@Tyler Hite Did you not see Floyd begging for his life, clearly unable to breathe, and Chauvin still not moving an inch. Excuses along the lines of "it's not as bad as it looks", "he could easily have survived" or "he was dead anyway" are
a) inaccurate to begin with,
and
b) irrelevant to the irrefutable crime that was commited by Chauvin.

@Frederik L. Do you not realize when you are high on multiple drugs your heart is beating incredibly hard. And you will freaking out and be uncooperative af around cops because you don't want to get taken in to a police station high af as Floyd was to Chauvin if you watch the whole video.

@Tyler Hite Oh I am reading every word you say, but all I see is more hysteria and alternative facts as if the scene wasn't actually caught on tape.<br>I could ask you the same thing, you know? Cause it seems to me like you're very eager to gloss over the fact that Chauvin commited manslaughter "at best" and outright murder at worst.

@Frederik L. Did you not read a word I just said, he was already going to die of fentanyl overdose. Not to mention being on 3 other things, dude literally held up his pregnant wife to try to save his skin. Dude was a degenerate.

@Tyler Hite There you go proving my point. Chauvin literally choked Floyd to death. Claiming Floyd would have survived being literally choked to death if not for previous intoxication is equivalent to claiming that a victim of a fatal shot to the head would have survived if only the round had been fired from a handgun instead of an assault rifle. It's murder no matter how you try to twist and turn it.<br>This is exactly what I'm talking about, marginal circumstances are either fabricated out of thin air or blown out of proportion by fake news outlets like Fox News, Daily Wire, Infowars and all their even cheaper copycats, but all they can ever hope to achieve are very exhausting and completely unconvincing excuses for what every reasonable person can recognize as obvious crimes.

@Frederik L. You know where I get my news? Ok Mr.Stalker. idk about you but I just look at the toxicology report and eyewitness accounts. What do you listen to? CNN? Blm rhetoric that is in no way true?

@Tyler Hite
You: "everything you know is a lie"
Also you: "I get my info from unverified fake news outlets and I'm proud of it!"

Face it, I never even needed "leverage" with you in the first place, you've decided to live in a fictional alternate universe long ago.

@Frederik L. Fentanyl Floyd? You completely lost all leverage with me. Try idolizing someone who doesn't put gun barrels to pregnant women's stomachs rips someone off and then plays it off like he's a good guy. Not to mention the criminal record beforehand. Face it, everything you know is a lie. Do research that isn't from front page news if you want the real truth my friend.

@Tyler Hite You want some cold hard logic? Here you go:
1. McLaughlin shouldn't have escalated the conflict to a physical level.
2. Drejka shouldn't have fired his gun in light of the fact that McLaughlin was clearly backing away.
3. Floyd was murdered by Chauvin, the act was unequivocally caught on tape and the outrage about it is fully justified. Neither hopeless Chauvin apologetics based on laughably irrelevant circumstances nor fake news outlets denying it altogether won't change that reality.

@Henni Gadient You're a bad dad joke incarnate, Jesus. Make sense sometime please.

@Henni Gadient He didn't know that he was unarmed, he was pushed to the ground. So it's okay for you to just randomly shove people to the ground? You must have a lot of friends. You are literally not even reading what I'm saying so I'm honestly done with you. If you can't see the hysteria around George Floyd protests influencing people into states of fear, you need to do some research. People are so uninformed ffs. No wonder Biden won.

@Old Ironsides exactly. And not bx of the fucking murderer that shooted him without any reason?! This comment section.... SHAME

@Tyler Hite He maid 3!!!! steps back and was unarmed!!!!! €&@&€@&€&&€€&

@Tyler Hite You think its gine to shot back?! thats the question here. shame in you !

@Tyler Hite You think its gine to shot back?! thats the question here. shame in you !

@Tyler Hite He did not appear to be approaching him after he shoved him, even before pulling the gun. Even so, taking the gun out was all that he needed. Shooting was completely unwarented, the guy was clearly triggy happy.

@Henni Gadient So do you think it's fine for anyone who gets into a verbal fight to push the other person to the ground?

@Tyler Hite Shame on you just shame on you! yes people are stupid.

@Tyler Hite Shame on you just shame on you! yes people are stupid.

@Henni Gadient Well he shouldn't have escalated the situation that far when he didn't need to like a bonehead. Nobody deserves to die, but people can be stupid and die from that.

@G l i c k Yes because being pushed down makes you vulnerable, and when you're put in a vulnerable position in public out of nowhere your going to take the most efficient route to defending yourself which is a gun. What was he going to do after he pushed him down? Leave him alone?

Well maybe people shouldn't be physical when there's no reason to be.

Well maybe people shouldn't be physical when there's no reason to be.

@G l i c k i know someone that is doing prison because of one of those "lovetap of a push". He was working as a bodyguard, an inebriated person got into his face which made him push the guy back. That guy hit his head and died in the hospital.

@G l i c k "Lovetap" Pushed him to the ground. You do realise if you push someone they can fall wrong and hit their head right? Don't get physical with someone unless they're doing the same.

You do know that people remarry, right? I guess not.

@Martin Bjalončik I am just curious. Would you ? Kill my over a parking spot ? Honest question?  One can conclude from your argument that you would.

@Asma Daud well, for a moment it seemed you can realise how stupid your arguments and acusations are. But then... there you go again!

@Avocado Toast the brutalit and ignorance you would so like to show that you are fighting are in your own silly words.

@Mom’s Cat Videos he’s the victim but he definitely could’ve prevented being a victim

@Mom’s Cat Videos he’s the victim but he definitely could’ve prevented being a victim

@Asma Daud I believe what I see with my own two eyes, I don't need some spirits of the ancestors bullshit to confirm what is video evidence.

@Rumchata ratchet ???? You have let anti blackness jump out immediately you didn’t even try to hide it .By defending herself from creep that feels entitled to take the law into his own hands I will be labeled as “ratchet” Like I said these comments are exposing y’all racism. The fact you label someone ratchet bc of emotions running high is disgusting. Bc you will never refer to a white expressing herself as ratchet. Please please before you even respond just comprehend what I said. Why do you people hate us so much ? Why do you think we can’t feel pain, emotions, like any other human being. Why can’t y’all give us the decency to be a human.

If the father's first response to someone arguing with his girlfriend is to immediately go to physical violence and attack someone, then he would not have been able to teach that kid a great many things worth of value. Uncivilized brutes, on both ends of the gun.

Lol prob doesnt mean anything, his parents werent married and they probably wouldve broken up so kid was gonna grow up without a father anyways.

@Old Ironsides no, you do not get to pin this on her. Micheal Drejka shot a man in cold blood when he was in no danger.

That’s what hurt my heart the most ! That little baby will carry that trauma forever. And he feels no remorse what so ever .

@Martin Bjalončik it’s called defending your scared girlfriend who’s being yelled at by a random man. Yes he could have solved it without a shove but that in no way justifies being shot

@PandaKitty come on, kitty, you know you may give orders to your guinea pig at your best.

@CamCritical So are you saying that shove, that had all the power of a speeding snail behind it, was worthy of being shot to death?

@G l i c k hOw WaS hE vIoLeNt<br>Idk bro. Maybe the battery that’s on video?

@G l i c k hOw WaS hE vIoLeNt
Idk bro. Maybe the battery that’s on video?

@CamCritical How was the father violent? Guy was harassing his wife and kids, he gives him a lovetap of a push, guess he can die now.

@Kei “real victim” implies that the person who died wasn’t actually the victim, and instead the son. Maybe they didn’t mean it and were trying to sound deep or w/e

@Mom’s Cat Videos they didn't say he wasn't...?

@ exactly what I was thinking throughout this whole video

@Enoch Powell His reason was NOT justified.

@Enoch Powell His reason was NOT justified.

@Enoch Powell Sounds like somebody is filtering a lot of information through some prejudices

@Enoch Powell  the guy also parked illegaly next to her. He shot someone because he was pushed. He was no in any imediate danger. He was looking for trouble. He confronts people infront of stores for a disabled parking spot when he didnt need it.  He instigisted the confrontation. He paused and thought before pulling the trigger while the man was backing away.

