Lesson: mind your own business, avoid petty confrontation

Also, don't talk to cops until you've spoken to a lawyer.

Lesson 3: dont walk with gun if you dont know when or when not to use it 😂

Seems the other guy got a bigger lesson.

Bro, the best advice you could give someone.

@Sereti Lee  No matter what if you’re in the interrogation room you should never talk without a lawyer present. It’s very easy to incriminate yourself even if you are not guilty. In this case however this guy is guilty.

America, the land of the free: Mind your own business, do not speak out against offenses because you should expect to get hurt. Ahh that good old freedom of speech thing still alive and well, in their fantasies...

@R J I think the fact he went up to the woman in the car and started shouting was definitely the wrong way to go about it.<br>A simple "hey I see you don't have a disability placard, I know you are in a rush but someone might need this spot." Would have been much more tactful.

@Gerald McDermott I am just taking the original post at face value. We should definitely encourage others to follow the law, even something like a person littering people should be give them the stink eye. Shouting and then pulling a gun... hmmm, that is not the type of encouragement I am thinking of or suggesting.

@TheNeomaster15 Well yea, you are 100% right. I would probably get involved, but I meant in petty confrontation like in this video. Confronting someone over parking in a handicap spot in an empty parking lot couldve saved 2 lives. Both McGlockton and Drejka's since there is a high chance he will die in prison.

@TheNeomaster15 Philly resident. Valid point but sure we are talking about a handicapped parking spot and comparing it to sexual assault. Come on now dawg

Not going to argue your last two points cause I agree with them but the first point "mind your own business" is a bad take. In Philadelphia a man groped a woman on a train with her trying to make him stop and no one told him to fuck off or tried to help the woman. Should people just mind their own business when a sexual assault happens?

not even if you have spoken to a lawyer.  Never speak to any police officer or investigator not one word.   This man is only in jail because he is inarticulate.  He isn't a master liar or even a criminal.

Being wrong about your perception of events, is not a guilty mind.

He doesn't understand the role of the police officer whose sole goal is to make him appear guilty.  This man lacks the requisite intent "mens rea" or guilty mind to be guilty.  This is obvious, as he even tells the cop if the video showed differently he wouldn't believe him.  There isn't a shred of evidence this man thought or believed he wasn't under attack and at risk for serious bodily harm.

Almost all the comments are about him being wrong in his memory of events.  This man did not prepare his responses or review a video tape and simply told his perception.  Being wrong is not a crime.  2.5 seconds? Not guilty  Sad part is this man probably got reaction training from the same police department.

@Devada he didn't say that🤣 youre gonna have to try harder than that to put words in someone's mouth. "Avoid petty arguments" he wouldn't have shot anyone had he not started a petty argument.

@Sereti Lee good for you for watching a documentary about a few bad cops. Your parents must be so proud of you for watching that. Too bad that case has nothing to do with this case. It was an okay try though.

Yep. I live in TX where it feels like everyone but me is armed to the teeth. Therefore, I avoid confrontation. It’s absolutely not worth losing your life over a parking spot, your place in line, or some other inconsequential thing.

And don't park in the handicapped stall unless you are legally allowed to do so.

No the lesson is the aggressor got what he wannted

No the lesson is the aggressor got what he wannted

no , why ? are u saying the lesson is that its fine that you kill someone just dont incriminate yourself?

nah murderers and rapists and pedophiles should def talk up a storm to the cops!!

fucking seriously, Capt. America here left a family without a father and he went to jail for saving the day, great job capt america!

His lesson should of been don’t be tough with women he was tough until her husband came out and pushed him I hate how people are scary now a days

@Sereti Lee ehhh, 4 headshots and explained himself for hours... Sounds very improbably

@Ras Mus and police never show evidence if they not have to. If he get the paperwork and see the cctv he can fit his statement to the evidence.

you forgot a couple: don't park in a handicapped spot, move your car if asked to, don't violently assault random people.

Unless you are a car Park enforcement civilian officer

Unless you are a car Park enforcement civilian officer

3 great points every parent should tell their kids

3 great points every parent should tell their kids

@Ras Mus sometimes things are not as they seem to be,  i came across some documentary where that best explains my point in this regard. a welfare check was requested on a couple. the cops knocked on the door and guy opened. he had a black eye which he couldn't explain how he got it. his girlfriend lay dead on the couch and he just assumed that he was sleeping. his he was interrogated for hours by cops who wanted to get nothing but a confession out of him. he kept saying that they were attacked but the cops weren't buying it. after several hours the cops realized that he was telling the truth and he had been shot 4 times in the head and somehow he managed to survive.

@Ras Mus So true.  Guilty or not, never talk to the police without a lawyer present.

And don't park in handicapped spaces if you are healthy.

And don't park in handicapped spaces if you are healthy.

@Sereti Lee
Regarding how interrogations work...
I think a key word here is "suspect". The police try to find "suspects", who the police "suspect" of doing something. I hope that may help in understanding how the police operates.

Anyway, I kind of think that the police should find the truth. But at the end of the day, they really just do try to get damning evidence or even confessions. "Finding" the "truth" is something the court of law has to figure out. The police is presenting interrogation footag, often. And it often is uses as evidence, successfully, as we see here.

Cheers

2 lessons here mate; avoid jail by avoiding confrontation over silly things.<br>Avoid getting shot by crazy mofos by not parking in disabled spaces.

@Sereti Lee Race has nothing to do with it. This guy just has an inferiority complex and fell powerful while carrying a gun. Remember he has taken his gun out to intimidate five or four other people before he killed this man.

@Sereti Lee The whole point of not showing  video evidence or any incriminating evidence against him is to catch him in a lie. Even though he was cooperating he was willing to change the narrative to try to make himself look less guilty.  The video showed other wise and that helps the prosecution have an stronger case.

@FallenAngel  true, I don't know much about interrogation, but in my opinion, these cops were framing their questions to get a narrative that was convenient to them.

@Justin Hill they saw the video but did not actually hear the audio.

@Sereti Lee they already saw the video. They knew what happened.

@Sereti Lee I guess you don't know how interrogations work do you.

makes me wonder the cops' intentions when they are interrogating this guy. I feel like they are pushing for the guy to incriminate himself rather than trying to find out what exactly happened after the guy had clearly shown that he was willing to cooperate. I think they should have shown him the video and have him explain what happened as events transpired.


The <i>'Miss my girls'</i> comment, referring to his dogs, is a perfect example of how deluded he is. Bro, you offed a person por pushing you. You're crying about your dogs but didn't shed a single tear when the detectives told you that you murdered that man. Ridiculous.

The _'Miss my girls'_ comment, referring to his dogs, is a perfect example of how deluded he is. Bro, you offed a person por pushing you. You're crying about your dogs but didn't shed a single tear when the detectives told you that you murdered that man. Ridiculous.

@Sabrason firstly, you have no clue what MDMA does. If anything, it would make someone the opposite of likely to kill someone.

Secondly, the video evidence clearly shows mcglockton retreating. if you watch the literal video tape of the killing, there is absolutely no other conclusion you can come to unless you delude yourself.

im no hoplophobe, i love guns and think all people, other than dangerous people who think its okay to shoot someone who's retreating, should be able to carry one.

please just watch the video with your eyes actually open, and at least try to leave your racial bias at the door beforehand, okay?

@filler Not true but anything can be used as a weapon including body parts (hands, feet, etc).   SYG laws define when a person can use LETHAL force to prevent further bodily harm, not you and your nonsense opinions.

@Baby Face My gf's black so how can I be a racist?

@Psi He took a step back but could've pulled a firearm and fired back at Drejka at the same time so there was no way to know in that moment.  It's not like he put his hands up and said "don't shoot" --- he didn't say anything.  A hoplophobe is somebody who's anti-gun, not pro-gun. If you don't live in the US and are not familiar with our SYG laws then you're not qualified to offer an intelligent opinion about it.

@Anna Arkless Yelling at someone isn't grounds for assault. And you don't have to be armed to kill. You can kill someone with your bare hands. You dont need to verify that the man has a weapon to be justified in self defence. In this case, the defendent was in the wrong. His actions would have been justified if he had shot multiple times immediately after drawing his firearm(or in other words, in a panic). But he waited 2-3 seconds, fired once, then boasted about it to police. He wasn't afraid, and so it wasn't justified.

@FlavoredRice yes, its assault. but he wasnt "talking" to his wife, he was shouting at her. and assault, unless theres a clear reason to believe that the other person is armed and ready to kill (which obviously wasnt the case), is no excuse for shooting to kill without even thinking

@Anna Arkless Shoving a man half your size and twice your age to the ground without so much as a word for talking to your wife is not defending your family. That's assault.

