For anyone defending this guy, take this into consideration. This dude illegally parks his car to scream at that lady for illegaly parking. Also, this guy was a public menace. This was the 5th recorded incident of him pulling a gun out on someone, 2 of the previous people were unarmed women. I think he's been dying for an excuse to shoot someone for a long time and he finaly put himself in a situation where he thought he'd get away with it.

Having 5 prior incident of pulling a gun and not firing shows he's always had good restraint until the day he though his life was in danger.

@IAmAutumn It does not justify killing him for revenge.  He had a reason to believe his life was in danger.

People saying that it's alright to attack someone over words, how many times have you beat up your family members then? Or workmates? Everyone acts like they are a tough guy, but try this in person, then let us know how it works out. Nothing good will come of it.

@L Vader "well, he was assaulted first" not justification for homicide. getting pushed down to the ground is different then being grounded and pounded.

@Cj Looklin I don't know what got said in that parking lot. Both men in my opinion used excessive force. The shooting victim should not have pushed the other man to the ground in the first place. But the other guy should not have shot him. I think it was unnecessary, I think he was acting on temper rather than fearing for his life. Watch the police interview and the prosecution and defense arguments in court aswell as this video. Who takes a hand gun with them to the store and purposely looks for a argument? Knowing full well that things will get heated and no one will back down. Also I think this guy has a history of doing this sort of thing. A car parking space? That didn't effect him in anyway. It's not like he saw some people beating a old person up or vandalizing something. He was looking for confrontation.

Cj Looklin I completely agree with you. This guy was looking for trouble. Anyone gives me shit or gets heavy with me, I'm going to blow them away. He is going out looking for that situation.

@Bobby I agree with you but lets be clear that being pushed to the ground 'can' be lethal. You only have to smash your head if you have poor mobility or balance, or other medical issues.   But quite clearly the guy with the gun was looking for an opportunity to kill someone.  He was probably bullied a lot as a child and was looking for some twisted revenge.  Look what happened to that Buffalo man who was 75 - pushed by Police.  I know he survived but it was very serious.

I wonder if all of the people in this comment thread saying he was acting like a thug would be saying that if this was an incident that happened between two white guys.  My guess is probably not.  He was backing away before he was shot, there's no justification for that.

@Conservative Copwatch We have different definitions of "cleary". In the video, after pushing Michael to the ground, Markies takes one step further and puts his hands on his hips. How is that "Clearly" a sign of further violence?

Onba I think if you see a creepy man yelling at your wife and kids you would push him away too. The creep started the confrontation, you cannot say that he is also the victim.

MSA if that was the story, but witnesses told a different story. Drejka was yelling at the woman with her children, the victim did not know what’s going on. He saw a man verbally assaulting his girlfriend with his children so he shoved him away. Maybe too hard but instead on pressing charges to the police he shot him.

UberAV first he was not at the designated parking spot and second witnesses went in the store to tell the owner that the guy was back harassing people. This was his fifth time initiating confrontation with people and twice he pulled his gun out on two unarmed women.

Andy Tyler use of firearms is to nullify immediate threats. If you fire at an unarmed person who is not a threat to you it’s murder, you understand that right? The proper course of action was to call the cops after he was pushed not to play judge, jury, and executioner.

Deana Cagle he wasn’t hovering over him, he took three steps back and began to turn around. That’s why he was shot in his side. Did you not see the video? You can only shoot someone if your life is in immediate threat, an unarmed man backing away from you is not a threat especially when you have the gun. Why am I explaining this? Is this a difficult concept?

This dude was waiting to use that firearm. He was chomping at the bit. He used tactical type words when talking to the cops, like it was just three public servants having a conversation. If he wasn't in the military, he wanted to be. If he was never a cop, he wanted to be. He wants to be an authority figure for all the wrong reasons.

@L Vader act like a thug or stand up for his women and children? He parked illegally to see if someone was parked illegally to pace around her car and yell at her about being parked illegally... wtf do you expect.  Just for him to walk down n scream at people and not get what he deserves.. a shove? He can scream at a women but the second he gets into a physical altercation he can't duke it out like a real man. Some people can't take a L. But at the end of the day someone died because someone didnt mind their business and children wont have a father to grow up with and a women with no man.

Jenny clark so you admit Marquis was backing up and unlikely to engage in a physical confrontation because he saw the gun but...because he might have beat McGlockton up if he didn’t have a gun it’s ok he got shot and died?

Deana Cagle but that’s not what happened. Did you watch the video? Honest question. After the weapon was pulled Marquis stands still for a second and then backs up two steps starting to turn away from McGlockton. He was not hovering over him, he was not charging towards him, he was retreating.