Enoch Powell there is nothing revolutionary about shooting an unarmed father for 3 kids right in front of his kids lol.

I think so, too.. considering the 4 past incidents invoving him with his gun (without firing it). Now this time, he seemed to have the chance to fire it.

@Enoch Powell no. The minute he pulled out his gun he neutralized any perceived threat. Not only was this asshole wrong, he was behaving in a threatening way toward a female!

Daniel Morris I’ve reported you to my local ZOG chapter. Your name is in the system. Good luck.

@Ra HoWa pls tell to us what ReHoWa means, it will explain a lot about your mind & ideology 🤣😂😭

Just like World War 1 countries looking for a excuse

Just like World War 1 countries looking for a excuse

Enratic he fired one round. Hardly the action of someone wanting to “use” their pistol when he could have emptied the mag.

I mean the black guy was unecassarily aggressive, but it still wasn't completely okay.

@Enoch Powell You obviously haven't read any of his work if you have to ask that. His writing is some of the most anti-conservative writing of his time.<br>Besides which, Orwell is misattributed those words, from a book published in 1982 -- 30 years after his death. He never said or wrote anything of the sort in his lifetime. Nobody knows who said that, but the fact that I guessed -- without Googling -- that you were implicitly referencing 1984 & alluding to Orwellianism, should speak volumes as to the veracity of anything you have to say... specifically the lack thereof.

Ra HoWa the first amendment protects you from the government ya simpleton. Google is a private company and they can censor whoever they want without disrupting anyone's first amendment rights.

No Fux ah that’s racist 😬 he wasn’t “jumping” anyone, he shoved someone on the ground 😬 no further action. Calling someone a thug to demonize someone, yikes

@AJ Archibald The court determined the victim was black, and thus the white man was automatically guilty.

Ra HoWa getting pushed to the ground is not a reason to kill someone 🤯

@Enoch Powell if you have instragram add @jogslayer what they fear the most is white unity. Growing a community of like minded individuals is crucial.

@Enoch Powell - welp just lost a paragraph.

@Enoch Powell - welp just lost a paragraph.

These people are factually violent and over aggresive. Why don't people get this. I'm almost positive all these BLM types have never lived in their neighborhoods before, never forced to go to school with them. They're not human in my opinion. And anyone who puts one down should be awarded for public service.

@Enoch Powell Yeah everytime I so much as criticize jogger behaviour my comment is insta removed.

Yeah those kind of people are particularly violent. He would've done way worse if not for the gun drawn. Cant say I feel bad for the jogger.

@Enoch Powell Holy shit found the crazies up in this YouTube comment section

Ra HoWa Bahaha, I wonder if you deleted your comment or it got marked as spam. Regardless, they say “imitation is a form of flattery.”

@Veloxy Don't park in a crippled person's handicap spot.

You lose.

@Shyhalu Don't go up to a women with her child and start acting out.

And that thug was looking for an excuse to use his hands.

Grow up, don't attack old or crippled people you bigot.

Here are other incidents involving this piece of trash:
Claim Drejka pointed a gun and followed them. They take down his license plate number and contact authorities. Drejka claims the driver cut him off and says he honked his horn and yelled at them but denies pointing his gun and following them. The driver and passenger decline to press charges.
Claim Drejka threatened them with a gun. They report the incident to a Largo police officer, who pulls Drejka over. Drejka claims the driver drove too slowly in a 15-mph school zone and says he honked his horn at them but denies pointing his gun. The officer declines to arrest Drejka since the victims drove off.
Claims she was waiting for Drejka to pass while in the center lane waiting to turn. Drejka claims the woman nearly hit him and admits to brake-checking her, causing her to rear-end him. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper accuses Drejka of aggressive driving and cites him for the collision.
Claims Drejka confronted him over parking his employer's tanker truck in the handicapped space. He accuses Drejka of threatening to shoot him and using a racial slur. The store owner Salous intervened and ordered Drejka to stop or else he would call the police, to whom Drejka replied, "I can't help myself, I keep getting myself into trouble." After the incident Drejka calls the company the driver works for and complains to the owner John Tyler, reportedly saying the driver was "lucky I didn't blow his head off." The driver reports this incident to the police in July after the shooting of Markeis McGlockton at the same location.

@Enoch Powell FYI, I am flagging every comment you make. You cam blame me for you being censored. Racism is unAmerican and we will wash you down the drain of history.

Isn't that what all americans boil down to?

Isn't that what all americans boil down to?

@Enoch Powell ya im sure we should all turn to people like you to determine the proper sentencing, you know people who failed high school and are now someone legal experts.

AJ Archibald - The court didn’t want another Michael Brown, they just delayed it.

@Enoch Powell At the end of the day, both of them were in the wrong. The guy should've never pushed the other guy, and likewise, that guy shouldn't have shot him for getting "pushed".

@Enoch Powell you are the deciding factor about what's right from wrong, hmn?

@Enoch Powell  He's serving 20 years. The court determined it wasn't a legitimate reason.

I think he was looking for an excuse to test his aim.

Prosecutor was pretty good here. Shat the bed for Curtis Reeves though.


This guy wasn't going out looking for someone to murder, but he WAS living the gun owner's dream. This is exactly why these people want guns, and exactly the excuse they want to use them. "They came at me" is all the justification they need to end a life and prove what a dominant alpha they are. Don't give this guy a gun and this situation wouldn't have escalated past him being on the floor. Hell, he would be the victim of assault. But as soon as you give someone the "easy option", they will take it, and they will flaunt it, and society crumbles.

Someone died defending his family from a wacko who thought life was gta. I’m glad justice was served in he end, i hope the victim’s family eventually recovers.

It was only because he's black. This is a wrongful conviction. I would've done more than he did

@John Doe defending them from a verbal confrontation by sprinting at and pushing a guy over? That was not „defending“. Not saying that the shooter was right though

It's as esy as to buy guns in ur Country compared to gta. That's so unreal I can't imagine. Here in Germany we don't sell guns to any idiots who don't live in reality. And guess what, spoiler alert we don't have shootings here by us. (compared to America)

@Mememaster 69 where i live his actions wouldn’t count as a crime either.

@Mark Muir he got shot in the chest and then ran into the store for help where he collapsed and died… white fit was scared that a black guy was going to beat him up that’s all it was and pulled out his gun … he needed that hun cuhz he never won a fist fight a day in his life

Defending his family by running back in the store when he got shot with the woman and her kids in the car?

Justice was not served. he only got 20 years and will be released with good behavior in 10

@Ireneusz Swierczynski His life wasn't ever in danger

@Manuel Olivas You are literally worse than Michael

@Manuel Olivas That random father was evil because he wanted to defend his partner and the mother of his kids?

@Squiggly Line 1. No Don't be a pos
2. If someone is idling in a parking spot leave them alone
3. Ignore the wannabe cop they have no authority and they want attention
4. There's no reason to fight anyway. Don't push anyone Don't shoot anyone and everyone gets home safe

Moral of the story: don't hook up with a classless girl who is going to drag you down with her!

honestly the whole situation is insane and nobody is in the right imo
1. family parks in disabled spot
2. weirdo who thinks his life revolves around defending his local gas station confronts the mother
3. argument ensues instead of the mother avoiding confrontation by something as simple as "sorry, I will move the car"
4. father comes out and his first reaction to a verbal argument is to get physical
5. weirdo finally gets to shoot his gun after waiting for so long to use it

@patrick kinnear I'm not American, but where I'm from what the father did wouldn't even count as a proper crime, it would be a tort. If the same thing happened here and Michael hadn't acted like a complete psycho, he could have probably sued, but the father wouldn't have gotten prison time, just would have had to pay some money.

I wouldn't say the guy "defended his family" he definitely assaulted the guy for no reason. The subject of this video was undoubtedly guilty of murder and was wrong for even drawing his weapon, but if he hadn't the father would have recieved assault charges, and for good reason.


