The worst thing here is the cops having to act like his Madness is Sadness tattoo is cool

@patrick gorski it made perfect sense on first read... what do you need help understanding?

@alqaadi yesss it’s literally called the “Ego-Up technique” bahahha how ridiculous is that 😅

I’m not saying your mother tongue isn’t English, nor that you didn’t communicate perfectly clearly, I was solely throwing that out as a general consensus btw I totally agree with your sentiment lawl!

I think it’s part of their training; make the suspect sooo comfortable in the hopes they might get something out of his mouth.<br>Imagine if they were rude from the very start causing him to fully shut himself down, saying only “i need a lawyer”.

@Yoyoma I get you, it's just the way you phrased it that bothered me.

@RealExony “Now I wasn’t talking about the actual incident of the shooting”

"worst thing here"? Careful with your phrasing mate, a human being died "here".

Me through gritted teeth: “wow sweet ink”

That wasn't just his tattoo, it was his autobiography.

That tat was pretty cool and really clever tbh


Why did they swab his DNA? What good does that do?

1. Matching DNA from the crime scene and from the weapon fired.<br>2. For future reference if he ever commits a crime if he was let go due to a technicality or mistrial or on appeal or any of the other thousand loopholes in the American justice system.

I love how JCS's videos just end with the final facts of the case. It's tempting to implore others to "Like and Subscribe" and "Hit the Bell", etc. but ending videos this way seems much more professional and leaves you with a better impression at the end.


Wow. I would have never expected that (the verdict). Sad. Your ability to positively assess a situation like this while you’re in it is impossible, same w/ recounting it afterwards. He really goes to jail for what he did… scary. Are we supposed to wait till after we received the second blow before we self defend and are we supposed to have abilities not possible for a human to possess in regards to positively access a situation while we are in it

He shot an unarmed person....there was ZERO evidence of HIS life EVER being in danger bud.


It's sickening how ready he was to take someone's life over the dumbest shit. I mean it's really disgusting. The man was not armed, and he stepped away when he saw the gun. There was no justification for shooting him at that point. I just don't understand how people do it. They must be wired completely different than me. This guy is what's wrong with America

@murderbits Everyone saw the video. The victim pushed him (aware from the car containing his wife and kid) before backing away. No one was "baring down on him." 24:12 the officer even says as much.

You literally sound as hysterical as the P.O.S shooter. What kills me is how you seem to think you're coming across as nuanced and it reeks of enlightened centrist who's proudly neutral on whether or not someone should have died over a parking spot. This psuedo intellectualism is more frustrating to me than trolls or out and out racists.

@avi the issue is a father come out and saw the mother of his child being harassed. Sounds like a case of little body white not knowing how to fight

@Cheong-San The Baddest he didn't start a fight though. He was talking to her, and her partner attacked him from behind

@Brandon Driver I'm referring to the unnecessary altercation that HE himself created. Oh, so HE'S scared, after starting a fight with someone (with the knowledge that he was carrying) luckily for him, someone pushed him, so it was his time to murder them! The opportunity he's been waiting for his whole life. Yeah, it's fucking dumb

How is being scared after someone attacks you "the dumbest shit"

@Cheong-San The Baddest Oh damn, that's the worst kind of coward huh.

@Death2Boredom  The person I was responding to (kit fisto) deleted their first 2 comments, which said something like, "The black man was unable to think rationally because he is an impulsive buffoon, not surprising because of his skin color".  So what he said was very racist, I responded to that. I don't think any of them were right in this situation

Well I am not making a comparison but this logic also holds true for Markeis as well . There was absolutely no reason to physically assault a person when all he was doing was having a verbal altercation . Lets remember that if anger can make you violent enough to hit a person then anger can also have an effect on the other party as well and you never know the degree of that effect .

Let me be clear, the overwhelming majority of Europeans are just disgusted with the american gun culture!<br>And I mean disgusted to the core of our beings. Nowadays you have more racist Nazis over there than Germany ever had and it is popular with about half of your population. It makes me happy, that in this case the perpetrator got 20 years in prison and hopefully he will get into more trouble there so he will never get back on the streets, because he does not belong there. He did this in cold blood in front of the family of the victim. He shot the father and protector of those kids in front of their eyes. Yes, the victim pushed him to the ground, but he was harassing his wife and kids and that is what protective men do, if they perceive you as a thread to their family. If the victim family would have been white and the shooter would have been black, he would have gotten life without parole! That is what is so fundamentally wrong with America. I just hate that culture so much, that I will never visit that country in my lifetime...

Bruh handicap spot or not, you approach my vehicle, or my significant other’s vehicle, in a confrontational manner like that and start shouting in her face, that shove to the ground is the minimum that’s justified dude. If you can’t see that than you can’t be helped

America?

it's "The WORLD Chico... and everything in it"

@Andrew Francis Especially when he was the one who provoked the entire incident. If he had minded his own business in the first place, none of this would have happened.

@ShockanPlays i didnt say that dont talk to me if your gonna say stupid stuff like that

@RunTheFade  so you would've shot a person dead because they shoved you to the ground and you got angry? If you can't control yourself when you get angry you shouldn't own a gun.

@Cheong-San The Baddest you dont why he shot him, personally i would’ve been very angry if someone pushed me to the ground and stood over me. on the other hand i wouldnt argue with a female over a parking spot thats why its so hard to understand what hes thinking. he seems to be trying to get revenge for being pushed and shooting just because he has the shot, hes wrong. but i understand why hes angry.

@kit fisto he may be black but I hate to break it to you black people are human beings so him pushing was a human response but I love your racism

@Cheong-San The Baddest Or you know, they were both in the wrong? Take race out of it for a second. One of them is definitely more in the wrong and a horrible person but there were two in this ugly dance. You don't put your hands on someone else at the least because you don't know how they'll react or what they'll do. It doesn't have to be a gun right in the moment, people can seek vengeance for what you thought was the smallest of transgressions.

I regret that I can only hit the like button once and not more times. This guy IS what’s wrong with America.

@Content Ganja good thing the shooter got arrested before endangering another human*

@kit fisto agree, good thing that impulsive buffoon got put down before endangering another human

@kit fisto Thank you for admitting that he wasn't justified in shooting him. You could have just said that without adding the ridiculously unnecessary racism, but okay. Have a great day

@kit fisto >black guy was impulsive for shoving man violently arguing with his wife
>white guy pulls out gun over impulse decision from being pushed
hm

@kit fisto

Edit: The guy I responded to deleted his racist comments! I wasn't ranting over nothing lmao. Don't come for me!!!

Shut up dude. This guy, knowing he was armed and looking for trouble, instigated a fight over a parking spot, and then pulled out his gun at the first instance he possibly could and murdered someone on the spot. But somehow, the black guy is the 'impulsive buffoon' in the situation? That guy got 20 years in jail for what he did, because his actions were not justified. You are blatantly ignorant and racist, and you choose to ignore the reality that the color of your skin does not determine your choices. I am African American by the way, and I have never gotten into a physical altercation in my life. I can hardly fathom the idea of physically assaulting someone, let alone murdering them. It is not in my genes to do anything other than be human. You comment was really unnecessary

Exactly, it seems that he shot him as a sort of revenge for being pushed instead of defending himself. How entitled do you have to be to shoot someone for pissing you off


I guess you should think twice who you push in america


There’s something ethereally beautiful about just minding your own damn business..

Yes but also maybe don't park in a handicapped spot. Also don't shove someone if they are just arguing. I'm not saying he isn't guilty, but verbal assault doesn't justify physical assault.

literally! bro is a top of the line buster.

I mean. Tell that to the weirdos that aporoach me.

I was tempted to argue this point, but I will follow your advice ;p


This guy has created so many scenarios in his head before this incident. He wanted something like this to happen to justify killing someone to "defend" himself.

facts, he was literally feening for this moment, he couldn’t wait lol.

@Sean Winters Yeah, but while a lot of guys fantasize about being a hero. Not quite as many carry a gun, research exactly what they can get away with and walk around hoping they'll get attacked so they can use it. This is the type of guy who practices 'clearing' his house

He creamed his pants when this happened I swear

@Sean Winters Not fantasize about rapists, murderers, or home intruders in the first place.

@Sean Winters exactly, even in Michaels own words, he would have no reason to shoot him if he backed up or was stationary. I’m not defending Michael, but I think the man who shoved him over took a very stupid decision and isn’t blameless for what happened. Even though he didn’t deserve it, there’s tapped people out there and I really don’t understand that way of approaching situations.

