    He drew, aimed, thought and shot because he was mad, unjustified.

    Wrong.

    And its not about a "right to kill him", its about a right to stop the threat.

    If that involves a bullet that end up being fatal-so be it.

    many men back up before throwing another punch or beginning an assault. He did not retreat he was still facing his victim who was still hurt and on the ground. Its a valid shooting. Dont like the outcome dont assault people by violently pushing them onto concrete. I would view that as this person is trying to kill me and would have done the exact same thing. Better him dead than take a chance and have him pull a gun or continue to attack me. He was NOT retreating, he retreated only AFTER he got shot.

    You don't know what is in is head.

    And the facts of the case, as well as the law enforcement conclusion-was that it was justified.

    The state attorney will look at this and decide there's no way he can show the shooter did not have a reasonable fear.
    No charges.

    Hahahahahaha...right...he's going to throw a punch at a man pointing a gun at him while he's backing away. He was nowhere close enough to hit Drejka with a punch at that point.
    Of course you would think he's trying to kill you. You're just like Drejka. My lord....please put me on ignore.

    A cop was killed in this situation here on sunday. The guy threw a rock at his head. He then violently killed the cop with the cops own gun. So please try to be more informed.

    Well it seems as though we will have to wait for a court to determine if he was wrong or not. We just don't know what would have happened if the gun were not drawn or fired, nor do we know what was going on in Drejka's head at the time either. We both see the same video and come to different conclusions probably based on age difference and past experiences.

    And you think those two situations are the same do you? Seriously...I thought you were going to put me on ignore?

    Trust me....age and past experiences are NOT the reason we see the video differently.

    Then there is no evidence of wrong doing. This is not a race issue if there is evidence it would go to court and if there is no evidence it won't.

    It won't go to trial because the state attorney will look at the investigation and decide he cannot persuade a jury there was no basis for the claim of reasonable fear.

    The shooter will not be charged. He clearly acted in self defense.
    Beyond that whenever a violent felon dies it serves the common good.

    They could do that even if it went to trial and he was found not guilty.

    You don't know what was in his head, and law enforcement has determined otherwise.

    And there's not a thing you can do about that, is there?

    They could, but it would be a loser.

    Yup, and its probably already been done.

    No way this guy would be found unanimously guilty by a jury-and THATS the standard the AG/DA would have to meet.

    The fact that there is video may have kept the victim out of jail.

    True. Civil court has a lower standard (majority required vs entire jury in a criminal conviction).

    Even so, with the facts of this case thats gonna be tough.

    True but I am sure the ACLU will find a family member to bring a case and base it on race.

    What's in his head is precisely the problem. I have no issue with defending oneself through force. I have an issue with a deranged person relentlessly heckling people over a parking space, the same sort of busy body behavior from my slobbering, chinless neighbor.

    What's in his head are probably son of samesque voices demanding expiation of parking infidels.

    No doubt. Somewhere Al Sharpton is getting on a private jet.

    See, lets say thats true.

    You can't prove it.

    You can't control it.

    And you can't do anything about it.

    So its futile.

    Totalitarians seek to control what others think.

    It does not end up well.