Gun ownership 101: Don't pull a gun unless you plan on using it, this man had priors of pulling that gun, that day he finally used it. He put himself in a situation where it was a possibility to be able to use it,  all he needed was an excuse. Most gun owners will never be in that situation, it's a safeguard, not a reason to start a confrontation.

You’re assuming to know what would have happened if..

 But the fact is, pulling a gun on unarmed ppl is a hobby of Mr.Drejka. We can’t assume that time and again everyone would walk away unharmed when a gun is pulled at every provocation. When someone is this careless and gun happy ... ppl will be hurt. This was not a one-off incident. This man had serious issues.

Just pointing out that if you flip your own script the same can be said for Drejka. He is not a cop. He should not have verbally attacked a stranger and most importantly, should have minded his own business, as you suggest. ....and none of this would have happened. Please don’t disagree and make Canadians looks stupid.

Actually Jenny, only a ‘thug’ repeatedly pulls guns on unarmed women and children. It was only a matter of time before Drejka’s gun killed someone the way he was constantly threatening ppl with it. I don’t have a dog in this fight, these are facts. If you refuse to acknowledge that Drejka had a history of manufacturing circumstances that justified his control of other ppl with a sidearm... you are CHOOSING willful ignorance.

I’m just gonna guess here.... but this happened in the USA correct?

👏👏👏👏 On point. The only thing I don’t agree with is that he shot him in a panic. It seemed to me he aimed, paused for a second or two and then shot. Had he shot as he was swinging the firearm I might agree. But it seemed like the gun was visible to everyone and that is why the victim turned to run. The shooter should have registered his retreat as he was seated and stationary, looking directly at the victim. It’s almost as if he was insulted by the retreat and thought, “ Oh no you don’t!” Your synopsis of the facts I feel are quite accurate. Thanks for the additional info also. It really does flesh out the details of what I feel was a racially motivated attack.

‘Malignant Narcissist’ is EXACTLY! Right!... exactly my thoughts.

Matthew Meyer ...I'll assume you are saying this about the gunman also. That anyone who escalates words to the physical should be removed from the gene pool? Don't forget he has pulled a gun on multiple unarmed ppl before this incident. Those are only the ones that we know about, which got reported to police. I'd say that's an insane variety of escalation every time you find yourself feeling uncomfortable about something. I doubt this happens more than once to most ppl, if at all. Clearly, this guy feels threatening excessive force is the answer in pretty much any situation.

Diego since when is pushing someone to the ground after a discussion “protecting your family”.

@Matt Phillips and if the ignorant woman hadn't parked in a handicapped spot it all could have been avoided, or had she moved when it was pointed out, or if the dead guy hadn't shoved him... i mean there were a lot of points where something and should have been done differently.

Meh, he was assaulted and defended himself. We should all do the same and maybe people will stop assaulting others... my $0.02

He was pushed by a man that was not running towards him, not tackled by a man charging at him, if a man was screaming at me with my kids in the car I would hope my husband would remove the threat away from me. I think that race may have been hiding beneath the surface. The guy was carrying a gun to pop to the shop ffs who needs a gun to pick up some loo roll and munchies? The colour quality seems not as important as content! The other question is why doesnt Michael take a defensive shot rather than a kill shot?

@Peter Richard-Johnson I agree totally, if some man was screaming at me when I had my kids in the car I would expect my husband to remove the threat. Why did he have a gun if he was just popping into the shop, this guy was also parked illegally and i  believe he was itching to shoot someone. He apparently has threatened and pulled a gun before this murder. Some people need a psych evaluation before getting a weapon. Plus wtf is this negative instead of just no, does he think it makes him sound clever? What the hell does the quality of the colour in the CCTV? Why is colour necessary to hav colour

@Paul Your last comment is evidence enough, the (not so) subtle racism is oozing out of it.

Genuinely dude, the amount of people calling you racist in this one corner of the internet should be even more evidence for you. You're just delusional. Or a troll. Either way, I'm looking forward to your next novel.

Just tossing in my 2 cents. The push was an assault but the shooting was not self defense either as the boyfriend backed away afterward, clearly disengaging. Yelling is not assault, as some are trying to say, so in no way was the push, especially of that level, warranted and that was a very hard push. Pushes that causes falls have been know to kill people unintentionally, or even cause brain damage, if the person happens to hit his head on the ground or other object.

What the boyfriend did was VERY bad and unjustified. He would have been arrested hands down if he'd lived and no amount horrible behavior on the other man's part will change that. DO NOT THINK ITS OK! DO NOT RAISE YOUR KIDS THINKING ITS OK! YOU WILL HAVE A VERY SAD LIFE FAR FROM YOUR FAMILY WHEN THEY NEED YOU!

@Javiani Andino I'm gonna say it. I feel the only reason he got described as a "thug" is because he's black. Even if it was a white man and people still didn't like that he shoved someone, I don't think "thug" would've been used to describe him.

