How would anyone know whether Dreijka was yelling?

The surveillance video has no sound.

I screwed the pooch on the post. My fault. You never tell anyone, not your lawyer or the Leo, I shot to kill. All you say. You shot to stop and quit when the threat is gone. You stop when the threat is done. Clear the weapon when your safe then wait for the LEO’s. Remain silent till your lawyer gets there. That means STFU. You’re going to jail and need a lawyer from that point forward. It’s their frecking job to pin the action to some body. They should read you your rights. If you carry Wake the eff up, your gun fighting, this is serious shit. You have to Carry to win (mandatory), but you have to be prepared to live through it. Prepare and be safe. GB

“Instead, she used it to defuse the threat to her boyfriend.”

You chose wisely, I’m glad no one was hurt. But who paid for the damage to your car ?

This attack and the “retreat” happened within seconds.
***********************************
It’s been a while since I viewed the video but that’s my recollection also. Also the shooter had been knocked to the ground and his perception of a “retreat” may well not been as clear as it is to someone viewed a video from a high vantage point.

The damage was very minor. This was in the 1970’s when cars had real steel bumpers.

Right — generally speaking

Everything is situational. If it's a stranger you disengage and de-escalate if all possible.

If it's someone you know or know of, who knows you, and you expect them to try again...then that situation is different from the other one.

Here’s what should’ve happened:

Drejka: “You’re parked in a handicapped spot, and your car doesn’t have a handicapped sticker.”

McGlockton’s Girlfriend: “Oh, no, I didn’t realize that. Thank you for telling me. I’ll move the car to a different spot.”

Then maybe no one would’ve been shoved or shot.

The logic in your argument or the states, which ever you’re using makes no sense. Time and again I’ve seen it here and heard from gun owners: When you must shoot, shoot to kill. Period. A bullet entering the body at any point will hit vital organs, sever nerves, cause internal bleeding and shatter bone. All of which can be fatal.

“In short the law dos not allow you to physically attack some one over what they say’’. Then how does Antifa get away with it?

no. Drejka is not parking police. He should have minded his own beeswax.

So, he was a busybody. That didn’t warrant shoving him to the ground.

No. If you pull a gun, you shoot to kill. Period. Where the crap did you learn “shoot to wound”?

What is the first rule of armed self-defense?

NEVER talk to the Police after engaging in armed self-defense!

Based on what I read, I would have voted “Not Guilty.”

And my usual complaint - why is the quality of surveillance video TOTAL CRAP in 90% of murder cases?

he brought that on himself. i’ve never once checked to see if the folks parked handicapped have a sticker or tag. I don’t care. It does not affect me.