Honestly the part that ticked me off was that after he had a month to think about it, he said he wouldn’t have done anything differently. I can understand making an irrational split second decision, but there truly was no need to fire, & the man he killed had a wife and kids. He should’ve regretted what he’d done at the very least

@Muskoka Mike OK but hear me out, our person B here fucking murdered person A. Sure, none of this would have happened if person B never did something wrong, but person B also wasn't aware of the whole situation. Person B just saw someone berating his wife and children, and (in my opinion rightfully) shoved him off. Had person B known the full story, maybe it would have turned out a bit differently, after all, it's not as  if person B was aware the his wife was being rude to person A, and most likely did not know that he parked in a handicap spot. A little push ain't going to kill anyone, and person B was already backing up after the fact, untill person A turned the situation from a relatively small altercation about a parking spot, to a full blown man slaughter case. There was no reason for person A to believe that he was even gonna be hurt at that point, maybe if he tried to explain himself to the man and why he was upset, things would have went smoothly. But no, he just took his gun out and shot a man who was already backing up in the first place. And you say that person B escalated? Person A both instigated the altercation, and escalated it to heights I don't think person B really thought it was ever gonna go.

@Muskoka Mike literally not the point. We aren't discussing of the confrontation was justified, or if he shouldve parked in the parking space in the first place, or the fact that the gun was even justifiably pulled out. You can argue all those things but that's not what this case is trying to prove at all. It was asking whether or not the use of deadly force was justified. Maybe if the man who was shot was still alive, all of these things would have been discussed, but the fact that he died? It voids all of it.

@crypt The scary part? Here in Canada the politicians making the rules don't even know this. They recently banned "AR assault rifles" FFS.

YOU LUNATICS.....how about you learn what the hell you're talking about before talking about it.

@Muskoka Mike Anti-gun nuts? As opposed to the sensible gun enthusiasts?

Well his irrational split second decision had dire consequences.

@Muskoka Mike It should also be noted that Michael himself was parked illegally. If Person A doesn't return their cart and Person B tells them to return it (while also not returning their own cart). Person A now has every right to be indignant. Person B, however, does not have the right to escalate the situation by being aggressive and yelling when they themselves are being hypocritical. While Person C should not have pushed Person B, they did it to protect Person A. Person B should not have shot Person C in response to a push and assumed they would continue the altercation.

All in all, a man died over a woman parking in a handicapped spot. Maybe she shouldn't have parked there, but it was not her fault that her boyfriend decided to push Michael, and it certainly wasn't her fault Michael shot her boyfriend. Michael could have reported her instead of getting involved directly, especially since it didn't directly affect him.

@Muskoka Mike ah yes thats escilation with a normal person. This was more like
Person A: Doesn't return cart
Person B: Tells them to put the cart back, or overblows the situation and is rude in their suggestion
Person A: (rightfully,) Indignant at person Bs rudeness"f off."
Person B: indignant (debatable,) begins yelling at person A and acting in an aggressive manner
Person A: pushes person B

In order for your idea to make sense person B has to have been raised well themselves and engage withing the confines of social contract. Thus in step 4 they cannot break the social contract. He could have done this by threats of legal punishment, insults of his own, etc. He instead yelled and acted aggressively, he as person B cannot do so he has to keep within social convention.
If not then Person B has no moral ground to stand on, as they are committing the same action of violating the social contract and decency. The murderer did not act within the social contract. He stepped beyond this responsibilities, and ignored direction from those with the authority he did not. He was raised just as if not more poorly to escalate the situation further then normal, and kill someone over something that was not his place and was actively made not his place.

He had no right to do any more then the social contract allows. This line of logic stopped applying to this situation as soon as he started yelling. In the absence of physical altercation the theories logical end point is to step away and call those who can rightfully handle the situation. Whether that may be a manager who can ban person A or the police who can punish the person ignoring the parking laws.

This of course does not bring in the other evidence of ill rearing. Those being escalating conflict by threatening death at inappropriate times on at least 4 other occasions.

@Shadow Nice rant, but you skipped and minimized the "minor event" which was the catalyst.

Should she have parked in the handicapped spot? NOPE.

Should she move the second someone called her out on it? YUP.

But as my previous response: she wasn't taught right from wrong and instead of admitting her mistake and correcting it, she went ballistic.

@Shadow nice rant, but who said it did? (justify shooting someone for not returning the cart).

Here's how escalation works:
Person A doesn't return their cart
Person B says Hey return that cart (rightfully)
Person A says F you
Person B says OH yeah? (rightfully)
Person A pushes person B
Person B defends himself (rightfully)

The whole situation could have been avoided if Person A was raised correctly. If Person A was taught from an early age, when you get called out for your misdeeds, there's punishment, they would learn. Instead? They react with aggression "don't tell me what to do". Hence why the prison population is so large in the US.

@Muskoka Mike your second comment about the shopping cart theory is almost irrelevant as it just adresses a form of social contract. In no way does it justify stepping outside of a reasonable social escalation, and breaking the social contract yourself by screaming at someone. Nor does it justify you shooting someone if they push you to get you away from them for screaming at them about the cart.

@Muskoka Mike no the preceding events aren't brought up because doing so lays equal blame on the victim when thats just not the case.

The murder instigated the conflict by turning a minor event of someone parking illegally into screaming for several minutes. Lets also not forgot all his actions leading upto the event.

He was stepping outside of his authority  social obligation, and had had this kind of conflict several times before. Even after being told to stop by the owners of the gas station. This shows a patern of agressive behavior reinforced by the 4 other times he pulled a gun on others in that month alone.

The extent of the victims blame is a minor infraction and the single battery of pushing the man. The extent of the murders blame is a history of starting arguments over something that is not his business, and he was prohibited from doing. Having a history of agressive action culminating in reacting to being pushed by pulling a gun, and shooting a retreating man after having seconds to see he was no longer in danger.

Nothing but him is the reason why people are anti gun. People like him get guns and look for a reason to use them. In this case policing something not in his right, escalating every argument caused by his behavior, and shooting someone not on rushed reaction but because he wanted to. That murder deserved everything he got and is getting.

@Poker Joker Wow! that's hateful. I'm calling you out for your racist comment. Be better.

@christian Micheal Dunn the other shooter at a convenience store killing a teen cried on the stand when they mentioned his DOG. I love dogs with all my heart but it didn't make him look empathetic he looked like a selfish jerk not one tear over the teen he murdered.

@Nikia White See, these situations give fuel to the anti gun nuts saying "see this is what happens when you allow someone to arm themselves".

BTW: this didn't happen over a parking space, this happened because the man turned a verbal altercation into a physical one.

I wouldn't even say "in a perfect world", I'd say even in the most basic civilized world. There's a theory called "the shopping cart theory" and the basis is "if you were raised right, you return the shopping cart to the corral" and they continue from that extrapolating on how "civilized" a society is.

The kicker is: there are actually people who argue that they are RIGHT in not returning the shopping cart.

Now using that in this scenario: the woman shouldn't have parked in the handicapped spot. When she was called out for it, she should have said "sorry, ok, I'll move" but in today's UNcivilized society, women are taught to be "bad bitc&es" and of COURSE she wouldn't react properly and admit her error, HOW DARE A SOMEONE CALL HER OUT? "oh no you dinnit"!!!

@Muskoka Mike ok MikeCORRECT, if we were in a perfect world and everyone made the right choices!!! However, in the scheme of living life this shouldn’t have happened over a parking space!!!

It wasn’t his Wife. They were not married. Most likely being on Welfare and Food Stamps is why they weren’t married. They didn’t have the same last name.

@christian No one should get killed over a parking space BUT let's put this in perspective:
The guy wasn't shot and killed over a parking space, he was shot and killed because he turned a verbal altercation into a physical one.
Let's also not forget:
He wouldn't have been killed if his wife had respected the parking laws
He wouldn't have been killed if his wife had said "sorry, I didn't realize it was a handicapped spot" and moved her vehicle
He wouldn't have been killed if he didn't go hands on to Drejka

Yes, Drejka should have pulled his weapon and backed the guy off, NOT fired, but don't dismiss all the events leading up to that.

the only time he shows any regret or remorse is when the interviewer asks him about his dogs. not the fact that he took a husband and a father away from their family over a stupid parking space.