@FlavoredRice even if he didnt retreat, killing an unarmed attacker 2 seconds after you were pushed over is an extreme overreaction. he had a lot more time to think and assess the situation, but he was just a trigger happy moron who killed a guy who was trying to protect his family

@Anna Arkless "I didn't know he was retreating, all I know is that he was attacked me and wanted to kill me. I was very afraid." This argument has been used to win many, many self defence cases. The defendent here clearly didn't think this was the case and tried to get revenge on an attacker which is obviously not OK.

@FlavoredRice no, not if he's clearly and obviously retreating. did you watch the video?

@Anna Arkless I get what your saying but you absolutely can shoot someone for assaulting you because you are afraid that they might kill you. The problem here is that the defendent basically destroyed any defence he might have had by talking to the police as if he was a hero who calmly and sensibly eliminated a threat. Thats a position that you can't really defend.

He widow a woman and orphaned a child yet he feels nothing but self pity

@Justin thats terrifying, I absolutely agree. Even as a non american, i'm completely in favour of the 2nd amendment and am pro gun - but people like sabrason who clearly pose a threat to people around them should forfeit this right.

i cant understand how someone could watch this video, learn about the case, see the literal video evidence of mcglockton retreating, and still try to defend his killer. not only that, but call the victim a "violent animal", its honestly a horrifying outlook.

@Anna Arkless Sabrason has said this same bullshit on multiple other comment threads. He claims to be a gun owner with a concealed carry license, and if that's the case, I fear for the community that he lives in. He has no idea what proper SYG is, and if he were put into this situation, he might've even followed McGlockson into the store and shot him again in the head while he's laying in a pool of blood. I'm a gun owner and I can confidently say that anyone the defends Drejka as Sabrason does, does not deserve to have their 2nd amendment right.

@Sabrason Respect me, i'm not your mother. Don't mistake me for her.

@Zheka Zheka Exactly, same here and people will continue to do the same thing but they'll be smarter about what they say to police afterward.  Many legal experts thought it was a justified SYG shooting but Drejka made the mistake of cooperating with police instead of shutting up and lawyering up and the Judge wanted to punish him for being a wannabe parking lot cop.  That's the only reason he was convicted.

@Nadia Mendes Anybody who lays hands and commits assault deserves whatever force the victim feels is necessary to prevent further bodily harm = SYG law.

@PhoenixSidePeen Way to side with a drug addicted aggressor

@n p their father brought it in himself my attacking Michael

Maybe cause that man attacked him an he shit in self defense?

@Sabrason you just gave an excuse for someone to get killed

Technically, he didn't murder the man. It was manslaughter. Murder is homicide with intent, or homicide that was planned out. Michael was acting in the moment, he didn't plan on killing Markus the night or week before. making it manslaughter, homicide without malice aforethought.

@Baiaku @Brooke Earhart @Shinozu @Psi

Guys, let's be fair. Clearly what Michael would be feeling is shame and guilt when he killed him. However, shame, guilt and lonliness are not the same things. Feeling shameful or remorseful for killing someone would not assert a feeling of sadness. Therfore, Michael would not be crying because of guilt either. He may feel guilty, and feels like he deserves what's coming to him, but he still wouldn't feel lonely because he murdered someone he didn't know until a couple of hours ago. When he misses his dogs, he is feeling lonely. He wants a sense of friendship in him, but was sad when he couldn't meet that need. He could have been deluded, but let's be honest here. wouldn't we all be depressed if we were lonely.

@Sabrason Woooow! And I totally don't suspect any bias in this comment. (sarcasm, mind you) Did you not watch the whole video, or are you just racist, because I sure don't want to make any assumptions like Michael.

@Sabrason hey, way to victim blame though.

@tenkomori people are stronger companions than animals, you know this

@tenkomori bc he is responsible for the unwarranted death of a man and a family with children now suffer, if an animal who’s life is completely pointless is seen as more valuable you have a problem

Or it shows he truly felt justified in self defense. Anything outside of the video like trying to explain someones feelings is speculation.

his comment about missing his dogs is so trivial when the children of the man he murdered will certainly miss their father. truly fucked up.

hahahah I had no Idea he was referring to dogs.


I hate that their children witnessed their dads death like that. That must've been so hard to get over :(

@ThunderChungus the child is unable to tell the difference between a loving family and an unloving one

@George Clarke Im pretty sure they were 4 years of age minimum.

@Obi-Wan Kenobi “more stupid”
So by this I’m gathering that you agree the physical aggressor was stupid as well? I’m glad we agree.

I think you missed the part of my original reply where I said “Yes” as in “I agree Mike is a dumbass.”

Yup, they never getting over that, they just have to deal with it...

Its terrible man. I do think the guy is an asshole for pushing and staying at a handicapped spot,  but holy shit be killed over that is crazy. And those kids, that's seriously terrible.

@Obi-Wan Kenobi “Mike is the dumbass” <br>Yes but are you implying that the guy who shoved him wasn’t also unbelievably stupid? lol

@Obi-Wan Kenobi “Mike is the dumbass”
Yes but are you implying that the guy who shoved him wasn’t also unbelievably stupid? lol

@Hollow (Trapped in a elevator) even when parents abuse children they still love them. people can’t really tell the difference between love and abuse

@CR3MLINS unless they like abused you <br>But he didn't so what you say is true.

@CR3MLINS unless they like abused you
But he didn't so what you say is true.

@More Human Than Human As a person who has lived though something like this and not having a dad. Yes. It is a horrible and painful scar you will have to deal with no matter what. Nothing can replace the person who put you in this world.

No getting over that shit... That's a scar for life


As a someone who also conceal and carries, this is so out of line... carrying a gun doesn’t make you a tough guy. His life was never in danger. He was looking for a reason to pull his weapon, also he has a history of it. He’s the type of person who wants everyone to know that he carries and it strokes his ego by doing it... the outcome of this doesn’t surprise me at all.

@Cheryl Lees nah thats exactly why they should have guns. And anybody with a gang affiliation needs to be detained immediately 👌🏻

That’s why everyday citizens should not have access to guns!! It is insane, America’s gun laws are NUTS.

Well, my thing is this, if you get attacked and pushed to the ground how do you know they're not about to stomp you or take your weapon?

How interesting Americans frequently talk about using and having guns for defense. This guy bought into that sales pitch. It cost a young man his life. This consequence is surely foreseeable. He is a victim of his self righteousness and fear. The young man who died too eas a casualty of the gun loving culture that is everywhere.

Luna EB fucking idiot!! What a stupid comment

Anthony Michael Durkin so it’s ok for somebody to put their hands on him when he was just shouting? She was shouting to!  He was not the first person to use violence the dead guy is!! See how that turned out for him! Maybe he shouldn’t have pushed him over!?

How would he know his life wasn’t in danger when he was pushed hard to the floor??

@Jac S Right. Assumed the "Black guy", who immediately begin to retreat once he knew the killer was armed with a gun, his hands clearly  visibleand empty, was armed "to". Even thre killer admits that he saw nonweapon, and that he thought that he was about to be attacked "kicked". If you want to defend this lying murderer, just try and defend him outright. Don't try and defend him while pretending to be objective in the face of facts which clearly prove otherwise.

We all know he was about to get a beating ,  the woman got out of the car as soon as she seen her man come out of the store .  If he didn't pull out that gun It was going down .  Truth is everyone was at fault,  the woman started everything by parking in a handicap spot , the shooter should have just minded his own business,  but to ignore the victim was acting aggressive,  he stepped it up , escalated the situation , violence was not called for and he paid the ultimate penalty.

@S P That's why you don't talk to the cops. Even when you're innocent, they'll pry and pry until they get a contradiction in your narrative. They're the second prosecution attorney.

Wait a min he could've died on the spot if he hit his head bouncing from that sidewalk like whaaat ? He was assaulted

Just took the course; we covered this case.

Dude blind sided him and he hit pretty damn hard on the pavement. All because his lazy ass didn't park in a regular parking spot. To say his life wasn't in danger is a total lie. The reason people carry is to protect themselves, and the only reason the attacker didn't follow up with punches and kicks was that he saw the man had a gun. If he didn't have a gun he would have been seriously beaten.

wrong, store owner had no clue he carried

Concealed carry everyday because I live in the woods and it’s kind of necessary. I’ve even been in fights while carrying and never drawn my firearm! I believe in gun rights but people should have to get a real psychological evaluation before you can concealed carry or own anything besides a 22 caliber.

sad weak man...his fragile EGO...how dare someone push me to the ground...over something he started...