So many (all) trump supporters with guns are like this waiting for any opportunity as an excuse to use their gun

If you dont visualize, you won't win.

I wouldn't have shot the guy. But that doesn't change the fact that visualization is a valid tactic in self defense.

@Mottbox That's pure ignorance. It's obvious what he did and why he did it. You people tryin to argue his life was in danger are absolutely delusional..

@Sean Winters Fantasize? Hell no I've never fantasized about killing anyone. Maybe you should look up the definition of that word -- "indulge in daydreaming about something desired". Maybe everyone has <b>thought</b> about such a situation but it is obvious from his background and prior incidents that he actively desired such a case. No one like that should have access to a firearm, and should probably seek therapy as well.

Maybe that is true, but push any stranger onto the ground in public and you should know you just created the chance you may be dead in the next few seconds. That's just life. Don't be stupid people.  Buddy didn't need to shoot him, but get physical with anyone, you just increased your probability of dieing. When you have kids, you dont do that.

I think besides that he was just looking for a situation like this. I agree. Not only he wanted a situation like this to happen he was looking for it

To be fair, I've never met a guy who doesn't have these fantasies, they just never accelerate these scenarios. That's the difference. Why make a situation more hostile than necessary


I’m not over how a father was killed because of a ‘pet peeve’ and the murderer doesn’t think he didn’t anything wrong

@Jenna Mattern All the veterans I know that have issues aren't from killing but the situations surrounding it. Like I know people messed up from watching "their guys" get chewed up by AKs but not be allowed to help because the shots are coming from a school house or not from killing 10+ people over 9 months but the 1 kid that got ran over during an ambush.

@donny trumpster 😂😂😂 bro you’re so triggered. He murdered someone, was found guilty, and given 20 years, in one of the most trigger happy backwards states too. Sorry you lose 🤓

Even if it was justified how does he not feel sick knowing he killed someone? Soldiers kill people in war and years later still feel guilty so why isn't he sad?

"..but as far events that could change, i cant think of any. No."


What's really crazy is he doesn't see that he did something wrong.

@Michael if your reaction time is as slow as taking 2.5 seconds to shoot, you shouldn't bear a firearm. that was no "heat of the moment" and stop with the bullshit "you dont know what you would have done in that situation" argument.

@Sxiller <br>He never surrendered, he stepped by one foot. In most cases, the attacker will run at the guy with the gun anyways. The threat wasn’t eliminated. I guess it’s easy for you to make such a life threatening decision on your armchair as for me, but you don’t know what you would’ve done if you were attacked in that position.

@Michael The only one who fought back was the white man and that was after the black man had already surrendered and shot him straight for the heart , not even in the leg He went straight for the kill . There is no buts.

@Sxiller <br>Dc. He fought back. Gg. Major W to wyte gang

@Sxiller
Dc. He fought back. Gg. Major W to wyte gang

@Michael he was attacked, yes. But this wasn't self defense at all. A warning would have sufficed, and it did suffice as the guy was already backing up. No need to shoot.

I swear, these people will attack and claim they’re innocent and they wonder why no one else likes them 🤦♂

@LordBattleSmurf I hope you don’t own a firearm let me break it down for you. You cannot kill someone because they put hands on you, if your life is in danger then you can do what ever it takes to stop the attacker. But physical harm does not relate to life endangerment.

@No Homo I see your point, but you can't expect everyone to act the way you would. People react to high tension situations differently and some are more protective than others. You can make the argument that shoving the guy harassing your wife was excessive, but we can both agree he didn't deserve to lose his life over some idiot trying to be a tough guy because he had a gun.

@SOAPANDISHESFORSALE LEBANONCANADA I think he understood what happened was bad and negative but I don’t think he believes he was wrong or what he did was wrong. But I do agree with you that he thought he’d get away with it due to his limited understanding of the laws. I think he believed he was within the law to shoot someone in that situation without receiving time.

No he obviously knows he did something wrong, but his limited understanding of the law allows him to believe he might get away with murder.

@LordBattleSmurf yes he did. He kind of killed a man in cold blood.

@LordBattleSmurf according to his sentence I'd beg to differ.

He really did go bop bop with the gun lol


I love how he forgot his wrist was suppose to be hurt at several points.

@luis I self-edited out a couple of worse terms than "wimp" from my original post, one of which was the term you just suggested. ;)

@Mariah _ Marzades Don't underestimate my wimpiness, the actual level of damage has nothing to do with my reaction to it. ;)

@c99kfm then you’re not that hurt. Obviously not enough to make a makeshift sling out of your shirt 🤨

That's me when I'm actually in (slight) pain, I'm a wimp about the pain until I forget all about it because I get into whatever I'm doing, then I feel a twinge and start wimping out again.

I was like DUDE, YOU'RE FORGETTING HOW TO ACT


"Not opinion. It's training."<br>Says the retired tree-trimmer to the sheriff.

"Not opinion. It's training."
Says the retired tree-trimmer to the sheriff.

And Abbot thinks people don’t need training to handle a fire Arm. Lol.

not like sheriffs get that much training regardless LOL

Training videos are also available on this platform bud😂

Guy threatened people with a gun in four other incidents. Only training he ever got was on Xbox.

@Jason Cardwell Yah, Marine here too.  Our ROEs are much more strict, even more so than civilian law enforcement.  I cringe when I see Police handle a firearm.  But even Florida laws you can only use lethal force in self-defense to prevent "grievous bodily harm or death" and being shoved to the ground does not meet that standard.

Im a marine and he has no idea about escalation of force.. Once he drew his weapon he should have yelled get back if he kept coming then he could have shot in self defense and in the state of Georgia I dont know about florida because I know they have "stand your ground" but self defense is below the waist.


“I should have called a lawyer” is definitely the right title for all of these videos

why are you copying comments for likes ? get a life

Right? Like I dunno (I‘ve never dealt with police in that kind of way before) but for me in this kind of situation to call a lawyer and keep my mouth shut would be the first thing to do.

My thought exactly,  that is the lesson that i could take from all these videos... just lawyer up when dealing with the police.

For fuckin real dude I don’t understand why everyone thinks they can handle these interrogations

Ironically “Jeff” was the only one who played his interrogation correctly

A "good guy with a gun" doesn't need a lawyer, he's oooobviously the hero in this story so he'll be tucked in bed, fast asleep by the end night, right? 😆

@Scott Kirby the little montage at the end of that vid 🤧 hit different

most...I don't think any lawyer could have helped War Machine. Which is still my favorite JCS video. But your point most certainly stands with the majority. <br>(and now I have I've got a brand new pair of roller skates stuck in my head again)

(and now I have I've got a brand new pair of roller skates stuck in my head again)


The fact that people will talk to the police after *shooting someone*, without a lawyer present is bonkers to me.

I'm glad they don't. That just gives us another great murder interrogation to analyze, chat about and rewatch. lol

I could be out of the country when a crime happened with a bounty of camera footage to prove it and I’d still ask for a lawyer.

Yeah but this guy actually thinks he's like a cop. It permeates everything he does and the way he talks.

When my dad shot my uncle (my dad was afraid my uncle was going to hurt us kids at the time [there's a long complicated history between those two that I don't want to get into]), point is, when my dad shot him, he went out to the front yard, sat down and waited for the cops. He admitted everything and cooperated entirely. He also felt really guilty about it despite the fact that it could have been considered justifiable. (Uncle also lived, I don't want to know what my dad would be like if he'd actually killed him).

Only a fool make any kind of statement without a lawyer present!

Every one needs a lawyer, even lawyers have their own lawyers

You've probably heard this before but narcissists don't think they need any help and are absolutely right in everything they do. It says a lot about his character that he threatened others with a gun.

The fact that people will shoot someone is bonkers to me.


The fact that he thought it was a justified shooting is kind of scary..like, he's been carrying a gun for years and he felt if he got pushed he should shoot right away.

@Bryant Sims If that's the moral of the story, than that seems to suggest it's justified to shoot him...

@Lil Asthma Pump Yes. Again, don't put your hands on people. It's that simple. You can not be sure if the person you shove will defend with the same amount of force or excessive force.

@Lil Asthma Pump moral of the story being, Don't put your hands on other people and you won't have to worry about being shot.

