- Jury selection begins Monday in the trial of Michael Drejka.
Drejka is charged with manslaughter for shooting and killing Markeis McGlockton on July 19, 2018.
The case is expected to draw national interest.
--
BACKGROUND: Britany Jacobs was parked in a handicap spot with her 3-year-old and 4-month-old while her boyfriend and their 5-year-old son went into the Circle A Food Store on Sunset Point Road that afternoon in Clearwater, Fla.
Michael Drejka, a regular customer at the convenience store, confronted Jacobs for being parked in a reserved spot. She claims he began yelling and telling her to move her car.
“He wanted somebody to be angry at," Jacobs told Good Morning America. "He just wanted someone to fight him."
At that point, Markeis McGlockton and the couple's 5-year-old son walked back outside, and McGlockton noticed the ongoing confrontation. McGlockton walked over and shoved Drejka to the ground. According to Jacobs, he told Drejka to back away from her. Seconds later, Drejka pulled out a pistol and shot McGlockton once in the chest.
McGlockton collapsed in front of his 5-year-old. He died at the hospital.
In an interview with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Drejka claimed McGlockton was stepping toward him when Drejka fired the gun. But, according to autopsy and investigative documents obtained by 10News, McGlockton was backing up and turning away at the time he was shot.

Hope he’s ready to stand his ground in prison
You're BAD 🤣!
LMMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
I bears the prison had some really tough white guards.
*He will make a tactical retreat to protective custody*
@Phoenix Son cause they know animals like to engage in violence when they are approached for doing things that aren't fitting of a human.
I’m not buying the soft voice and tears bull. He got out his vehicle and went straight over to the other vehicle like he was a cop. He had done this on a previous occasion, the shop owner said he was nosy. He was the instigator in all of this and a man is dead and four kids are left without a father.
If i go to the projects and a black man tells me or my family to stop parking in the handicap spot, I will push him and end up getting shot dead. I wonder if he will will convicted of the crime since I was the initial physical aggresor.
Well let's excuse him. He was dealing with the mental anguish of his childhood sweetheart being handicapped and taking care of his sick handicapped mother. So lets leave the poor guy alone.
sarah j. Shut up,honestly just shut your ignorant mouth and move on.
@@HRAHMAN91 What the suck are u uttering!??????
@@HRAHMAN91 The "victim" in this case committed a brutal assault that could have killed Drejka. But, Drejka shot him as he was backing away, and was thus convicted. You can't do that.
I know I have a temper and can’t control my anger so knowing this about myself I would never ever carry a gun. This guy was too stupid to see this about himself.
You shouldn’t be in a relationship either because you’d be abusive.
@@pamelaclary3801 shut your pie hole your ignorance is on full display.
@@pamelaclary3801 Dude don’t say stupid shit like that.
no, he just did not understand all the laws ok.
ok, both sides had problems, and each was out looking for a place to go to be a problem ok
“He was an easy target for my pet peeve.” Drejka is where he belongs. He has no regard for other human beings and feels entitled to control, use, and destroy others.
Dingbat
The other guy pushed him. Don't start trouble. It could lead to your early death.
@@nosuchthingasfreelunch6373 don’t harass people who are not bothering you and you won’t get pushed. The guy may uveitis been wrong in pushing him but he was walking away when the wannabe cop shot him. Don’t play cop and you won’t die in prison.
@@mdjb49 he was at a fighting position before he started to walk away after he had lead in him. Don't play with a double edge sword.
@@nosuchthingasfreelunch6373 And all the witnesses said he was backing away. By law, Drejka murdered McClockton. He was not advancing or in a fighting position, unarmed and not a threat. Drejka is a coward harassing a mother and her children who were minding there own business. He is dangerous and where he belongs in prison til death. Drejka had a reputation of bullying emboldened by his gun.
The victim had no such record. He acted out of a perceived threat to his family. He might have be arrested for pushing Drejka. But Drejka wasn’t hurt. Silly “man” will die in prison.
Drejka hoped for a “free lunch” at murder but as you said “there is no such thing as a free lunch”
he had enough personal problems that 'someone else's parking should have taken a backseat the store owner referred to him as nosy this is where anger and hatred gets you bad decisions usually costs a lot more than money
@Harry Johnson well, his "urges" will get plenty of satisfaction with Bubba, Big Daddy and Jojo. Perhaps in 20 yrs his OCD &his pimply face w/b GON 😳
@Harry Johnson that'll learn him🙄😩 sounds fair to me
Harry Johnson, You've stated my thoughts exactly. I hope this is a lesson for those who feel they have the right to take a life just because something minimal sets them off. It won't be like that in prison!
Viv Pace; Bwahahaha. Good one!
@Harry Johnson his pet peeve was black people
Thank you Michael Drejka for this interview! With it you sealed your own deal for 20 years.
