If you are a concealed carrier you have a responsibility to be calmer and more responsible than the average person. It’s not your job to enforce parking laws. Just mind your business, be polite and respectful, and hope against hope you never have to draw that weapon.

@] Mantis-Mike [ The bully parked his car in the ONLY disabled parking spot, to stop for drinks and snacks.

The victim chose to confront and argue with the woman upon realising this, as I would. He was not in her personal space, nor did his body language indicate a threat at ANY TIME (go ahead, find the timestamps where you think you can see him be threatening).

The victim was arguing "over a parking spot", yes. He was attacked over arguing with the attacker's wife, however- not the parking space. If you fools think you're allowed to attack someone by surprise when they are having road rage on the street, you're in for a nasty shock in the real world...

The attacker chose to end his own life by putting himself in extreme life or death danger... by attacking someone by surprise- then taking 3 steps up to him on the ground, taking an extremely macho intimdating pose- and going to continue the assault. He ONLY started to move back once he saw the gun- he was about to keep going and bully the victim.

Looks like a great trip to the store for a bully to me. Thinks you can park in the sole disabled spot and not be picked up on it by the public verbally? Think you can attack someone instantly who is just speaking to your wife from inside her car, someone who has not even moved their body for 45 seconds, someone who was only attacked ONCE the WOMAN STEPPED UP TO HIM.

Really worth critically thinking about. Same for your statement that "and was looking to use his gun, for any reason".

Quite bizare to me, to be watching the same footage as you, of a 47 year old man being attacked by surprise in car park - and only taking out his pistol once recovering from the attack... on the ground... Are you trying to have a serious discussion here, saying that he "was looking to use his gun, for any reason"? How much more warranted and immediate does the use of a gun have to be, if not when you're violently attacked from behind all of a sudden??

@battery So you would've shot the guy in the face, and ended his life in front of his wife and kids just because he pushed you? And pushed isn't a "Violent attack". Anybody would've defended their woman the same way.

There was Plenty of open spots available. This guy picked a fight over something so petty and was looking to use his gun, for any reason, and now he's where he belongs. All over a parking spot.

@Spencer Lenahan if you are gonna make a statement like that, you need to be able to back it up with some evidence, not just GoOGle It

@Spencer Lenahan if you are gonna make a statement like that, you need to be able to back it up with some evidence, not just GoOGle It

@battery he shot too early. Plain and simple. There was significant separation between the two of them so he wasn’t attempting to “beat him to a pulp” and if the attacker had any weapon he would’ve pulled it out by then or even while approaching the shooter.

@] Mantis-Mike [ It's misleading to say he lost his life over a "parking spot". He lost his life because he attacked someone by surprise on the street. Very simply.

The wife was shouted at and argued with "over a parking spot". The victim was attacked by surprise "over a parking spot". The attacker was shot over "a surprise violent attack".

@MyTrashSchuulProjects It's insane to think a 47 old year old man would draw his concelead pistol after being attacked by surprise, still recovering on the ground?  Could you explain why you think that?

@Teddy Yup. I don't understand how anyone watches this footage and doesn't see a violent irresponsible thug. I see this as akin to break testing someone in a car, then getting totalled. Obivously the shot isn't ideal, but the attacker put his own life at risk by initiating violence on the street.

@Rainy "your soul is rotted, no need to defend the light". Good to know the kind of lucidity i'm talking with here. I sincerely hope you get past your delusions

@Rainy "your soul is rotted, no need to defend the light". Good to know the kind of lucidity i'm talking with here. I sincerely hope you get past your delusions

@macuser1232 Lots of cavemen in the comments. I would not have instantly attacked a man telling off my wife for parking in the disabled spot through her closed window, standing still. no witness reports of threatening. witness reports TWO raised voices- a standard parking altercation. He victim wasn't ready for violence, he wasn't looking for violence- it's clear from his body language. He was just attacked by surprise, and put into a panic position with life and death consequences.

@Rainy while I agree the shooting was completely unjustifiable (I don't think people should walk around or own firearms altogether and this is another tragic example for that opinion). Up until the point and including the assault the couple was completely to blame. If the shooter would've went to his car to call the police instead of pulling out his gun the woman would've gotten a ticket for parking at a handicapped spot and the guy would've been rightfully charged with assault.

@MyTrashSchuulProjects I never did, like I literally wrote: "... the shooting was absolutely unjustified". Nevertheless, up until the push, the couple was completely at fault up to that point and the guy was completely in his right to address the egocentric behaviour of the couple parking on the handicapped spot. In my opinion the guy should not have been walking around with a gun in the first place, as it is not allowed in most countries that I know of to walk in public with firearms. Unfortunately the US is an exception where this is allowed and you get this unnecessary escalation of things.

@Sean O The man came up to someone parked on a handicap spot and checked if they had a handicap placard, then he told whoever he saw inside the car to move the car somewhere else since they don’t have a handicap placard, that is very natural and good behavior, there’s nothing creepy about it, he even said he didn’t see the kids because the windows were tinted dark, and even if he saw them that doesn’t change the fact that his motive is good and there was nothing creepy about what he was asking... stop trying to make mothers invincible to being told off when they are found obviously doing something wrong and this situation has nothing to do with the kids or the fact that shes a woman.

@yuun paan You're making excuses for the shooter and babbling about a parking spot, just as he was.

@yuun paan That's not an acceptable reaction to shoot the guy just because he pushed you though. Somebody losing their life over a parking spot, and pretending his reaction was okay because he says he was handicapped is just ridiculous

@carly jeffrey he was parked illegally because he was a disabled person and she took a disabled parking spot. educate yourself before making stupid comments

@carly jeffrey he was parked illegally because he was a disabled person and she took a disabled parking spot. educate yourself before making stupid comments

It absolutely was his business with the parking spot though. She was parked in a disabled only parking spot and the guy with the gun was a disabled person. Saying "iTs nOt uR joB" when it literally affects him is just ignorant.

@Teddy don’t act like the shooting was in anyway the couples fault. It’s completely unexpected and Insane to think someone would pull out a gun in this situation. That’s like getting killed for petty theft

@ShinySylvie Ask yourself- Why has no other country even attempted to invade American soil? Do yourself a favor, look up what our enemies leaders said about doing that, and why it's never been attempted...

@ShinySylvie That's Not the Only reason. It never fails- those who call our constitution "Outdated" area the ones who don't have a fundamental understanding of it.