He should have just pulled his weapon, not fired it. Just the presence should have “deescalated” the altercation especially considering it appears the boyfriend was backing up. It never should have reached this point in the first place but...people be weird

@Geek Freak You can't carry a Glock with the saftey off because Glocks have no external safety. As long as nothing is inside the trigger guard a Glock will never go off.

That mans been wanting to use that gun to kill someone his whole life.  Was just waiting for the perfect "self defense" situation

@Aiea Slippers Ah yes, let's blame the victim.

@Corey Ray He wasn't physically attacking anyone. He was being an asshole for sure and most definitely shouldn't have just shot the guy, but the guy just walked up and shoved him without even asking what was going on first. If you wanna fight the guy after that, go ahead, but you never know who you're dealing with. He could have tried to make the guy leave by getting in his face and telling him to fuck off before taking it to violence.

@SlitWristMisfit irl livestreaming was a mistake

G4H BARRETT eh not really man. Even if he actually legitimately feared for his life...did you not see once he saw the gun he backed off? There was a pause before he shot and you can clearly see the man backing up a few steps before the shot came out. Nothing justified about it

@ILikeKnafs No, that's not how it works...

Korey Paul I can see how it’s justified , pushing someone to the concrete like that could easily kill you

Alysha Jenkinson have a box that says, “How much do you know about guns?” And if you check “I’m an expert,” then you can’t legally sell them the gun lol too cocky

Bro, and with all the advancement we’ll have made by the time he gets out, he’ll be even more dangerous. Good thing ex-cons don’t have the right to carry.

Moderndaydrifter92 this is a different scenario. That was his wife and kids that were being harassed. I’d do the same thing without thought if my family was being attacked.

Moderndaydrifter92 no shit sherlock dude hit the floor damn hard but to pull out a gun and start shooting? That’s not enough to take another human life especially infront of his wife and kids

Can we talk about the fact the guy walks out of the store, shoves someone so hard they hit the asphalt, without any degree of humanity or what most people would do and ask what's going on and tell the guy he's a pretentious fuck. Dude could have cracked his skull, had underlying health conditions, this could have been manslaughter the opposite direction easily. He shouldn't have shot him and his death is sad for damn sure, I hope his kids get counseling.

Anton Chigurh asshike😂😂😂and you aren’t wrong it all just depends on the state law. Here in California is very liberal and strict which is why people like to say commiefornia.

He could’ve atleast simply pointed it yes he was pushed / assualted but to point and shoot an unarmed man with his wife and children adjacent to him was just simply wrong. Disgusting this guy even thought he was justified in shooting.

sure though what's scarier is that so many people like this exist and they all own chl (ccw) and a firearm and have absolutely no clue about force on force interaction or the laws surrounding justifiable force.

@Aiea Slippers correct one should also learn justifiable force on force interactions and not carry a firearm otherwise :)

@Geek Freak Your point is spot on and very scary. So you park illegally and approach someone parked illegally, packing a gun just in case you don't get your point across without backlash. Scary.

@Korey Paul The man with the gun was the one that started it, though. It looked like he may have hurt the woman if nobody intervened. Or at least that would be a reasonable conclusion to come to. Not really self defense if you start and escalate the conflict to something lethal or likely to cause (serious and not exaggerated) injury.

Agreed. He decided that he would respond to any altercation with immediate lethal force when he packed it on him. Loaded, in a easily accessible holster, and possibly with the safety off, i might add. Walking through a unfamiliar neighborhood at night, in a high crime area. Then I can understand why you might want a gun. But quickly dropping in at a store he goes to everyday that is right near a main road, near his car, in broad daylight? That's just paranoid. If he goes around harassing a woman in such a aggressive way, it is inevitable that someone might stand up to him, and shove him away. Everything he did was escalating the situation, and he made no effort to find a non-lethal solution. I hope he won't go wandering around freely, pretending to be a cowboy for some time.

@Aiea Slippers Very true..I'm sure the man that pushed him liked his chances if their were no gun involved..People should assume the other person is crazy and will shoot. Need to avoid altercations.

One should not start a physical altercation and think the other won't escalate.

@Intrspace noooooooooo no no no no. believe me it is not. i'm saying this for your own benefit. PLEASE get a lawyer if you are interrogated for a crime.

@Vadim VeeVoit im not arguing if they do or they dont. Im saying you should always speak to a lawyer first. The reality is people get falsely accused or other avoidable complications can occur. The system isnt perfect, and humans are flawed. It is a valid precaution and a right to speak to a lawyer.

@Vadim VeeVoit Innocent people lawyer up every day. Its innocent until proven guilty, not tell us you're innocent and we'll leave you alone. Even if you're innocent you can still be falsely imprisoned.

yea cause he was falsely convinced by himself that he was innocent.

yea cause he was falsely convinced by himself that he was innocent.

He really believed the cops were on his side, and initially they were. Public pressure forced this into court, thank goodness

@Intrspace no, some inocent people fall in this police tactics and "confess" to shit they do not do just to have some relive from the pressure and tension of the room (if u notice even the roms are small and the suspect its put against the wall just for that purpose).

Most people feel theyre less likely to be found guilty if they arent getting a lawyer. In the back of your mind you think that if you ask for a lawyer you seem guilty from the beginning

@xebek So, I couldn't find Rick's first video, because it's no longer available on youtube - I don't know why. YT probably took it down and Rick doesn't even know that.
This is the second part, when he's commenting on the comments on that video.
But fear not! Ever since his other channel got deleted without "due process" (wasn't a single strike on that channel) - I'm copying every video he puts up on my hard drive. So I'll upload it to bitchute and post a link.
For now search for the "Florida Stand Your Ground Video Discussed & Review Law & Slow Motion Video".
I'll put up a link in my next comment, but it might be get scrubbed.

@xebek "Totality of circumstances".
At this point let's just agree to disagree and move on.
That's why when you did nothing wrong you choose a judge instead of a jury.

@Kangoshi I do understand how cops sometimes react, however:

1) This guy is not a cop. Not all cop killings are justified and this particular civilian's shooting was objectively not justified.
2) Your rationalizations are full of hypotheticals and logical fallacies.
3) Why not present your BEST piece of evidence ("what ifs" and "this is what cops do in some scenarios" aren't substitutes for actual points of data)? Can you demonstrate the shooter perceived more than one assailant or that the one known assailant was advancing on him?
4) Yes or No, was this shooting justified and what standards of evidence did you use to arrive at that conclusion?
5) If standards for lethal force are this low, does this apply to anyone who's been pushed? What about a punch? Bar-fight? Is this the precedent you want to set?

@Mikayla H He made a decision to shoot as soon as he landed on the ground. And when you make that decision - it's almost impossible to reverse it. He didn't even see the dude took 3 steps back - that's how terrified he was.<br>But sure, it's easy to judge looking at your screen. Watch actual cops - they can tell everything about it. And I don't mean ASP.

One of tge few situations talking to them directly may be a better play.

Kangoshi what surveillance video did you see because like the narrator even pointed out once a gun was drawn, the man backed away which signaled in body language that he’s not wanting to escalate anymore and not be a threat, even with hands up like as if he’s a cop. Then after backing up with his hands which showed there was not a threat any longer, he still proceeded to pause a moment and shoot him in the chest. That’s innocent, then heelllllll the whole system of people convicted of domestic violence, abuse, or even murder should be let out, cause they probably didn’t have the witnesses, self-admittance, and VIDEO to prove it. 🤷🏻♀

Corrine Vermette holy shit I went to amazon and looked and apparently the Nelson Mandela wrote one too

@Kangoshi  fuck the left, and I don't know you so I don't really think you're racist, but theres no fucking way you can genuinely believe this dude to be innocent lol

@xebek Too much to "paraphrase". Trained police kill people with lesser justification and they're fine; when you decided to pull the trigger - it's almost impossible to reverse that decision in the next seconds; you don't give statements after an incident because they'll catch you lying, because in your mind you can see things different, like ask 10 witnesses what happened and you'll get 10 different stories; he didn't know if there was another attackers and he had a gun - they could've take it from him and kill him even though they wasn't armed, and there are videos of that, including when a suspect throw a brick at a police officer, took his firearm and killed him; etc.<br>You need to watch many of Rick's videos to understand all of this and more.

@D Po Dead serious. And I'm straight white male, so I'm a racist by default. Or so left tells me every day.

@Biohazard 001 it shouldn't, that's why we're watching lol

@Biohazard 001 it shouldn't, that's why we're watching lol

Intrspace Every single person should refuse to speak to a police officer without a lawyer. No matter what, period. There’s a reason you have that right, exercise it. These cops are not your friend, guilty or innocent.

