There was a significant disagreement between Michael Drejka, 47, and Markeis McGlockton in a convenience store parking lot in Florida on Thursday.
Drejka was rawjawing McGlockton's babymama, who was in a parked car in a handicapped spot, about the lack of a handicapped plate on the car. McGlockton came out of the store and clocked Drejka, knocking him on his ass. Drejka pulled his licensed pistol and shot McGlockton once. McGlockton died. (McGlockton is black. Drejka is white.)
The cops have refused to arrest Drejka citing Florida's stand your ground law. Cited were the force disparity between the two men and the fact that Drejka was acting from a position of disadvantage, that being on the ground. The physical part of the incident lasted less than four seconds. There is store security video of it.
A mob of pro-violence-by-black-thugs supporters kicked up a fuss and marched en mass to the convenience store so they could piss off the owner who had nothing to do with it and inconvenience his customers, who also had nothing to do with it.
Makes perfect sense to me. I mean why should anybody think that using violence against a smaller man twice your age is an appropriate first response for him calling you on misdemeanor illegal parking.
EDITOR'S NOTE: A different perspective than the one I presented earlier.

Is Drejka handicapped or was he just pissed because someone was parked in the crippled spot?
That's OK Howie. You can be wrong once in a while.
I don't really know Trey. The news reports I have seen did not specify.
FURTHER INFO. Drejka is NOT handicapped, his mother is. Also, he (allegedly) has a history of hassling people, especially black people, over illegal parking at this particular convenience store. Depending on who you ask, he is deliberately confrontational. None of which is illegal as long as he is not threatening.