I think this interview from this idiot is the reason he was attacked in prison.💯
He’s sitting there talking about how bad a time his wife is having and she is still going to work every day knowing they are getting put out of their home soon and no one to help her amongst other things. Even gets choked up when his dogs are mentioned. Then the very next question is what would he do different about that day if he could, and he says, “nothing he can think of off the top of his head”?!?!
Wow is all I can say!
This moron murderer instigated the entire situation, He went up to that vehicle all tough because he knew it was a female inside.I don’t believe as he stated that he couldn’t tell who was in that suv. Then when her husband comes to her defence (as any man with balls would do) this half wit, weak “man” pulls a gun? The victim steps back and he shoots him? It’s fucked up!
Does Brittany Jacobs still park in Handicap spots? Simple rule of public decency and common respect: "KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOUR SELF".
I agree that no one should park in a handicap parking space if you are not handicap! However, if you do, it is the policemen’s job to TICKET you. A policeman will not shoot and kill you over a parking space! This man had no right to even approach these two individuals. Now he will pay for it by sitting in jail and hoping all he gets is someone ‘pushing’ him occasionally. There will be no gun for him to pull there. He was a coward hiding behind a gun. Now he’s gonna pay for it!
@@monicah5324 exactly! I see people park in handicap spaces and they don't have a tag or placard hanging. They'll eventually get a ticket for it. Wasn't this mans right to say anything!
HI
the very next question is what would he do different about that day if he could, and he says, “nothing he can think of off the top of his head”?!?!
Wow is all I can say!
MAYBE YOU HAVE A POINT
BUT I still feel he s not really THAT monster u think he IS
Might b wrong, but?????????
interviewer was slick he straight up asked dude about that day and dude said he wasn't talking about it. interviewer moves back and round-a-bouts back to it and gets all the answers. pretty slick.
Not when you are dealing with a idiot...
Right lol I scrolled to see if anybody else realized it
Eddie Sakamura: I saw this differently. Can you or someone give the time stamps where this happens? Thanks.
Yep. And this interview played a big part in his conviction.
The guy never learnt anything from his interrogation. He talked himself to jail.
I’m disabled and I be mad when I see someone walking out of a parking spot healthy. But 2 things : you don’t know what people got going on and Im not a COP!!! It’s no way I’m going to spend my valuable time being the parking lot POLICE. He was an idiot.
I'm disabled as well. I dont look it I have autoimmune disorders that have made me unable to walk at times. My face looks ok people shouldn't judge the person on outside never know what's going on the inside.
I
have a pet peeve about people stealing the handicapped spaces too. But I've never felt like it was my job to go yell at them. Or shoot them dead.
I hope Mr. Crazy Overreaction enjoys his 30 years in jail to consider what "not my job" means in this context.
And I salute all of you 🙏
This is EXACTLY the type of individual with no right to be armed: no remorse, no mistake admit, no reparation, nor even an excuse offered to the victim's family?
Dr B This guy&those who defend his actions...losers
it takes 2 to fight ok hehe
No! This guy was assaulted and defended himself. He should have never been charged, nor should he have been convicted!
@@Inglesemente You have that backwards. The victim was the victim all along.
@@Inglesementeshooting someone because someone shoved you? Did the victim pull the gun on him to feel threatened? Such a snowflake
Yeah. This dude deserves what he got. He executed someone.
@Dra O yep, and it was ruled his "feeling threatened" was complete bullshit!
Executed? That's bulllshit or he would have been charged with capital murder.
@@Extol1986 Truth! There was no premeditation whatsoever, I do not believe Mr Drejka acted in anger. The man was just assaulted and had good reason to fear for his life. The cops had it wrong from the beginning and prosecutor was looking for some publicity. Tragically, a man lost his life, but the true moral of this story is KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!
Harry Johnson If he had said those things a year ago, the State would’ve certainly used it against him, I did not see that having watched the entire trial.
Were you referring to the 10News WTSP jailhouse interview?
@@Extol1986 If he spent time in the boxing gym like me then he would have known the difference. Of course, that means less time playing cops and parking lots.
So he wouldnt change ANYTHING!!! WOW. No Remorse.

That is sad and was completely avoidable imo. I wish peace to the entire McGlockton family.
yes, you are right this could have all been avoided, i could have not said it better myself !!
yes, you are correct, if only both sides would have taken a step back or did something else, all this could have been avoided ok
He did not fear for his life he feared for his ego.