Exactly! Hes got an inferiority complex he trys to fix prophalactically with a gun. Rich

Exactly! I have a CCP and being a disabled vet with a handicap placard I get annoyed when people park in handicapped spots when they don’t have one. Yet I never go off on someone for it to create a problem or say anything. Maybe a shake of my head that’s it. Which is funny because people have no issues saying stuff to me assuming I must of stole my grandmas placard. Lol


Not enough people are mentioning (although I only thought about it when someone else mentioned) this dude flat out drove up to the woman's car, parked illegally himself, and then started yelling at her loud enough to get her husband's attention inside the store.

He certainly doesn't care about law and order, and thinks he's above the law in enforcing his will on others, so he can feel like a big man with a gun.

He must've seen who was in the car from a way off, and for some reason decided to antagonize her.

@Hammerest yep, see my edit. He clearly had no intention of avoiding a confrontation from the beginning. He’s not a cop, or the proprietor so where they parked was literally none of his business.

@Mike Neuburger the gun wasn't there for self defense. It was a "force multiplier" to win fights.

@largestbiddie if he’d done his due diligence and waited half a second after drawing his gun they guy probably would have backed off. Self defense with a firearm doesn’t have to equate to shooting someone with it. It happens without a shot fired all the time. <edit> he was already backing off 🤦♂

We all know why he started the argument after seeing a black woman in the car

Exactly, I would only add to your first paragraph,  WITH A LOADED GUN??!?! This man is clearly insane


Such a senseless loss of Life. Those children are now left without a daddy not to mention that little boy has got to have PTSD from watching his father die in front of his eyes. People need to learn (or Re-learn,) how to de-escalate.


This dude is a CLOWN. He makes self defenders look bad. He was thinking “oh yess I finally get to use my pistol as self defense” that’s why it took 2 seconds to pull the trigger. He couldn’t help himself. He wanted to use it

@sc666666 well u made my point. It’s questionable. The fact there was enough time for him to assert the situation, and NOTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. But he still pressed the trigger. And that’s why he lost in court too

@Mr D It does matter how hard the shove was, you don’t know if he would’ve done anything else, you don’t know if anyone was coming out of the car to aid in the attack. It is questionable how long it took for him to shoot.

@sc666666 true with “play stupid games win stupid prizes” but he clearly didn’t have to shoot. And that’s just a fact. It doesn’t matter how hard the shove was. He’s wasn’t going to do anything more. Especially when he saw the pistol coming out. Dude even pointed the pistol at him for 2.5 seconds and the dude was backing away. He DIDNT have to pull the trigger. U hold your aim on him, get up, back away and leave and call police. If he done that he’d be free and the dude woulda got his due punishment for the assault

@SizzleBae what? “Even if he’s in the wrong it’s not the risk of my freedom”. Yeah that’s right. I carry and if I was in this situation, I would have not shot at alllll! Because I don’t wanna kill him OR go to prison cuz I woulda known it wouldn’t be justifiable

@sc666666 bold accusation from one that assumed that the man who died from a "self defense" act was "most likely a thug" because of his skin color.

@William Sundbaum sure you are. Probably a colonist also.

@William Sundbaum sure you are. Probably a colonist also.

@sc666666 no what you said was suspiciously racist, i'm not a racist for pointing it out lol

@William Sundbaum fine! But your asking is racist.

@William Sundbaum fine! But your asking is racist.

@Mr D so you would’ve brandished a firearm without feeling the threat to use it? You realize there have been deaths from throwing people to the pavement with that force.

@Gordon Collins sooooo his thug violence in the video doesn’t count?

@Gordon Collins sooooo his thug violence in the video doesn’t count?

@sc666666 "most likely a thug" uhh slightly sus on the racism scale

@sc666666 "most likely a thug" uhh slightly sus on the racism scale

@Gordon Collins WHEN your in a sitation like that you dont know whats happening im not saying the guys a good person but i think its compleatly justifyable him pulling the gun out i dont think people relise how much damage someone can do to you if your on the ground kick to the head could give you brain damage you dont want that shit he wants the agressor in this sitaution either he was the one that got attacked

@Brandon Ice they parked illigaly thats why he was pissed at them and annoying them to get them to move there car lol

@sc666666well I wouldn’t have shot I woulda showed the pistol and put distance between us.. I get  it tho, you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.  But the punishment didn’t fit the crime. The fact is, he wasn’t gonna keep attacking. He pushed and walked away a little. And if he did everything he did BESIDES shoot, it woulda ended there

@Spektor 22 he was literally looking for trouble. It’s not his job to see which car should be in a disabled parking spot or not, if there was a problem he should have called the right people to deal with it. He intentionally started a fight and even had his pistol on him. He just wanted to boost his ego with his gun

@Bobby Flay no you can't. Pleace yourself in that situation. If You have a gun you cant take kick in head because you provide gun to someone who have no boundies. You can't do that. Thats why pulling gun in this situation was 100% correct. BUT shoting someone was simply wrong, and only that part.

@Timothy Bayliss watch closely 2:30 black guy walk to shooter before he pull gun and after pushing him.  It is preposterous to asume that pulling up gun was escalation because it prevent white guy to get beat up. And rightly so because when You have a gun you have to pull it before someone can take it from you or beat you because then it was to late. BUT when black guy back down and don't move ONLY THEN white guy can deescalate situation, as he should. Killing him in this situation was murder, he should have call cops if he fell hurt by that push, but killing someone for that is crazy.

Anyone defending this mans actions on killing a man proves that all of you should not beyond any circumstance, own or operate any firearm. Y’all are clowns and cowards. I wouldn’t trust y’all with karate lessons. Focus on growing up as human beings instead of reverting back to children in adult bodies.

@Robert Mercer  That's what I'm seeing people don't how to use fists anymore.

@Robert Mercer  That's what I'm seeing people don't how to use fists anymore.

@Mr D I've been involved in multiple situations unfortunately where someone gets shoved, then gets up and fights. What follows is a pissed off person with backup and weapons to retaliate. It's not so cut an dry like you make it seem. If you push/punch/whatever someone to the ground, expect retaliation. I'm not justifying anything, just saying what is real.

Reading through this thread makes it seem like Americans care more about freedom than people's life.  "Even if he’s in the wrong it’s not the risk of my freedom." No emphasis on the life you would take.  (I'm for self-defense, but the mentality I see surrounding it is worrying)

@Spektor 22 man pull the gun but if the guy is clearly backing away then your point is proven, you’re safe.

Thank you.   I agree.

Why was he only charged with manslaughter?

Thank you.   I agree.

@Spektor 22 don’t start pointless arguments with women in a car then

Yea like he literally just pushed him. I feel this guy was just going out to make someone mad so he could shoot someone and say he did it if u get what I’m saying

@Spektor 22 understanding force escalation is also key because you could also use too much force.

shane glass Don’t like the option of your life being taken from you? Don’t put your hands on another human being, and your chances of surviving go way up.  Words are not a reason to ever throw someone to the ground, and if you do then you may not being going home.

Yeah once I saw the video and the amount of time it took for him to draw, aim, and fire. He was 100% in the wrong. He got shoved. That act alone does not warrant a deadly force response.

Just saying “Self defenders” already makes you look like someone who is waaaay too in self defense

@Riptide omg NO, how did u not understand what I said? It’s quite simple  to read

@Riptide omg NO, how did u not understand what I said? It’s quite simple  to read

The preamble of the narrator made it sound like the other guy was on top of him. When I saw a guy on his knees aiming a gun at a guy that really wasn't moving it threw me for a loop. The presentation of a firearm was an escalation of force, the use of a brandished firearm is too convey that further aggression will.be met with deadly force.

Exactly this CLOWN is the reason people want to repeal the 2nd amendment.

Exactly this CLOWN is the reason people want to repeal the 2nd amendment.

being a self defender is important. Doesn’t matter that we don’t live in a war zone. Some people are just too stupid to own guns. But tha law is tha law and it won’t change just cuz he was irresponsible with a firearm

We don’t live in a war zone, so it’s not wise to get training on using deadly force - your subconscious might seek out a situation where you could use it. One slip and you might get your fantasy, but at the cost of your freedom (society needs to be protected). Why society is keen to put shooters in jail, but strongly resists gun control is a bit of a paradox however. It seems the spirit of the law and special interest lobby groups are in a tug-of-war.

@-- perfect counter argument. i didnt think of that

@-- perfect counter argument. i didnt think of that

@Balloon Eater You don't get to shoot someone just because they "might" have a gun. Anyone could pull a gun on you, that doesn't give you the right to shoot them just in case.

If that's the case then the push was also justified because he "might" have attacked his wife.

@Spektor 22 It seems like everyone defending this guy has an equally stupid false dichotomy. "Would you rather do nothing?" "Are you supposed to just take it?" "Would you just trust your attacker?"