He showed ZERO emotional connection or reaction to the sudden tragedy. NONE.  NONE.


That was a roller coaster to watch, thank christ this guy got what he deserved !!

Watching that defence attorney was like watching a child attempt to convince a bunch of other children that someone didn't steal all the cookies from the cookie jar.... if I were part of the jury involved in this case I would feel as though he was insulting my intelligence with the way he speaks, did he really believe those arguments stood any fucking chance?

I am always astonished at how defense attorneys justify defending murderers with lies and trickery. I couldn't sleep at night.

Well even in a lost case you have to say SOMETHING as a defense lawyer if you want to write a bill, even if it's  just some mumbo-jumbo word salad.

He probably didn’t think any of it would work. Someone has to take these dumb cases in order for them to stand trial. An attorney is required to give their best to a case or else they face losing their ability to practice. Seeing how incriminating the case was, I can see why his best was so awful.

Same. I’m just sitting here like how can the defense attorney actually take himself seriously by trying to defend Michael. I mean it’s clear as day that Michael didn’t care about shooting someone because it’s clear that the guy he shot was walking away and therefore clearly not a threat. A normal person’s reaction to getting shoved like he did would have been to say like what the hell or whatnot not to grab a gun and shoot the person.


Thank god for video cameras. It makes me sick to think of all the horrible injustices that have occurred in the past due to there not being video evidence to expose the lies of people like drejka.


Someone died all because this guy was mad about a parking spot and got a boo-boo on his elbow. His head is warped. I can only imagine how the family of the victim must feel. That has to be one of the hardest things to see. :(

@vocal procrastinating 100% this. people can try to tell us that it wasn’t, but it is. And im willing to bet, that if it was a white woman who had parked in the handicapped spot, he would’ve either just ignore her or kindly ask her to move from the parking spot.

@Gifted Fox it's because he's black, I'm just saying it

Revise the races nobody would be trying to justify it

Can't imagine anything much worse. Just watch out for the defenders of this guy, they like to stalk the comment section spilling their nonsense of why the dead guy had it coming.

For me, I would rather get beat up and live than not get beat up but kill a father in front of his child.


That prosecutor nailed it. I am glad justice was served!

Yeah he did a great job but unfortunately the guy isn’t serving life


I saw this in a CCW class once. The instructor asked the class if he/she would rule this as justified. The instructor left the answer open ended in order to encourage discussion. But ultimately, the instructor said that regardless of the verdict, the shooter's behavior leading up to the shooting was unacceptable. The shooter was way too aggressive, irascible, and unobservant (he just let the other guy blindside him with the shove). I wouldn't rule this as a justified shooting, but then again, I'm not a jury of 12 people from a different state.


I carry too, but you have to understand what an imminent threat is.  I understand he's annoyed that someone who isn't handicapped is taking up the space.  That said, there weren't any other cars, that I could see, and the man was in and out quickly.  He had an aggressive reaction over a relatively minor issue. Being pushed is not an immediate threat of serious injury or death.  I've been trained with firearms since I was a kid, I'm 46 now.  Thankfully I've never had to pull my weapon.  In my opinion this guy wasn't properly trained.  Don't carry if you have anger issues.  He didn't need to draw.  Usually if someone sees your weapon they will walk away.  This is a speculative opinion, but I think this guy was looking for a fight.  If the victim had begun kicking, beating, or stomping him, this would be an entirely different situation.  Unfortunately, he's an angry person, with a lower than average intelligence.  His goal was to become police or military, but couldn't hack it. He tries, and fails, to use military and police terms. It's pathetic. and he took it out on someone defending his wife.  The shooter knows he made a mistake, that had deadly consequences. He immediately begins to spin a narrative, giving too much irrelevant information.  His body language, sentence structure, pronouns, and he's being overly polite are all indications of deception.  He killed the victim in cold blood. The detectives are on him from the jump.

@Kira the case you’re talking about is not comparable because that man was pushed off the edge of a staircase, hit his head and died. Drejka was on level ground and the worst “injury” he could claim from that altercation was a little boo boo on his arm.

Have several seats and be quiet.

Yeah the issue is that NO ONE has to be trained correctly to have the weapon. So people like him are all over just waiting for a chance to use their courage enhancer

Being pushed could absolutely lead to death if the person lands on their head wrong. There was literally a case of a landlord who died this exact way when his tenant pushed him, happened this past week I believe. Drejka was found guilty due to his comments he made to the police and because he shot the victim that was clearly stopping his attack and backing away when he saw the gun. If the guy had continued to try and assault Drejka, the sentencing outcome could have been very different. But if you go around pushing people while YOU'RE the aggressor, they have every right to self defense.


The way he acted about his little injury was so funny, I mean come on! insisting on greeting with his left hand, buttoning up the shirt into a sling... and then he completely forgot whenever he was asked to act out what happened.

If he was a better actor I bet he would be the type of guy who got himself in accidents and then sued for made up injuries

Yeah it was funny when all of a sudden his shirts in a damn sling lol he acted like he got tackled the dude literally just gave him a good push he wasn’t running at any point lol dudes a wimpy clown


"The defendant is guilty because he is a good shot" might be the dumbest legal argument I've ever heard (not commenting on the overall justifiability or verdict in this case).


It's a sick society when you think the right reaction to being shoved is to pull your gun and shoot. 🤦♂

Had he not pull the gun, he'd get his head stomped in the next second for sure. Judging by the moral character of the dead guy who escalates, at that point, a purely verbal confrontation to physical. His mistake was panicking and firing, since from the cctv footage it seems like the dead guy reacted wisely at having a piece pointed at him and maybe was even about to retreat.


I love how the cops were playing dumb on everything I love how they stayed they didn’t know what a force multiplayer was you know damn well they did also you know damn well if a cop got shoved like that they would of fired too that’s what pisses me off about this whole situation and the fact that If he would of said he feared for his life he probably wouldn’t be in prison. The guy just got shoved to the ground violently and they expect him to know exact distances and time elapsed between him pulling the gun and firing in high stress situation no body counts that it’s not like he’s at the range with his beeper lol . He definitely should of said he wanted a lawyer before he said anything even if it pisses them off or makes you look guilty cops can be very dirty and lie in there interrogations always always ask for a lawyer

Usually when a cop gets shoved or pushed or whatever, they are dealing with a criminal.

But no matter how he reacted, there were no words interchanged between the two men. Plus, he never charged him. The guy took three steps back once he saw the gun. In a situation like that, three seconds is an eternity. Watching the video, that gun followed that man.

Just that alone is enough.


The funny thing is that had he not shot the guy he could’ve easily gotten him fined, even though the other guy didn’t start the fight.


This guy just really thinks he was in the right, huh? Honestly, that’s what I think is the difference between someone like this guy and someone like Michael Dunn. Michael started the fight with the intent to shoot someone, the fact that he followed them and kept shooting and then his fleeing the scene shows that. He knew he was in the wrong, but he did it anyway. This guy thought he was fully in the right, he frames it like he was nobly correcting an injustice, I don’t even think he meant to kill the guy with his 1 shot. But that’s what makes it worse, I don’t think he feels bad or even recognizes that he did a bad thing. He just coldly brushed past it, and doesn’t care that someone died. He feels entirely justified and that someone died from his actions is just a side effect. It’s so gross thinking about it. It’s almost worse than the alternative to me.


I like how the investigators even ask politely.. Like can I call you Michael? Here in India if they knew who the culprit was he would have been trashed black and blue without even flinching for a second. I've seen so many cases on here. They really take it slow to gather all the possible evidences. They listen to their side while they already have their own proofs and know everything about it. In India it's over even before it starts.


If you carry you should actively avoid confrontation not look for an excuse to be involved in one.


Defense Lawyer: "He's not happy. He's not celebrating." <br>Oh, thank God he's not clicking his heels together and popping champagne bottles. He has 0.00000008% of humanity in him.

Defense Lawyer: "He's not happy. He's not celebrating."
Oh, thank God he's not clicking his heels together and popping champagne bottles. He has 0.00000008% of humanity in him.