He wouldn’t change anything 😂 I guess he’s cool sitting in prison
I think he's just a normal guy perhaps if the guy just tells him not to shout at his wife and give him a mouthful goes home and gets on with life then the two families could have lived a normal life there's always a few people who think they need to stick there noses in cops are paid to take care of the parking laws so sad a family man has been killed for a parking space and the car park seems to be quite no one wins life's to short your need to carry a gun around to go to the shops I never seem to find a video were he fires a warning shot or at worst case cenario shoot his legs
@@intoodeepstl314 nah you’re projecting lmao
I thought about that comment. It's obviously ridiculous, of course he should have just said I wish I never confronted those people and shot the guy. But I wonder if his lawyer coached him to say that in case they tried to get an appeal or something, he maybe needed to stick to the story that he never did a single thing wrong, and he was doing his civic duty by protecting the rights of handicapped parkers.
Aww he misses his girl's 🤣,his very special girls lol and I'm sure he misses them the most at night lol.
If he said he would have changed something he would be admitting he did something wrong. Can't do that if you don't want to go to prison.
"My whole life has always been looking for handicapped parking spots". Dude....seriously.....stop it.
He could have pulled the gun and waited for a further threat before blowing someone away....and yet there is nothing he would have done differently. He doesn't get it.
What do you mean "hold the gun and wait for a further threat"? The .an had just knocked him off his feet and was stepping toward him again. When should he have fired his weapon? After the second assault that could have killed him?
Wild Rose I agree. He lied and said the victim stepped toward him when in fact the victim stepped back(per video of entire incident)
He was already threatened... Justified
@@nursebev2249 the video clearly shows the attacker stepping forward three steps after the initial assault. JUSTIFIED
@@unknown-zf4lt then why did he go to that car and bother that woman while children were in his presence with a gun? This man was defending his wife as well self defense if this man felt so strongly about that why didnt he approach the man?because he was a coward racist when he told them that he couldnt believe she talked back to him sorry slavery is over. Shouldve mind his own business now hes a loser with a record
I have a handicap permit and if the parkings are taken by people who don't have one, I don't do what he's done! I just find the next closest parking! Unbelievable!!!
.......yes! That said, not all of us think that way of finding another nearest parking spot available. To some people like the shooter....who didn't see it that way.......so over protective..... over re-acted......boiled up inside......of a issue such as this one.
You need to return it.
I do not feel bad for him at all he brought this all on himself. I am sure that Markeis's family miss him more than he misses his wife. he can at least see her again.
His wife doesn't miss him. This big loser hasn't worked in 13 years, 49 yrs old, renting, sold boat, all toys, told cops he "can't afford hobbies" ... She can't be happier.
Don't forget about his dogs! He cried more for them. Not one tear for Markeis, his kids, or the girlfriend. NOT ONE!
Wrong. He was physically assaulted by McGlockton.
errgsd that doesn’t justify murder
@@runfree6249 yeah it does
Shame on him, he deserves to be behind bars, most stressed out people don't worry about other people parking and spots that they're not supposed to be!
ZERO criminal history. Trying to ask someone to move out of a handicapped spot. How many people out there have 5+ convictions and STILL get let out to go onto kill again.

@@mrshrek362the problem with that argument...is that the confrontation was legal...up until the hands on. If she had said, leave me alone don't talk to me (not evident as she opened the door and doesn't appear threatened) then he would be breaking the law.....each person escalated this from 1 tiny law to some big ones......
With all of these problems, the only thing that he could focus on was a parking spot??!!! How foolish of him. What was all of this for? Now his wife is getting kicked out of their house and he certainly is no help to her or anyone else now . All because he felt that he had the right to take someone's life. He has been convicted of manslaughter. Was all of this worth it?? I hope that he gets 20 years to think about what he's done. I guess he felt that if George Zimmerman got away with murder, so could he!
Too bad he didn't speak to the young mother and father so civilly. NOW, in jail, he's like a church mouse. His wife is probably pretty pissed at him. BUT FOR "his" actions he wouldn't be there. A lesson learned the hard way.
Sheila Askew he is mentally ill person. The exact type of man especially not own have gun esp hand gun hidden carry ???
He is a loser nut case. Doesnt he think hed cause major $$ probs if he used that gun even in or esp in a SYG case?
He aint rich.
This shows a lack of common sense , forethought etc
He has taken his gun out about 4 times before due to this obsession with disabled parking spaces.
Normal, he is not.
@jfsfrnd Exactly.
@@vivpace7049 totally agree
I did not confront anyone? Has thisndude even seen the video? He confronted her in a way where any man would have done the same thing. This dude deserves capital punishment imo
Chad Smath any man would act the same way? Really? I would have come out the store and asked what’s going on. He comes out the store and assaults the man. So he got what he had coming.
@@topsirloin4209 and so did Drejka!! Now, he'll be washing somebody's drawers!! LMAO
Lol a normal person would have asked "What seems to be the problem". Not just attack out of the blue without even knowing what is going on....
Matt Jones too late for that, now he’s dead and MR law enforcement is in jail, nobody wins, rule # 1 when carrying a gun stay out of trouble.