None of you seem to understand the fact that he could have kept the gun aimed at him until he left, then call the police and/or leave the area.

@Spektor 22 so you’re supporting on what he did

@Spektor 22 so you’re supporting on what he did

@Spektor 22 umm yea, if it happened exactly like it DID happen. Dude pushed him and backed away. He wasn’t charging. And I would have seen that and told s him I don’t want any trouble. If u carry a gun it’s on you to de escalate so u don’t have to use your pistol. At the very MOST all he had to do was pull his pistol out and show the dude.

So if someone throws you to the ground over a verbal dispute would you be comfortable trusting your aggressor to not kick you in the head? I personally would not trust a person physically attacking me. Being on the ground is a dangerous place to be. Look at the the people being attacked while on the ground in the recent riots. I already had to relearn how to walk once, and really don’t want to go through that again.


This is the guy who binge watches all Active Self Protection videos, skipping over all the lessons and then carries a handgun around just PRAYING he get's the chance to use it. He's the perfect example of a person who shouldn't carry and we can all do our part to grind our teeth from all his cringe and learn his stupid lessons too.

Active Self Protection 😂😂😂 He probably pictures himself like he's Bruce Willis in "Die Hard" 😂😂😂

I watch those vids alot but I'm not permitted to carry my pistol concealed so I never do but even if I did I'd think 3 times before pulling it out especially when I know I'm not a fucking navy seal or anything like that god forbid a stray bullet hits a kid or something like that I couldn't live with myself if I did that and I never put myself in positions like this or start fights because I feel all big with a gun in my waistband. This man should obviously never owned a firearm some people can't handle having all that killing potential in their holster and let it get to their head. My brother got rid of a rifle he had because he was having mental issues and knew it wouldn't be responsible for other people around him to keep it. Responsible gun owners usually never let it be known they have a gun and don't act offensively. Especially don't go looking for trouble

This is why people need to learn actual gun safety and learn how to act with guns. Guns are just  tools. No different from a power saw or a drill. Humans are the only thing that can add intent to any action carried out with any firearm. This is what happens when idiots get ahold of dangerous tools. Just like the kind of idiots who cut their finger off with a circular saw or hit themselves with a chainsaw because they aren't practicing basic safety protocols. Except this guy was a step beyond, he wanted to cause an accident with the tool he didn't understand.

Definitely a lesson to be careful of confrontation, if you address something with negatively what do you expect to get out of it.  There is a way to educate someone about a wrong doing without creating confrontation, not they they aren’t like this guy. I guarantee had he been the one in the car it would have ended the same way he wanted a negative reaction probably based off first glance of the person sadly.

@Andrew Aeterno Sad to hear what happened to  you, but don't let it ruin your life today. Put it behind you and stay positive. Hope you have a lucky and happy future.

@Liyakun Montenegro Yep, a dude in jail has beat him with a lock in a sock, he was maybe trying to protect the handicap toilet  and forgot that he didn't have his gun in there. The guy with the sock should have a medal for that.

@Vivi Gesso So Happy to read that.  Myself would have done the same, maybe worst

Most that carry are very responsible and the last thing they want is a confrontation of any kind.

I have to agree with you 100%. So many people carry that should never even have access to a firearm.

The entire time all that kept going through my mind was active self protection...although i KNOW he would NOT approve even if he hasn't already went over this exact video I just had a feeling it was those videos or those types that made him feel like it was ok...clearly only taking bits and pieces out he has missed the bigger picture. All the tactical shit he claims to have done he did horribly even if in the moment u should still be able to tell if someone is holding still or moving towards or away from you and why start some shit if you need to bring a pistol to a fist fight!?


When you are carrying a firearm, you have a moral obligation to avoid and de-escalate confrontation at all costs. Even if it means seeming like a coward to someone being aggressive.

You definitely don't start screaming at people for stuff like parking in a handicapped spot. The gun isn't a second dick. It doesn't make you a tough guy.

See I’m anti-gun, but I love this take, we need more people like you, it would make America a much safer place

Glad to see there are SOME people in the comments who know the first thing about CC.


Wow, the defense attorney was reaching... ''The colour was off, definitely not HD quality video''


There was no need for him to shoot the guy but man he did only pull the trigger once. Most ppl survive when getting shot once unless it’s a bullseye in the head or heart


if he was there everyday then he would know that there are cameras.  guess he forgot that


Nothing is more dangerous than a American who failed to become a cop or who wants to be one and can't be


Defense lawyer sounded like he was reading a lullaby 😴😴😴


I got a Cheerios ad before this video. A video that the first sentence starts with "The definition of justifiable homicide..."


You know, he initiated the first confrontation with the woman. Then In hand to hand, he shot a man. The man had no weapon, and a few seconds went by then he’s shot. I carry every day, but I’d never shoot unless they shoot at me first. Otherwise we can do hand to hand combat. I’d rather a few bumps and bruises and a headache than taking a man’s life. I’ve done two tours in Afghanistan as an 11B. I’ve boxed since I was 9. I’d rather give or take an a••whooping than to take that person’s last breath from them. Just my opinion though🤷♂. But he could’ve avoided all this, he just felt too big. He misused his rights. People like him are scum, and impulsive.


My heart breaks for Marquise McGlouglin, Brittany Jacob’s and their precious children. Michael Derek’s is a vigilante run amok. He wasn’t your regular vigilante. He was out looking to kill someone and he did. First degree murder.


To collapse in front of my son.. What gives me life itself... Idk.. My thoughts wouldve been of him and thinking ive got to make it, I cant leave him/them.. Im just speculating here but the white guy couldve actually been fearing for his life but if it was me. If I had to pull the gun out it wouldve been because the other guy pulled a gun out. A man defending his woman is nothing the be killed over and all over parking in a handicapped space? Dude your not batman! And he doesnt look handicap himself! Just park somewhere else and go on about your business.. But no instead hes got to make a big deal about it and take a father away from his children.. In front of them no less.. These are reasons I hate my own race.


He caused everything by being a Karen. The father was doing what a father is supposed to do.


Lol I'm assuming the racism from the convict here is so painfully obvious that no one felt the need to comment on it. "She was probably smoking crack" and the concept of black children losing their father and a wife losing her husband to gun violence at the hands of a self-entitled white man.

But genuinely, also appreciate the comments detailing gun ownership responsibilities - very cool

Would it be any different if he lost his life to gun violence at the hands of a fellow black?


There is another one not minding his business and playing the enforcer and starting stuff then when overpowered talks about "self defense". If someone is physically assaulted you should intervene if you can. But if some idiot is parked in a handicapped spot, as uncivil, selfish, pathetic (and criminal) as it may be, just mention it to the person if you want, but don't start something, then talk about self defense. Had he not started this he would never have had to self defend himself. You can't instigate a situation then claim to be the victim.


19 min to respond to someone being shot.... 19 min...... wow.


He just needs a little PRISON in his life and he'll be alright.


That cop reminds me of Hank from Breaking Bad


40:26 Definitely a stretch in basically accusing him of being a racist.


39:30 "anything you would change about what happened"... and he says no...


Who does he work for? The enforcer without pay? He has had issues from Childhood! I bet that to be true!


This man was prepared to kill that whole family


19 minute reponse time by EMS is insane, I thought America was a 1st world country


You know what a force multiplier is. Ah no, we don’t lol


43:18 People said the same thing about Jeffrey Dahmer.


19 minutes for someone who got shoot wow we all know why it took so long........


Cops asking questions = Nails in the coffin


I completely agree that this guy is guilty of murder. But the thing that annoys me is that a police officer would have done exactly the same as him in his situation. Both murderers that can't fight fairly.


"I neutralized the threat"...  said the wanna be.


His hand got healed miraculously by the 18th minute


He was itching to use that gun for decades.


This is why you shut up and never speak to the cops!


As a human being, we are born with ego, self-esteem, pride and hot temper. From what i saw in this, the black guy came and pushed the white guy fall down to the street. What else has fallen? All the listed above, and that'd trigger the incident causes both of them paid a very high price.


Lol again still laugh at this heres an idea iv had people argue with my girl friends before unless they physically harm her I see no point in shoving a man to the ground. XD Poor guy he went before his brother Fentanyl Floyd. THUG LIFE


It's the little things about this story. The way he describes shooting a man in the chest as "neutralizing a threat". The way he snidely reacts to the fact that she has kids in the car 24:50 , and the way he balks at even taking the bullets out of the magazine, as if it's ridiculous not to be ready to kill someone at a moment's notice. This is not the first time he confronted random people with a gun, either. He was waiting for something like this to happen so he could be G.I. Joe. This guy is self-righteous POS and deserves to be locked up.