@L Vader I don't blame the victim at all. If we put ourselves in his position, he comes out of the store and some nut is yelling at his loved one. I think most people would've put hands on him just out of instinct to protect. Would a nice calm conversation have been nice? Sure. But this guy seems totally nuts and he's lucky he didn't get more than a shove. If some weirdo was circling my car, I'd feel incredibly threatened.

Yeah he straight up said he wouldn’t change anything about how he handled the situation so, in short, he ain’t shit.

@Peter Richard-Johnson Ok, apologies I shouldn't have assumed that. But my personal view is

1. that if there are other parking options available, then don't take up the DISABLED SPOT.

but if you accidentally  do and

2. If someone checks whether you have a disabled permit, don't get violent and push.

That's my view. You seem to be too interested in saying... well technically no law of the land was broken. That's why I assumed the above.

Thanks for the conversation. Bye.

@Peter Richard-Johnson clearly you are not interested in defending disabled people right to have a parking spot, and ok if people use it even when there are other options. This is a common problem, and I guess you want the disabled to fight their own corner. But many of them cannot do so, and they do not have to beg for something as simple as that.

legally you may be right. So law over the disabled ... right? sad

I guess you think those of us willing to stand up for the disabled ... its okay to push them to the floor? I don't think so.

Either show the permit.... or say sorry and move out. Don't get violent.

But even a violent guy did not deserved to be killed. And this man was clearly retreating, so the verdict was a good one.

@Peter Richard-Johnson Instead of shoving him he should shown him the disabled parking permit. They were wrong to park on that spot and not display the permit. RIGHT???? And if they shouldn't have been parked there - then a simple sorry would have sufficed.

@L Vader Michael Drejka has 3 time before threatened to shoot some over for driving or parking disputes.

When the gun was drawn, the victim BACKED UP. WE SEE THIS. that immediately negates any justifiable manslaughter defense. Forget that the victim pushed the suspect. Forget that. The moment the suspect pulled his gun, the victim disengaged. End of altercation. Victim backed up. He got killed NOT because he pushed the suspect. He got killed because the suspect was committed for whatever reason to shoot the man who pushed him. It’s unjustifiable. Plain and simple. The victim would still be alive if the suspect hadn’t fired his gun when the victim backed up. End of.

Who the hell is defending this guy?! The victim stepped back while the gun was pointed at him. That is extremely clear. There was no imminent threat to the suspect of bodily harm. Bullshit.

@Diego He wasn't protecting his family. His family was in no immediate danger. They were safely inside a motor vehicle. And even if a motor vehicle isn't completely safe, it's still safer than out on the street. She had no reason to exit the vehicle. If you feel unsafe, what logic tells you to get closer to the threat? She was planning to confront Drejka when she could have ignored him, rolled her windows up, and locked her doors. This is not an excuse for Drejka's actions. This is more of a declaration that every party involved with this incident did not act in a sensible or intelligent manner. They all fucked up. Learn how to interact with people before you leave the house.

He's disabled so how did "dude illegally park"? Was he not in a designated parking spot? Everyone keeps saying that he illegally parked but how so? What's illegal about it & how did he deserve to be knocked to the ground. It didn't look like he was screaming.

The only thing I see in the video that makes me see him as guilty is that the dude that knocked him down retreated on seeing the weapon come out.

@Paul Its the connotation of the word thug. It's been used to negatively portrait men of color for generations. Particularly associating black men as violent criminals. The gentleman was protecting his wife. Alot of people would argue protecting your wife would warrant far greater force than he used against his wife's aggressor. You cant start a confrontation get pushed then claim you were the victim.

The gentleman was protecting his wife. Alot of people would argue protecting your wife would warrant far greater force than he used against his wife's aggressor. You cant start a confrontation get pushed then claim you were the victim.

@L Vader The guy was protecting his family. I can almost guarantee if the guy was white you wouldn't have used the word "thug" to describe the guy who pushed Drejka. Just the word thug insinuates violence. Noone should be killed for pushing a sensitive and insecure man. Gtfo here. 🤦♂

His first mistake was talking to the police without a lawyer present he's pretty much talking himself into jail. And number two there's no law that says you have to let somebody beat you up or cause you bodily harm.. and number two if you don't want to get shot don't try to assault a random person at a gas station

@L Vader Totally agree. Both did wrong and its a tragedy, but dont assault people, especially not from behind and you wont get shot...easy as that. And tbh a guy that assaults you from behind, isnt the most honorable, so I wouldnt know what he does next...