Abdon Ramirez; Too many guns in the wrong hands!
This man only did this interview to try and get financial assistance for his wife. But I love how the interviewer turned it around on him and got him to shed light on the situation and how much of a low life creep he is!
I think so too
you really should be more careful of your words you choose, because we can use those same words on you ok hehe
A huge low life creep , prison will be an living upgrade for him I'm sure .
You shot a man over a parking spot now you will wake up in prison with a man in your parking spot for a long time...😂😂😂😂😂
Not only that, he’s gonna learn how to drive stick shift and reverse right on the parking spot.
🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮
You can tell that he is carefully answering questions to try and paint himself as a compassionate, easy going and normal man who reacted the way anyone else might...
The fact that he doesn’t come close to shedding a tear when Marquis’ death is mentioned but the water works are on display when asked about his two dogs...really? You think that’s gonna work on any of us? You’re sorely mistaken. Even if you did react in self defense (which you didn’t), the fact you took that mans life away from his children and wife should warrant deep regret and crying would seem very appropriate. He doesn’t even come close and it’s downright shameful.
no !!!
This guy went looking for a fight with a gun on his person. This was not his first encounter with a parking spot.c
Sad thing is he knew where to find it :(
He's mentally ill, and he was sponging off of his wife. I feel for her. Notice how he gets more emotional about his dogs?
The Future he gives mentally ill people a bad name. Most mentally ill people don’t go around shooting people.
Strike as borderline disorder !
Borderline personality
He Dogs? He took A Man's life! What about Him & His Family?
Had enough $$ to retire but didn't own his house???
And his wife worked the entire time. But he had plenty of time to play parking monitor. Why didn’t he just get a job with parking enforcement, even for a few years.
This isnt going to get you an early release mate, enjoy prison.

Well, Michael Drejka was finally convicted in a court of law on manslaughter charges on Friday, August 23, 2019. Michael Drejka made his bed now he can lay in it.
lo you’ve probably never been attacked. You must not have much experience in life to feel the way you do so I forgive your harsh words towards him. I believe him
lo I didn’t mean what I just wrote you in a bad way. At all. You know your right about actions. They tell the truth more then words. and it seems people are forgetting that the man came out and physically shoved him to ground, And me being someone has who has experienced a physically assault I understand the panic.

After he was shoved to the ground he was no longer being attacked and there was no longer and never was a threat on his life, the ‘aggressor’ actually started stepping back away from him!

Both were wrong. Mcglockton didn't have to knock the guy to the ground and Drejka didn't have to shoot to kill. Two guys took things to extremes and both paid the price.
yes, thank you
Okay, yes point taken. But one mistake is simple words and not a crime, and the other is physical violence and criminal. Try not to compare these two mistakes again.
Marqueese got what he asked for.
I do not hate anybody, only people that park in the handicap spots without a placard
Right! So much worse than murder 🙄
“I’m a very hands off type of person”
Unless he has his hand on his gun and finger on the trigger.
Just viewing the full trial but curious as to how fast he got off a round. He already had around in the chamber? Sounds like he was looking for trouble. Again, no gun expert by any means. Just find out highly questionable.
hes a coward and a troublemaker fight for a parking spot.
...not to mention the fact that it was not a parking space that he needed...
Self-appointed handicapped parking enforcement for a business he doesn't own and doesn't work at, and has been previously told by the owner to stop causing trouble as self-appointed parking lot sheriff. Has nothing productive to do in life but has incredible passion and energy to confront people over where they park in a nearly empty lot and brings a gun in case he has to murder anyone who resents his aggressive confrontation to a woman and child over a parking spot in an empty lot he doesn't have authority over.

That's exactly what I thought!!
Yup!!! Pretty sad! 😔 I don’t feel bad for him at all😡
0:10 That look when you realized that the police and the courts won't shield you from prosecution.
I really don’t understand what this man was trying to prove being the handicap parking police at a convenient store as like a hobby, that’s just bizarre to me. You poke a stick at snake enough times eventually your going to get bit.
First of all, you're not suppose to approach anyone's car and pick a fight with them over parking illegally. If you want to call the police and report someone for parking illegally, that's fine. But don't assume that you yourself can approach someone for parking in a handicapped space! This man deserves to be incarcerated.
you are right about one thing, no one has any idea who is in the car or who is with the car Mr. glockton was already a criminal had a felony on him already, so he committed another felony and had Mr. Drejka called the police and and not feared for his life, Mr. glockton would have gone to jail on another felony charge, so your point is ?

@@vivpace7049 very true
@Nicolelovesbeauty,
The problem there is if he found a job then there would be no time for him to do what it seems that he loved to do which was to play the fake role of a "wanna be" parking space cop.
That would crimp his wild life style!