I bet the only reason he wasn’t looking visibly happy was bc he thought he had to put up a serious+sad persona for court


Thank god they found him guilty. I was worried that jury would acquit him. Phew


The fact that the defense lawyer said that drejka was the real victim when someone literally died….


He’s not pretty much a normal average everyday guy. He’s a coward nothing more.


"He gave me no reason to shoot him but I had a gun on me so why not?" - Michael


Talk about a plethora of bad decisions.  You have an entire parking lot of empty spaces yet you choose to park in the one space designated for handicap/van accessible patrons.  Barney Fife pulls up with a hard-on for parking violations, and probably minorities, and starts a confrontation.  Alpha male comes out of the store and without have any info at all he shoves Barney Fife to the ground forcibly.  Barney pulls a weapon and fires against Alpha Male who probably regretted escalating the confrontation physically once he saw the gun and decides to slowly backpedal like he’s confronted a bear.  Fife, sensing he is losing his chance to shoot an unarmed black man, let’s lose a shot.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as senseless as this.


If you can’t use your hands or know how to avoid / diffuse a confrontation, and carry a weapon for self defense you should get some situational awareness and social skills under your belt.


Thumbs up for that prosecutor, great job.


it's crazy how quick he went for the gun, at no point did the victim show he had any weapon he just pushed him to the ground, it could of just been a fist fight but no he went straight for the kill, that to me is 1st degree murder, he had multiple options instead of pulling the trigger, he could of let it go and went about his day, he could of started a fight or called the police to report assault but nope he went with kill first ask questions later


Something I literally just thought of because of this case. How effective do you think it would be to require a verbal "gun owner's oath" upon receiving a concealed carry permit? Or, perhaps, upon the purchase of any firearm? Verbal self affirmations are an effective tool for overcoming trauma, achieving goals, affecting your mood, and much more. You're much more likely to perform a task better if you say outloud to yourself "okay, I got this...". What if we required gun owner's to verbally speak a well-written and easily understandable oath? I'm no wordsmith, but something like:

"This firearm is not a reason to start fights. It is not a tool for winning arguments. It is a responsibility. It is a last resort. I swear to do my best to avoid confrontations and de-escalate situations before considering drawing a firearm."

Do I sound like an absolute fool for thinking this oath might've helped avoid this situation? I mean, you're a gunowner now, you took an oath. You're going to think of that when a confrontation arises. You're going to think of it when you notice you're mouthing off, and probably start to de-escalate. Idk, anyone have thoughts?

I don't think it will really help much ( I am 90% sure I am wrong so any gun owners out there feel free to correct me) since to me gun owners are one of 2 types. You got responsible gun owners, who resort to using guns as a last effort to save yourself and then you have nut-jobs like ol' Mike did there. So you got people who don't need to take an oath since they are already responsible and you got people who would probably just say the oath and forget it the next day. But it's still possible introducing some kind of oath could help with these cases even if just a little bit. Just my thoughts.

Great idea - and they should verbalize it every time they strap their gun on.


Dude thinks he's a cop, describing the craziest on-duty story of his career. he seems so proud when telling his story


It took a life to get this maniac that thought was an authority off the streets. He liked getting into confrontations and it got one killed and him in jail for life. How dumb can someone be.

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


I have a question for any people watching this in the US...... is the threat of violence so bad that people just carry guns in their car? Driving seems to be a situation where easy access to a weapon may be asking for trouble. (Road rage is a problem in UK, I can only imagine what would happen if some of the muppets here had access to firearms) I apologise in advance for my ignorance 🙃

It depends on where you live. There are cities in the US that have big problems with crime, gang violence or poverty (to name a few factors) that contributes to high homicide rates compared to the rest of the country, and people living in those cities might opt to carry a firearm as a means of self defense.

In other places, people might still carry because even though homicides are lower where they live, they'd still rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it just in case. Some might say that speaks to paranoia on their part, but I personally don't see it that way for the majority of gun owners. There's also the belief that if more people are armed (and responsible with the use of their guns) then would-be criminals would think twice about committing crimes because they don't want to find themselves in a situation where they don't know who's armed and who isn't.


I mean, if you wanna defend yourself, you kind of should think of shooting the leg or arm, as that is the least likely hood of killing someone, I have often thought that people think after they have shot, so they generally have no idea what they have done before they have done it....

Speaking of, I can see how it is a difficult scenario, you are under distress and you act by instinct, so... with that in mind, anything could really happen, this person could've accidentally gone with a headshot as well, you never really know


he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. This man is the definition of a self righteous asshole. That man did not diserve to die. he wanted to protect his children. It infuriates me this man didn’t get life


Aubrey’s killer admitted he never heard him say a word. He was still chased down, defenseless, and murdered. Marquis came out of a store to defend the mother of his children from a self righteous lunatic. He too never said an utterance, was defenseless and slain. Both deaths hold the same thought process and energy. Fear and delusion is what was standing behind those triggers. One was coming the other was going. This dunce even admitted he never has been in a fight. Yet, he’s willing to assert that he has a full fledge understanding of how this escalated situation should have worked. He’s where he needs to be so he can think about all the times he wanted to be in charge because he had no real power in his weak small little world.

I don't really feel these two cases are that similar... Arbery did nothing wrong aside from trespassing, and even then he did nothing but look around and leave without causing any damage. The guy in this video pushed someone from behind and won a Darwin Award, both men in this case were in the wrong in my opinion.


This dude just looks like he was bullied all his life. Probably couldn't wait to get into an altercation with his "force multiplier"


Today. I have learned I will NEVER become a lawyer. I would say “yes, he is guilty. He thinks because he has a gun he can confront people no matter what”. I would loss my job so fast.

@Hyper Stormy being prosecuted isn't very fun either

You mean defense attorney. A prosecutor would be doing their job correctly for doing that.


In the footage you can see a guy in the blue/purple shirt standing in front of the store, where he immediately got away when Michael pulled out his firearm. Good quick thinking!


Alternate title: man not minding his own business starts a conflict he chooses to end with a deadly weapon


Drejka is the kind of guy that recites his Miranda rights every night before he goes to bed.


The fact that he feels no remorse for his actions speaks volumes! He's a pos.


"Mr Drejka was a victim here" - I couldn't have laughed harder at that sorry ass defence lmao


Maybe he thinks it’s the Wild West and it’s his job to protect disabled parking spaces.
There’s an old saying I think it’s biblical .It’s better to grab hold of a vicious dog by the ears than to get involved in an argument that doesn’t concern you..
He’s ended up doing twenty years and got battered in prison for sticking his nose in ,as well as causing a terrible loss to a loving family ..


He feigns the arm injury as soon as the detectives enter the room. Then forgets all about it 10 minutes into the interview.


this "man" could harass a female by herself for a minor traffic violation, but could not take a beat down once he's approached. Weak-minded individual.


Leaves home armed with a lethal weapon, provokes violence by threatening unarmed mother, gets pushed over a little bit, fires to kill on a person retreating. "Manslaughter"


16:30
Police: "Was the car running?"
Drejka: "I couldn't tell, maybe? It's so quiet. These damn cars, doesn't sound anything like mine."

God, as if I needed another reason to hate this guy; on top of being an entitled murderous racist, he's also one of those shitheads that feels emasculated unless he drives a loud car.

had a feeling that if he hadn't come out of the store, the wife would've been killed.


defense lawyer gave me super creepy vibes, he sounds so slimy whereas the prosecution lawyer was awesome! so glad this guy went to jail what an asshole.


From my point of view, and I am not taking sides here, All could have been avoided with just a few words and some "hands up"


For a while I thought that his lawyer was going to break down and cry---for the sympathy vote for the killer...


This guy is delusional. Seems to say exactly the wrong thing always


Solution: US gun laws need to be changed asap.


This guy literally blew any possible defendse for him😭😭


his interview was actually infuriating to listen to.


I live in Florida. I've been around guys like this my entire life. I guarantee you he's a Republican who voted for Donald Trump.


That first lawyer has the most punchabe condescending tone Ive ever heard.


You know, you don't have to implicate yourself. Better yet don't do the crime. Second best thing; i want an attorney. Sit in county jail until you are free, i mean if you didn't do it.
 That's not your burden of proof to prove.
These are almost cringeworthy to me lol


So glad we have different gun rules in germany


Lesson learned from this case, mind your business and don't get killed for any female.