@Abraham Johnathan just curious, I take it you're referring to tiktok?

@Abraham Johnathan just curious, I take it you're referring to tiktok?

Mike Jones 1 in 4 or 25% of people that Project Innocence, who had DNA evidence to help prove their innocence were convicted because they didn’t invoke the 5th amendment.

@Kangoshi Just paraphrase Rick's most succinct piece of data that would exonerate this guy. Also, why hasn't Rick sent his datum to his council to instantiate an appeal?

It shocks me that so many of these interviews are made without lawyers!!!

It shocks me that so many of these interviews are made without lawyers!!!

walter kersting Actually no. The prosecution’s job is a lot harder than the defense’s because you’re presumed innocent.

@xebek Watch Rick's Gore initial analysis of the shooting. GoodLuckAmerica is his channel.

@xebek Watch Rick's Gore initial analysis of the shooting. GoodLuckAmerica is his channel.

Intrspace Talking to a lawyer is the most important thing if you are innocent. What matters is how 8 to 12 people think about you, and the cops are trained to get you to trip up and accidentally lie. If you’re guilty as hell, it doesn’t matter. If you are innocent you NEED a lawyer.

@Kangoshi The surveillance video, witness accounts and the killer's OWN account disagree with your summation. He is decidedly guilty. You can blame his legal council or anything else, but objective reality demonstrates otherwise. Just curious, what mechanism can we use to delineate your beliefs from delusions? Surely you care whether or not your beliefs comport with reality, right? Can you meet your burden of proof and exonerate him? I guess it's more comfortable for you to accept a grand conspiracy to divide and control the populace (which I'm not saying isn't happening at some levels), which this case somehow plays into, than to accept that this guy is demonstrably guilty as charged. Anyway, do share your independently verified, falsifiable and peer-reviewed evidence for "innocence" as well as your methodology for distinguishing fact from fantasy.

@Intrspace Nope. An attorney's job is to provide roadblocks for the prosecution to prove that somebody committed a crime, so that we are sure beyond a reasonable doubt that they did it. No problem with an innocent person using that right that is afforded to them to strengthen the argument of the defense.

Yet another example on why you don't talk to the police without a lawyer. Especially when you're innocent. And this man is innocent. More than that - he is the victim. And his lawyer did a bad job. And that's why more and more people are minding their own business and chose not to get involve. And our world and humanity goes to shit. "Divide and conquer."

Everybody understands their rights... but you’d be shocked at how many people think NOT talking makes you look guilty lol

He does not believe he did anything wrong. This was a big case.

He does not believe he did anything wrong. This was a big case.

@Intrspace ....ever heard of Rubin "the Hurricane" Carter? He to used to think that only the guilty needed lawyers too. Until he was convicted of a murder he never committed. He served 20 years in prison. You need to read his book The 16th Round.

@Хэтчбек умереть I honestly hate arguments like "Oh if you're innocent you have nothing to hide" and shit like that. its so ignorant and foolish

@09Drdray glad I'm not the only one who pointed this out lol

@09Drdray glad I'm not the only one who pointed this out lol

Хэтчбек умереть

@Intrspace No not at all. Innocent people have gone to jail before and will go to jail again. People can legit be framed. People can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. People can be misunderstood and face extremely harsh penalties despite reasonable mitigating circumstances if they don't know how to prove them. Pro tip: Never consent to a field sobriety test even if you are sober. Many sober people fail them and are taken into custody. Always always do a breathalyzer if you are sober. A sobriety test does not prove you are sober, it can only give reason to believe you are under the influence. Similar concept to pleading the 5th and seeking lawyer.

Хэтчбек умереть

@Intrspace Wrong. Innocent people can often say things to incriminate themselves for no reason. Always talk to a lawyer

Talking to a lawyer is only important if you're guilty

Talking to a lawyer is only important if you're guilty

Alex Carter amazing how many people do not understand the power of the rights they have, especially the 5th


The detective, George, was recently arrested for showing up to a crime scene drunk. Doesn’t add anything to the story, just thought it was interesting. Also, this Michael guy is delusional, glad he is serving time.

@BrandonLA1983 You know, I 100% believe that

Also the defendant's lawyer was arrested for a DUI. This is so textbook Florida, can't make this shit up

What if he was drinking at home before he got called out? How does that usually work? Are they on a shift, or expected to stay sober on call or something?

He doesn't appear impaired in this interview. In fact the interview is near perfect.

His lawyer’s best argument: video’s not HD.

@nevadie133 he should have not driven while drunk. Pretty simple.

That sucks. He seems like he's good at his job

Sad. No surprise. I hope he beats it because too many do not.

Finley The Golden dude that’s sad! He was off duty and had four drinks, came to the crime scene at 10:30 pm! He should’ve just said he wasn’t able to come or something :/


Michael Drejka was sentenced to imprisonment for 20 years on October 10, 2019 if you were wondering.

@MRDTH Absolutely. He deserves life in prison. You wrongfully take someone else's life (murder) you don't deserve a second lease on life 20 years later. In front of their kids too. Evil!

This was all I was digging through the comments for, thank you!

If someone pushed me like that I would have aimed for the head

Thats 21 days before I lost my virginity.

20 years seems a bit much. 10 would seem more appropriate for this case.

@MRDTH I agree with you but no one should be locked in a cage like they are an animal especially not for the rest of their lives many other countries handle criminals better by actually rehabilitating criminals rather than locking them up in a cage

@Vibeswell yep. Imagine if it was backwards and the black gentleman killed the white guy.

@Elmo Vanners No one deserves to have their partner and dad murdered. 20 years is kind. He has a second chance at life when he's released when the victim doesn't.

@Elmo Vanners if he gets back out he’ll do something like this again. You have a high opinion on murderers.

@1023sdot oh, good! I hope he has to serve the whole 20 years in prison. It's kinda not much actually cuz I mean he took a persons life.

@Vibeswell i think 20 years is enough no one deserves life in prison imo

@sadly not Xiao no he isn’t being released

@GlitchyRhythm woah wait he's getting released?? Why that?

He's getting released this year. Justice is served!

Scrolling just for this update. Thanks!!

thanks, i wasn't gonna be able to watch this if he got away with this shit.


Prosecution: Here is security footage that shows he is guilty<br>Defense: But it isnt in HD!

Prosecution: Here is security footage that shows he is guilty
Defense: But it isnt in HD!

The video I saw was of a man getting jumped because he complained about a woman parking in a handicapped spot. I guess you all saw another video.

I mean the defense is the defense for a reason, regardless of what happened they gotta try and sell something

Ah yes a little wave here and there so you can’t see anything clearly. Oh and the color is black and white which makes a large difference as well, he’s innocent

Lawyers will try anything. They get paid good to lie

I read this comment to see if someone would correct : prosecution 😃

@anddudewaslike It's his job to make the best defense possible, even for the worst people. It doesn't mean he believes or even likes his client, but if bad guys don't get adequate defense then good guys won't either. It's how the system has to be to ensure protection for everybody.

@Marco Polo 'Supposed to know hue is hue' you mean ;)

@Peter Alexander Danneskiold-Samsøe You don't force a client to do anything, you counsel them (hence why lawyers are also call counsellors). At the end of the day, the defense lawyer gets paid either way, so forcing a client to enter a particular plea holds no advantage for the lawyer.

And I never said anything about being righteous or lawful, I just said what the role of a defense lawyer is... That lawyer did his job well because his client was facing a maximum of 30 years and he got him 20 years...

THE COLORS WERE OFF! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO IS WHO AND WHAT IS WHAT WHEN THE HUE IS SLIGHTLY OFF?

@Boanerges57 <i>Well,</i> his job is to give him the best defense possible, not necessarily to win the thing. If your client is caught dead to rights, if you can get him twenty years instead of thirty or the death penalty, you've done a good job.

@Boanerges57 _Well,_ his job is to give him the best defense possible, not necessarily to win the thing. If your client is caught dead to rights, if you can get him twenty years instead of thirty or the death penalty, you've done a good job.

I think he was trying his best. He is required to do whatever he can to win the case, otherwise it could end in a mistrial. Even the worst person needs their lawyer to do the absolute best to fight for them in order to ensure that the case against them is sound. Numerous bad people have been released or had their cases drawn out needlessly simply due to their lawyer not trying very hard.


