Stand your ground nonsense.

One guy gets killed after pushing the other to the ground.

Quote:
A man who was captured on surveillance video fatally shooting another man in Clearwater, Florida, during a parking-spot spat as his young son watched nearby will not be arrested or charged by police, according to Pinellas County Sheriff.

"I don't make the law. I enforce the law," Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference today. "The law in the state of Florida today is that people have a right to stand their ground and have a right to defend themselves when they believe that they are in harm."

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, around 3:28 p.m. Thursday, Britany Jacobs, 24, was sitting in her car in a handicapped parking space outside a Circle A Food Store while her boyfriend Markeis McGlockton, 28, and their son Markeis McGlockton Jr., 5, went into the store.

While the father and son were in the store, Jacobs was approached by Michael Drejka, 47, police said. The two then got into an argument because of where Jacobs was parked, according to police.

"According to witnesses, McGlockton exited the store and walked over to Drejka who was still arguing with Jacobs in the parking lot. Witnesses say McGlockton forcibly pushed Drejka causing Drejka to fall to the ground. Witnesses told detectives that Drejka was on the ground when he took out a handgun and fired one single round at McGlockton striking him in the chest," police said in a statement.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It is with the DA it says. The guy could be charged. Would you be defending the guy who was pushed down if not for him defending himself? No word on why he was in the handicap space.

I am aware of this since its in a nearby county and been on the news a lot
The shooter s a real disturbing individual
He's an armed vigilante guarding handicap parking because he has nothing else better to do all day
Ask the store owner
He hates the guy because he is always hanging around harassing people using that spot.
The shooter was screaming at a woman and kids in a car. The shooter is a nut job.
Just disturbing that the shooter was looking for this type of confrontation because he is armed

If we've now gone to shooting people who shove you hard enough to make you fall, it's a sad law. And yes, the shover should have been charged with assault for that.

What is sad is that the media came to Martin's defense but this case will probably hardly get a peep.

Plus it looks like the shooter was in that situation because he was playing vigilante and started a confrontation.

Similar to the Zimmerman case.
