Florida gun owner who claimed self-defense convicted in 'Stand Your Ground' case
I'll probably find myself in disagreement with many in the 2A community, but here's my thoughts.
Drejka was not a parking enforcement cop. He had no business confronting anyone and caused the circumstance to escalate.
If you carry a weapon, you can not walk around correcting people. You don't even have to intervene in a criminal assault against innocent people. It's not your lane. I mind my own business. I may call LEO's to the place I see shenanigans and fuckery afoot, but unless there's an imminent threat to life that I know is worth protecting, I have better things to do than waste ammo, thousands of dollars in legal defense and possibly years of my life because some people are assholes.
That's just what I took from the case. Mind your own business, don't fuck with people what don't need to be fucked with.
Didn't see a thread on it, Mods Merge as needed.
The defendant, Michael Drejka, was accused of killing Markeis McGlockton in the parking lot of a convenience store in Clearwater on July 19, 2018, after arguing with McGlockton's girlfriend over a handicapped parking space. Drejka claimed he fatally shot McGlockton in self-defense.