That man he killed loved his spouse too and had the right and responsibility to protect her so we don't care about his worries of his wife now.
spouse, ok they was not even married ok, so there can be no spouse, that is for married couples only ok, what are you even talking about saying he was protecting ok, no he was not he saw a white man and because the black people was racist the black man attack the white man ok, get your facts right ok hehe, or stop commenting when you really do not understand what is really going on ok hehe
I get it, but he didn’t have to squeeze.
true, i like your comment, it is a judgement call, to pull the trigger or not to pull the trigger is the question, everyone makes mistakes at times, but keep in mind he was pushed very hard from behind and had no idea what just happen, plus Mr. Mcglockton already had one felony on him at the time, i think to many people her are not thinking this all the way out !!
Exactly Right!!!!!, you hit the nail on the head. The man was retreating.
Just an average guy who carries a gun and has major anger issues.
20 years seems a light sentence. He's still not living up to what he did and is mostly sorry for himself.
Thank God it’s 20 years though. Usually manslaughter is a lighter sentence!
@@niomisingh8871 not if you're white! Go to new york. They are giving "diverse" defendants less than 7 years for manslaughter.

I think he' was shocked by the guy shoving him so violently its very common for someone to punch you and you to smash your head on the pavement killing you the guy could have killed him there was extreme power in the shove but there was no audio if he was racist in his comments to the guys wife but I don't think even if he was there's no excuse for violence don't think the white guy set out to killl anyone
@эмиль к. honestly he should’ve done 7 years anything under 10.
Because of the "stand your ground law" he thought he would escape instigating trouble and killing someone when they defended themselve

Its really pure comedy gold in fact im going to save it for a laugh now and then putting the tragedy of the poor murdered father aside think of it as an SNL sketch.
Thanks for making this near impossible to hear.
NOBODY handled this situation properly or maturely. This turnout could have been prevented at so many points. Sad.
you are right, just because a person is confronting you or your wife , but not putting thier hands on you or on your wife, does not give anyone the right to put thier hands on another person, Mr. Mcglockton did commit a felony by pushing Mr. Drejka down like he did, but the threat did stop once Mr. Drejka pull his firearm, he just should not have pulled the trigger, but if Mr. Mcglockton kept coming at him, thats when Mr. Drejka should have said, STOP, DO NOT MOVE and then if Mr. Mcglockton still came at Mr. Drejka then he had the right to shot him,. but if did not have time to tell him to stop and do not move because of the threat, this would have been seen on the video, as it was Mr. Drejka did say he saw Mr. Mcglockton taking a step towards him, while Mr. Drejka was sitting or laying on the ground and was a bit daze from the push to the ground. now i will also add, Mr. Mcglockton was not retreating until after he got shot, he was standing there in such a stance acting like a bulldog, protecting its owner, ok normally this would have been a good thing, but at times it is a wrong thing to do, if Mr. Mvglockton had turn and walk back towards the store door, he may still be alive today !!
@@stan121midling5 Pushing someone to the ground is a misdemeanor. McGlockton was standing there for less than a second before his third step, which is from his left foot moving towards the store.
@@dalekthump2590 ok, that would depend, but what this black man did was a felony ok, now i do not know where you get your info from, but i get mine from the Pinellas county Sherriff's office and this is called assault and battery with intent to do body harm, this is a felony in Florida ok, so please get your laws and facts right, before you go trying to correct someone else ok !!!!!
@@stan121midling5 that is not assault and battery with intent to do body harm and you should stop lying in these comments that you have gotten it from any office. The only convicted criminal is drejka and if you listen to the police interogattion you get the real view of the police in florida. Hint, they aint stupid enough like you think people in florida are. Drejka got convicted in florida.
@@stan121midling5 drejka broke the law with threatning motorists in road rage incidends with his gun, 4 whole times. Dont you feel stupid when you hear that,with your usage of the word criminal?
Just call 311 and report the handicap parking violation. No need to confront anyone about it.
This should be a message / lesson learned to all free wielding gun owners out there. If you pull a gun on someone and fire you better be damn sure you have no other option. This guy doesn’t seem like that bad of a human, he just made a massive mistake. Unfortunately the cowardly mistake that he made took a man’s life. Should’ve just minded his own business.
Mistake lol that's laughable. He made a decision because of the kind of person he is. Which is a bad person out picking fights so that he can use his gun. But he doesn't seem like a bad person. The evil always down playing the evil
He Killed. He is an Evil man.
Not a good idea to be the parking monitor for some other business that already warned you to back off. The shooter himself was parked illegally.
@@landlord440illuminate8 If only the world was actually that simple.
well, i do agree with you pretty much , but also this should be a lesson to anyone thinking it is ok, to be putting their hands on someone and for more reasons then just one ok !!!