16:33
Detective: was the car running
This guy: maybe it was so quiet… these damn cars
Detective: oh well its the car’s fault youre free to go


idk why he still allowed to carry a gun despite the previous incidents reported.


20 yrs and the victim’s family got a life sentence, just not fair!! He died in front of his son!


Sad he misses his dogs... but dont worry about the victims wife and children


it’s a good thing none of the people in the comments are lawyers, judges, or apart of the jury


Micheal did make 2 steps towards Drejka after pushing him, implying he's not done yet. He did not try to warn Drejka about the use of force but cheapshotted him basically. Up to that point, there is 0 awareness of any threat or premeditation, as Drejka will only then for the 1st time see his attacker after Micheal is already making those 2 steps forward.

The outcome of this case should have set an example in public that no form of aggression
Is allowed.

Did Drejka have to shoot, no!
Could he have shot in the air.. yes, i think it would have desired effect.

Was he surprised and scared, no doubt.

In my eyes, he's guilty for taking mans life, and him carrying a gun around well thats america.. him playing a role of some local protector warning about wrong parking could be easily seen as a positive thing in different circumstances.

Drejka was attacked from behind and Michael kept walking towards him.
You've heard many times, do not pull a gun if you have no intent to shoot. From the moment he went for the gun to shooting it took 2.5 sec, are those 2.5 sec enough for anyone to change thier mind  in situation like this... im not so convinced.
I'd shoot in the air.. i think... its hard to imagine as im not carrying a gun walking the  streets of america.


It's almost like the sheriffs were leading him to give the "right" answers after he confirms over and over that it didn't go how they are suggesting. Not a great interview imo


Did drejka know that the shooting was actually recorded? Because his attempt to justify his actions based on the claim that Markeis was 'taking steps towards him' after he drew his gun is blatantly false, and he would surely have known that you would think?<br>Thank god for video cameras, because if this event was not recorded, drejka would still be out there with his beloved gun looking to start more confrontations.

This is what happens when  possession of a pistol lull's one into a false sense security.


10:03 "then as I draw my weapon he makes his step towards me" lol he literally backed up then like 5 seconds he then shoots.


The guy actually steps away from him when he fired at him.


Those handshakes were the most awkward things I have ever witnessed.


Its a multiplier situation by going to jail (shanks everywhere) 🤷♂


It’s so sad because something as petty as this could have never happened if so many things didn’t go wrong. It’s a butterfly effect that could’ve been solved at any point. The lady could’ve apologized for her wrongdoing and moved the car, fixed. The shooter could have not started arguing, fixed. The husband could have not pushed him down immediately, fixed. This doesn’t justify anything the shooter did, but it just seems crazy to me that something this insignificant led to something like this.


How flexible his arm suddenly is when he reenacts the scene


Mind ya business, old man. IMO he had no damn business telling that young lady whatever he told her now a young black man is gone because this old man stuck his nose in someone's shit...lose/lose


Always lawyer up even if you are only an eye witness!!!!!!


Maybe when he gets out he will mind his on business and quit trying to police people. That's what the police get paid to do don't confront call the police


most of the problems in the USA comes from letting normal people have deadly guns, <br>if guns were illegal or just harder to get they could have prevented useless loss of life

you can tell he loves retelling his stupid story like he’s proud to have killed a father


never talk to the police, only with a lawyer present even if you are innocent

I agree! Everything you say will be used against you, so I believe you should always ask for an attorney.


Fight or flight makes people stupid. It is multiplicative with people who are already stupid. These people can carry firearms.

Not saying that concealed carry is inherently bad or anything. My brother's one of the most level headed people I know and he conceal carries. but in this case, with someone this stupid, he had no business carrying a gun.


When asked by the press about is he racist, Micheals response was “there’s almost no way….”. Maaaad


does everyone jus drive/walk around with a gun in their pocket in america? its madness!!!


This Happened Just Miles from my Home I remember The Breaking News the day It happened.


I’ve haven’t heard illegal parking get that violent


Ugh he's so sickening. He wants to be a police officer so bad. You can tell he's the type that says "I couldn't be in the military because if the drill Sargeant got in my face, I'd beat the shit out of them".


Dreijka: I need a force multiplier<br>Cop:huh?...oh...you mean a courage multiplier

Dreijka: I need a force multiplier
Cop:huh?...oh...you mean a courage multiplier


I wish he only knew just how to mind his own business.


3 things here .. 1 they did park in a handicap spot for no reason ... 2 he was trying to play cop and decides to confront her ... 3 he panics because he is a bitch and pulls his weapon ... dude BACKS AWAY and he still fires ..... that is murder


Best question, " would you approach these people without a gun".


50:00 i wonder what he was writing down at this moment? probably something like "oh shit im fucked"


He didn't want to take the chance of fighting back & possibly losing so he chose to shoot him instead. #coward


he's like "it was his fault that he got shot"


What kind of a defense is "He wasn't happy to learn that he was now a murderer"?!?!


He should of gotten more time based on The other 4 times he did this. What a skum bag. 40yrs when I gets out he’ll be in his 80’s. I guess 🙄


This is why you never talk to the police without your attorney present.


If you have a lawyer with a mohawk youre going to prison


I live in NC and there are too many of these fucking guys around, and they love talking about "what they'd do." Not a little. A lot.


"quicker than a flash" I hit the like button.


I live in Belgium, here it takes 5to10min for an ambulance to get to a scene. I understand usa is a big country. But 90min? I don´t understand this. How can it take that long? Is that normal for america?


Typical example of a guy looking 4 trouble ...hiding behind his gun <br>He should have got life if u ask me

Typical example of a guy looking 4 trouble ...hiding behind his gun

He a little confused but he got the spirit


“Does it affect you directly?”
“Well if my mother-in-law pulled in, then yes it would”
That’s a no then bud


This dude is the real deal. seal team 7/11 👌


Dude’s name was McGlockton and got killed by a Glock. Life’s little circles ☺


The interviewer looks so much like the guy from Pawn Stars it’s distracting.

Let me get an expert in here who knows over aggressive assholes with guns.

Ok best I can do is 20 years in prison.


god is anyone else cringing at the way the defence is speaking in his closing statement or whatever. it feels so condescending. like im a three year old and someone's overprotective mom is telling me how its actually my fault they threw sand in my eyes


Free JCS, YouTube.  We demand this content.


This is so sad. The fact that this father collapsed in front of his son and died before he could raise his children and live out his life hurts my soul. Obviously he shouldn’t have pushed the man down like that but the man could have just pressed charges for battery yet he chose cold blooded murder of a father. I’m so glad police came back to this case and did the right thing.

@The Ikon Channel This case showed that it indeed is. He paid a pretty high price for that. I dont think he would have been shot down when he just intervened verbally but he wanted to show his "alpha" status there. This ignorance did cost him pretty much everything. (watch him walking to his car kinda relaxed with hands in pockets. He wasnt really concerned)

@Carl Johannesburg I literally considered that in my original comment. What’s wrong with you? You don’t have to be so rude. I get everyone has an opinion but you could at least be respectful about it. And the stupid thing is I totally agree with you.

@Cody Parin he was a man protecting his own. mind your own fucking business and things would never have a reason to escalate. if the races were flipped he’s be seen as a hero for doing this

@Cody Parin  Nobody needed to die here. It's plain and simple. Marquis wasn't threatening anyone with serious injury or death. It really didn't escalate that much, and anybody who is well trained with firearms will tell you that if someone is BACKING AWAY from you, nonthreatening, walking away after you point a gun at them, you don't shoot.

We all should learn from that. Dont attack strangers just because you dont like what they say. Moronic move bitterly punished.

We all should learn from that. Dont attack strangers just because you dont like what they say. Moronic move bitterly punished.

@Cody Parin ‘psycho’? A man is shouting at his wife and 2 kids while circling their car. Maybe you don’t have the balls to confront someone that’s harassing your family, but other men do. Yeah he probably shouldn’t have pushed him over, but don’t try to act like him being pissed was unjustified.