The right to defend yourself,  loved ones, your nation and property, as well as against tyranny is timeless and will never end. Ask the people of Venezuela how it worked out for them after they lost their right to bear arms.

@battery if he called the police after being pushed, he probably would have gotten in trouble too. There are EYE WITNESS accounts of him circling around the car and then (where the recording starts) started screaming at her. The victim could very well counted (of course depending on how they decide to recount the story) that as self defense/saving another person since he's clearly just one word from getting violent. He'd get in trouble for verbal harrassment, and the victim would get in trouble for parking in a handicap spot.

Ty. I need my hip replaced but had a heart attack which makes me wait another year. I don't like how people abuse handicrap spaces,. But live and let live. Not for me to judge why someone needs one. Not a reason to show off my temper.

@Joey Tompkins The only reason we really have a right to bear arms was the stand up against the government-not other people. Considering how much the military has advanced and has weapons the normal people aren't allowed to have, that amendment is really nothing more than a mockery to it's original purpose. It's outdated and the only reason people still want it cause they have this impression that a bullet is the only thing in this world that can save them despite other countries proving that sentiment wrong over and over again...

@Mikko you don’t understand the definition of hypocrite, and you call me an idiot? Lovely honestly.

@Rainy "he directly threatened her by walking around her car taking random photos and screaming at her". You don't understand what a "direct threat" is. Nor a threat. He threatened no one, his body language was unthreateneing (as we can both plainly see), and he verbally argued with her for parking in the disabled spot illegally. Normal altercation. No reason to believe it was necessary for him to be attacked.

"My guess though is that you only care when the victim is white, there I read the elephant in the room, the lingo gave you away." More ENTIRELY baseless claims. My lingo? Genuinely don't know what you could be refering to. ..."Thug"? Not everyone lives in the USA, my friend, english is a vast language. Thugs are thugs.

@battery if only those around you would see you as the monster you are. Just know that there are forces beyond your control that have observed your horrid essence and will respond accordingly. Sleep tight.

@Rainy
Oh? Are you aware what jury duty is? Do you know that in this case, a group of people like ourselves had to decide who was the victim in this situation? You wouldn't have been allowed to serve on jury duty, with this attitude that those who disagree with your verdict are "filth" that you already had "pegged" as such :) They screen people with obvious bias and lack of perspective right away!

You continue your melodrama all you want. In my opinion based on the evidence, in this incident the victim is the one who was initially attacked. I'm sure my character will be able to take the blows you give it based on this hahahah

@Rainy "If things had gotten violent between those two". Baseless hypothetical. You cannot park in disabled spots, then attack anyone who shouts at you for it on the street. Simple as.

"hyperfocus on the relatively miniscule details" Like that he was standing in a normal spot, never threatened her, was not close to her, never showed any sign of indicating he would be close to her? And that SHE MOVED TO HIM just before he was attacked? I'm really sorry you struggle with reading comprehnsion and critical thinking, but don't worry! maybe stick to things like arts and crafts instead of trying to critically think

@Rainy I'm very glad a thug is off the street, but unhappy that the victim is in prison.

@Rainy Try to watch the footage again but in reality this time- you'll see that much of what you said is simply untrue and misleading. He didn't "push him to get him away from her". She was in her car up until the second he was pushed. He stayed still, outside the shop, she started to stand up close to him- then he was attacked.

Reality can be hard- when the narrative doesn't fit what you're seeing. so you get angry and childish :) Try to watch the footage again and really pinpoint the moments for YOU that justify using immediate violence against the man, okay?

@Rainy I'm being rude because i disagree with you? We have come to different conclusion based on the evidence, is all. No need to embarrass yourself so much mate, calm down.

@Rainy I'm being rude because i disagree with you? We have come to different conclusion based on the evidence, is all. No need to embarrass yourself so much mate, calm down.

@NateSanti You clearly haven't watched the footage carefully at all. 1:54 He does not "circle her car", but is at the front of the store, nearby where the attacker's car. I have done the same thing when seeing someone illegally park in a disabled spot. He is literally just standing infront of the store, pacing briefly and slightly, until he stands in one position- again just infront of the store, not up in the car, right till he is pushed.

Do me a favour and watch his body language, the way he moves his arms and body, if he is moving closer to the attacker's wife, etc. You will see someone having a perfectly normal heated disagreement about parking outside a store. People have mentioned her safety, but she was inside the car with the door closed for the entire sequence... The victim was only attacked once SHE stepped up into HIS personal space. I'm not making this up, try and watch the footage again carefully. He was not being threatening, and didn't even notice the attacker, because he was just focused on scolding this woman for taking up a disabled spot to buy snacks.

Taking pictures of someone doing a particularly nasty thing in public like that is NOT illegal, yes, EVEN if you have children!  And you're allowed to criticise other american's in public, you know. People in the store heard "raised VOICES", not a "raised voice".

And again, The victim was only attacked once SHE stepped up into HIS personal space...

@NateSanti ...What? Have you seen the footage?

@NateSanti ...What? Have you seen the footage?

@Rainy If you attack someone on the street by surprise, you lose your right to immediate safety. It's that simple. He chose to attack and put the victim in a state of life&death shock, and he paid for it with his life.

PSA to bullies and thugs like the attacker in this video:

If you are in the habit of attacking people by surprise on the street, make sure you're also in the habit of raising your hands as soon as a GUN GETS POINTED AT YOU IN SELF-DEFENCE...

@Ashencloud its a common stat* that people use... no idea where it came from but you hear it a lot in the acab community... I couldn't find a source either could a fried when we looked.<br>So not pulled out of his ass... but someone's.

@Ashencloud its a common stat* that people use... no idea where it came from but you hear it a lot in the acab community... I couldn't find a source either could a fried when we looked.

@Rainy "Secondly, he literally was walking around her car taking photos" No, untrue. Like i said, when he notices the illegally parked car, he stops and stands in the same place. He does not "walk around her car". Look at his body language before he was attacked and see if he looks threatening to you.

"He heard the man screaming at his wife and pushed him away from her". PSA for you very young people learning life. You're not allowed to attack someone on the street if they start flaming you or your wife. You're allowed to insult someone, you're allowed to be very pissed off and furious with someone. You're not allowed to attack people. He misread the situation,  and instantly attacked instead of thinking.

Had the victim not shot the attacker, he should have called the police and hopefully gotten the thug arrested and convincted for assault&battery. The footage shows what can happen if you mistake life for a cartoon and start attacking anyone who "screams at your wife".