L Vader stop perpetuating the mentality that black men are “thugs”. The victim saw a random stranger screaming and gesturing at his wife and reacted. Sure, pushing someone isn’t the mature thing to do- but it does NOT warrant being shot, let alone murdered in cold blood. How is Drejka not the thug for shooting at an unarmed man who pushed him once?

Did he really need to push him that hard? That’s a clean shoot!

If somebody starts shouting and screaming and getting in your face or somebody you care about you may push them back its a natural reaction. Also Michael Drejka could be seen as the aggressor depending on the language he was using. it can take surprisingly little force to knock somebody over instead of just pushing them away. This guy from previous incidences was out to kill someone it was premeditated murder he was purposely doing it.  1 or 2 times maybe but 5 times in a row. His mistake was there was a camera there to prove it.

He was found to be in the wrong but 30 years?  Harsh

Cj Looklin  you are probably right. He is a male Karen who should have minded his own business. But the other guy put himself in the situation by assaulting this guy, thus giving this male Karen an excuse.<br> I feel for the kids that had to witness their father’s killing.

L Vader  some random dude screams at your partner with your kids in the car u come out with no context I dont blame him for making space mabey words would have worked mabey not either way he didnt jump on him and start beating the shit out of him like a THUG (whatever that means to you ) the end of the day dude started the whole thing over petty bs and could've a got up left and called the cops if his pride /arm was hurt that bad

The point of this original comment above is that he has a history of pulling his gun on unarmed ppl. How many times can you pull a loaded gun on random strangers before someone gets hurt? The only sad thing is that he didn't pull his gun on someone who was also carrying and a better shot. This guy was a do nothing edgelord.

Peter Richard-Johnson not that he deserved to die, but he really should not of shoved Drejka, not that Drejka shouldn’t of minded his own damn business but the victim here did escalated it to violence by putting his hands and shoving him. Unfortunately he met another man who wanted violence, he had not predicted the other man however was armed and ready to kill. Most tragic for the kids who now have to grow up without a father, in my opinion.

@Bobby Let the games begin. lol.  Maybe we can see my point illustrated in real time now.  I have been called a racist SO many times for expressing the opinion that maybe fighting with armed people is a bad idea.  Good luck buddy.

Jenny clark sure, by drawing his firearm, forcing the other man to surrender and run, which he did. He however did not have the right to shoot the man, who shoved him, in the back. There’s no honor in that.

@Bobby I agree.  My assumptions with my comment are that a gun owner is being attacked without provocation, and displaying the gun doesn't end the attack.  Over and over, however, the fact that an unarmed person is shot is the main focus of high profile police shootings while disregarding every other fact.  "Stand your ground" laws always cause controversy.  When you said he was only pushed, it reminds me of so many other comments where the gun owner is criticized because he shot someone that was "just going to beat him up."  It's truly bizarre logic to me.  Even when we have footage of officers being punched, there's still a significant portion of the population that thinks it is wrong to shoot.

My Boring Adventures I want to start by saying I am not defending Drejkas actions here because he was wrong to of fired on the victim, however, let’s be rational here. Was it necessary for the victim to shove Drejka without engaging him first in conversation? No. Had things of likely not ended so tragically here had be not if shoved him immediately without first speaking to him, probably. I mean, Drejka wasn’t physically attacking the mans family, it was verbal. We use our words, diplomacy in America. Walking out of that store like some tough guy and shoving him to the ground was the wrong move, was it worth his life, no, it wasn’t. However, no, you’re wrong, he had no justification for engaging Drejka in violence, just as Drejka has no justification in using lethal force.

Andy Tyler think I was misunderstood here. I am a gun owner myself and absolutely stand for mine, yours and everyone’s right to protect themselves and their loved ones with them, however, if once you draw your firearm, and the attacker ceases to attack and surrenders, maybe firing at them isn’t the best idea. Let the courts sort out the assault/battery charges, no reason to take it to the point of ending the surrendering persons life just because you got beaten up, especially in this case for not minding your own damn business. His kids now get to grow up without a father. I don’t think people realize just how valuable the soul is, extinguishing a human life should never be an easy decision imo.

@Bobby I am in no way shape or form saying Drejka isn't guilty, but why should anyone be expected to take an ass kicking rather than shoot?  The victim in this case was definitely retreating after the gun was displayed.  The shooter definitely initiated the conflict from the start and has zero reason to claim self-defense.  It's just odd to me that gun owners are expected to take a beating rather than defend themselves with their gun.  I'm not entirely sure from your comment, but you seem to be suggesting that you shouldn't be allowed to shoot someone if they are using less than lethal force.  Why does anyone owe their attacker a defense only equal to the attack?  Guns exist so that we don't have to engage in hand to hand combat.

@AustenKY 77'Lt Well it does matter that he was retreating, but in that instant, in that moment of fear, the guy on the ground didn't have time to think about that and was just protecting himself.  Yes, it is a tragedy.  All involved acted like idiots, and a man with a family lost his life.

