come back after 8. Couldn’t walk for a while though

@el colito really depends, in Germany there are towns in the Mecklenburgerische Seenplatte Area where 20 minutes is a minimum

In argentina if u get shot and call paramedics, they will arrive in 1-5 hours minimum, if u are not that lucky they probably dont arrive, but in EE UU 19 minutes is a lot...

That's exactly how my mother died too. Paramedics took 45 minutes, for some strange reason. She was kept alive by my aunt via CPR but you know what can happen when your heart fails for too long aaa..

19min. What a joke. The paramedics should be charged as well.

19min. What a joke. The paramedics should be charged as well.

@Beyond Backwater racism is a very real thing that black people have faced since the atlantic slave trade when white people invented race. very weird that you're blaming black people for recognizing that as an issue that affects us. you're actually the reason why this wont get solved, you wont take accountability for perpetuating racism.

That's part right but if you put in consideration the people who take to much time to stop or move over to the side or stop on the traffic lights to let the emergency vehicle pass

It might be a really small town far from dispatch. I live in a town like that and EMS is always 30 minutes or more away whenever we call for an ambulance.

@Still Sidda "even including the excessive racism towards white people" yeah, as a white person, this tipped me off to not take you seriously at all lol. Sorry you're unfamiliar with the ABUNDANCE of research that shows that minorities ARE treated worse within several american institutions than white people - including in Healthcare, the justice system, & in educational institutions. It seems you just want them to shut up about the injustice they face. Sorry people speaking up for themselves hurts your sensibilities so much

Must not work for a busy service lol .. it’s a shame how low staffed EMS is these days and people  calling for bs reasons ( calls that do not require an ambulance and are not life threatening) is what causes us to not have trucks available for serious calls like that.. been a medic for 8 years and it’s only getting worse.. not to mention PD has to arrive and clear the scene before EMS can even work the patient.. also depends how long it took to call 911 as well.. a lot of factors..

I work in the tenth busiest ems system in the us as a paramedic... That's normal for us.

Next unit available all day long.

@Nicholas Ramey if people are dying because they had a slow response time then they do lmfaooo

If it was a white guy, they would’ve arrived sooner.

All lives matter!

@Wize Wolf don’t argue with people who can’t see, or refuse to things from black peoples perspective. There’s really no point in it because what you’re saying has been proved time and time again but there’s always going to be those people who will argue you to the death because they would hate to accept it. It’s a loss, just focus your energy on keeping yourself safe from it.

Thats a long time for sure but with a bullet going through the lungs and heart, i doubt they could've done much anyways.

@Still Sidda How am I pretending to be a victim? I honestly believe cops, hospitals and the like treat minorities different.  You don't have to agree.  I don't care.

I was thinking the same thing. 19 minutes. Craziness.

I was thinking the same thing. 19 minutes. Craziness.

@Maria Gabrielle Not everything. But many things are still. Because this is America.

Probably response time plus police clearing scene time time on patient kinda stuff

If only you saw how slow paramedics in the dc area drive

@Wize Wolf if that was sarcasm I'm not sure you do either.

ikr?? EMS in my city are en route 2 mins after a call & there within 7 minutes of leaving the station. wtf happened there?

@Jack Churchill man I wonder what about the town made someone think one small station was enough? 🤔

@Beyond Backwater so because of a random person commenting on YouTube there will forever be division? Lmao. Come on dude you don't even understand sarcasm. Sad.

@Wize Wolf comments like this are why there will forever be division in society. Eternal victim mentality

They were probably in one of those areas where a single station services 4-5 of the local towns, response times always suck as a result. It's really a shame.

They heard black male shot and said let's take our merry time.

There are a lot of wanna be cop/wanna be tough guy, vigilantes, who don’t need to be carrying firearms. This guy is one of them.

@sean dent Defending his family from what, impotent whining?  Maybe if he'd learned to distinguish between an annoyance and a threat he'd still be alive and his children's last memories of him wouldn't involve being ventilated for trying to be a badass.

@Blackhand Spectre He got 20 years too so the jury didn't agree...he probably won't make it 20 years..hope the parking spot was worth it lol

@Blackhand Spectre shove =/ shot while walking away

@———————————— only the ones that haven’t seen this video. <br>It was a good clean kill

@———————————— only the ones that haven’t seen this video.
It was a good clean kill

@Blackhand Spectre 🤦🏾♂most men would push someone who’s shouting at their wife.