Lol he tricked him into talking about it
Excellent interview technique!!! I am totally perplexed about an individual approaching another person related to a handicap parking space...Who does that? And this cumulates with a death! Something is wrong...call the POLICE?
Call the police for what. How about he just go about his day. They were not preventing a disabled person from parking.
A lot of people. Go look on youtube. Non-handicapped people who park in handicapped spots are scum... Certainly not deserving of death but they're scum.
What type of a person blindsides an individual over a verbal dispute then attempts to attack that individual while on the ground? When will your kind learn???
hmmm, instead of getting killed, how about getting charged with 3 to 4 felony's does that sound better to you?
To be honest this guy was wrongfully convicted, the girl in the car was breaking the law by parking the handicapped, and her husband broke the law by assaulting him and pushing them to the ground. This guy stood his ground the way that Florida law entitles you to.
All he had to do was call the cops and reported those people for violating the handicap space
I truly feel sorry for this individual
Acting out because of some handicap zone parking
His foolish action
Were so severe that now he's serving a 20-year prison sentence
Respect to the Interviewer he handled this so well at any time I felt the guy would just terminate the interview
nah, that guy was a moron ok hehe
He's crying. But when asked if he'd change anything? "No, not off the top of my head." Enjoy being shivved.
He did actually get shivved already
@@pete6705 Wow! Hit repeatedly by a sock with a padlock attached to it! 5 stitches. He's also gained a ton of weight with his working wife not funding his Monster drink habit.
In my ccw class, the instructor said something I’ll never forget. “You can only reliably not be prosecuted in a self defense shooting if you only shoot back.” Words to live by.
You can't shoot back if you are dead.
Tell that to the people who have died from being forcefully shoved onto concrete or beaten to death with bare fists. If you fear for your life, you've got a good argument for using lethal force against an attacker. This was a political prosecution.
@@jamesrockon9340, I would like to take a stab at explaining this to you. Markeis McGlockton shouldn't have assaulted Michael Drejka especially since it was nothing more than a verbal argument between Drejka and Jacob. However, McGlockton must have believed that there were not going to be any consequences behind his actions.
The "Stand Your Ground Law" in Florida can be interpreted in different ways, and when the jury reviewed the entire video they discovered a discrepancy that wasn't consistent with Michael Drejka's statement to the authorities, and when Markeis McGlockton shoved Drejka to the ground Drejka pointed his gun at McGlockton and that's when McGlockton decided to give up, but Drejka used deadly force and shot McGlockton because it's not like McGlockton kept whaling on Drejka while he's on the ground.
While Michael Drejka took a concealed carry class, he was only trained on how to use a weapon for his defense. He wasn't trained to enforce parking violations or moving violations in parking lots. In addition, Drejka has a history of paper trail with the Police Department, and some jurors who oppose concealed carry will view this as a pattern of bad behavior that he isn't a responsible concealed carry holder.
All of the instructors in the CCW class emphasize to their students that as a responsible concealed carry holder only carry your weapon on you for your protection and use it reasonably. Avoid any conflict at all costs because once you start getting involved in street situations like a cop you're NOT protected by any civil liability and you do not have the same immunity as a sworn police officer.
As a result, the courts decided to make an example of Michael Drejka and find him guilty since Drejka acted in a way that was inconsistent with his CCW training and the courts are sending a clear message to all other concealed carry holders that such behavior will NO longer be tolerated, so James you have to look at the whole totality of the circumstances.
@@jamesrockon9340 You don’t really believe that. And if roles were reversed, your standard would do the same. If he truly believed he was in the right, he wouldn’t have had to tell outright lies about how he shot the dude for walking forward.
The dude is in the store where multiple people came running in talking about the heated situation in the parking lot between Dreijka and his wife. Then he walks outside and sees this dude in his wife’s face close enough for her to smell his breath. The shove actually showed a lot of mercy and restraint because he could’ve actually knocked him clean out. If I see a grown man doing what Dreijka did to someone like my wife, gf, sister, mother, etc. I hope he understands that he’s getting put on a liquid diet for 6-8 weeks with his jaw wired… because I’m turning his jawbone into gravel with a Smokin Joe Frazier left hook. And I put that on my mother’s blood
@@blacksuburban2410 You would be dead too. Never escalate a nonviolent situation into a violent one.. When he shoved him to the ground he made a bad situation worst which led to him getting shot.
The lesson for everyone should be avoid conflicts and show restraint. Violence is not the answer.
If you push somebody, anything could happen!
Yes anything can happen so do not provoke.
I wonder how many posting here would care about this story if the races were reversed or just another black guy killed just another black guy. I suspect none.
Well we all suspect that if the victim was a white man just like him he wouldn't have pulled the trigger
His wife is helpless, yet he went out and got himself involved in some nasty nasty business.