Again, HE WAS STATIONARY THE ENTIRE TIME, THE ATTACKER CAME UP TO HIM, INSTIGATED THE VIOLENCE. Are we watching the same footage?

battery, just in case you are NOT trolling, the murderer circling the women’s car and taking pics with kids in it, was enough for her to shot HIM in fear of her life. So no the murderer did not have a right to make people feel unsafe and threaten and then shot someone, only to claim that HE felt threatened, that’s not how self defense works.

@battery first of all, the murderer is not the fucking victim. Secondly, he literally was walking around her car taking photos, and yelling at her (they literally say they could hear them screaming in the store) despite being a random civilian with NO AUTHORITY or right to accost them.

He heard the man screaming at his wife and pushed him away from her before immediately backing up, this occurs before the gun was even drawn.

The shooting after that was not at all justified, doesnt matter what the actual victim was doing beforehand because he was not threatening the life of the murderer, this is so clear that he got sentenced for it. Maybe next time, some random psycho with a gun shouldn’t be playing traffic cop for fun.

@Rainy Watch the footage again. The victim stands in the same spot the entire time he is arguing with the woman. He does not move, he barely moves his body - and does NOT look threatening in any way.

The attacker saw him arguing with his wife and instantly lost his cool - escalating the situation from verbal disagreement to violence. Am I wrong? Did we not see the same footage? And like I say, there are 0 indicators in either witness accounts or body language that he was threatening anyone verbally.

I'd hope people watch that footage and think about how dangerous escalating a simple disagreement about a disabled spot into violence can be. You put your own life at risk when you attack someone, particularly by surprise and with such violence.

Just leave the gun at home.

There are a couple of scenarios where having a concealed weapon make sense, but in everyday society it makes little sense. You’re just a potential liability. If you want to protect people that badly, join law enforcement.

@Whiskey Mutineer something I often wonder, if guns were to help for protection, order etc then why is the front rate so high and many homicides?

@samvale 1 person would already way too many. And yeah we have easy access to guns, but the VAST majority of gun owners would never fire it unless a life was legitimately in danger. We have easy access to guns because of America’s history, it’s an important thing for us.

@battery did you miss the part of the video where they state people within the store could hear the two of them arguing? He was clearly being aggressive, it wasn't a simple "please move out of the handicapped spot," it was a dumb ass playing traffic cop, taking photos of liscencse plates, and then screaming at the woman for her mistake. The dude pushed him to get his aggressive ass away from his wife, and then IMMEDIATELY backed off before the gun was even pointed.

@Xelio our society has already agreed vigilante "justice" shouldn't occur because of psychopathic idiots like Drejka. This video is the perfect reason on why people SHOULDN'T randomly confront strangers as if they're a legal authority.

He wasn't enforcing anything; if you watch again you'll see he barely even moved his body at all while he argued with the woman- he was stationary and objectively non-threatening in posture. The one that attacked him by surprise on the street, was the one enforcing things. A bully. Parks in the disabled spot to stop for snacks and drinks, then immediately surprise attacks someone that verbally confronts his party.

@___Meph___ I am fully with him standing up for handicapped people and parking laws that is just a part of being a decent human, but I do believe that he fired his gun prematurely, I get that it was in the heat of him being attacked by that other dude but he should’ve had better self control

This mindset is the rot of society in my opinion. It is not the sole job of only the law enforcement to address bad behaviour. Everyone in society has that obligation. That handicapped spot is there for a reason. To ensure there is a spot left for handicapped people when it's busy, besides usually being the closest spot to the entry and having more space so somebody with a severe disability can more easily been helped out of the car. If you park there because you're lazy it serves you right if somebody asks you to park somewhere else and if it was an honest mistake be responsible, take the criticism and just move your car. If people are not supposed to address bad behaviour anymore lazy and egocentric people will only abuse that to try to get away with even more, or we will have to put a police officer on every single corner to make sure people behave decently.<br>This whole incident to the point of shooting is completely to blame to both the woman and her husband. Obviously the shooting was absolutely unjustified and if he would've just pressed charges instead of shooting the couple would've ended up with assault and parking on a handicapped spot.

I haven't even gotten 2 minutes into the video yet....paramedics took 19 minutes to get there?! Stay safe, stay armed. When seconds count, help is minutes away.


He shot a man and the only accurate statement he made about the incident was that the man he shot was black. He legitimately could not accurately recollect anything except for the color of his victim's skin.

One other thing - the kind of gun he used of course


This guy pisses me off! When watching the interview I think he actually believes that he didn’t just straight up murder this man in cold blood!


There's a Wawa across the street from me. I've been there pretty much everyday, usually multiple times per day, for about 7-8 years now. I've never once considered it "my" store, and I certainly didn't approach anyone for a mere parking violation.


yeah nah, he had no reason to shoot him, its not like the guy was still on top of him, he literally walked away. Michael just wanted to kill him at that point


I feel like this guy and the cops definitely think they’re both on the same team so to speak. Like when all this guy sees on the internet are police officers killing and using their guns so easily, he thinks that this is all justified from seeing the police do it.


Lawyers be playing with they while soul. He could have giving that argument without saying the shooter was the victim. If there is a judgment day, someone is  gonna ask him  about that one


The tellers voice is really great. Normally
I want see my video without someone talking in between. But not with JCS.
The teller should really ask for job in tv or something. 👍


The guy had no reason to shoot the fire arm you can clearly see the man back up and put his hands up but he chose to shoot the man without being in amy danger of his life


How’s the maximum time only 30 years. There are many people in prison for much much longer time for much less offense 😳


When people say they sleep with their gun by their side this guy literally slept with his gun.  If he could marry it I’m sure he would.  He was looking for a fight because he knew his gun was there and sure enough he got to use it.  Good for you gun lover!  No need to use your fists because you’re a tough guy!


It doesn't matter how you feel about someone parking in a handicap spot when they're not handicap. The fine for doing so is a couple hundred bucks, it's not worth death.


Anyone wondering this dude got his ass beat by a black inmate who claimed to be the victims brother. He had no relation to the victim but ayeee Karma works in mysterious ways


I never get why, they do such a serious interview, with not a lawyer in sight, crazy


If I've learned anything from this channel, it's to never stop at gas stations in Florida.