@Blackhand Spectre Looks to me like a man defending his family from a Karen that had too much time with too little to do. He had a right to pull the gun, but he is a coward for making the decision to elevate the situation. You two are cowards as well for condoning this, what he shouldve done is take their plates and have the man reported for assault , but because of his rash decision and bad temper, two families are affected and without male figures.

@Blackhand Spectre I wouldn’t disagree with that either


This is one of the reasons america shouldn't have guns


I think people that defend Drejka fail to realize that he could have handled this situation so much more reasonably by telling his victim to back off and then pressing charges for assault. Instead he murdered a man who backed off at the sight of his gun. There are solutions other than murder. The dude didn't even have a weapon for crying out loud.

@Jonathan Rampersad Same. I wish more honest citizens were armed. This whole situation was caused by two violent men overreacting instead of de-escalating the situation. Using this as if it was the normal way people would react is disingenuous.

I’m licensed to carry concealed weapons in my state, and I’m surprised this wasn’t a second degree murder charge. When you carry a gun you have a responsibility to keep everyone around you safe, and that starts by NOT being an egotistical ass that ordains himself the enforcer of ADA compliance. You choose to put that gun everyday, the people around don’t choose to have a loaded weapon concealed from them feet away, and we need to respect that. It’s a microchasm of determining how someone handles power that they’re given. Do you use it to elevate yourself, or to serve others who don’t have it? If somebody illegally parks in a handicap spot, politely let the STORE know and go on about your day. The best outcome you can get as someone carrying a lethal weapon is to de-escalate a violent situation to the point where nobody gets hurt. He escalated this, maneuvering himself into a verbal altercation that escalated and ending the  argument with a pistol like he lives on a pirate ship... tells me he was looking for trouble and found it. He bought himself 20 years of prison food.

The dead thug could have handled this situation better by not VIOLENTLY shoving somebody simply because he didn't like the harmless words that were being said.

@Jose Sosa LOL, that's a completely ridiculous assumption. If you want to know the reality - ask the guy himself.

@Jonathan Rampersad I live in a country with heavily restricted gun use. Yes I can't have an assault rifle. ..and in exchange for that? We've never had a mass shooting. Not one. And 'mistakes' like this don't ducking happen. Perfect trade off ino

Hands can be deadly weapons..

If you pull your gun and don't shoot, you will be charged with a slew of crimes.

Don't pull, unless you're prepared to discharge.

Also notate he could’ve minded his own business and went on about his business. He wasn’t an officer of the law and had no business approaching anyone but because they were black he felt it was his God given right to correct them.

Exactly, he shouldve taken her plate number and reported it to the police. Thats reasonable and adult like 👌

@ThisIsMeArnold He clearly had intentions to kill. You DO NOT pull your weapon out unless you intend to use it. Guns are not tools to intimidate people. They are to kill. I'm a responsible gun owner who has been in this situation with a gun on me. I DID NOT pull my weapon out. I did take a punch to the face but managed to get out of there. If they had wrestled me I would have used it. Because if they took it from me I was dead. But it never went that far. And I didn't feel it was life threatening. I'm not in jail right now because I chose to not use my gun when it wasn't called for. He is in jail for being a psychopath.

@J T I mean if some one was yelling at your wife would you not want to beat that dude up?

@Ocean Man Definitely agree with that. Coming out of the store, I'd definitely give a loud, "hey!" to get the guy's attention away from my wife and engaged with me while I'm still far enough away to assess the situation. However, I'd probably still have gotten shot because I'd also still be moving towards the guy just so we didn't have to yell from 20 feet away. Trouble is, I'm sure Michael trained a fair amount. Probably on his own or with like-minded people (ie not professional security/self-defense experts). In his mind, any altercation WOULD escalate to deadly force, so that's all he trained for. Once he felt he was threatened, he was on autopilot. There was no concept of de-escation or disengagement--it was on a course he had completely predetermined in his mind a hundred times already. Heck, I bet the victim could've turned around and ran and Michael would've shot him in the back saying, "he was going to get a weapon to bash my skull in--I had no other choice to save my life."

The redrumers in Chicago should take this advice

Well, the same goes for the desisted guy, He could give some warning first too,, what happened to good old talking and arguing? lol, they are both guilty, two bullies !!!!

He could have handled it better but so could the "victim", who initiated the violence. He brought hands to a gunfight.

@Busky laws won't prevent human tragedy my guy. Stricter gun laws means average citizens can't protect themselves. We can't always rely on the police and attacking that right isn't the answer.