@Jenny clark The dude backed up once weapon was drawn. There was no reason to fire. There was at least a solid 3 seconds before he fires AFTER he backs up. There was no reason to fire and no immediate threat. This was murder.

Protect his family? There was nothing physical until he pushed him! I hate that what i think was possibly good man lost his life but im telling ya if im having a heated conversation and end up on my ass from someone out of sight i would also be very defensive! And the fact that he was retreating after that does not matter and if you think it does youve never been hit or treated unjustly!

@Jenny clark maybe, if you look the video again, he was placing his hands on his waist (Thats a very awkward position to kick someone in) it seems more likely that now that the immediate threat to his wif was over, he'd wait to hear what michael had to say, then michael shot him.

@Peter Richard-Johnson What makes you think his life or body was not in danger?  If I had just been knocked to the ground and someone was standing over me, I would think that more was probably coming, and I don't think he should have to wait until he was jumped and beaten.  That's what the gun is for, to prevent him from being beaten or killed.<br>No I am not saying that he was right to illegally park and yell at someone in the handicapped zone.  He should have parked legally.  But people who park in the handicap should be called out for it.  I don't know if you are correct that it is ok if the motor is running.  But really none of that is relevant.  The only thing that is relevant is that the guy reacted to a verbal confrontation with physical assault and the guy had a right to protect himself from any more.

I've had drunk man follow me out of a bar and punch me (for talking to his girl) he was much taller than me, did I have the right to kill him?

@Cj Looklin Your are right about all that, but no matter how stupid the guy was acting, it has no bearing on his guilt or innocence in this case.  Once a guy pushes you to the ground and is standing over you, you have a right to protect your life and body.

@Jenny clark She was still in her vehicle and the engine was running. Legally she couldn't be ticketed or fined. However, notice how Michael parked his car in the middle of the parking lot, which is VERY ILLEGAL, in order to accost this women over her questionable, not illegal, idiling location. If he was so concerned about the law why didn't he take the time to legaly park his vehicle before getting out?

@Peter Richard-Johnson Yes, he was justified in confronting the woman.  There were many empty legal spots for her to park but she decides to park in the handicapped space?

@Cj Looklin "Blaming the victim" is a loaded statement that doesn't aid discourse. It implies only one or the other can be wrong. Both were wrong in this case, Drejka far more wrong both for starting the confrontation and for shooting McGlockton without justification.

The simple fact that the guy was clearly <b>backing away</b> the instant the gun was pulled when he was shot, that wasn't out of self-defense, he just wanted to shoot him in spite. There's not way to justify it, he did not handle his firearm in a responsible and level-headed manner and killed someone because of it.

@Jenny clark Ask the police, did you even watch the video? One of those 4 other people even testified. Do you think they'd let him Take the stand if he bullshiting? I guess the police were just willing to give hime the benefit of the doubt. There are plenty of articles on this subject

@Psalm If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probabaly a duck. This man has pulled his gun on many unarmed black men and women in this community. Quite frankly it's astounding to assume he his anything other than a racist and the burden of proof lies on you to prove otherwise. If you do manage to find proof he wasn't a racist I will be compelled enough to engage with you in further discussion.

@beakt Yes, mcglockten overreacted and that was not smart. Emotion has a way of clowding ones judgement. I still don't understand your insistance on blaming the victim. Lastly, I'll direct you to my comment up above, incase you feel the need to engage further with me.

@Paul It's exhausting dealing with you people, these will be my last responses. Michael was a dangerous pyscopath that seemed to get off on provoking people into confrontations that he himself started, then pulling his gun on them, waiting for a chance to gun them down. He has done this at least 5 times, (I say at least because not everyone files a police report), and all of his victims were black, hence the reasonable assumption he was a racist. You can believe he was not, but honestly it would take a lot more effort to prove otherwise. It seems you are more concerned that the 5th recorded individual, that is Mcglockton, was succesfully provoked into a violent altercation, than you are with the fact that this lunatic has repeatedly done this within his community. I can't discern your reasons for thinking this way, but I assume it's some combination of smug sophistry, Trolling, or infact being a racist yourself. Only your conscious can know the truth. As to me being a loon. I suppose my lunacy derives for me being better able to empathize with a man overreacting to a percieved threat to his family (Remeber, that this has occured many times, even within the same year, and it is possible that Markies had seen Michael pull a gun out on an unarmed black women before), than a man who is willing to kill someone over a parking spot. But, I shall have you know if that's the case then I take pride in being a "loon". Good day.