@Schmidtygt I didn’t say anyone said it was okay. And besides I’ve seen at least 12 comments in this reply  defending the murder of that man. I don’t even see why you’re telling me this? If you feel the shooting was wrong then just say that, you don’t have to tell me that you don’t see any proof of my statement when there is- because a single push is not enough to justify taking someone’s life. Especially when there’s a video that has already dissected the situation.

@:Whatarehumans:3 haven’t seen anyone really saying it’s okay. Only one weirdo saying he deserved it. All they’re saying is he didn’t need to get violent with him that quickly and that situation more than likely wouldn’t have happened. Still, the shooter was 100% in the wrong

The father was the aggressor. The father pushed him hard after a running start and was looking at him like what's up, waiting for him to get up so he can punch him and fight.

I found the white guy to be very honest about his actions and the distant between them. And I am a liberal who wanted kyle and Chauvin to be found guilty. But I can also understand why Kyle was not.

Don't assault people. Period. The black guy and his girlfriend were looking for a fight after the white guy simply spoke his mind about them illegally parking in a handicap spot with plenty of spots around them. That was stupid and ignorant of them. This guy did nothing wrong.

@Staci W We shouldn’t encourage everyone to do whatever they want, break the law, get aggressive when confronted for breaking a law. This guy didn’t have to fire his weapon, no idea why he would do that, but let’s not pretend the fake disabled guy who shoved someone onto the pavement is a victim, because he’s not.

He did nothing wrong. If a MAN is arguing with his woman he should defend her and get the “man” tf outta her face. This weak yt man couldn’t stand being pushed by a stronger man- he’s weak and was butt hurt period.

@Frofro frofro Attack my family in a violent shouting tantrum and I’ll end up in jail because I’d do more than push. He wouldn’t have a chance his gun.

He pushed him because that SH was behaving threatening to his kids and girlfriend. The violence was started verbally by this guys shouting violently.

@J Money Agreed 100% that that would have been my advice. Don't bother people or play policemen. Especially if you are an armed lard ass that asks to get his ass kicked.

Defending his women from a argument? Be honest and don’t appeal to extremes..  he was murdered but he definitely was the first to physical but a push doesn’t make it okay to shoot someone

@Kim K you don't know if someone is unarmed. You can have knife or gun hidden

@Cody Parin Psycho? He was defending his wife that coward was verbally abusing. He drew a firearm and shot despite the man backing away. You don't get a license to kill because someone touched you.

@Cody Parin i guess you missed the part where he has been aggressive to four other people with a gun. This man is a psyco.

@Jasper Holloway Not the stereotypical racist comment. Yes there is gang violence but you cannot assume that every person of color isn’t carrying to protect themselves or their family. Guns do fall into the wrong hands ALOT, and it falls into hands like this man who knows his white privilege, as to how he talks to officers, and they act like they are equal or above the law (vigilante).

@Cody Parin If you watched the CCTV footage, Marquis (I'm not sure how to spell his name) simply pushed this man away from his wife. Witnesses say there was a lot of yelling which could have caused this reaction. However, you can see Marquis back up and put his arm across his wife in a protecting manner. Until Michael shot him. I also believe that Michael brought up that his shoulder hurt as soon as he was in the room with the detective. Now, I'm not saying you're wrong but I think Marquis is more justifiable in this situation than Michael is.

@Cody Parin If someone was harassing your wife, would you just sit there and let them in front of your children? Shooting someone for pushing you isn't the response.

If my husband saw some guy at the car window yelling at me and we had small children in the car, he would definitely push him down. He was protecting his family from this wanna be mini mall security guard.

@Zedmouse And that's why it's better to ALWAYS follow the rules. You never know when you're gonna encounter a crazy guy like the one from the video. Like I said, he did it to himself.

@Jan Lima I don’t think stupid is right but probably careless and a bit selfish which is worse but he was also a father and he didn’t need to die in front of his kids over a parking spot

@Zedmouse maybe not die, but he had to learn why it's so important to have some manners and follow the rules. He really had no need to park there. He was a stupid man.

so what? Who tf told him he could park there? he didn't look disabled, his wife didn't look disabled, the kid didn't look disabled, ALL OF THEM WERE PERFECTLY OK AND HEALTHY ENOUGH TO PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WALK TO THE STORE. He didn't to himself

@Cody Parin.. I’m sure you’d do the same thing if you saw a random ass man yelling in your girlfriend’s face, weirdo. He had every right.

@Michal Sextion pushed you to the ground than stood above you? Yeah he deserved it I would have done the same. That’s why I live in Florida I wish someone would try to do this to me

@Michal Sextion I think verbally reprimanding someone for illegally parking their car is a lot less severe than pushing somebody to the ground from behind.

@Cody Parin If someone was yelling and arguing with MY WIFE, the love of my life, I would too get confrontational, a man has to protect what he loves.

The sa truth Is that not only was he a victim of this assholes action but his own as well

Lately it seems that so many people are angry so we must do the right thing. I hate knowing that people are just walking around with loaded weapons. That man had other choices.

@Grimm Reaper Moving backwards isn't retreating.    It could be a lot of things.    Retreating would be running the fuck away, not simply turning and taking a slow step away.

Do that when a cop orders you to freeze and see if you're shot or not.   You most probably will be, because the officer might think you're trying to remove a concealed weapon, etc.

@Jasper Holloway as yes self defense and school shootings

@Jasper Holloway as yes self defense and school shootings

You mean "obviously he shouldn't have assaulted someone."   It's sad that people can't seem to think clearly when looking at this video.   The demonstrated action is violence on the part of the man who was shot.   Him taking a step back and turning doesn't indicate retreating, he could easily be pulling a weapon.

Michael here shouldn't have shot, but the idea that the slightest backward motion indicates retreat is absurd.

@Cody Parin I'm a little unclear. Are you defending the shooter? And are you calling the victim a psycho, or the shooter?

@Cody Parin I'm a little unclear. Are you defending the shooter? And are you calling the victim a psycho, or the shooter?

@bongobruh how is shooting someone okay? i was raid to use equal force not to shoot there’s a difference. he was unarmed and had no clue of the situation but seen him yelling at his wife and kids in the car.

@Jonathan Walker just because someone pushes you don’t mean you shoot. think about it kids fight in school and they fight back when have you ever seen someone pull out a gun and shoot at someone for being pushed.

@Cody Parin one how is he a “psycho” man was yelling at his partner with kids in the car like that’s an okay thing to do. yes maybe he wasn’t able to see the kids but to yell at someone for just parking there while they went in quickly should’ve not been that big of an issue you have to yell at someone because people do it all the time. he was concerned for his parter and i would have tried to stop someone from yelling at my partner too.  secondly he wasn’t even ruining out of the store he seen waht was going on and tried to stope because how could he see the situation from inside the store. in the video you can see him try to move AWAY from the guy when he seen the gun but he yet shot him. so you tell me how he’s a “psycho”

I agree with what you said. He shouldn’t have put hands on him, doing that cost his life. Smh

I agree with what you said. He shouldn’t have put hands on him, doing that cost his life. Smh

@Frofro frofro yes, that man should never have pushed the other man down. It was aggressive, scary, and certainly uncalled for however, the point is that taking a life is going so much further. The guy who got pushed had every right to brandish his firearm but when he did, the black guy was turning away and stepping back. The fight was over. That’s how it should have ended yet the white guy decided to shoot when the threat was no longer present. That’s what we in the western world call murder and it is highly immoral and illegal. You don’t get to take someone’s life just bc they pushed you. If the man was still attacking him, then it would be justified but that’s not what happened here.

@bongobruh That’s too bad, shame you wasted a whole reply only to say something so incredibly stupid.

@:Whatarehumans:3 ah I gotcha. Wasn't sure who you meant by y'all cuz the original comment and most of these replies seem to agree with you. But yeah there are always those few people who just don't get it 😑

@Linkreincarnation92 I don’t get why you’re telling me this, since my comment is aimed at specific people. Obviously the people that actually don’t think that murdering that father was right are not the ones that I’m addressing.