If he felt the need to pull out that gun so bad, he could’ve simply jus threatened him with the gun and walked away did not have to shoot him

he wouldn't of got the satisfaction of payback, which I think caused him to ultimately pull that trigger


what a weak move. He got pushed to the ground and shoots a guy?


He was so calm about the fact he killed that man... his reaction after the detective let him know the man he shot was deceased... no guilt or anything

Spot on. A genuinely innocent person would of at least showed some emotions after finding out they just killed somebody. His reaction told us everything we already knew. He finally got to realise his twisted dream of establishing dominance


This the type of guy who dresses, talks and acts like he's Ex-Military without ever directly declaring it. But in everyway shape and form wants you to believe he was.

Wow way to disguise your hate for people in the military.

I never actually got that vibe from him at all LOL

Pro tip: ex-military folks don't talk like that lol

The kind of guy who works mall security but acts like a U.S. Marshal.

@prepvsions he never said he actually put it into practice. Just that he was trained to know when he was dealing with a credible threat

@Spelunking Monkey You can just say you were ex-military, no need to insert your humblebrag about killing.

Yupp that was my conclusion after only a couple of minutes.

@Themistertaco yes that’s it. That’s why I’m furious. lol wtf mate.

@Damn Son Whered U Find This definitely true. Most military folk I know are quite reasonable.

Do we actually know if he was in the military or not? I don't see any info on that in the video.

@Hunter Hudgens to be real, if the population of all of those states were 98% neo-nazi I still wouldn’t want to actually bomb them. There would still be millions of not nazis.

He says…. his store. These demonic sadistic cowardly thugs out there Are very territorial from lots of things in the past I’m sure and there’s a big problem in America I’ve noticed and I’ve been all over the world of these nut bags protecting what they think are there material things, places, and or  people. They can’t help but to get into other peoples business I can’t imagine how many people he has harassed before and got away with it and I hope to God he doesn’t get away with this murder. Those poor babies had to see all of this!!!!! Florida still has electric chair right?

This is common in southern small towns 😂 usually they're harmless, if annoying. They might even wear a veteran hat or something.

Thinks he's some kind of vigilante, the worst kind of dude


“There’s almost no way of me being racist. My upbringing prevents that from coming out of me.” Please, tell me how this man is capable of feeding himself…

It was strange the way he said that. As though he admits it is in him, but dosent let it out due to his upbringing. Maybe he is just terrible with words? Who really knows with crazy people like this.

No way to win. “I’m not racist” oh that’s what a racist would say. “I live in the south so racism is pervasive (note in the south both black AND white people are often racist) but I don’t act that way


The way he describes the incident, you'd think a linebacker tackled him. Clearly he watches too much Serie A.


The prosecutor delivered that beautifully.


I am 100% for people using force to defend themselves, however this arrogant guy fancied himself an armed guard of convience store and felt that he had some sort of authority because he carried a gun. I'm glad he was locked up, you can't go start confrontations if you're armed.


Usually, I’m upset when they talk to the detectives. This time?? I’m ecstatic!!! 🙄


His right arm looked fine in the beginning with out the cops in the room then he acted like he was dying in pain


He actually paused before he shot and the victim moved back!!!! DRAKYE WAS WRONG!!!!NEGATIVE !!!😭


This is why I carry pepper spray along with my concealed weapon. It’s great for when force is necessary but deadly force isn’t


Mike Drajka: Connivence Store Cop. This time it’s personal!


The way this guy talks about what he did sounds way too much like Dwight Shrute. If you are a photocopy of a sitcom character that’s a good sign you’re in the wrong…


I live in Europe and the fact you can carry a gun in the US just like that is beyond me. Then people like him use it and defend themselves that they were in a danger, even though the victim did not have any gun or a knife. Ridiculous

I used a handgun to defend me and my mom when I was 16 and my dad was on a fishing trip.  The second ammendment saves so many lives per year you wouldn't even believe it.  I have spent a lot of time in Europe for work.   You don't have the save quantity of drug addicted nuts willing to skin your face for a beer.  I now live in Mexico where there are very strict gun laws and there have been 6 shootings within 5 blocks of my house in 10 years.  Three weeks ago there was a hit that occurred right outside a church while my mother in law was in mass.  You don't even understand the issues in North America.


I would’ve asked some following questions after his “ I haven’t been hit like that since my 20s”…. ‘ were you verbally assaulting a young mother then too,? Or was that another handicap sticker check moment also,??”


for as many times as ive watched this, i realized that markese could have ran away faster, but he wanted to protect his family and not leave his wife in the line of fire.... awww

amd he ran to his child, I wonder if he was wanting to protect him with the little energy he had left... :(


It’s also a pet peeve of mine when someone who isn’t handicapped parks in handicap parking but this guess doesn’t have a handicap sticker either!!


After watching it again when he falls to ground after being pushed he is appear ing to be looking at him and dude is still kinda moving forwards and then he lifted up his shorts but he was mad for the being pushed it's a dang shame over being a parking police that young man will never see his kid and wife again and other dude is in prison. Stupid people mind your own business


I know his lawyers had a huge uphill battle trying to defend him but man, some of those arguments are just awful.


This narrator is always my favorite one cuz he really deconstructs what the persons state of mind is and the specific ways they’re attempting to convey themselves.

@Schule04 of course hindsight is 20/20 to civilians but for the police it becomes second nature even if they’re not consious of it at the moment

@Tyler Cheung I havent watched it before

@Schule04 you ever thought that you wouldn't get the recommended to you if maybe you stopped watching

@willow I'm with you on that. I have a short attention span too.

Also the reason it’s so easy to watch through his hour long videos, as someone with a short attention span, that’s a big deal

@DaddyDonGaming Because I get them recommended everywhere for some reason

@Schule04 then why you watching the videos ???

@Florence Jones yes it is. It always feels like someone is dumb trying to explain the most obvious Things. Idk Man..

@j0nnicage Basically everything he is saying about body language. Hindsight is 20/20

The narrator makes a lot of shit up. Hardly professional

@Kenny Hooker I agree with you. The narrator has a lot of experience and that’s why he’s so adept at putting in the right information for us at the right time. There’s very few other channels that can do this anywhere near as well as this one. Most of the others make way too many interruptions or don’t do it with as much intelligence of delivery.

@Kenny Hooker JCS is the real deal, all the other channels copy his style

@Florence Jones yeah, but if you notice with the different narrators, they aren’t as thorough as this one, in my opinion. This guy seems to give pause at the right times to set up the current state of what’s happening with the facts at the current moment of interrogation in terms of who knows what, at the current point in the timeline of events.