@Cj Looklin Odd, I remember typing a reply today, but it's gone. Anyway, yes, it's a thug move to shove someone so hard to the ground in that situation. I mean, anyone would be pissed seeing some asshole standing there yelling at your wife with your babies in the car, but you can't go broadsiding him like that. McGlockton would have been charged with assault and battery at least, and if he had seriously injured Drejka, which could easily have happened, felonies. As it turns out, he learned a lesson that when you overreact so violently, you never know when you've just provoked a sociopath with a gun. He only had a few moments to ponder his lesson, though, before his life was over.

L Vader I agree with what you said, except calling him a thug. I don’t think he was a thug. If McGlockton was a thug then so was Drejka. Where is the line between being a thug and being protective of your family? I think McGlockton overreacted , he was standing in the store and heard Robert Costello come in and tell the Store owner, “ There’s an altercation out there, you’d better intervene.” That’s what Robert Costelli testified he said ....the lady who was in the store at the same time, Vicky Conrad, who also testified said that Costelli had said “ there’s a problem out there, you’d better go check...” in either event, Costelli entered the store and implied something dramatic was happening in the parking lot and required the Store owner’s assistance. Most likely this caused McGlockton concern knowing his partner and two young babies were out there. Conrad also testified that she could hear the yelling from inside the store. Whatever the level of yelling, when McGlockton went out of the store. Costelli felt the need to go after him and was ready to intervene if necessary. This tells me that whatever Costelli said greatly concerned Markeis and when he went out and saw Drejka yelling at his girlfriend, and as he walked over, his concern and need to get Drejka away from Brittany was the only thing on his mind. All he knew at that point was that a guy had come in to the store very concerned about an altercation in the parking lot, he goes out and sees it’s right at his car with his partner and babies, Drejka was most likely still yelling as he didn’t see Markeis coming his way. Markeis‘ instinct was to shove the guy away from Brittany, who by that time had gotten out of the car. Now, I don’t agree with Markeis just coming up behind Drejka and shoving him. It was a very hard shove, and since Drejka was blindsided he didn’t have any chance to stop the impact of hitting the ground. Markeis absolutely should have stopped and told Drejka to talk to him about the issue, not Brittany. Now that doesn’t diminish Drejka’s mistake either. Drejka should not have approached Brittany and the car. Plain and simple, he was in the wrong. Especially after it was discovered that the Store owner had specifically asked Drejka NOT to accost the customers who parked in that handicap spot without the proper placards. We also learned that Drejka had a ha it of approaching cars and drivers and reprimanding them for parking there. Drejka is not the handicap parking police, as much as he wants to think he is. Approaching a woman alone in her car with the specific purpose of telling her she doing something wrong is completely inappropriate. After Markeis shoved Drejka he does in fact take two steps towards Drejka but to me it seemed to be more out of the continuing momentum of his body going forward, part of the same action as the shove. Then, he stops. Drejka rolls up and already has the gun in his hand and shoots. When Drejka shot, Markeis was not moving forward at all. This is Drejka tragic mistake. Had Drejka sat up with the gun in hand and stopped, everything would have turned out differently. Instead, he shot without waiting for his brain to register that Markeis had stopped moving. Markeis was in the process of turning away from Drejka when the gun was shot. I don’t think Markeis was in the right to shove Drejka and had Drejka slowed his panic, taken just a few seconds to analyze what was happening he would have realized he didn’t need to shoot. There were multiple witnesses, he could have called for help, Costelli was right there, and he could have called 911 and since it was all on video which Drejka knew already, he would have had a pretty solid case for assault. However, it’s my opinion that Drejka knew he had been told by the Store owner not to approach cars illegally parked, he knew he had already been involved in at least 5 separate incidents doing the exact same thing he just did, he knew wasn’t supposed to be approaching people and reprimanding them and he said as much in the February incident with Rick Kelly. He told police at that time “ he couldn’t help himself” from doing this. He admitted that reprimanding people for parking in Handicap spots was his “ hobby”. Drejka is another example of a white man with a gun actually creating the entire situation that caused him to feel the. Need to “ Stand his ground”. Like Michael Dunn, who yelled at 4 black teens to turn down their music , their “ thug” music , as he called it. An argument ensued that completely manufactured by Dunn, and he then shoots at the car 8 times because he “ felt threatened”. Then drove away, went to his hotel, ordered a pizza and made a stiff rum and coke, all the while never calling 911. The McMichels, in the Ahmaud Arbery  case, they got guns, jumped into their trucks and tried to corral Arbery ( which is illegal detainment and kidnapping) and then when Arbery was shot by their shotgun it was because he was attacking them? George Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin in the dark rainy night, stalked him, and then when Trayvon tried to get Zimmerman to leave him alone, Zimmerman shot him and claimed self defense? So, my point is that in all of these cases and hundreds of others, the “ shooter” actually created the altercation and then claim self defense when the victim tried to “ stand their ground”. Drejka was a wannabe law enforcement officer who wasn’t one, he pulled a gun and killed a man ...had Drejka not been carrying a gun none of this would have happened, and I doubt he even would have gone up to Brittany in the first place. The gun gave him a false sense of courage.

