Looking at the video, that was one heavy handed knock down. The guy hits the ground hard.
When you hit to the ground that hard, not knowing its coming, you get a bit disoriented and a bit in shock, the guy didn’t see it coming. You get scared, big time.
Then look at the flip of the gun after the shot goes off.
The attacker may not have turned to exit the fight until after the shot was fired. But really, the fight was on after the initial assault. Asking someone to move their car shouldn’t have you on the ground, waiting for a kick in the face to knock your teeth out.
I totally agree. What was the woman doing parked in Drejka's mom's personal handicapped spot, I wonder?
[In an incident over the same parking spot weeks before] Kelly, who drives a septic tank, briefly parked his tanker in this handicapped spot outside the Circle A Food Store before running inside this store for a beverage. When he came out, he saw Drejka taking pictures of his vehicle.
"He asked me (if) was I handicapped, and I said, 'Obviously, I'm driving a tanker. I'm not handicapped.' And I asked if was he handicapped and he stated 'No, my mom is,'" Kelly said.
================
Drejka was totally justified.
Blind sided push to the ground will get you shot every time in Texas.
Some seem to suggest that even if the fella's teeth were splayed all over the ground from the kick that the thug was clearly setting up for, and the girlfriend's high heel was grinding into his right eye while he lay there choking on his own blood, that he had no right to shoot as long as the thugs were taking a step back when they saw the gun...
