Thug gets a slug !

[God Bless America]

I said this dead, dumb unemployed never employed ,wife beating,drug dealing,violent hood rat....

Where does all this info come from? You sound like an angry judgmental racist. Every time you describe McGlockton you make it worse. Why are you needing to demonize him so much?

[God Bless America]

That friends is the worst type type of racism and the gun culture abhors it !

This isn't about the "gun culture." This is about killing somebody without good reason.

I wonder what goes on in your head. The "gun culture" justifies your shooting "hood rats" who embarrass parking nazis who yell at women?

There is not supposed to be anything different about defending one's own life with a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, or anything else. But for you, it appears, there is a difference. Does having a gun transform you into something different? Somebody not afraid to yell at women and children?

Do you see the world as gun owners vs. "hood rats"?

For Christ's sake this is not a crappy vigilante movie. Neither is your life nor your soulmate Drejka's. Oops, he's "Mike" to you now!

Wait, you're in OT. Don't you know the view towards blacks here? Racist terms like dindu nuffin and all the BS you quoted above fly right by no problem.

i still don't think this is ultimately good for our rights.

the threat, imho, did not rise to the level of deadly force.

Obviously you're mistaken, since he wasn't charged.

If you still think the thug was shot because he "embarrassed a parking Nazi who yelled at a woman," please make an immediate appointment with an optometrist.

[God Bless America]

Now the shooter is a “parking Nazi who yells at women”.

Yes we have witnesses who state that he harassed people who parked in that spot, to the point the property owner asked him to leave. We have a witness who says Drejka was yelling.

Why do YOU need to demonize the guy who defended himself?

He murdered somebody that's why DUH.

... you’ve been wagging your finger in people’s faces for days and you do exactly what you accuse others of.

Not true. My accusations and conclusions are based on the video and witness testimony.

Can you show me where in the silent video you determined that the guy was the first one to yell?

Never said he was.

So it’s at least as likely that he was speaking and she began screaming at him, which escalated it.

No, it is not. Drejka has a reported history of harassing people, and brandinshing a firearm during a road rage incident. We know nothing about the woman. It is more likely that Drejka started the yelling.

You low expectation racists are the worst kind.

Thank you, Mr. Gerson, but I will take the soft bigotry of low expectations over the active bigotry of stereotyping people as hood rats every day of the week. Because it is worse. What are my "low expectations" anyways?

You CANNOT meet an annoying verbal interaction with violence. It’s against well established law. If you choose to physically attack someone, you are open to self defense.

You CANNOT bring a gun to a shoving match. Or parking enforcement.

Period.

Period.

Animal reactions to verbal interactions is not going to change the law or what decent people do every day. I won’t put on blinders and let the community go to hell because someone might have an irrational reaction to “please pick up after your dog”. If I say that and some guy body slams me, I will defend myself and sleep well at night.

That was not a body slam, not every body slam justifies a shooting, and this shooting was second-degree murder.

Do you honestly think Drejka politely asked her to "please not park in that spot"?

Obviously you're mistaken, since he wasn't charged.

i think the sheriff is misinterpreting the law, which is opening up SYG to unfair or unwarranted criticism.

Do you see the world as gun owners vs. "hood rats"?

Depending on the definition of "hood rat," yes, some of us do see the world as "gun owners vs. hood rats," or more precisely as "legal and upstanding gun-owning citizens of any race, color, creed, sexual orientation, nationality, etc., vs. the low life criminals who use guns to settle scores, push drugs and settle 'disrespect'."

The whole reason we have gun control debate is because "hood rats" drive up the statistics. We have areas that fully bought into the narrative of the Democratic party, that vote 95%+ for the Democrats, then turn around and want to solve the self-inflicted mismanagement by claiming: "if only we could ban guns we'd end this gun violence." That's the part that affects us, the law abiding. That's why there is resentment in this community against anyone who is associated with the "crime culture of the inner cities."

I was the one who had an issue with the delay in the trigger pull in this case, but that's a far cry from calling it a murder or trying to create moral equivalency. At least the delay can be explained by a careful draw and aim. It's enough for me to give the guy a benefit of the doubt.

If Drejka *knew* the attacker was retreating and he *noticed* that the threat was over and he *intentionally* shot him because he was embarrassed, then he is a murderer even if not convicted. However, I cannot make this call on his behalf any more than I could make a call in any police shooting that the officer didn't wake up that morning and decide: "I'm gonna get me some fresh kill today." Speculation is not enough to make such serious charges.

[IVC]

He murdered somebody that's why DUH.

He didn't. "Murder" is a legal category.

What else did you get wrong?

[God Bless America]

He didn't. "Murder" is a legal category.

So? Doesn't mean he didn't commit murder.

[God Bless America]

I was the one who had an issue with the delay in the trigger pull in this case,...

You were not, and are not, the "one" who has an issue with that. There are plenty of us who saw McGlockton stopped before Drejka shot him.

[BTFlyer]

There are plenty of us who saw McGlockton stopped before Drejka shot him.

No...he pushed the guy to the ground..then continued to advance on him and only stopped when he saw he had a gun pointed at him

Not so tough against 115grains of lead was he? turned into a scared ***** in fact...then died...good shoot

[IVC]

So? Doesn't mean he didn't commit murder.

The burden of proof is on you. In criminal case, it's "beyond reasonable doubt." I am reasonable and I have a doubt...

[IVC]

You were not, and are not, the "one" who has an issue with that. There are plenty of us who saw McGlockton stopped before Drejka shot him.

Before he shot him, but only after he drew.