Exactly.. He absolutely did NOT have to shoot that man. Yes he got pushed, but he did not have to use deadly force. The victim obviously pushed him and took 2 paces back (everyone can see that). The victim did not take even one step towards him.. Was definitely unlawful for him to shoot the man.

Yeah I agree he was probably looking for a reason. You could tell the way he hesitated before he shot him.

@L Vader and a crazy man parking illegally and screaming at a woman with children in the car is bringing thug energy before her boyfriend even arrived. The boyfriend pushed a thug who was harassing his family. How did you miss that fact?

If the guy was coming back at him when he shit it would be different but this guy was begging for an excuse to shoot someone "in self defense"

@L Vader you got it all wrong. If we all acted like we should have, we wouldn't be where we are. But he overreacted, simple

Let's look at this objectively, he was only PUSHED to the ground, he was not met with lethal force by the victim. While he probably felt embarrassed and emasculated, that was no reason to kill the man. Drejka could of likely had an assault case against him had he not killed him. He didn't pull a weapon out or anything. While yes, he shouldn't of pushed the man to the ground, Drejka should of just minded his own damn business.

@L Vader Ok, let me make sure I understand. By saying that Markeis "assaulted" first, you agree that some form of escalation is warrented or should be expected. Maybe not murder, but something, right? HOWEVER, Michael is the one who assaulted first, he was yelling at his wife in a "threating", "angry", and "authorative" maner. The husband hears, a comotion doesn't know the context, but sees an angry man yelling at his wife (In the south, I may add), so he uses his arms as a "force multiplier" to neutralize the threat to his family. Why shouldn't Michael  have expected escalation when HE is the one who started the confrontation? Following your logic, why doesn't Michael recieve all the blame for starting the incedent in the first place?

L Vader I agree he shouldn’t have pushed him, but it’s kind of harsh to call a guy a thug for trying to protect his family

He got shoved ONE TIME. That alone shouldn't be used as a defense.

**This guys step dad was in the military for 20 years.
**He was in ROTC all four years of high school.
**He sets his clock in military time and uses words like “copy that” or “roger that”.
**After 17 attempts he finally passed the ASVAB and joined the military.
**He made it a month into bootcamp before getting discharged for failure to adapt, blames it in a back injury and calls himself a veteran.

Those are the vibes I’m getting.

@matthew radabaugh  dude I recruited for the navy for 5 years. You take the test, and if you don’t get a certain score you cannot join. So, while it is still a “placement test” you aren’t joining if you don’t make that score. You know…like a pass or fail…

Lmao @ some of these responses. I was a recruiter for 4 years and yes you can technically fail the asvab. 35 and above is typically passing and anything above 50 is considered upper mental group.

Lmao I bet he is a volunteer firefighter.🤣🚒🚒🔥

Lmao I bet he is a volunteer firefighter.🤣🚒🚒🔥

military time is actually quite common... where i live we dont even use that AM PM bullshit

@dead yami imagine being offended at all lives matter but saying "black is king" or black lives matter is somehow okay this is laughable we live in a messed up world it seems where people will literally say a white man insulting, robbing ir killing a black man is evil and racist but a black man doing the same things to a white man is somehow not wrong

@Brandy Harding yeah, one person pushed a guy, another person murdered someone. Both are in the wrong. Lol how evil.

@paul p yes u can. He targeted her cuz hes racist. No other reason. <br>He has a history of targeting women of color with their children.

What is the average number of tries to pass the ASVAB?

@Paddy Mc Not facts. He's using it as a metaphor to describe him.

@L.Q's Black Life Matters unfortunately you cant steal or park in a handicap spot then cry racism if someone of a different race "accosts" you for doing something illegal.  as far as racists are concerned, black lives matter is a black supremacist organization who hypocritically believe the KKK is immoral for doing the exact same things they do, several nba players have used the term whiteboy, and beyonce released a movie called black is king (referring to black race) all in 2020.  that said racism is freedom of speech/freedom of beliefs. if you want to hate on a race, gender, religion, disability, etc you can as long as you dont attack them, rob them, etc.  unfortunately you can accost whoever you want for whatever reasno you want, especially if theyre doing something illegal

@paul p how would u approach a racist who os accosting ur family?

@Joseph Dale You really think you did something

@Joseph Dale You really think you did something

Can’t pass the ASVAB, it only determines placement in the army.