Is this the mythical "good guy with a gun"?


I'm shocked this guy doesnt work for Metro States Jeremy DeWitt.


not really the point of the video but 35:30. HOW the hell can you be a Cop and not know what "force multiplier" means I'm in the UK which has the rarest shooting instince and still know what that means. Weird.


He quite eloquently  convicted himself....bawahahaha


The disabled parking enforcer is so inspiring! What heroism and bravery, to stand up for what is just and right, acting with such level headed judgment in the face of danger, he puts even the most hardened war veterans to shame!


I park far from all when I go anywhere. The world is to crazy to make a mistake these days.


Drejka is disgusting, to watch him cry bc he missing his children was really pathetic. <br>The little children they were in the car have now a life without a father and his wife without her husband. Just bc some moron wanted to play a cop ?? I mean 30y are not enough. The man lost his life and not only 30y. I would give drejka life in prison without a parole.

from the CCTV footage you can see the black dude backing off once he pushed. that alone means a threat is gone.


Isnt it funny how people look the part? You can take one look at this guy and go "yeah, I can totally see him flipping his shit at the slightest provocation"


He ask the detective where did the guy even come from?? U  no where he came frome because in the beginning u said the guy ran back into the store after u shot him y would u say back into the store 🤔 because u see him coming the whole time


Next time you park in a handicap spot think: is this spot to die for?


hes not a racist a narcissist is more fitting for this guy he thought he was the dark knight of handicap parking spots

Ehhhh I'd still call him a racist but I get what you're saying


I mean obviously you don't go shooting people.
That aside, the illegal parking of the woman and the shove of the man is also an "interesting" feature.
It's more like two bad things collide and the worse "wins".


Somehow the defense attorney is worse than his client, he's trying to do that "Alternative Facts Trump" voice thing


I see a lot of people saying the shooter was in the wrong and people saying the other guy shouldn’t have assaulted him.
Legally speaking. Yes. You are correct. Unless he was verbally threatening the guys wife with violence - he legally should not have shoved him like that.

However. As a man. I don’t get why anyone would make such a big deal about him being parked there for 2 minutes. And if I came out and some guy was screaming at my girlfriend and saying god knows what .. I would probably either yell at him or push him or some shit
I think this guy took an over dramatic dive when he pushed him. And I think this guy WANTED to shoot this man. Like he 100 percent did it out of anger. And not self defense. Which is fucking insane.

If I had a gun on me. I would NOT be going out of my way to potentially get into a physical altercation.  I think you are agreeing to certain principles when you carry a gun.


Guy shouldn't have been shot, but I don't see why he ran up and pushed the shooter. They were just arguing. A friend of mine pushed a drunk guy who fell, hit his head on the concrete and died. A family man. My buddy had his life pretty much destroyed because of that incident.


I'm not sure why, but him complaining about his arm and pretty much acting like it's broken really pissed me off. You're fine, the guy you killed....isnt

@xlr8r2010 Nah. If homeboy just minded his own business and stayed in his car. Didn't start an argument with oldgirl. He wouldn't be in jail right now.
As well like I said. He knew he had a gun with him, legally he had no business trying to start or have an argument with anyone, period.
If I registered my arms/hands as lethal weapons legally I can't start an altercation, or be apart of one because my hands are registered weapons. All anyone has to say is that they saw me raise my hand/arm, and I'm liable to get life just by swaying my arm. Even if no one got seriously hurt.

@James Ryder If the shove never happened...the gun, never gets fired. TRUTH!

@James Ryder, it seems the guy went out with the intention of starting an argument then shooting someone.

@Lookingglass Yeah, nah. You're simplifying too much. Homeboy obviously felt the need to defend his woman. Plus this dude had a gun, he shouldn't even be in a position where's he arguing with anyone. Most people who have their arms registered don't go start fights for no reason.

@Dr. Lex Winter Would you start an argument you didn't need to with someone parked in a handicapped spot? Then proceed to raise your voice so loud that someone felt the need to defend the person you were clearly yelling at? Of course YOU wouldn't. But he did, and he was all too quick to use his gun. In a situation that really didn't call for it.

@xlr8r2010Oh you're just saying huh? And if drejka wasn't cold blooded enough to shoot a man because he felt like it, he'd be alive. He is in prison for good reason. It wasn't self defense, this man was no longer any theat, he was backing off.  Are you saying it was appropriate for drejka to shoot and kill him after simply pulling the gun had already ended it? Your choice if words is very telling, as if you don't want to say it, but genuinely don't give a shit drejka wrongfully killing this man. Or you just have a disturbingly twisted sense of justice, and believe we should just kill each other in revenge. If I'm wrong, go ahead and explain.

@Dr. Lex Winter tell you what I wouldn't do if someone pushed me onto concrete and I had no serious damage. I wouldn't jump up like a cowardly psycho and kill someone with a loaded gun.

If the black guy didn't blindside Michael Drejka, he would be alive today. FACT!

You really believe these cops dont realize what hes doing by favoring his arm like that? Lol theyve seen it all

The guy pushed him from behind.     For talking to his Baby mama. .

@ian mcavoy he needs fluids and lots of rest to help prevent the bruising from worsening. And no handcuffs, they could disrupt the blood flow

@vaneast411 Did you watch him take that hard shove and fall directly onto his arm without breaking his fall? Yeah... It's not acting. That guy really assaulted him. He really hurt his arm.

snaz27 same here actually, ive broken both within the last 6 months, i was laughing and joking too, it just hurt on the car ride there, any bump got amplified

@sugo - That's not true actually, I broke my arm when I was 18 and didn't feel a thing. I was at work at the time and a colleague rushed me to the hospital, I was telling them to slow down because I wasn't going to die FFS! Lol... While there the nurse took off my shirt and said "you're long", I replied "that's what they all say", she went bright red! Lol I'm 6'4 and so long arms obviously...

Any way I was convinced I had dislocated my shoulder. They gave me an x-ray and after that was done came back in and said I wouldn't make a very good doctor, because it was broken! XD

All that time I felt no pain and was laughing and joking. I was in shock though most likely.

@vaneast411 Yeah also him as a kid learned from someone if he does anything wrong put it on his own pain for the sympathy and changing subject. Kids acts like that usually.

if he truly broke his arm he would be crying in pain, broken bones hurt with the slightest movements

That wasn't even much of a push. A normal guy would lose and then catch his balance. So much for his self-defense reaction. The guy was so intent on yelling at the woman that he allowed someone to blindside shove him.

@Dr. Lex Winter .I can't wait to see how the media spins this race war when it goes off soon.kinda like all the other Polls I suppose...LOL

@Phil Mycrackin .Thank you Phil for noticing. It's very kind of you.Well, I'm off to see the Wizard.

Dude got freed @ last - freed @ last.. Freed from this Insane asylum where diversity is our strength

So if he broke his arm he is not allowed to complain  about it?

@BEAUTYnIQ It doesn't matter if he pushed him, using a gun on someone is always the most extreme option you can take in any situation. He could have used the gun to get him to back off, get himself on his feet, and leave, but instead he pulls the trigger, even as the guy is backing off. Self-defense stops being self-defense once the person you feel endangered by is no longer a threat.

He wasn't just pointing out she was in a handicapped spot, he was apparently angrily confronting her and screaming at her at the top of his lungs, and you can see this from the gesticulating in the footage, so her boyfriend probably assumed he was a threat to her and pushed him to get him to back off. No, he shouldn't have pushed him, but he was all too eager to use that gun, even after the pusher backed off. And the shooter should have just reported them to the store, because no, whether or not someone is in a handicapped spot is not his business and if he thinks someone shouldn't be there the easiest avenue is to talk to store management who'll get them towed.

How would you like it if somebody hurt your arm? This man needs medical attention and the case should be postponed until he is at 100%

@Jakub Lizon him saying something about a handicapped space isnt 'harrassment' .. (at all ..!) and no one has any right to get VIOLENT when someone points out youre parked illegally in a handicapped spot .. had the other guy not gotten violent, he'd still be around .. period .

Although I would agree that he shouldn't have shoved him. I prefer using reason first. But there was zero justification for him pulling that trigger. You watched the video I assume, so you know that. No one is going to feel bad for his bruised elbow (and ego clearly) when he shot and killed a man because he felt like it.

@Ismail He was pushed to the ground for harassing someone he really had no business harassing. Call the cops if you must. The point is drawing the gun was more than enough, he had zero reason to pull the trigger. That man is dead. As others have pointed out, it seems pretty clear he is exaggerating his "injury", and is looking for pity when his idiotic actions resulted in someone dying.