He seems pretty proud to me of his shooting skills and how he used his “training” as a “force multiplier” he seemed pretty damn proud to me!

@Deez Nuts I agree but your comment will be deleted as well

He should be proud. He obtained those skills so thugs don’t get away with attacking him. Even if the black guy wasn’t going to attack him after shoving him so hard he smacked the pavement, you don’t get to just assault someone for a trivial reason as arguing and get away with it. The world would be a lot safer if you assumed you’d get shot for so much as pushing someone


and this is why you always ask for a lawyer, ALWAYS


How did he instigate being attacked? I really dont feel telling someone they're illegally in a handicap spot warrants a freak out or especially physical assault. The camera footage shows he never got physical or violent, im having a hard time understanding why the guy is allowed to attack him for speaking?

He's not allowed to attack him Justin. I don't think you understand that being pushed over still doesn't warrant kill someone.


St. Matthew 7 Judge not, that you may not be judged,

2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

10 Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?

11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.

14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

28 And it came to pass when Lord God, the Great King Jesus Christ had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

29 For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

Word of the Blessed Lord God, the King.  Thank You Blessed Lord God, the King and Savior Jesus Christ.

All you great numerous enemies; the enemy of the holy death of my Lord God, the King and Master Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary; the prince of darkness and iniquity, the father of all liars; I stand on the death of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and offer His pains, wounds, and the Precious Blood of His left hand to the Eternal Father Lord God for your downfall, your destruction and your scourging. Amen. Precious Blood of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ - reign in me and in the lives of all men. Amen.

O holy loving Father, Lord God, the King of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who protected the Israelites of old in His holy wings in the dryness of the cold and hot desert; I offer You the holy death of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the protection of Your people who are scattered all over the world. May the Blood and water wash and strengthen, save and cleanse us that we might find home in the Sacred Side of Your Holy Son that opens for all men. Amen. Sacred Side of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - be our home for safety. Amen.

Omnipotent and Omniscient Lord God, the King, Lord God, the King of Elijah and the prophets, look at the Sacred Head of Your only-begotten Holy Son and have mercy. Arise and save Your people. I offer You all the shame, the pains, the wounds and the Precious Blood from the Sacred Head of Your Holy Son for all Your children who are living in these perilous times. Strengthen our true faith through the mockery of Your Holy Son, Lord Jesus Christ, and save us through the Precious Blood from His Sacred Head. May we, through the sufferings of Your Holy Son, Jesus Christ, learn to suffer in You and die in You. Amen. Holy tortures of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - increase our true faith. Amen.

Merciful and holy loving Father Lord God, the King, Your wish is that all men shall be saved. Kindly look on Your rejected and condemned Holy Son Who suffered many tortures and will suffer many through the sins of Your people. Look and see what sin has done to your only-begotten Holy Son. I offer for all Your people who are living in these ungodly and wicked days, all the tortures, pains, rejection and shame of your Son, Lord Jesus Christ, to You, for the true faith to withstand trials and holy patience to withstand long torture. May they through the suffering of Your only Holy Son, fight to the end. Amen. Our Lord God, Jesus Christ the King's torture - increase our true faith. Precious Blood of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - save us. Amen.


It wasn’t self defense it was revenge.He was embarrassed that he got pushed.Blind rage is still man slaughter

@ANHZ 52 Smart enough to admit and correct a mistake, Pythagoras! 😂

@Dra6onfly let's see how that works out for you ...maybe if he had not pushed him to the floor . He wouldn't have take out his gun and shoot him on the spot . Maybe ! How is that playing hero ? He just wants to have the space reserved for handicap people ...its that so wrong to just asking them to please move ? But people are dumb and have big egos ,so they tend to get offended for everything ,thus he got shot and his wife is a widow and the shooter is in jail ! No one wins because everyone had a huge ego .

ANHZ 52 I didn’t realize that hand gun had a clip? Or was he using a hand gun variant of a M1 Garand with a stripper clip?

Lol i was looking for this comment cause thats exactly what happened.

@Dj d I agree with everything you said. I wasnt trying to disagree with you, just point out that the shooting part was not necessary.  N yes all over stupid stuff.

@Dj d I agree there was no need for physical escalation. That wasnt a light push, and pulling the gun probably would be necassary. However, I dont think he needed to shoot, once the gun was drawn the guy backed up. It would be different if the guy kept advancing. No need to shoot.

You dont go around throwing people on the floor and then step up to them in a threatening manner . He could of easily load out his clip on him but he just shot  once. Just like a cop would !

Not even revenge, he's been waiting for this moment to have a legal excuse to shoot someone


people should just mind their own business, who cares if someone parked illegally just move on dummy lmao


Give a peasant a sword and he'll pretend he's a knight.


I live in this area. This man caused issues at this store constantly. I love how he called it HIS store when the owner of the store loathed whenever he visited and caused issues like this. It was only a matter of time for it to escalate

@Don't watch CNN ! Fake News ! ur name is hilarious

@Coyote Rx The black guy was clearly stepping back, not forward. It's clear he was not a threat to anyone while stepping backwards.
Yes, if you are on a ground, you are at a disadvantage, but not if you have a gun pointed at your assailant.

That shooting was clearly not justifiable.

@pepelapiu2004 If he just turned around and shot though he would be justified. The fact that he stopped for a second is what did it. It’s a tough one to call because gun violence is so rampant in today’s society there’s little recourse.

You can keep your gun on him while you walk back and out of the situation.
-if you’re standing up yes you can. He was on the ground though that’s considered a disadvantage.
You can keep your gun on him until the cops arrive.
Someone has to call the cops to begin with. If you’re holding someone at gun point you’re not going to take your eyes off them to unlock your phone dial 911. That’s why cops have radios on their shoulders to call for backup so they can hold up a suspect without taking their eyes off him.
You can’t shoot a man based on what you think he may do.
No you can’t but once physical aggression has been established that rule kind of flies out the window. The black guy already established he’s willing to cause physical harm over the altercation. It’s not unreasonable at that point to think a person will continue aggression.

There’s many options to what you can do but what you can do and what’s feasible are completely different.

If 2nd amendment issues and race cards weren’t at play this situation would probably be completely different. Manslaughter I feel is justified because shoving him to the ground is engaging in combat. I would personally charge him with reckless use of a fire arm. Based on an apparent previous situations where this guy was waiving his gun at people.

I believe this guy was looking for an excuse to legally shoot someone one day. So he probably was a bit quick to escalate the situation to drawing his gun. However, the black guy took it to the next level by engaging in physical violence. If the white guy had a lawyer with him during questioning. This would definitely had a different outcome.

@Jojo Cottrell04 It's called identity politics. The result is a divided populace more easily conquered.

@pepelapiu2004 i feel u lol, wouldnt really consider dude calling the shooter racist political

@Jojo Cottrell04 <br>Yup, it was a murder alright. But I don't appreciate when ppl try to twist everything for their political agenda.

@Jojo Cottrell04
Yup, it was a murder alright. But I don't appreciate when ppl try to twist everything for their political agenda.

@Coyote Rx You seem to think that once you pull out a gun, there are only two options: shoot or lower your gun.
You could keep your gun on him until he is established to no longer being a danger to you.
You could keep your gun on him while you walk back and out of this situation. You could keep your gun on him until the cops arrive.
You can't shoot a man based on what you think he might do in the future.

@pepelapiu2004 facts, definitely can’t say it was race but he still murdered him

@Far from Irrational you just skipped so many key factors just like the dude who committed the crime..

@Coyote Rx Really don't see your point here. Drejka never even gave any opportunity for anything to happen. Backing up is a clear sign of disengagement. What you do after that may change the situation, but the act itself is a sign of disengagement. Drejka had the upperhand in the situation, he could've waited to see what Marques was going to do, but he chose to fire without even looking at his face. I 100% agree that Marques shouldn't have pushed him and that he was justified in pulling his gun. But shooting? No. Drejka was at an advantage when he pulled the gun and he had the time to wait and see what Marques was going to do. Even if Marques chose to keep the confrontation, he needed time to get a weapon, or to approach Drejka to beat him up. Drejka didn't even consider giving him this time, he just shot.

Obs: your statement about the "N word moment" is so racist I had to stop and read it again to make sure someone said such a thing

@Blake Wilson I get that’s the rule but once you have a person at gunpoint what else are you really going to do other than shoot? Backing up doesn’t necessarily mean disengagement. The other guy can back up to their glove box and pull out their piece to retaliate. Would you really give them that opportunity?