Unusually strange for a person to “retire “ at 34 .. from his own yard cleaning business, I see this is a lonely man and has nothing more then a lot lizard
MAIN MAIL Manager I think it was due to injury.
Why shoot someone for pushing you over seems very extreme
Pip Savauge it made George Zimmerman a rich hero so now people are following suit
Why he did that? I feel sorry for him but he has to go to prison. He has to pay for the crime. That was clearly not selfdefense.
Feel sorry for him. How and why?
A normal average everyday person who killed someone over a parking place!
True! Ha ha ha!
Sure, I do it two or three times every day, most days. lol
Kick back son you will live to feel the pain you caused.
Very sad case. He should have called the police to deal with the disabled parking spot
i agree, you have no idea who can be in the car or with the car, they could have been criminals, oh wait Mr. Glockton was a criminal !! and high on drugs at the time too. this is a no brainier !!
Or just go on with his life and mind his business.
you are right, the only problem with that action, is 99.9% of the time, the people have left before the police can get there ok, black people doing this happens more then you think ok
@@stan121midling5 Thanks for not disappointing
True cause one mistake can be the worst thing in your entire life and you'll have to live with it
He started a confrontation, so he could use the stand your ground law and murder a black man.
He said this is new to everyone involved. Yes, dying is new for the man you killed and his family.
Now we should feel some type of way, because your wife is struggling financially.
Is that a plea for all WS to assist?
Wow the only tear shed was about his dogs n alittle about his wife.. nothing for his victim or his (pregnant) wife and their 3 1/2 kids! I can't feel at all for this guy! P.S. HE WAS ILLEGALLY PARKED
He was picking on a woman that he thought was alone. Imagine Markeis had still been in the passenger seat, Drejka wouldn’t have been as ballsy
Sad for the kid witnessing that
9:42 Oh my god I’ve noticed that kind of stare before... a teacher of mine was a successful psychopath and had this kinda glance that made you feel a punch inside your stomach, very uncomfortable, cause you start figuring out there’s something very wrong with them you cannot express with words.
@Linkendy
I noticed that scary looking blank stare as well. This guy has some very obvious mental issues and for the safety of the general public he is right where he needs to be,
Targeting his wife is absolutely disgusting. I agree he was in the wrong but to harass, threaten and target his wife is senseless. Takes damn animals to do that to someone who did no wrong. He's responsible. He made her a victim too. There is NO justification for blaming and threatening her.
Unfortunately for his wife, his actions have attracted the attention of those who think like her husband. Most of us, take note and go on with our lives, and then you have people like Drekja and this bunch of responding vigilantes. Some people just find any reason to stir up trouble. It just goes to show you that it doesn't matter what you look like but how your brain thinks, that matters.
I agree. His wife had nothing to do with this, however I can't understand how anyone could be married to someone that you have to support financially because they're too lazy to work and spend their days monitoring a handicap parking spot. I have no clue who she is or what she's like, but I can't fathom how she can tolerate being with someone so pathetic.
I just wasted 20 minutes. This guy is a nut case and is right where he belongs
He's a good man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If only those evil people didn't park in the disabled parking spot none of this would of happened. In fact he's the victim and that woman would be in prison for forcing his hand.
he had the responsibility to low ready and shout voice commands to an un armed assailant.. carrying a weapon is a huge responsibility.. i carry everyday and so far i have had to avoid confrontations because i carry. last resort to stop a threat, not meant for retaliation. no excuse for someone to assault any person so assailant learned that lesson with his life i understand that. my opinion is for those of us that carry.. carry to save lives not take them.
Is he delusional! He got out of his car, not parked correctly either if I'm correct in what I saw! How can he say he was confronted when he confronted this mother and her innocent children. He shot their father in front of them..omg omg omg
Hes a racist, weak piece of shit that goes around starting crap, then pulls out a gun. I hope hes beaten within an inch of his life in prison.he didnt give the man only protecting his girl and kids any choice.
@Pancho Villa give me a break. You're probably the type who runs around, taking pictures of people's kids in parks, and when they confront you, say they're the ones who started the incident. I hope he goes to prison. He'll live in segregation since without a gun he knows hes going to be beaten senseless!
@Pancho VillaTell, you're talking about criminal acts. A man protecting his kids and girl form some lunatic is completely different. What if said individual walked into the deli and got in you mothers, sisters, girls face? Would you put yourself between them or stand aside, acting like a coward, pleading for him to move away from your loved one? In that same scenario this look could still pull out his gun, claiming you're threatening him. I have no problem with protecting oneself, but the threat backed away and he paused for some time before he pulled the trigger, without the man going towards him. That shows the perceived threat was neutralized and he made a conscious thought out of hatred to pull the trigger, which will be his downfall. The same goes for in your home. You can beat the intruder or kill him in the act, but if you get him to get on the ground until the cops arrive, but then decide to shoot him for the he'll of it, it will be considered murder if the cops find out.