@:Whatarehumans:3 I may be misreading things, but I think the majority of people here are in agreement that violence is not the answer when it comes to solving problems. Out of the two, the shooter was by far the most violent and was punished for it (though not severely enough imo). I'm sure there are a couple of exceptions, but I don't think most people see what the shooter did as OK.

Y’all will really perform useless mental gymnastics to defend murder, especially if a black person is the victim. Even when there’s an entire video dissecting why it was wrong. I can’t bro-

@bongobruh It’s not too late to delete that.

dont go around getting violent and not expecting repercussions lol

@Frederik Brandt 💯 this. Moral of the story for all parties: don't break the law. This tragedy could have been prevented if a) the family hadn't taken up a handicap spot, b) the father hadn't physically assaulted the guy (could've just said "leave my family alone" and gotten in his car to drive away), and/or c) the dude hadn't responded to a shove with deadly force. This is what happens when people let their egos cloud their judgment 😑

Well they also train you (at least I was) when you have a firearm on you NEVER put yourself in a bad spot. I.E. yelling at a lady about a parking spot. Keep to yourself and drive on.

@Jonathan Walker He was acting aggressively towards the woman & 3 children. You don't approach a car like that & confront the occupants, that's how pretty much every road rage incident starts out. The victim had no way of knowing his killers intentions towards his woman & 3 kids, you can't fault a man for getting a bit too aggressive when they feel their family might be in danger. The bottom line is the shooter is 100% in the wrong, you don't initiate confrontations like that when you are concealed carrying a firearm, that's the first thing you are taught in CC class. This entire thing could have been avoided by the shooter simply minding his own business & not getting involved which is EXACTLY what he should have done when carrying concealed, this is 100% the fault of the shooter.

@commoguru What aggression exactly? I see him talking then gets pushed…. The issue is people want to be able to assault you without being shot.

@Frederik Brandt if you are inside the car you made a stop, is not the same as parking.

@FullMetal_ They both thought they were above the law. The family thought they could illegally park and physically attack people with no consequences and the gun dude thought he could murder people free of charge. Lesson learned.

@J Money He used his gun because he misunderstood the law and he thought he was good to go to use whatever force necessary to end what he considered a legitimate threat. Like street justice is somehow US law. And shit like you just said is probably why buddy was actually scared for his life and used the gun. His father probably said those exact words to him just like you're probably gonna say to your own kids and your and my father said to us. So you're perpetuating the same nonsense that precipitated this incident in the first place. On the other side, you and I both know people that are okay with what Drejka did even in light of the retreat once the piece came out. Setting what is actually legal aside, they would say he got what was coming to him for attacking someone unprovoked like that. How about we find a middle ground here where we can acknowledge that it's: 1. not cool to physically attack someone just because they said something to your woman you didn't like, and 2. also beyond insane to think you get to shoot someone for pushing you to the ground. There's no good guy here. Drejka should have been minding his own business, yes. Still dude shouldn't have run up and pushed him to the ground over words. Ultimately, Drejka was way out of line pulling the trigger and he's legit a murderer, but if any one person in this scenario had actually had a cool head and actually behaved civilly, everybody goes home intact and no babies lose their fathers, right in front of their own innocent eyes. I just cannot imagine the damage this did to those children. I give nobody a free pass when it comes to how it effects their kids.

I think it’s got a happy ending.  Two fewer violent people in the world and not endangering me.

If you do not want things to get violent, don't get violent. The psycho exited a building and immediately engaged in violence. Up to that point it was a non violent situation.

This is why 1v1 Street fights should be legal nationwide. No jumping, no stomping after a knockdown, just fair one v one hand to hand fuckin combat lol


He was there harassing the woman for parking in a handicap spot but was parked illegally himself.


don't park in a handicap spot if you don't have the sign on your dashboard...you wont get killed

a fucking parking violation doesn’t mean you should get murdered. if your father was speeding would you blame him for getting murdered?


If you get arrested 1 word  Lawyer, and this guy reminded me of tackleberry, and Karen 😳


classic case of mind your own business and dont start shit


Jim, I cannot express enough how your work has impacted me. Seeing the way you break these videos down is awe inspiring. Your the detective I never want on my case because I know you would get me no matter what. Your intelligence and delivery is impeccable.

Because of you and how you do this I have been inspired to go back to University and take Criminal Psychology. Truly interesting material. Thank you my friend and I hope your channel never stops. #Lifelongfan

Good luck to you in pursuing your dreams! I live hearing things like this happen. This channel is changing lives! 😀


I'M SORRY BUT FIRST OF ALL, WHY DO PEOPLE JUST CASUALLY HAVE GUNS IN THEIR POCKETS? LIKE WTF? fricking America and their laws..


Thing is , there were open spots. Just park in a different spot dude. Could of been avoided easily

oh my fucking god how many more times do i have to say this PARKING VIOLATION DOESNT NOT EQUAL TAKING SOMEONES LIFE


Is anyone going to point out that strange handshake at 4:10


This guy is such an idiot. If you’re ever in this situation you just say ”I don’t remember” and “things just happened so fast. I have no idea.”

- So where did he come from?

“I really have no idea.”

- At what point did you fire your weapon?

“Things just happened so fast. I have no idea.”

- What would you say if I told you he didn’t step towards you and in fact took a couple steps back instead?

”I would say that I wish that the entire thing was a blur. I’m just trying to tell you how I remember it happening the best way I can. I was scared for my life.”

Lawyers can be such soulless people. Both of them, not just the defendant.


He shot the guy only once, his intent was not to kill.
In his own (wrongful) mind it was self defense.
A woman (i saw on this channel) had killed her baby and lied to the cops....and was let free.
This man, yeah, shot and killed a guy, but it clearly wasn't his intent and he told the absolute truth about what happened.
See the difference?
A baby murdering psycho got away LEGALLY, while this guy got 20 years.

LOL she was smart enough to hire a capable defense attorney.


Zero self deffence that was murder ur life was not in danger he did not continue to assault u after he pushed u he was simply getting u away from his women because u were Ina hostile state of mind you are simply a nosey coward who should have minded his business


People shouldn't have a gun in the first place


Lol @ 50:13 , what the hell is he writing!? XD


tbh... I feel like the black man was aggressive (understandably) from the time he pulled his pant's up until the time he made first contact with the victim. What a weird way to ask someone what the problem is. pushing them to the ground...

Some might say it's a deadly threat considering the age gap...


That is the problem why is someone not teaching them 1. Mind their business and 2 they can go to jail just was well as everyone else…. Just stupid he really looked like he thought he did what was “ok” for “him” to do. Smh he thought it would be nothing even in his verdict he looked angry that how dare they hold him accountable. Smh


From the tape I see that the guy from the shop applied physical force first (so, he escalated the existing conflict started by the armed guy), and he intended to do something else right before the guy pointed a gun at him. The fatal mistake of the armed guy was to shoot in the impulse of feelings for revenge. Do not escalate conflicts. The big guy from the shop evaluated the guy as a danger for the family? I do not think so,  he, apparently, simply did not like the rude tone and allowed himself for the escalation. He is also sort of guilty, though, the price he paid was way too high. Peace.


I usually don’t feel much empathy for anyone, but this is just stupid. That life just got wasted. Someone died for NOTHING no reason at all 💀


I'm getting sore cause he pushed me... * moves around alot for 30 minutes the officer comes in* ohhhh ow left hand....


It’s fascinating to me that when the detective asks him how many steps the man took toward him, he says in full confidence, “One,” like he’s some kind of super-observant marksman; when in reality he just gave away that he understood what he was doing and was in complete control the whole time and not reacting out of fear/perceived threat.

Edit: nevermind the fact that the man actually stepped AWAY from the shooter


His response to finding out the guy died is so hollow.

Sad someone died because he felt trigger happy

His lawyer had the nerve to say the defendant is the true victim.....he clearly didn't give a shit about his client to come up with a better closing argument

Christopher Crentsil he got quieter but I think that was only because he realized that he was in deeper shit at that point. All he had to say was more to try to justify his shitty actions. I hope he gets the full 30 years behind bars.


These videos make me very happy that I am not American. Greetings from Denmark