If he told the cop he was scared and it was self defended he probably would not be charged with manslaughter. He was aggressively shoved to the ground by a 3rd person during a 2 person verbal confrontation. People have been shot over a toaster on Black Friday sales. The black guy should have approached it better rather than start a N***a moment.

@Coyote Rx he was justified in drawing his weapon, but the problem was the actual shooting. In conseled carry classes (at least the one i took) you are taught to draw your weapon at perceived danger, but to confirm the danger before firing. By drawing his weapon and immediately firing, he did not give himself a chance to assess the situation and see that the other guy is backing away.

@Gordon Zimmerman It seems like the controversy is around whether the shot was justified. The prosecutor says the black guy disengaged the situation and there was no need to shoot.

The other side is once he pulled the gun what else can you really do other than hold him at gunpoint or shoot. If you lower your firearm to disengage what’s stopping the other guy from going to his car and grabbing his piece?

If it wasn’t high profile for the race and 2nd amendment issue. He probably could have gotten a better deal like reckless use of a firearm. He was justified in pulling it out but whether it was the best decision to make is a different story.

Wat am i missing here seems like he acted in self defense from video

Yup. All this situation needed to blow up was another reckless and violent person.

@Finished!!!!!! There is nothing in the video to suggest he was racially motivated.

@Kwon To me that says "Should...yeah, fuck it. Ima shoot him." Premeditated, not quite but he DAMN sure decided to.

@Far from Irrational He actually paused for 2.5sec before shooting. Which mattered a lot in this case.

@Kwon i hope you're being sarcastic.....he pulled his weapon and fired in an instant. No one, with a weapon or not, could have stopped that man from being shot to death.<br>  The only thing that could have stopped that was the father choosing to use words instead of physically assaulting the shooter.

@High Speed 74D we've got a detective, folks. The people's champ.

If more people around the store had guns too, they could've stopped him!

This whole thing is a karen situation, he’s one of those people that think they own places

What?! He seems like an upstanding citizen!! /s


WHY ARE YOU DELETING YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE STOP PLEASE


what amazes me is that none of these people talk to a lawyer before they give information to the investigators

You look guilty when you ask for a lawyer.  But yeah, very stupid of these guys not to.


I am so glad this incident was caught on tape so the actual events could be seen!

ME TOO. I hate that we’re under constant surveillance except for when it calls out liars.

yeah and he's acting like nothing was taped 😂


so, while as the sole caretaker of a disabled parent, it does frustrate me when able bodied people use the handicapped parking because "they'll just be a minute", "real quick in and out", just grabbing a to-go order or picking up their mail, but inevitably they're now an obstacle in a disabled person's ability to freely move about society, and disabled people should never have to beg abled people for their own dignity.
but this man isn't disabled, and isn't defending anyone who is. he's a little man with a hero complex who likes waving his gun around to make himself feel like a big tough man who has the right to boss others around. parking in the handicapped parking when you aren't handicapped is not an offense worthy of death. no one in that family deserved to die for any of their actions. that man was clearly riding a holier-than-thou hero complex high and wanted to get revenge like a school yard bully for someone daring to stand up to him and shove his ass to the ground. he deserves every single day of jail time he gets for this senseless, needless, completely avoidable loss of human life. the trauma that now lives in that woman and her children is far worse than anything suffered by a disabled person unable to momentarily use that specific parking spot.

@Alicia Taylor No its just that they want they want to be treated as a "normal" person until it comes to putting there hands in there pockets then they want all the money etc etc

@George Findlay what are you on about? Do you just have hatred for disabled ppl or something?

"...parking in the handicapped parking when you aren't handicapped is not an offense worthy of death."<br>Agree. The offense was running up to an individual and knocking him to the ground. Drejka definitely escalated things by pulling his gun. Drejka deserves to go to jail. AND people who illegally park in handicapped stalls and refuse to move are still scumbags.

@Kat Page at the end of the day killing somebody for pushing you is excessive force which was obviously conveyed during his trial. Michael would’ve never beaten the case seeing as thou his life was never in danger and that he was just scared. When Michael takes his gun out there’s at least 4 feet between him and the victim. Victim slowly starts retreating and yet Michael still sees fit to shoot this man in “fear” of his life. He might as well have had his back turned

@Red Diver The allow the ambulance to easily pick up her husband.

i'm gonna say a lot of disabled people have it off worse than the family of a dead guy

@moon-Vixen not to mention this specific disabled spot is actually the furthest from the actual door and when he first pulled up every spot in front of the door was available! Plus he told the cops he was coming from WAWA down the road and obviously only stopped because he saw a car in the spot and he wanted to make sure they had a tag! These kind of people are not looking out for people, this kind of person is looking for a confrontation.

How do you deal with handicapped spot parkers who shouldn't? If they are still present I show my disabled parking placard and they'll usually apologize and drive off to park somewhere else. I've also when the drivers aren't there, approached nearby police officers who would then have these cars towed (meaning the owner will get a fine for illegal parking, and have to pay the towing costs). In other cases I've done what my dad used to do when I was a kid and someone parked at the disabled spot without a placard: deflate the tires of those cars.

The killer is in the wrong for shooting, obviously. But I can't bring myself to sympathize with the victim either considering how often I've had to walk long painful distances with my crutches due to these types.

@TonksArt I always find it so funny when a "handicapped" person says that they want to be treated like a normal person......until it comes to putting there hand in there pocket...i wish and hope for the day when someone "handicapped" wants to pay normal prices that the able "able bodied" have to pay.

@George Findlay I will say, people wouldn’t know I’m disabled if they saw me, because I can walk around and go through stores and stuff, but I’m 100% through the VA for major medical issues, which does have to do with walking a lot and standing for long periods, it’s hard to judge just because someone steps out of a car and walks around. In order for you to even get the handicap plaque you have to get a letter through your doctor. And it’s hard to get one.

@Saito Dosan agreed he had no reason to use the gun. He was not in a right state of mind. Possibly earlier too but certainly after the violent push. A push which was also unwarranted itself. A tragedy altogether for no reason. One man 10 feet under, another in jail for life. For no reason.

@Dinos And all that stuff you wrote STILL does not justify the crime of shooting a man dead in front of a gas station because he pushed you for harassing his wife and kids. That's the key thing that the separated this from him getting off on Florida's (often stupid, coming from a fellow Floridian) stand your ground laws. The question was never "was he wrong to take out the gun," the question was "was he right to SHOOT AND SHOOT AND KILL SOMEONE."

She was parked in a handicap spot and the rest of that might have occurred, sure, but he literally posed no threat to his life and he decided to take his gun out and fire anyway even though he backed up 3 steps and turned away to walk away. All that stuff you wrote literally DOES NOT MATTER. He diffused the situation when he took out his gun, and he decided to shoot the one shot that ultimately killed him anyway, and for that, he's guilty.

Why did he do it? I don't know. I'm not a professional psychologist. If I had to speculate, I'd say when he took out the firearm, the rush to an untrained person (because let's face it, gun training is not that thorough in this country) was enough to make him see everything in "fast motion." And in that moment of heightened adrenaline that comes from pointing a gun at someone, sure, maybe it seemed like the right thing to do and made it seem like the guy kept coming at him. But that's not reality. In reality, he pulled out the gun, the guy who pushed him took three steps back (WITH HIS HANDS UP, might I add), turned around to walk away, and then he got shot and killed.

The guy who killed him tried to argue the same thing you did. In his paraphrased words, "I don't know what he was going to finish but to me it looked like he was going to finish what he started." And as we can see, in Florida (and even in common sense once you take out your fucking gun and they start backing away with all their body showing signs that they "give up" as the prosecutor said), that is not a justifiable reason to KILL SOMEONE.

"She could have de-escalated by saying she was not aware" or whatever, is not a justifiable reason to take out your gun let alone discharge it and kill someone. Him shoving you to the ground, as the prosecutors acknowledged, is a reasonable cause to reach for your gun. But once he starts backing away three steps with his hands up and turning to walk away, the situation is diffused, and you have NO REASON to fire your gun. And furthermore, why are you only thinking of DREJKA'S perspective in the situation? From the guy who shoved him, all he saw was his wife and kids getting harassed so he got confrontational. Where's the rationalization for him, whose only "crime" was pushing the guy who was yelling at his wife and kids?

No amount of shit you write can justify what he did in taking another person's life who was just trying to buy some shit from the gas station.