If you notice in the descriptions, different people are analyzing the each video

Isn't that the purpose watching this channel?


This guy reminds me of prisoners I hated who think they're prison guards when I was locked up


So he killed him over a handicapped parking spot that he didn’t need… wtf yt people


Such a STUPID reason to take someones life.


imagine victimizing yourself for a wrist injury after shooting someone

@Based Lord cheers mate! I wish you the best.

@Based Lord cheers mate! I wish you the best.

@Anthony Isabella You're the first commenter I've seen on this video that isn't a lunatic. Based.

@Anthony Isabella You addressed a lot there, so I'll go point by point.
- Too many people believe the government and mainstream media's propaganda.
I am no fan of the mainstream media, but not because I believe there is any sort of conspiracy between the government and media to stay in power.  I believe that an administration will put out information it thinks is favourable to it, and the media is a for-profit system, so it appeals to its base.  FOX presents the news in a particular biased way, as does CNN.  But even the more liberal news networks cut out some left-leaning people, such as Bernie Sanders.  Ultimately, the media is far more conservative in the US than it is really anywhere else globally.  People listen to who they want to hear.

- Too many people don't question anything because they're too stupid.
Yes and no.  Many people in the US are politically disinterested. They couldn't care less about the bulk of politics, but you wouldn't think that on internet comment threads such as this when you immerse yourself in a particular type of people - engaged people who are political.  Many of my friends are politically disinterested.  For those who are, many will ascribe themselves to a specific group of people with shared philosophies (their in-group), and in-group bias causes people to have a hard time engaging with ideology outside their circle.  This is propagated by the internet, where it is easy to find other like-minded individuals.

- Education + Common sense would lead the nation down a better path.
Education?  Yes.  Common sense?  What is common sense anyway?  Common sense is in the eye of the beholder.  What you might think is common sense, I may not, so I can't speak to your common sense.  But education in the United States is massively undercut and underfunded, so I agree with you there.  As for what you said about smaller governments, I think that smaller governments are only more effective than larger governments when corruption is rampant, and a state's democracy is weakened.  The system of voting in the US is convoluted and painful.  Corporations are allowed to give unlimited donations to fund charities, and the revolving door between Washington and Wallstreet practically spins off its own hinge.  Address those things, in addition to education, and I think you'll see a major improvement.

- There are just too many morons. (People can't parse the difference between their / they're / there.)
What about spelling?  Not sure why you're so hung up on that.  People's ability to pick the right word doesn't correlate with their well-meant intentions.  I do think there is a lack of education in the United States. Still, it is equally rivalled by widespread corruption and political divisiveness attributable, at least in part, to internet ideological echo chambers and for-profit corporate-run media.

- People assume we're equal, but we're not.
In ability?  You're right; we all differ.  In worth or intrinsic rights?  We all must be treated equally under the law, and we should strive to treat others equally.

- You (you reading this) think you're stupid but still smarter than most people you meet.
I find that very judgemental - which I'm sure you'd agree with but say is justified.  I just don't see the value of comparing people as opposed to ideas.  I know too little about you to cast any judgement about you personally, so I don't (or at least not vocally, anyhow; we all have internal monologues).

- If you don't realize the above, you're an idiot too.
Guess I am.

@Anthony Isabella You can call people stupid to your heart's content, but it is that precise failure to engage with someone's ideology that is a severe issue.  If your aim really is to mend the flaws in the social, political, and economic fabric of your nation (I'm assuming you're a US citizen), then empathy is a valuable tool in your arsenal.
The first step is in recognizing that the intent of most people is in doing genuine good, and if you see flaws in their methods, pointing them out to people is far more beneficial.

Also, don't you think it's a little too simple to say that the reason why your country is flawed is because of stupidity?  I imagine there is far more than one reason.

@Cwyan2483  Lmaoo you literally can’t be racist towards white people but okay

@thisdudegotreal This is the type of people that has 1 braincell and always finds a way to put race into situations like this.

@PON PON PATA PON see that's why I think this comment section is so funny, I never said ANYTHING like that XDDDD

@Anthony Isabella Defending someone whom you disagree with from childish attacks does not discredit your argument with the person you may be defending.

I wouldn't approve of someone attacking you baselessly all the same, though we're in disagreement.

if their was no handicapped plaque they deserved this im sorry but you can't be a scummy human and expect to get off without consequence..

@katrina -w- Never said that racism wasn’t a problem. What I’m TRYING to say is fighting racism with more racism doesn’t help anybody at all. Knowledge, empathy, and basically listening to each other to SOLVE the problem helps. Fighting each other for whatever reason there is will only have the fighting grown on a bigger scale. You can see this on any news in any country that’s in conflict rn!

@paulo amido why did he put his hands on him at all? There’s not a good enough answer period. That dude didn’t look like he’d be able to fight

@Zachary Morritt claiming you disagree with her and then coming to her defense more than once makes you seem unstable, I don’t need you to agree with me, and I don’t need to not call out stupidity when I see it, so I will continue doing so, thanks.

@Anthony Isabella I disagree with her but the name calling is a bit much.  Find a better argument.

@Dylan Partyka I disagree with her too, but try to pick a different argument than “you’re playing the victim.”  I’m sure that will change her mind and think of you better.

@katrina -w- I agree that racism has been codified into institutions and that black people (and other minorities at that) experience racism on an unrivalled level compared to white people.  It’s systemic racism, and white people do not experience it.  That said, racism as a concept is universally applicable - you can treat anyone, regardless of their skin colour, poorly because of it.  In striving for equality, first comes the social learning that we are all equal and interpersonal equality (not calling people slurs or names or propagating racist stereotypes) and then expunging those same mentalities from laws.  In that subtext, racist treatment can occur to anyone provided certain context.

@paulo amido so being shoved to the ground is a reasonable response to someone telling your girl that you parked in a handicapped spot for no reason. The whole situation would have been different if he hadn’t shoved him as a first response

@katrina -w- you love playing the victim don’t you? Has any of that happened to you?

@katrina -w- “did the police “STOPED” you?”

