Michael Drejka: Deadly Parking Lot Encounter

[@JRAHIT]

Once he pulled the gun out and saw the other man retreat, he shouldn’t have fired the gun, period.

[@KevinModz65]

This^. He shot the guy out of anger and a response to the shove. Not because he feared for his life. It should at most not have passed to point of pulling out the weapon, that was enough to end it

[@TheApp9]

Right, even the „mild Argument“ striked me, when I push someone with full force to the ground, I wouldn’t consider this as a mild argument. What doesn’t make Michaels actions suitable for self Defense. He had way too much time, to see the opponent is backing up. Way too much time,to consider his actions and he wasted this time and made the wrong decision.

[@teribrod4017]

@@KevinModz65 ... Exactly,,,. but the real reason he shot him was out of pure embarrassment from the shove. His ego was blown in front of everyone. Therefore like the coward he is he shot him because he couldn't bring himself to take that loss.

[@coryc9040]

@@teribrod4017 both sides are shitheads. You have the selfish mother parking in the handicapped spot. You got the druggie father who goes into a violent rage and assault over petty arguments. And you got the self important parking enforcer getting into arguments with people that he has no business with. In his interrogation he admits there were closer non handicapped spots available, so what's the point? Drejka is probably not the kind of person who should carry a gun. That said I can only imagine how McGlockton would've responded in the same situation. He could've killed Drejka with that push. I know it sounds like exaggeration but all it takes is smacking your head on the concrete during the fall. If McGlockton was willing to push someone like that over words I have no doubt he'd use deadly force in response to deadly force. In hindsight we can see that once Drejka pull the gun McGlockton was done with the assault. But to pretend there are victims here is a bit much in my opinion. These are all bad people who all contributed to McGlockton's death.

I was taught in my CCL class that avoiding confrontation and de-escalating should be your #1 priority, even if it means looking like a coward, or apologizing, or walking away-- it doesn't matter. You inherently know that you possess the power to end that person's life in two seconds if you have to, so you need to be the bigger person and do whatever it takes to not put yourself in a situation where that's necessary. Shooting is a LAST resort, where all other options have been exhausted, and where it is truly a "my life or his" type of deal.