@@ralphg2771 If i go to the projects and a black man tells me or my family to stop parking in the handicap spot, I will push him and end up getting shot dead. I wonder if he will will convicted of the crime since I was the initial physical aggresor.
@@HRAHMAN91 you can't be serious. Of course the man who shot you would be charged with murder.
I'm a disabled veteran. A staunch 2nd amendment advocate. I was a Security Police officer.
Had this been me , I'd of pulled my weapon too. But I would never squeeze the trigger if the threat stepped back .
He should have gotten up , retreated to his vehicle and left.
In my eyes it's not a justifiable shooting..
WC Hayes We agree
Keep the pistol in your holster if your not going to fire it. Number 1 rule!
@@JuiceOg0311 wrong
you are right to a point, but he should have not left, do to thier was a felony committed here on Mr. Drejka ( assault and battery with intent to do bodily harm, is a felony ).
Values the lives of his two dogs over the life of the man he shot and killed, that’s disturbing
He said there was “almost” no racial overtones. Almost ain’t good enough, Jack😂
So don’t you come back no more no more no more no mooore! 🙏🏼🙃
the only one who was being racest here is the ones calling Mr. Drejak racest !!
@@stan121midling5 They always say that. Marqeeese should not have put his hands on a whiteman.
He looks CRAZY!
Talithia McLeod You are crazy
He looks stupid.
When he said he was confronted lol. They had zero interest in talking to you bro
yup, most criminals already know they are breaking the laws, why point it out right hehe
You killed someone protecting his wife and you missing your family that are still alive?
protecting his girlfriend you mean and protecting his girlfriend from what ?
That's why you have to think before you react or touch someone you never know how the other person can react..
Its not his fault. Its this dudes fault for accosting his wife and children.
This is always the first thing racists say to us when these things happen. We should have let the white person disrespect assault humiliate us... And smiled while it happened. Its our fault if we show we are human beings too and defend ourselves. We are worthy of human respect! Mcglockton and his family are and were worthy of this racist leaving them alone.
Periodt.
yes, thank you finally someone here gets it, so many comments and so many stupid people coming out of the wood works, but you are smart and have it right, take care :)-
@@stan121midling5 the man was accosting his wife and two kids.. Are u supposed to just sit by and say "yes massuh"?
@@JTScott1988 ok, what are you trying to sound like here ? and first off, she was not his wife, just his GF and there are ways of handing something like this, without putting your hands on someone, ok, doing what that black man did, if he had not been shot and killed, he would be in prison right now, ok learn the laws or stay in side and keep the rest of us safe !!
@@stan121midling5 so the law is white people can accost black folks with impunity anywhere anytime?
What a liar saying he doesn't normally confront people about the parking space.
Even the shop owner said he needs to stop doing it.
Any time someone needs that many words to say “no I’m not a racist.” Is probably a racist.
This interview was used against him at sentencing. The part about him missing his wife and dogs etc. I'm sure the State offered him something like 5-10 years to take a plea. He should have taken it. Going to trial is too risky. Maybe he's so immersed in the gun ownership/concealed firearm world that he thought he would be acquitted.
Why does this interviewer keep pushing the issue of race? Mr. Drejka is no racist, he was assaulted.
Yeah and his wife is black, so there's that too. Drejka screwed up big time, but I don't think there was a racial component here. Drejka dtill would have killed Marquis if he were white.
Well Damn dreka should have thought about all this be FOR hekilled an innocent black man over space he don't own....your wife will be fine but the man you killed his family, kids new baby will never be the same
Kim Bowens innocent black man! Lmao at you!
@@anonanon8507 laughing like you got evidence to the contrary
sorry, but Mr. Mcglockton had committed a felony, so he was not innocent by any means !!
People like you make me sick. Why "black man"? You've gone completely away from the reason this happened. People like you create racial hatred.
To be fair, the victim who was shot did not help himself by walking extremely fast towards the suspect without knowing exactly what was going on before violently shoving the guy down to the ground. That did not help the matter in any way. With that being said, the suspect should have waited to see if his life was actually in danger before grabbing for a gun. It's a no win situation.
She's been facing threats from day one and you can't be there to do anything. Oh lawd! We all know what you do about perceived threats. Good for everyone that you're in the slammer while your wife is being "threatened".
omg ,another fool with the internet, that thinks they have all the info right, well it is out here to bad you don't understand it all !!
It kills me that he cries about his dogs , but not his wife...
Ironic that he is so worried about his wife and his dogs, when the man he shot was trying to protect his wife and children. His victim’s wife has no husband and now his wife has no husband too. There is a bit of justice in that.
Hey that is dogist!
Do you h8 dogs
I can understand that …
