More on this story from yesterday.

#18  It occurred to me that not charging this guy might be some kind of ploy to generate enough public outrage that the law gets pulled completely.

#17  Multiple occasions to defuse the situation, especially when the entitled woman did not back down. IMHO it was, morally, the guy with the gun who should have done so.

#16  He was a good shot. Broward Sherriff Department take notice.

#15  He initiated a confrontation. Something that is always stressed to avoid. I wasn't there but it seems quite iffy to me.

Yep, and what has he gained. Not a damn thing.

#13  He pulled the trigger long after the guy backed off.

He also got into a heated argument while packing. He was looking for a fight and got one.

#12  He pushed him once and backed off. He didn't go back for more. Insufficient time had elapsed to decide whether or not the assaulter was or was not going to go back for more. It was all over in seconds.

#11  First error in judgement: "Drejka scolded an entitlement woman...."

It went downhill from there and sadly, will continue to go downhill for Drejka. Better to keep your own councel and walk away. Whatever Drejka has accumulated in life will now be lost to legal fees.

#10  neither could imagine what would soon happen

Sure, the guy on the ground with the gun imagined when he packed that morning.

#9  As usual, the woman causes the fracas and gets away free. The police on site should ticketed her for occupying a handicap slot.

#8  Thinking about the chain of events which led to the pulling of the trigger. When each person left their house that afternoon, neither could imagine what would soon happen.

Whatever side of the story you claim, it should cause anyone who reads it to pause and consider what can happen in seconds.

#7  That's, IMO, how ethnic conflict looks - you are attacked (without any warning, I might add, McGlockton came up and knocked him to the ground without talking) you assume the worse and respond accordingly.

#6  Are any of these people actually handicapped (physically that is)?

#4  Excuse me! The man was not threatening the woman in the car. He wasn’t right up in her face or being aggressive. McGlockton comes up and violently shoves him to the groung, YOU, have no way of knowing whether he would have persisted. I’d have shot him too.

#3  There was no ground to stand on because McGlockton wasn't a persistent threat. The girlfriend should have just run him over out of fear for her life.