Right! He's acting like ohhh poor me, my arm hurts. And as you guys said, it's clearly bullshit and he's completely fine. It's also pretty chilling how he legit doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong and talks to the cops as if he's one of them. This guy is legit dangerous.

Exactly what I was thinking. Disgusting guy.

Exactly what I was thinking. Disgusting guy.

love how he smacks his arm against his body to show how he fell, moves it around all the fucking time, then goes back to acting like he can’t move it

I thought the exact same thing.. such a coward

I thought the exact same thing.. such a coward

He was able to flick his cap onto the table using that arm, amazing how his arm also got better as the interview went along, he forgot to pretend it was injured!!

You see him lean on it so many times and propping himself up using his "injured" arm.  That part really pissed me off too, like a school yard bully who cries the second someone hits them back.

because he is manipulative pretending his arm is hurt


am I the only one here who sometimes just scrub through the JCS videos until I hear commentary?


How to dig your own grave with idiotic statements...


47:20  Protect your family from what a white dude talking about how you shouldn't be parked there ohh yeah that's a valid reason to go and tackle someone to protect your family right imagine


The cadence and tone of the defense attorney is INFURIATING.


Bruh... dude literally pulled the gun out saw him backing up not wanting to piss off a dude with a gun then he just shoots hin like wtf? And thats aftet the fact hes just defending his wife and child from some strange old dude all im their face arround their car


Ya this guy thought he was a cop meathead poor fella that got killed right in front of his family hope his family is doing OK.


Damn this is why if u ain’t got one on you, you don’t put your hands on no one. This world is ruthless


His lack of remorse is likely due to being celebrated and protected by the white power/Nazis in prison while also being surrounded by people who confirm the bias that led him to shoot the victim in the first place, so I'm not sure why I was so shocked when he said it.


“I neutralized the immediate threat🤓🤓🤓🤓”


Bemuses me why people in America are allowed to have firearms legally on their person. A gun makes you a coward in my opinion, if he felt threatened he should have got up and fought with his fists like a real man.

Thats how someone gets killed. "Fighting like a real man" 🤓


Wait now...is he at a parking lot or on the battlefield??


why did the ambulance take 90 minutes to get there wtf thats so long


As soon Drejka entered detectives AZZ I knew no remorse whatsoever, no guilt in his mind, like he will get scott free, well it aint 50s and yeah, CCTV brah.


How many times has this man seen John wick?


Don't push people. Mess around and find out lmao 🤣


Over a fuckin parking spot...he makes me physically ill. His demeanor urkes me


He keeps forgetting about his hurt arm.  When he first started he couldn’t hardly  move it.  During the interview he forgets it’s hurt at times.

@Ryan Rose it's pretty understandable considering that it's a conversation that can rob you of your freedom

It’s not unreasonable to ignore the pain when under interrogation. Adrenaline helps you ignore pain.

@Pepsolman adrenaline works the opposite way.... it’s an immediate physiological defense to pain and shock that wears away over time. so technically, whether the adrenaline was from the incident and/or being interrogated, the pain would’ve <b>worsened</b> the longer he sat there. unless of course lying to the authorities kept fueling his adrenaline 😬

@Pepsolman adrenaline works the opposite way.... it’s an immediate physiological defense to pain and shock that wears away over time. so technically, whether the adrenaline was from the incident and/or being interrogated, the pain would’ve *worsened* the longer he sat there. unless of course lying to the authorities kept fueling his adrenaline 😬

amazing observation! i saw this comment before watching and am glad to know to look out for this

@Haley T I was once interrogated by cops i didn't do anything and i was so scared and pumped with adrenaline for sure. I didn't lie, didn't do anything wrong and yes it was horrible experience ......... Especialy in times of internet and hundred of cases of falsely accused people that ended up in prison for long time. It's no joke iam telling you ........ It mostly depends on person, but i have ptsd to this day from that interrogation, just because iam very emphatic person, who just couldn't believed, that somebody could accused me from harming anybody or commit armed robbery.

@Pepsolman it’s also possible he is a clown with bad acting skills.

@Pepsolman the adrenaline from lying to the cop?? Lmao

Incredible that injuries can heal over time isnt it

It’s possible adrenaline produced from playing through the scenario probably helped him forget about the pain. He may also have been given a pain pill at some point.


The black dude shouldn’t have got violent tbh. Hot temper played a part in his demise. Wrong parts on both sides. Tough to make good decisions in the heat of the moment I’m sure.


Y’all take 19 minutes to get to a dying person


The whole my arm sore set up jus a big sign of his lack of ability to readdd the mfin roommm 😭😭


drejka's problem was that he was attempting to play cop.....
if not him, it may have been someone else....

just imagine for a moment, that if there were a non disabled parking space..........
humanity suffers from a multitude of self inflicted failures.......


Investigator: Do you have any military training?<br>Suspect: Yes Sir, I served on all the CALL OF DUTY games on all platforms and watched Police academy twice.

Investigator: Do you have any military training?
Suspect: Yes Sir, I served on all the CALL OF DUTY games on all platforms and watched Police academy twice.

Only the last Police Academy though. Mission to Moscow.

Lol. Affirmative. 10-4. Over and out. 😆😆

Watched police academy all the way through


What Michael did do to be pushed with that level of aggressiveness? I mean she did park in the handicap area.  If that guy could push a man like this, why can't Michael self-defense?


You were pushed in the back???…. No you were bushed on to your back big difference cowboy honest did he die in jail I need to know blatant disrespect for the life of another man


When he on the ground his arm don't hurt at all.. that's hilarious..


26:40 'just one shot, no reason to go overboard'


At the point he had pulled his gun out and the other dude stepped back and took a more defensive body posture, I can't believe with good heart that the shooter still felt in danger. Even in moments of stress, when the counterpart starts acting defensively and backing up, this immediately registers with all your senses, consciously and unconsciously.

He sure as hell felt in danger, but only because this was a black man that had just hurt him and his ego. The racist undertones are hard to deny, he definitely felt threatened by this powered black man who he believes would kill him. I imagine it'll be a while before society kicks down racial stereotypes, especially with strong black men defending their families.

The guy went out to protect his family. This dummy is lucky that he only got a push instead of a knuckle sandwich!

I agree, he was backing up, thats when you get up, get in your car and leave. Him saying he needed to nuetralize the threat, the threat had been neutralized as soon as he pulled the gun. There was no reason to fire.

@Mondester you 100% don’t know the full story.

@RAF Mag he was harassing his partner, the man should’ve reacted better and probably spoke rather than using violence but when ur seeing ur childs mother in a verbal conflict with a grown man you’re obviously gonna go full protector mode

I say, lucky the guy had a gun to defend himself from the black man, the aggressor.

That black dude did assault him first but he had no right to shoot him like that! He wasn’t in any danger

That’s the most disturbing moment for me.

He 100% thought "i should shoot him before he gets away" cause his ego was bruised and he didn't wanna miss his chance to kill someone for doing it.


that man was NOT a threat to him. yes, he pushed him, but he was not going at him. this idiots ego was bruised, so he shot him


Let’s forget that the idiot is yelling at a lady for parking illegally while he is parked illegally as well. I can somewhat understand why he drew his weapon after being pushed to the ground. However, there was absolutely no reason for him to pull the trigger at that point, and he knew that. Once you pull that trigger in any situation, your life changes forever one way or the other.

Drejka had pulled this shit on like 4 different occasions in just the last 5 years. He retired early because of wear and tear on his body and also because he had a decent inheritance left to him. Unfortunately he had no aim or purpose in his life. He was looking for a situation where he could create a conflict and then shoot someone in self defense, in some bizarre kind of hero fantasy he had. He wanted to be a cop or in the military but wasn't cut out for either. Being some heroic citizen that saves the day was the next best thing for him, only that scenario isn't so common to find yourself in, so he was trying to make one happen. He was a ticking timebomb.


I will never ever understand how bootlickers don't know better then to willingly speak to cops (after killing someone) or give them permission to do anything (like search a car)... like seriously... what are you thinking?

Even if I was 200% innocent I would know better then to do that!


UPDATE: On October 10, 2019, Drejka was sentenced to 20 years in prison with credit of 92 days for time served. He is imprisoned at Lancaster Correctional Institution, near Trenton, Florida, where he was attacked and reportedly wounded by another inmate on February 11, 2020

Drejka was struck repeatedly across the head by another inmate, who used a lock inside a sock as a weapon. He received head wounds which needed stitching back together.

@vaas d the point is no matter who started the fight, an innocent. man is dead for no reason. By 5he way., the victim did not start the fight.

@Frog id like to know if that other inmate felt 'threatened' and 'didnt want to go overboard'

@BlackSeranna This is way too grammatically correct and valid of a point for a YouTube comment.