Lmao ima “stoped” you right there because your spelling and grammar confirm your intelligence is sub par

@Mr. RocknRollah it couldve been a simple altercation that everyone walked away alive from but no dude had to shoot someone over being shoved, absolutely pathetic, if youre nothing without your gun you dont deserve the gun

@Flavored Chip there’d probably be the same reaction if someone said sounds about black instead

@Flavored Chip i think its pretty funny, i call it the franz ferdinand effect, you say something controversial then leave the scene and let the miserable people of the internet fight and watch the chaos unfold

Feeling bad for Paulo cause <i>one</i> dude made a stupid play-on-words joke and ragers had to make it this whole big racial injustice white-suffering thing

Feeling bad for Paulo cause _one_ dude made a stupid play-on-words joke and ragers had to make it this whole big racial injustice white-suffering thing

@katrina -w- By that logic no white person can claim not to be racist as that claim has a direct implication that not all white people are racist and thus makes said white person part of the problem. Do you not see the circular nature of your logic here? Also you never did give any ideas on how to solve these problems that you seem so passionate about. If you would like some then just let me know.

@ddandymann sorry, did you get beat up on the street for being white? Did you not get the job for being white? Did the police stoped you just because you are white? Did your ancestors get considered less worth of being alive and wore slaved because of that? Did the ramifications of them being slaved continued for hundreds of years until the current day? <br>There is no racism against the oppressor, and white people have being the oppressor for hundreds and HUNDREDS of years and now people are holding y'all accountable and your first reaction is play the victim...

@katrina -w- Just because racism is an issue doesn't mean that the appropriate response to it is more racism but going in the opposite direction. If you're against racism be against all racism and not just the parts that you don't like.

@XxDAMARIESU123xX {DA ACTRUAL MARU SUIE} uhhh yeah that's how life is to certain things
"Oh I hate the color Blue" Good for you I don't care
"Oh I don't think racism is an issue" you are part of the problem :T

@katrina -w- Seriously? What’s with the whole “with us or against us” mentality (talking about in general, no specific sides) that makes it appealing?

@thisdudegotreal Thank you for this. I love times we actually get to use this line.

@Cwyan2483 Say all lives matter without saying all lives matter

@Cwyan2483 Say all lives matter without saying all lives matter

Doesn't look good walking in all fine and dandy when talking to the police about shooting a guy. Might have been one of his smarter moves.

@pryese7 yeah I don’t get it man. Racists confuse me on both sides. I don’t get how people assume that because one race suffers injustices, then that justifies that race to behave improperly towards all others. It doesn’t make sense to me.

@pryese7 Fighting fire with fire will only make the wildfire grow more out of control. Stooping to his level of judgement on people doesn’t really help anyone in the long run.

@Cwyan2483 imagine people who would villify people over their race🤔

"Ugh oh nooo shooting that father in front of his own kids was really hard on my wrist 😩"


They both were looking for a fight tbh, dude comes, pulling up his shorts getting ready, and immediately pushed and looked for a fight as much as the other idiot who shot. He backed up because of the gun. If drejka didn't have a gun the other idiot definitely would have wanted a fight, loads are like this


How did it possibly take 25 days to arrest him


Neutralize the threat!?! A parking violation?<br>Neutralize a threat it militaristic, dudes a public servant? Wtf

Neutralize the threat!?! A parking violation?

I’d be pissed if some guy charged me to the ground but if he doesn’t motion or have anything in his hands I’m not pulling that trigger.

This murderer took a fathers life over a freaking disabled parking spot. Why are there people walking the streets like that?! It's none of their business. He is the male version of Karen


He is the kid in school who’s way too obsessed with the military

He is the kid in school who’s way too obsessed with the military

@TheSleepySnorlax I feel like you're the type of person to see a soldier homecoming video or heard a soldier being thanked for their service and believe that Americans in general are obsessed over the military

@Dw3yN how is that being butthurt? Hahaha, everyone has a passion/obsession with something they really like, and the guy stated a true fact, you definitely sound like the weirdo here.

hes the kid who takes a chicken nugget from your tray without permission and get all angry when confronted about it

Not a problem bc people are obsessed with worse things

Not a problem bc people are obsessed with worse things

I have to say, my brother knows his guns and knows how to handle them. And would do nothing like this,  But this guy completely abused his gun rights and used excuses to make him seem like the victim. There are people like this guy vs people who really know how to behave in these situations. But I with your words. Take no offense to my statement

He's the ROTC kid whose takes it WAY too seriously.

@Jambutty Its no problem man other cultures can be confusing i get it

@Jambutty Its no problem man other cultures can be confusing i get it

@cara Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. As being English I’m fascinated by your culture. Quite a lot of it seems confusing or goes over my head. Been watching some US university marching bands recently. They are really good bands. The costumes and dancing is alien to me but I’m starting to enjoy them,Thanks agin if you ever need anything explaining from our culture I’ll do my best .

@Jambutty its an elective for highschool in the US that basically just promotes the army, they have to wear uniforms once a week and learn abt military leaders etc it stands for junior reserve officer training corps

@cara Can I ask What JROTC stands for please. New one for me thanks  🇬🇧

I was that kid until puberty, oh and hitting 16 and realising death and war isn’t the fantasy TV and movies portray.

@bigmac ndcheese should you be worried?

Google “school shootings”.

The USA is broken. Yes. You should be worried.

I'm actually grateful to those guys because they're the ones bananas enough to enlist while walking away  with their high school diploma in the parking lot.

As one of those kids I can assure you I don’t and never have acted that way

@Abelsm Canada’s better. Better beer. Better water..... better people in general clearly. Lol. This shit doesn’t happen. Nor do George Floyd incidents lmfao

@Dw3yN no butt hurt. He speaking truth full cap. You’re the one assuming lol

Then he should have got to birthing basic training or boot camp maybe he would have learned some trigger discipline but I’m sure he would have dropped out or recycled until he was discharged

@Brock Casey, so the military should have little warships and no tanks, tactics, or weapons?

Do you wish to be less able to defend yourself if there are people that want to kill you?

@Viper, lol amazing how you got so much hate from that one statement and some of it has nothing to do with what you said.

@TheSleepySnorlax, most of the world doesnt understand what its like to be the most powerful nation in the world.  A lot of the world knows nothing of patriotism and freedom and all they know is hate and jealousy of those that have it.  Not everyone wants to be under the iron boot of tyranny and communism.  🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Hey hey hey now you’re disrespecting a future US army soldier

Hey hey hey now you’re disrespecting a future US army soldier

Yes!! All camoed out!! Marching down the hall ways lol

Yes!! All camoed out!! Marching down the hall ways lol

@Abelsm it's not wrong to support the army as such as the military has a use. But to most of the world America seems war obsessed, America also shows a much higher level of patriotism that most of the world sees as odd. That and Americans say they give utmost respect to veterans, yet a significant number of vets end up homeless.