*Thug’s Dad left him before birth. His step dad was in prison for 20 years.
**He stole wallets and dropped out of high school.
**He has a fake bling watch and doesn’t know what military time is.
**After 17 attempts, he finally won $5 on a scrather ticket.
*^He made it a month in middle school before getting kicked out for stealing wallets.
**He was on “disability” for “anxiety” like his entire family.

These are the vibes that I am getting.

@Clown World Resident "and if the Drejka didn’t have a gun he would of been head stomped" Possibly not probably.

"not saying he had to shot but the aggressor didn’t back down from his assault until seeing the gun." It can certainly be argued that he shoved the guy and then did not press the attack further before he saw the gun. He was just holding his ground until he saw the gun, at which point he began to retreat. Yes, Drejka could have pulled the weapon and used the threat of it to escape. However, he still was the aggressor of the whole situation and /any/ use of a gun, at that point, is going to end up with a brandishing charge.

Drejka was a fool for getting into an argument. Any sane concealed carrier knows to /never/ instigate an altercation. Once you instigate, you lose much of your rights to self-defense claims.

@Shimrra and if the Drejka didn’t have a gun he would of been head stomped, not saying he had to shot but the aggressor didn’t back down from his assault until seeing the gun.

didn’t end up joining cuz it was always a last resort option, and i got a job that pays well and offers free college like a month after i spoke to the recruiter. Also found out it’s an 8 year contract not a 4 year and that shook me a bit to how serious the commitment was gunna be. I’m fine with signing 4/5 years of my life away to serve but almost a decade? nah that ain’t for me.

i passed an ASVAB practice test a recruiter sent me and i spent about 5 seconds on each problem. skipped over the engine parts and scored so high he wouldn’t stop calling me for almost a year. Shits RIDICULOUSLY easy.

@Shimrra I’m retired military and still HATE military time.

@hohoho hehehe Reserve Officers' Training Corps

@hohoho hehehe Reserve Officers' Training Corps

Don't knock 24 hour time. It is an immensely useful system for communicating time. The /entire/ federal government uses it. The computer science world lives by it, as well. Copy that and roger that are just fun to say.

Having said that, everything else you said I agree with the implicit accusation that he was in the midst of some law enforcement or military fantasy.

@Brandy Harding No one rejects that. You just can't put a corpse on trial. If Drejka hadn't shot him, then Drejka would have been free and McGlockton would have been on trial for assault. That doesn't absolve Drejka of killing a man who was obviously trying to retreat. Any firearm owner should be aware of this simple rule.

@Brandy Harding he could call the freakin cops if he's sooooo worried about illegal parking (while parking illegally himself), instead of taking it upon himself to be some kind of aggro vigilante. He was accosting the woman, and the victim was defending his wife.

I get the vibe that he called somebody out for parking in a spot they shouldn't have been and then a bully came over and blind sided him.<br>More than one person was in the wrong that day.

@BODHI God bless!  Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we can live again in Heaven where there is no pain or suffering!  God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead!  Confess and repent of your sins and God will freely forgive you!  Trust in God and live for Jesus as He died for you! 💕 (don’t swear or take God’s name in vain!)

military time is not a thing. time is time.

military time is not a thing. time is time.

Lol. I'm retired navy,  in Hawaii I was moving into my apartment after deployment just ending.  I remember nothing,  I was put in a coma by getting assaulted and my right arm is paralyzed and hand doesn't work. Getting assaulted, even though he instigated you never know what can happen.  He only shot once, and again I think taking aim without shooting of stopped it. If he still approached then go head.  But he discharged kind of early.

**eats fried chicken
**father in prison
**on welfare

those are the vibes I'm getting

Lmao im sitting here reading this like, it all makes so much sense.

His specialization is escalating minor victimless bylaw infractions into murder. Callsign Private Pindick

@BODHI lol this is self defense.  dont attack people if you dont wanna get shot the concept is simple.   drejka got manslaughter if the guy didnt push him drejka wouldve got murder and something crazy

+Valencia Williams
Sorry I'm a bit confused. Are those facts you've learned about his life, or are you speculating?
Because 'Those are the vibes I'm getting.' Could be read two ways as 'here are some facts, and he naturally gives off those vibes' or 'This guy gives off vibes like someone who has had this sort of theoretical chequered history.'

Imma push that guy and cry if he responds evenly unproportional as I did.

It's negligent of anyone carrying a firearm to be a vigilante or hell, just get into any negative interaction. It's having an ace up your sleeve, except when it's revealed the other party dies. It's a fucked up loophole I'm sure thousands have been murdered under in the name of 'self-defense'

THANK GOD FOR CAMERAS

Absolutely you can by the way he talks to cops. He sees himself as there equal. One of the good ole boys.

Comes home, tries to get a job as a police officer or security guard. Isn’t hired anywhere. Decides he’s just a retired veteran that protects his neighborhood