I don’t think he killed him for the parking spot. He argued with the wife over it but when the husband came he shot because he was pushed. I think the parking spot was incidental and it was more that having a gun makes some people like him just itching to use it.

In all honesty, this man is the type of guy who would harass someone who isn't visibly disabled using a handicap parking spot.

@George Findlay Well then disabled people wouldn’t have a place to park and have room to get out of their car so they can access the store…<br>You’d further disable disabled people by taking away disabled parking areas because of idiots who fight over or take up those spots?

@Red Diver Cackling and sarcasm are your weapons. Be better.

@Looking 4 Things And you make up things about what happened. The view is always nice from LaLa Land, isn't it?

@Looking 4 Things

HAHAHA!!! If you believe that, I have some property on the moon to sell you.

HAHA!!!

@Red Diver So the children would be nearby after the shooting when she went into the store to check on him.

@Red Diver Why would that matter at all?

@Red Diver Why would that matter at all?

I wonder why the wife moved the car to a different parking stall.

The kicker is that particular disability space was not a legally designated disability parking space issued by the town.

I love watching mobility disability videos on YouTube. Always good for a proper laugh.

@D D L I’m talking about a commenter though

@D D L I’m talking about a commenter though

@Kat Page He didn't seem angry, and he didn't seem bothered by the outcome. Zero emotional connection or  reaction.

@Dinos "the accused was clearly not physically aggressive "

@Dinos "the accused was clearly not physically aggressive "

@Kat Page if you can't see it I can't help you hun. you have fun with your own cope tho lol

@Moon-Vixen   They didn’t say that he did nothing wrong. Yes, they said that it was not wrong to take out the gun: “taking out the gun was indeed correct,” and “he had the right to do so in this situation”, but they did say it was wrong to shoot; “But he had no right to shoot,” and “one cannot establish that he had to use the gun, even to wound, let alone to kill.”

So it’s clear they directly acknowledged the fact that it was the wrong course of action to shoot at all, regardless of whether the intention was to kill or to injure, so they definitely didn’t suggest that the killer didn’t do anything wrong.

I never detected anger from their reply honestly. None of the language they used emitted anger, and what they said was all simply from an open standpoint. They pointed out the right and wrong in both parties. Just because they recognized that they all did something incorrect doesn’t necessarily mean that they think the girlfriend, victim, and killer were equally all at fault. The wrong of murdering someone far, far outweighs the wrong of using rude language or pushing someone, and nothing they said suggested otherwise.

I just notice that a lot of people sometimes assume that whoever disagrees with them is angry. Or when someone writes a lot of words regarding a sensitive topic, it means they had strong motivation to do so which must have stemmed from anger. Or maybe if you felt anger towards them for pointing out the incorrect actions of the victim and his girlfriend, you automatically read their reply in an angry tone that matched how you felt. I know I do that sometimes.

But the point is, maybe they were in fact angry, but nothing they said actually showed they were angry. Maybe I missed something they said, so if you want to give some pieces of evidence from their text that show they were potentially seething by all means go for it. Or there was something that suggests anger in the deleted paragraphs?

@Kat Page lmao sweetie, look at it. he wrote 5 large paragraphs (now edited down to 3) more or less about how he did nothing wrong and didn't deserve his sentence bc it was all her fault and she should have de-escalated the situation by basically groveling at the feet of the random angry white man who approached her car out of nowhere over a crime he too in that moment was guilty of. he's absolutely seething

@Dinos angry bc you're just like him and don't like seeing him get what he deserves aren't you

The accused did not go to play the hero there. It is just that some people like to play the policeman whenever they see other people breaking the rules. When he first approached the vehicle he just saw a female driver there (did not see the kid behind, the windows were tinted) and he started telling her off maybe in a stern voice. But her reaction to him was more rude than his stern way - and it is certain that she reacted that way because she knew her boyfriend was inside and would come out to protect her. We need to acknowledge her role in this too, she was not OK having parked in the disabled area and then swearing at the man who made a remark. She could de-escalate saying that she did not notice this is a disabled area and that she was OK to change the position of the car and it would had ended all there. Instead she started up a verbal fight with the man. The victim then got out and sneakily pushed the man from behind. This was a vicious move. Yes we can say he was protecting his family there, but to do so would mean to go inbetween the man and the car where his girlfriend was in. The accused was clearly not physically aggressive, only having a verbal fight with his woman. So the victim really escalated it and did so viciously attacking from behind. An attack from behind is particularly vicious in the sense that it can be interpreted as a sign of a will to do far more harm than an attack coming from in front. The victim literally pushed the man, older in age, into the air and fell to the ground. Yes he did a step back but in many fights attackers take a step back only to take more momentum and attack again with kicks nailing the guy to the ground. People have killed other people with kicks to the head in that way. You never know how it will go on.

From the accuser's point of view, taking out the gun was indeed correct, precisely as the prosecution lawyer said in the court. He had the right to do so in this situation. But he had no right to shoot. This is the thing : owning a gun is good... until you have to use it. The devil is in the details. When you use it you are burdened with the need to prove that the circumstances called for the usage of the gun. In this case, one cannot establish that he had to use the gun, even to wound, let alone to kill. The accused pulled the trigger not because he felt the threat was continuous but rather because of the shock he received during his fall. It was more of a tit for tat kind of escalation : the victim escalated by viciously-violently pushing him to the ground, and the accused then went on to escalate more by pulling out his gun and shooting him.

Speaking of the racism connotations here, if one is to use the racist card on the accused, i.e. that he pulled the trigger too easily because the victim was a black guy, he cannot avoid then the same token being used on the victim, i.e. that he went on to escalate and attack in such a vicious manner (and dangerous one - if he fell with the head he could even die, people have died with such falls....), precisely because what he saw there was an older white guy.

@Jpse Barton exactly what I was thinking

@Jpse Barton exactly what I was thinking

@Moon-Vixen Your original comment on top was perfectly conveyed. I agree with everything you said because that’s exactly what was going through my mind as I started reading the comments. Trust me, it’s not every week that I agree without a reasonable doubt.

If i had my own store and if it was legal to do i would have NO disabled parking area for one it causes waaay to many idiots to act and two it always amazes me when nearly all people just jump out the car and wander around a store for x amount of time so it always makes me think why do they want to<br> park nearer to the store because it makes not a bit of sense ?  So if there was no disabled parking area this and many other disputes would never ever happen.

@Jpse Barton a lot of them are, often it's to put them next to a ramp so that wheelchair users can get up the curb but a lot of places don't give a single fuck and just put it wherever they want "out of the way" bc they legally have to have at least one but there is absolutely nothing actually stopping them from making it the most useless parking spot ever, which is another huge problem, but yet another reason why this whole ordeal is so fucking stupid.


I like how the cop asked him “do you think you could have taken him in a fair fight?” …(that was brilliant). By asking the question the officer revealed just how faint hearted (a coward) this guy is.

you cant say that when he was sucker pushed

@Killer Macchiato sounds like a good way to get shot or stabbed. you can defend by inserting yourself in between, and asking the guy to step back from a person or a car, ask the  girl to step away. if he follows her then that can be threatening. even just holding someone in place can be perceived as a threat as there's obviously 2 choices, talk or strike. and no adult beging held by a stranger expects a conversation

@Killer Macchiato
What if that was your girl? Idk how you feel about a man getting up in your girls face and yelling at her.

It doesn't matter how people feel. Emotional reactions are by definition irrational. And you just told us that you would overreact to a verbal altercation between two outside parties. It'd be one thing if Marquis walked out to find Drejka actually physically assaulting his girl. That'd be a very different scenario. And surely we can both agree that Drejka was in the wrong, but blindsiding someone violently who has not physically attacked you or your significant other is very abnormal behavior. It's an escalation.

Ultimately, this all occurred because Michael Drejka thought it was his job to make sure people parking in handicapped spots had placards - something I don't think he should have been doing btw. But the pusher escalated, and so did the shooter, and BTW both were wrong. This is what happens when two adults act without thinking.

@nebula donuts He did what he had to do protecting his wife from someone arguing with her by assaulting that person? How do you not get how silly and hypocritical it is trying to justify Markeis's foolish escalation of the situation while lambasting Michael's foolish escalation of the situation? Michael shouldn't have shot Markeis, and he should go to jail for killing him, but Markeis shouldn't have assaulted Michael, and he shouldn't be treated as if he was right for doing so.