@Viper Technically there's nothing wrong with anything as long as you don't kill nobody, or harm nobody, or harm nobodies property.

@TheSleepySnorlax what's wrong with supporting the people who protect you?

@Caden Luke I know such a person, he is a cringe fest.

Yep, and of course he wasn’t able to make it in. Funny how people who get scared by people who look different can’t manage to join a diverse organization.

@Viper we need these type of people. You wanna get drafted? Of course obsessions aren't practical but a deep interest can be admirable

@Alli M. you might want to learn some grammar weren’t you supposed to pass high school

"You're disrespecting a future US Army soldier"

"You're disrespecting a future US Army soldier"

@Mean Pee exactly. People act like it’s an honor, but the military is never used for good, just oppression

I mean the military is sick with there massive warships and tanks and all round tactics and weapons

those were the laughing stock in the military.

those were the laughing stock in the military.

"NEGATIVE! I don't fight. Never have been a fighter." :D

@Viper *as long as you dont push it on to others every chance you get

Did everyone have that kid in their school? Had one who when we had roll call (particularly in new school years or with substitutes) he would yell out “SIR YES SIR” and salute. Very weird

@TheSleepySnorlax because we are bullies who want to control everything. I am ashamed of my country. I would give up firearms in a heartbeat. If they don't have guns your chances of defending yourself with a knife or pepper spray has to increase even if they have a melee weapon. Not much you can do about a gun unless your quick draw mcgraw.

@Wabbajock Dugatti ok I know that and I go shooting out in a field

@Wabbajock Dugatti ok I know that and I go shooting out in a field

@Viper most of the world however finds it odd that Americans are so often obsessed with the military

@Viper they are obsessed with it for the wrong reasons.  The pride and violence.

Free speech, yet consider broad comments like that may ruin someone's life unintentionally

Legit all I could think of every time he said negative and neutralize

Legit all I could think of every time he said negative and neutralize

And probably is frustrated because he failed to join because it’s too stupid to score good ; and lived whole life with some delusional pride and got a gun praying to have a chance to prove himself he is good

@Caden Luke  @Caden Luke  He's one of the "I almost joined the military" or "I could have joined, but..." types.

@Caden Luke I hate dudes like that. We <br>Marines don’t even talk like that. We use some of the jargon, but if u over do it, people will look at like you like you are a recruit. If u talk like a recruit, people will people will treat u like one.

@Arturo Ordaz
I agree with you but there is one thing I believe you are missing.....the original post he said "obsessed with" but you said "interested in"....
Big difference...

Nothing wrong with that as lomg as you dont kill nobody

Wavy lines?
What kind of absurd defense
 I wouldn’t believe a work this joke of a lawyer was spouting.
The true victim?
Disgusting “defense”


20 years carrying a weapon so you can shoot someone who is attacking you.
Cops are Varsity and he was coming off the bench from the Junior Varsity… but he finally had a chance to shoot at a REAL TARGET❗
He didn’t spend 20 years AIMING AT TARGETS  n🚫t to pull the trigger. 🤷🏼♂

20 years carrying a weapon *so you can shoot someone* who is _attacking_ you.

This man has no need to even go to court. It's all here lol


That guy definitely didn’t have to shoot, the man was backing away from him, he should be in jail


One thing I've taken from all these videos is never get interrogated without a lawyer.

503 Workshop im still waiting for you to reply to my racist comment lol

503 Workshop reply to the racist comment I said then lol I know you won’t because I never said anything racist lol

Steve Stampbach  As Little Stevie Avery once said to his sister Barb, in MaM Season 2:
Youuuuuu got dat right!!!

*Steve Stampbach*  As Little Stevie Avery once said to his sister Barb, in MaM Season 2:
*Youuuuuu got dat right!!!*

503 Workshop lol that’s what I thought you better delete that bullshit response

503 Workshop  Everything he said was facts. The gun won and the guy pushed him for no reason. Trying to call the guy a racist too lol and even said you’ll block him lol you’re pathetic

@503 Workshop Yeah, Drejka is the prime example of why regular Joes should not be carrying weapons.

@503 Workshop Watch the video again. Jim states that because of what he said he couldn't possibly say "I feared for my life and that's why I shot" anymore. A lawyer could've helped him there.

I think its easier said then done... the cops are really good at manipulating the situation

@503 Workshop You're full of shit. He was convicted because the interrogation was shown to the jury. The pigs took a three second event of a guy getting attacked by a powerful thug and expanded it to millisecond by millisecond Monday morning quarterbacking event.

Those pigs had him doubting his own judgement for crissakes.

It's cases like this that make me think there should be an IQ test to be qualified for jury duty.

@J B My mom taught me that years ago lol

Correct. Under US law you have the right to a lawyer. You don't "look suspicios" if you execute your rights.

And if your lawyer wants you to answer police questions, fire him.

NEVER, specially when you're guilty but even more so when you're innocent cause it's then when you have the most to lose.


19 minutes for a medical response time? Seems like an eternity


42:30 you know he is fucked when his legal team is trying to convince the jury non-hd video, and compression artifacts has any influence on this murder lol


If someone pushed me I’m definitely not just pulling out the strap and shooting. It was wrong point blank. So many things to be mad about and you want to go off over a parking spot at some random convenience store. Even if you are handicapped. That’s fine, you get mad judge how you wanna judge then move on.

“I’ve never been in that situation” Micheal said it himself. He was never in any kind of serious fight and his first instinct was to shoot this man. No words, just raw fear.


The scariest part is that this guy thinks he did nothing wrong.

Does he? How do you know that? <br>Mr mindreader

Does he? How do you know that?
Mr mindreader

Wanna know the worst part. This guy would have been a self described "responsible gun owner" before this incident. I wonder how many more "responsible gun owners" there are out there that are just like this guy. Living their lives every day hoping for the day they get to use their gun.


Michael seems like the type of dude to say “gracias” at an Italian restaurant

To be honest some of the restaurant waiters are just as bad. Trying to give it that authentic feel by saying “Grazie” when you place your order, but it’s the only word of Italian he knows.