He wasn't afraid of for his life by his own words just was playing out a script in his  mind. He's Karen with a gun.

@BlackSeranna oh okay. Yeah that makes more sense

@BlackSeranna if that's what he meant, I can agree to that but the comment was vague. At least he's been put away and his life ruined

@Let the No One meme die already I honestly think Frog meant that he should have been given more.  The max was thirty years.  I honestly felt, myself, that Drejka should have been given thirty years on account of how he threatened others with a weapon, and it culminated in him killing someone.  So maybe I am reading what Frog said as being wrong, but I thought Frog wanted more time for Drejka.

@Casey  Not really.  Those kids are going to miss out on their dad taking care and providing for them for their entire lives.  He won't be at their weddings, he won't be coming home to play with them.  The fact that the father lost his life over a parking space and the perpetrator only gets 20 years is an injustice.  Couple that with the fact that Drejka threatened other people with a gun before this, not just once but multiple different people - he is a hazard to be on the street.  This might have been prevented had anyone stopped him to begin with.  But I suppose someone had to lose their life before this loser received time.  The fact is, it was preventable, all of it.  If he didn't agree with the woman parking in the space, he could have said something.  But he lingered, raising it to a shouting match.  Husband comes out, thinks someone is threatening the wife... the victim did what any husband would do, and tried to make the crazy man back off.  Twenty years isn't enough, because those kids will now not have the finances to do better in life, because their father isn't there to provide for them.

Good, fake tough guys get exposed real quick in prison.

@Vincent its not about sadism, its about keeping him away from the public for our safety

@Frog are people not suppose to be punished for murder?

@Frog Please explain what is fucked up about it.

Frog he straight up killed someone that pushed him so hopefully he’ll get karma

How? It wasn't murder in the aspect that he thought he was doing self defense. 20 years is an adequate sentence.

That's so fucked up. The 'justice' system is corrupt.


'I know this store'

Gets caught on the store cameras


He genuinely thought what he was doing right. He shouldn't have start a fight with the lady in the first place. It wasn't his job. But he ended up killing someone without believing he did something wrong. He should have never escalated the situation to the point of needing a gun. The poor kid who lost a father. I hope this man regrets shooting that gun.


I love how everyone is collectively binge watching these videos so despite this video coming out well over a year ago the comments are really recent

im only 2 videos away of watching all of them in just 3 days

@Dustin Bridges  yea i have been seeing a lot of these this week

Me: I'm not that easily influenced!<br>Also me: Adds 3 more JCS videos to queue

Me: I'm not that easily influenced!
Also me: Adds 3 more JCS videos to queue

Considering your comment is only a day old and already has a lot of upvotes, we both are not alone

its all with that damn fake guy video's fault

You got me so good. These videos are addicting

I am definitely one of those people. Watched like 7 videos in the last 3 days haha.

Ikr, I love the fact that everyone got recommended the "pretending to be crazy" video

everyones interested, this and tiny house


Stuff like this is very common in Florida and Texas.  People get kill for stupid reasons. I remember when some dude was killed for a parking spot


Did the car have that invaloid parking permit? IF you park in Inva-park without a permit, something like this will eventually happen, albeit not deadly incident each time necessarily. Also, when do they teach people to ask for lawyer? Oh, they do. Stupid and overaggressive, to the jail, please.<br>"Racial Overtones"? Is that asked in every and each time regardless of the races of the victim and the killer when they are not of same race, all directions?

What a lame defence.... "It's not HD or good colour so the CCtV isn't a good representation of what happened"


you know he was just waiting for an excuse to use that gun 🤣


This guy makes me think of Trevor of GTA


He should have minded his effin business!

Do you mind if I call you Michael? You can call me George. George Michael 😂 I'll show myself out.


I’m a highschool psychology teachers assistant and your channel makes my job 100% easier and effortless haha. Whenever the professor calls sick or anything I just play one of your videos and assign worksheets correlating to your vids. Thank you a ton

@Dr. Phil Good it's free content, no one is obliged to donate.

I’m a substitute, Our jobs as subs is to loosely follow lesson plans and make sure the kids don’t murder eachother. You must be one extremely miserable person if you need to rage over a simple comment, hope everyone is going well at home 🙏🏽

@Brandon Torres Lol you should edit that to "substitute" instead of "sub"... might give the wrong impression ;) lmfao

I’m a full time paramedic. I only work 2 days a week, I choose to be a sub on my days off because it’s fun. So no, I’m not qualified for “fuck all”. I can tolerate banter but that’s disrespect.

Brandon Torres haha thanks for not being offended. Rare commodity on this internet thing.

<del>SARA</del> it was a joke relax. I forgot jokes are not tolerated.

-SARA- it was a joke relax. I forgot jokes are not tolerated.

@PrfctPlyr why are you putting him down?

I don’t really like getting called “mr” so I doubt it tbh. I just have my students call me by name

Bro, you're a highschool psychology teachers assistant, your job is ALREADY 100% easy and effortless lmao! (Just fuckin with ya to get a laugh, I dont actually believe that)

Mr Torres please report to the office.  Mr Torres


I don’t think Drejka could have had a worse lawyer.

@Anthony Valenti because they started it 🤦♀ why would you want me to include something that proves my point and if you really understand the guy was in the wrong for pushing him then you would have known consequences come with that

@DBZ BT4 Gameplay it's funny how you ignore the several times I said the guy was in the wrong for pushing him yet that doesn't warrant shooting him. Learn to read.

Edit: it's even funnier that you are ignoring the fact the guy was harassing the dude's family and had a history of making threats to shoot people before.  Funny how you left all that out.

@Anthony Valenti it's funny how you ignore the fact that all of this would have been avoided if he didn't push the guy

You cannot park illegally on private property.  You can trespass or commit other crimes but the laws of the road do not apply on private property.

Otherwise how could we have racetracks?

Was he in a illegal spot? I couldn’t see

@Brea Devlin are you for real? You're comment is all about the parking spot and how infuriating it is to see someone with out a handicap. So it's ok to shoot someone over it? I don't understand your whining in the comments while the man was shot. That what was infuriating to you? Lol gtfoh

@Lars van Zutphen it was literally self defense he was put on the ground

They were both in the wrong and yeah, when a 1m90 black guy push me to the ground almost breaking my arm, I will defend myself.

@Jeremy Caulk 1 he shouldn't have attacked him 2 he didnt know who started what 3 dude had no idea what might happen next and just tried to defend himself asap

@Jordan Darrell that’s a really broad generalization. There are bad cops, bc they’re people. There are bad ppl like this guy...

The big difference here was someone was illegally using a space intended for someone with a disability. Why? These type only think of themselves and pure laziness. Again, against the law if you do not have a placard or license plate indicating you may park there. The other vehicle involved may have been a inconvenience to some but was not illegal.  Huge difference between the two. Not once has anyone stated how these folks must feel entitled to park illegally because it is convenient for them. I also at every chance I get let people know that it is illegal and she is showing her kids a fine example of what not to do.

@orX a what about the woman that parked in a handicap spot? Coming from a disabled individual I find it infuriating when others that do not  need the spot somehow justify their entitlement to do anyways.  Simple fact when people park in a handicap spot and don't need it is just plain lazy. Ì most definitely say something as well. Not a Karen but if you had a loved one that needs this spot because they have cancer, 😜😜😜

@xc WotRS Love playing the racist card.  Nothing intelligent to add to the discussion just the one liner that is used over and over and  over oh did I mention over again ? When all else fails always keep that card in your pocket and pull it out every chance you can . Please.  Keep it alive. Whether or not racism  plays or doesn't play a factor in the situation,  doesn't matter , by god use it anyway . It never gets old and seems to apply to every situation.  Unbelievable mind numbing. Don't use this line sparingly.  Keep it front and center Again,  even if it doesn't apply keep adding it. Thank you for adding deep intellectual dialog . Keep it up, it helps so much.

@SARAI Dawta of ISRAEL Of course  right you are, that is why he got 20 years obviously because he is white and privileged.

@KA- BOOM!!! he literally says he was justified in pulling out the gun BUT was not justified in shooting

@KA- BOOM!!! he literally says he was justified in pulling out the gun BUT was not justified in shooting

@KA- BOOM!!! Had Michael not had a firearm, he never would've approached the car to begin with. This is evidenced from his history.