Also, you want to talk about acting like the guy in the video, when his argument for the entire video sounds a lot like the one you're making for Markeis. "He was protecting h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶f̶e̶ himself, who probably wouldn't h̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ shoot at him. He did what he had to do." Who acts like who again? Go do some critical thinking bro.

@J3 Omega ur acting like the guy on this video, go do calculus bro

@Aljoša P hes making him realise his actions were wrong

@J3 Omega He was protecting his wife, who probably wouldnt hold a fight. He did what he had to do

@Johnny Natrium careful there, my dude. With sound logic like that, you're bound to get called racist by fragile, ignorant hypocrites with no actual argument.

The whole concept of a fair fight is non-existent here. If he hadn't carried a gun, the fight would also not have been fair, because physically the black dude completely outclassed him, and clearly bullied him. And before you put words in my mouth, although the dad was acting despicably, the shooter was obviously far more despicable in shooting the man as he backed off and robbing him unfairly of his life.

@Greg Perry to be fair, clowns bring some happiness and fun. This snowflake just brings fragility and disappointment

@Jon Mancuso 100%. So fucking fragile its sad

@J3 Omega you got dragged and owned trailer park native.

@Aljoša P I think there was an argument there either way. I agree if he said yes then what you said would be the argument by the prosecution. Since he said no, I think they were showing that the only reason he decided to approach the situation was that could become physical was because he had a firearm on him. He was confident because he had a gun. He wouldn’t have even tried to find another way out of this confrontation other than shooting an unarmed man.

@Melatonin That's about the response I expected. XD How disappointing.

Let me explain the question of "do you think you could have taken him in a fair fight?" since some people got side tracked or uptight in their own pity issues.

It is not a fair fight if you are trying to fight someone with your fists and the other person draws a gun. That is a very unfair fight since they have more range, can inflict greater damage, and be very safe while doing it all. It is still an unfair fight if someone brings a knife since it can do greater damage as well despite the closer range.

By asking him if he thinks he could have taken him in a fair fight was to see if he could handle himself without a gun or any other weapon. If someone says yes than they answered the weapon wasn't needed. These questions are about the contents of the situation and the answer of the person in question. It really speaks out, when looked further into, their mindset.

Really that is all there is, by saying it was pointless just tells us that you would be clueless on how to interrogate someone. It is okay to not know how and to blindly suggest otherwise, but not so great if you keep up a pointless act and show everyone you have so much free time to stalk down a post you made a month ago to "defend" yourself by attacking everyone else. Just put the gun down.

@J3 Omega wow, you need a lot of attention. A review of your channel is a real eye opener to your motives for comments on this video. I like how many vids in your playlist mention the N word. Real classy. #racist #racistpos

@J3 Omega You completely implied that through your choice of words

@J3 Omega Dont wanna be blind sided? Don't confront women with children in parking lots huffing and puffing

@Killer Macchiato he wouldn't know what having a girl is like

I dont think it was meant to show him as coward, i think it was meant as to show if there was any other option. If Drejka would answer "yes" to that question it would show that he could defend himself fighting instead of shooting. Answer "no" was the right one in term of his defense but not the answer cop was looking for. What do the cop care if he is a coward or not.

@J3 Omega idk man. What if that was your girl? Idk how you feel about a man getting up in your girls face and yelling at her. If it were me I would have acted very similar. I guess I am more of the protective type but i mean that man wasnt just close to her he was <b>close</b> and I would not wait for him to get any closer before putting myself between him and my girl or pushing him away. Maybe not as hard as he did but adrenaline is a hell of a drug. And with the only context being this crazy man up in your girls face and yelling saying god knows what you better believe I'm intervening and putting him in his place. Just a slight shove to create distance or just grab him by the shoulders while talking to him. Anything to make sure he can not harm my woman. But thats just my take on it.

I'm sure it would've been a brilliant question to ask Marquis too, considering he blindsided someone who clearly wouldn't have stood a chance of fighting back.

No, thats a foolish question for the officer to ask. The only correct answer is no.


It’s interesting how much he stressed that he’s never been a fighter. Anybody that’s been in a fight would know how to avoid starting one.

Puppies learn how to play safely by playing unsafely, and learning to stop when that violence causes someone else pain (biting too hard gets a yip and ends the fun). They learn, while too weak to do any real damage, where the boundaries are.

Drejka thought he was portraying himself as a gentle person. All he did is show he has no idea how to respond to a little violence. Anybody that’s been in a fight would have taken that push, then seen Marquis back up, and know that no more harm was coming. But Drejka didn’t understand that, and escalated things even more.

@Normal Human It doesn't matter. Regardless of where you live, I bet more people got killed by guns than by bears. I bet whatever you want.

@GP the people here own guns for hunting animals
There is absolutely no intent to hurt anyone

@GP the people here own guns for hunting _animals_
There is absolutely no intent to hurt anyone

@GP well at least where I live the threat of a bear attack is bigger than the threat of being shot because the gun owners around here know how to be responsible <br>So at the very least I think gun control should be determined by the local government

@GP well at least where I live the threat of a bear attack is bigger than the threat of being shot because the gun owners around here know how to be responsible
So at the very least I think gun control should be determined by the local government

@Normal Human 2-5 people die from bear attacks every year, more than 45000 die from gun accidents. I think your argument is pretty dumb....

@GP question: if I’m at home and a bear starts mauling my family member what should I do? Stab it? Hope it doesn’t maul them too bad?

@Gifted Fox cases like Drejka’s are extremely rare. It’s not wannabe heroes that make the streets dangerous, especially if they get even the slightest bit of training.

Most gun owners aren’t wannabe heroes, scouring dark alleys for an excuse to kill a would-be robber. They’re just normal people that want to be prepared for an extreme situation, and are smart enough to avoid those situations entirely when possible.

Edit: also, why are you using weapon and gun as synonyms? Knives, bats, rocks and basically anything can be a weapon. It’s not about the tool, it’s about the user.

And, if on top of that, you live in one of the very few fucked-up countries where owning a gun is a constitutional right, you see where this can go.

@rafer Jefferson iii well dont go pushing random people to the ground or robbing them or looting their neighboorhood store and youll be fine

@rafer Jefferson iii I’ll mostly agree, except people absolutely should NOT fire warning shots. You might as well blindfold yourself, spin around and fire randomly.

Truth.  The other thing he could have done if he suspected he was getting a whooping would be to simply draw the weapon snd back off.  Or even fire over his head. <br>I can’t say just how lucky I feel that in my. Country, even criminals don’t regularly use guns snd I don’t have to worry in every argument there’s someone like this ready and willing to use a gun.

This guy is the type that has been waiting to inflict violence upon a person. The just give me a reason type of guy. His moral compass is clearly faulty. To feel justified about murdering man over a parking verified that. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a hero complex as well. Bet he wasn't counting on that security camera disproving his story.  Good thing it was there or he would have probably got away with it.

And the black guy who assaults you for talking to a person outside his car is a model citizen


This officer does a great job playing buddy while gathering information all the way. Almost got this guy bragging. Smart cat.


i always get goosebumps when the narrator at the end of the videos explains the sentencing and how many years the person got.


I went to high school with this dude. I was a senior when he was a sophomore.  He was a strange bird!

How often did he volunteer to be hall monitor?


From the video alone this was completely unjustified.. he wasn't in fear for his life for even a second, just indignant at being put in his place by a black man for harassing someone. My own personal views aside that kind of behaviour is unacceptable.

@Chris or mind your own business and don't go yelling at women in parking lots? Would you just let someone yell at your wife?

Maybe follow the rules of society and not attack people who you don't know? Is that an option?


The prosecution hit the nail on the head in its arguments.  I was nodding along with every point made.  Where as the defense was as dumb as Michael himself. They had no leg to stand on.  Video evidence case closed!!  Just leave people alone.


This dude definitely seems like he really wanted to be in the armed forces, but they wouldn't let him for physical reasons.


Remember when you were a kid and someone pushed another kid on the playground? You’d think an adult could do the same as kids and get up and go tell an adult (because he clearly wasn’t one)


Great channel and amazing breakdown of each case


He's the type of guy to say "I would have joined the military but I would have knocked the drill instructor out" and own at least 2 dozen Tapout shirts.


Holy cow even his defense Attorney knew he was guilty.

Larry isn't my name, but you can call me that

His attorney probably told him to plead guilty but the guy is so self centred he refused to, nothing the attorney can do there but give the best defence possible, but there was no good self defence