@Jeanne Miller You can use that against him ... for EVER :D

OMG!  My husband actually did that in Rome!  When I told him he was in Italy not Spain I saw the waiter chuckle as he walk away. LMAO

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16❤

Shit, i do that. But just to be facetious.

That means that you think he is trying to help other people feel like they are at a restaurant in Italy, and not the United States. Even though "gracias" is a Spanish word, and not Italian, it's still the thought that counts.

Or as he would say: The Eye-Talian restaurant.

You're the type of dude who would ask criminals to kill you last and thank them for it.

You're the type of dude who would ask criminals to kill you last and thank them for it.

@Sabrason Ah. So you only believe if a government says so. Then only then it’s true. Societies existed before governments did. You seem to have no flexible understanding of human behavior. You must also believe that animals don’t claim territories since no government said so 🤡

@Sabrason oh my God you were. It wasn’t up for grabs. They were using it. We took it from them. If you can recognize that at some point they took that land from other tribes, then you can also recognize that we conquered it. We didn’t just take land that was up for grabs. Nor do I need to be educated from a random man on the internet. You do not know my education level, and based off of the questionable language you used, I can tell your points are leaning towards prejudice more than fact

@Sabrason I don’t remember what this comment thread was on. But I swear to God, if this is about Native Americans, ans you chose to call them squatters, we gonna have a problem

@Sophia Troanska Incorrect.  Again, there were no land ownership rights for NA.  They were nomads squatting on land that they themselves seized control of from the people who occupied it before them so it was up for grabs and constantly changed hands.  I'm glad I could educate you because you desperately needed it.  You're welcome.

@Sophia Troanska There were no ownership rights back then SOPHIA so stop perpetuating lies.

The bus boys and some of the servers are all hispanic most of the Italian restaurants so that would make sense.

Oh no! You shouldn't have said that! I say gracias! Lol!

Any Italian would understand the Spanish way of saying thank you and vice versa. The difference is more like a different accent than a different language.

@Dio A I'm sure you're one of the geniuses who think whites and blacks are a race, right?

@Homunculus Rex Drejka sounds like a west Slavic name to me. If you are of the belief that Czechs, Slovenians, etc are not white then you really need to have your vision checked.

@Makis Makiavelis It depends, in Spain c is closer to the "z" sound, but in most of Latin America it resembles more the "s" sound. Tho I recommend not generalising anything Spanish related since there are a lot of countries and they all make their little tweaks to the language.

@Chris Hopkins <br>Holly crap! I didn't know that. So, the "th" started when people wanted to make a member of royalty feel better about their speech impediment? They must have loved him very much or feared him very much.

He shooted in response to a physical aggression while the first man assaulted him in response to fucking WORDS. Shooting in response to a physical aggression is 100% justified. Starting physical aggression in response to a simple VERBAL altercation, is NEVER justified. Furthermore, the physical aggression WAS life threating. Would he have fell wrong on the concrete floor, he would have died. All you here minimizing the push, but in reality HE COULD HAVE DIED. PEOPLE DIE ALL THE TIME FROM FALLING WRONG. The shooting was a 100% justified response to a life threating aggression.

@Makis Makiavelis depends where in Spain, some parts use “C” other parts use “th”.  All stems from a historic member of royalty who had a lisp, and his loyal subjects imitated him! Mad world :)

Why no one talks about the fact that the initial physical aggression was a massive overuse of force. He pushed him from the back on a concrete floor for a verbal altercation. People have fucking died for falling wrong. It's a shame he went to prison for defending himself. At least he helped society by terminating an animal.

Lol! I've experienced that but the other way around: being a Spaniard myself living in an English speaking country, and a number of times someone tried to pleased me by uttering a word in Italian, just because my actual Spanish name feels Italian to them. At first I used to laugh and explain, last times though I would just answer in Italian myself and move on, I waste less time that way.

he probably says arigato at a chinese restaurant as well

@Aurora Biondo so it's the ignorant bragging.<br>Asking coz in Europe there are dozens of languages. So when a foreigner tries to thank/greet a waitress or a store clerk  in the local language, even with a very bad pronunciation, it is usually received kindly, as an attempt to be polite towards the local culture. But  I guess it's a different story here.

@DriftedKart259
I need a clarification on that :)
Is it frowned upon to try to connect with waitresses by thanking them in their own tongue, or is it because of mispronounced 'Grazie' ? Thanks.
PS I dont think that guy was saying 'negative' and other stuff to connect but rather he had been playing cop all his life, which clearly shows in other moments.

@AL he’s attempting to connect with the investigators by saying stuff like”affirmative” and other crap, kind of like how an upper-middle-class adult would try to connect with a waiter/waitress at an Italian restaurant by saying “gracias” or thank you, in Spanish.

@AL gracias means thank you in Spanish! So it's a way to say how ignorant they look trying to brag about what they think it's right.

I don't get that caltural reference. Please explain. Thanks

@Reggin Reggin The idea of a country is a construct of borders. Borders change all the time. Land is land. This was their land. Period. Their borders were based on tribes. My point still stands.

The interrogation here is extremely impressive in my opinion. At first I bought the cops' act as they were being friendly and polite to the suspect and I was horrified, before I realized they were acting exactly how they needed to to get Drejka to talk. I bought their act totally in the beginning.

Also, I'm not surprised by the verdict at all. The defence attorney's closing statements to the jury was downright insulting to their intelligence.


He's on the ground after being shoved by the other man, when he positioned himself to reach for his pistol, from his point of view, it could look like the other man was advancing on him. The view distance shortens from in the lying position to the position he was in when he fired. Threatening other people with a gun? This to me could mean he wanted to feel dominant over others & got a thrill out of freaking people out?<br>If the other guy got shot, but not fatality, then I would be in favour of the gunman, but he gave no warning that he was armed & the gunshot through the lung & heart was a precision shot. The gunman was looking for trouble & to find any excuse to use his weapon. How would you react if you were blind sided & you hit the ground hard? Through the shock, he fired with anger. If the black guy only kept things verbal, then maybe, all this would of only been a recording of a heated argument. It's unfortunate how things played out.

He started this entire travesty upset about someone illegally parked when he himself was illegally parked. The guy was back away after the pushed because he saw he had a deadly weapon. As the guy is turning away or running away he shot him, it’s not self defense at that point.


The worst part is that this guy could have just swallowed his pride, got up, and walked away and then press charges for assault if he wanted.


This case teach us a lesson never physically push or assault anyone because you never know if they have any weapon.