But, let's play this out. He accosts the car occupant. The parking offense probably isn't worth getting that worked up over, but sometimes you just gotta vent, OK. Boyfriend/husband comes up and pushes him. Definitely assault, but potentially could've been  reduced in court due to circumstances (was concerned for his partner). Michael instantly draws his weapon. Definitely justified, as conceded by both sides at his trial--blindsided and very easily in fear of bodily harm. Victim sees the gun and instantly backs up. One Mississippi two Mississippi three. Not a long time, but an eternity to see a guy react to your aggressive defense and back up. Unless you never considered the mere threat of a gun could stop anyone and needing to draw equates to always needing to fire. That's where Michael screwed up and a jury of his peers called him out on it.

@KA- BOOM!!! except I'm not what did I lie about

@KA- BOOM!!! except I'm not what did I lie about

@KA- BOOM!!! you're literally lying about lying now lol.  You said if the shooter had a lawyer instead of representing himself. You're not even good at lying.

KA- BOOM!!! Quick thing here. Taking the mans history of brandishing his weapon when there is no threat on his life out of the equation, if you watch the video there IS a second that the man with the gun takes before he shoots. I’d say it’s more like 2. In that time the other guy clearly has his hands up and is backing away.  The father is also far enough away once he’s on the ground to give him plenty of time to pull his gun AND get into a kneeling position. The man shot him in cold blood. Shoved or not. It’s cold blood. Now if you take his history of blatantly waving his gun around as a power play whenever he damn well felt like it into consideration as well, he is very clearly not aware of the responsibility of having a gun. And being shoved, while it can count as assault, especially since he fell over, is not valid as a life threatening situation. This man should be in jail and should not have access to fire arms. He started the altercation, and while he didn’t start the physical aspect of it, he went in looking for a fight and a way to swing his dick around.  The ultimate truth of the matter is that this man is looking for any reason to use his gun. Any. And his mind will create scenarios to make it justified as you can tell when he says the woman was not a threat to himself “anymore”..... from a psychological perspective.

@KA- BOOM!!!
You're right, Drejka didn't have a lawyer...he had two. Three if you count the one who was dismissed from the case early on.
 "The conviction came after 6½ hours of deliberations by the jury of five men and one woman. It was read aloud at 10:41 p.m. Drejka stared straight ahead, standing beside his lawyers. He could face up to 30 years in prison."

It's hard to tell if you're deliberately lying about this case, or if you're genuinely ignorant.

@KA- BOOM!!! you just keep telling yourself that, your comments say otherwise.

@KA- BOOM!!! you just keep telling yourself that, your comments say otherwise.

@KA- BOOM!!! Not from a legal perspective it isn't, that's why the shooter is in jail. You know what I think? I think if the races were reversed in this case, and a white man walked out of a store and saw a black man harrassing his wife and children, and shoved that man, and then got shot to death while retreating, you'd be calling the white guy a hero for protecting his wife and children, and the black guy a violent thug.

@Sleeved Heathen if that person is harrassing your wife and children, then yeah, it may be justified to shove a person away. What's not legal is shooting someone dead just because they shoved you.

@KA- BOOM!!! it was justifiable to pull out the gun, not to fire it.

@KA- BOOM!!! it was justifiable to pull out the gun, not to fire it.

@Grannvale Flame Emperor na he would,he wanted to use that gun

@Grannvale Flame Emperor na he would,he wanted to use that gun

Ikr. He parked illegally next to someone parked illegally to confront them about their illegal parking and then shot someone for pushing him over even though there was no evident threat of serious harm to him or threat to his life after he was pushed.. Did we just witness a male Karen?

@Hybrid Ronin I believe that is precisely the issue. He's a racist person and therefore cannot see the humanity of the black man. If this were two white people in the same scenario I truly doubt he would be in this comment sectionbbeing so defensive of a murderer. People shove, hit and get into physical altercations all the time. Even brothers and sisters get into fist fights. But, normally we don't grab a gun and shoot the person afterwards. If they shove us then we generally shove them back. He understands this but he cannot see the humanity of the African-American man and thus, regardless of whatever, he will find a way to justify the white man's actions. Racism is wrong and murder is wrong. I believe these two facts elude Mr/Mrs. Kaboom.

@KA- BOOM!!! You would never make a great detective. You are assuming intention and many other things. You have no idea what this man's intentions were. And, that he "illegally parked" himself definitely shows his "principles" are subpart at best. Whether he was parking his car to curse her out and then go park again or not he still was chastising someone for doing the very thing that he had just done. That my friend is called: hypocrisy -- no matter how you slice the cake. You seem hell bent on trying to justify this man's actions in some way or another I. You're more concerned with someone parking in a handicap space at a store with multiple parking spots available than someone shooting another person at point blank range simply because they got pushed to the ground. Yes, it was assault. Yes, the boyfriend should not have come out and pushed him. But, we are never justified in fighting pushes with bullets.

You strike first, be prepared to go down!

You strike first, be prepared to go down!

KA- BOOM!!! He was not facing an immediate threat to his life by being pushed down lol. This guy 100% looked for yet another opportunity to abuse his second amendment right after he had a history of threatening women and children with his firearm in the past. Should have been taken away from him a long time ago. Idc what the other people in the handicap spot were doing, they were not trying to take his life, he felt safe going after those people because he had a gun and wasn’t afraid to use and abuse it. Period.

Lars van Zutphen yes! I’m thinking maybe he saw it as his chance to shoot a black man since he initiated the physical altercation. He had no right to pull his gun and kill a man over getting pushed! This pisses me off

@KA- BOOM!!! meanwhile, in reality, more Americans have renounced their citizenship this year than any prior year. The Americans who CAN get away are. God bless America.

@KA- BOOM!!! Yes I am. I never said i was different. I don't drink because it makes it a problem for me so you are right. Doesn't mean my reasoning is wrong, it just means i am flawed in the same way.

@KA- BOOM!!!  @KA- BOOM!!!  again both are in the wrong but Markeis DIDN'T SHOOT ANYONE. Any rational person should expect more restraint from a person holding a weapon that can end a life in an instant. Again, you seem to be not able to understand the difference in consequences between pushing someone and shooting someone.  Also, unless you have a death wish, if someone pulls a gun on you, you stop messing with them. I can't think of any situation where any half functioning human being would continue an assault on someone who just pulled out a gun.

And also now you're just making shit up. Drejka had 2 lawyers and Markeis did not punch him. Did you even watch the video? You've resorted to lying at this point lol. Listen, we all know why you really think Drejka was justified in shooting Markeis; you can stop pretending now...

He had 2 lawyers actually lol. "Drejka was represented by criminal defense attorneys John Trevena and Bryant Camareno." -wiki.

He had 2 lawyers actually lol. "Drejka was represented by criminal defense attorneys John Trevena and Bryant Camareno." -wiki.

@KA- BOOM!!!  and of course he was justified; that's why he was found innoce... oh wait..... he was charged with manslaughter and got 20 years.... huh.

@KA- BOOM!!! great bodily harm? He was fine, other than a scuff on his arm as he said in the interrogation. Markeis is DEAD.  No longer among the living.

@KA- BOOM!!! couldn't tell? Yeah maybe he should have took a split second to check before killing him. Or maybe brandish the weapon, make it known he'd shoot if Markeis continued the assault and then make a judgment call on whether he is still a threat? 99.9999% of times, just showing the gun is enough.

@KA- BOOM!!! Shooting someone for shoving you is not justified. ( for some reason you think you can just shoot people for a shove, weird flex but ok).

@KA- BOOM!!! Shooting someone for shoving you is not justified. ( for some reason you think you can just shoot people for a shove, weird flex but ok).

@KA- BOOM!!! first off, I said he was in the wrong for shoving the guy, but he didn't deserve to be shot for it. 2nd, pulling it out was one thing, i would even understand brandishing it, but firing after the man backed away and not even giving so much as a warning is unacceptable. 3rd, let's take your same stupid logic and apply it to Markeis: he sees a man screaming at his wife and children. He gets a burst of adrenaline and can only think that his wife and children are in danger. So he pushes the aggressor. Why is that an excuse for the shooter and not Markeis? What about the shooting is justified in your eyes but not the shove? I don't believe either was in the right but clearly the man who takes another's life is worse. So what the hell is your justification?

@KA- BOOM!!! then he shouldn't have a gun if he doesn't have the mental faculties to handle a gun responsibly. The guy murdered someone over a shove. He deserved to be put in prison. If you honestly think he's justified in murdering someone,  you need to take a step back and examine why you would come to that conclusion. What in your head could possibly allow you to take this side?

Pulling out the pistol was justified use of force, shooting after he stepped back was the issue that was looked at in court.

@GorillionDollarExtreme the father was in the wrong but that doesn't mean he should have been shot. And if you really would do the same and shoot someone over a shove, you should get 20 years too.

those of you defending the father's actions must have not watched the surveillance video, it's an obvious assault, I'd have done the same