It's not defending him. Fact is if you approach someone with violence you're likely to get violence back. Unfortunately on this occasion the person who had violence brought upon them was a coward with a gun. Lesson to be learned here is learn to have dialogue before pushing/shooting someone.

You could also like, not circle a car like it's a fucking gazelle n you're hungry, and mind your business about someone taking a parking spot for 5 minutes.

Yeah because our INJUSTICE system would totally help him track down the scumbag attacker to place the charges.  Fists ARE a weapon.  It's not murder, it was self defense.  The jury is WRONG.  This is a win for THUGGERY.  It is now acceptable to violently assault somebody, because the victim is no longer allowed to fight back.

ThisIsMeArnold if you can’t control yourself, you shouldn’t have a weapon

Thomas Gerl not to mention the man also took two steps back when the gun was pulled so it’s not like he was going to try to kick him (his words “I thought kicks were coming”) the man saw him yelling at his wife and kids and pushed him, there was no chance the man on the ground would be killed

@ThisIsMeArnold If you dont intend on killing someone, then maybe dont shoot them in the chest? He could have just held him at gunpoint and backed off, but he decided to pull the trigger. I am not throught the whole video yet so I cant say anything about the setencing, but as OP already said there was a solution other shooting that guy, maybe he is made out to be worse than he really is, but he is still the sole reason he is where he is now

@tomtomtom There's a difference between approaching a person, blasting them in the head, grabbing their wallet, running and being suddenly attacked, shooting a gun in retaliation. Also I think it's safe to assume there was no intention to kill. That is also very significant. The man got a 20 year sentence and this year he was already attacked and wounded in the prison. Some people get shorter sentences for intentional murder of their own kids. In my opinion it isn't fair to paint this man as some evil criminal who deserves to suffer. That's the typical public sentiment around this case.

@Jonathan Rampersad Whether legal or not, thats still lesser guns. In which country do you live?

@ThisIsMeArnold It literally takes less than a second to pull a trigger, whereas stabbing/beating someone up is an act that takes way longer, maybe even minutes. Dont tell me he would have beat him to death in his "lapse of judgement".  From what I`ve seen he just could have not shot. That easy. He maybe pushed him (which wasnt great) but he didnt proceed to attack him, so it definitly wasnt self defence and I understand what you mean when you talk about getting a adrenaline rush, but even if that was the case it doesnt make him not guilty, it doesnt make that round un-shot. It doesnt change anything in my opinion. And you could use the "People make mistakes" argument for any case.

@Busky yh then mainly criminals would have guns PERFECT. I live in a country where it's illegal to own guns... Guess what criminals still have guns and ordinary citizens can't protect themselves

@ZebraJess92 People do the same thing with knives, umbrellas, bare hands smashing a head against the pavement. I'm not trying to argue for or against guns, I'm only talking about this criminal case. Sometimes people just need to accept that unfortunate misunderstandings happpen.

@ThisIsMeArnold that sounds like the perfect argument against weapons

I think most people who defend him can also empathize over the fact that people make mistakes. When you are suddenly attacked and you get a surge of adrenaline, your vision, your sense of time, judgement, etc. - all can get clouded. The reality of this case is that it was an unfortunate misunderstanding with no intentionos to kill from either party.

Would you say the outcome would be different if there where stricter laws that maybe made it illegal to carry a concealed fire arm in public? Or maybe even make it harder to get a gun? Or would you say that maybe stricter gun laws all around could have made these incidents alot les frequent?


Thebdude backed up because he pulled out the gun but the queation is what the dude would have done had he not pulled out the gun

maybe was going to say "my bad" and lend him a hand?


The fact that the dude had previous incidents threatening people with guns is scary.

@May Sanchez That's a lot of words for someone unable to form a coherent sentence.

@May Sanchez Then it's not an issue of relieving the remaining 2% of their weapons, if they're provocative and trigger happy like mr Drejka.

@Ant Dav 98% of gun owners don’t act like this

@your Girrrl literally no one has the right to harm anyone with lethal force, allowing people to own lethal weapons such as a firearm is encouraging shootings, murders homicides (etc.) to happen

@your Girrrl and who decides who gets to keep a gun and who doesn't? We're in really ambiguous territory cause people's character comes into play here. Something that can't be measured with a gauge. That's why we have laws

@Ant Dav you haven’t need a permit in New Hampshire for decades and they certainly don’t have epic levels of violence there.

People have the right to be armed… but people like him do not.

And now in Texas you don’t even need a license to carry a gun anymore. Feels like the country is moving backwards
