The sheriff has, the DA hasn't made a decision yet. Which after watching the video on a large screen I cant imagine they wont prosecute, like I said if they dont the next DOJ most likely will. Regardless legal does not equate moral. Ill stand on the moral side any day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost_shaman Posted July 25, 2018 #104 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Even just punching someone in the face can kill. There was an incident about two years ago where a homeowner was trying to park in his driveway and got out and moved a traffic cone. A construction worker walked up and punched the homeowner for moving the cone and the homeowner died. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did the husband hear the customer complaining and then see it was his car? When the guy comes out to his car....where is the manager or did the guy come out having not heard the complaint? But still...where is the manager after being told there is a problem in the car park, its not as if there has not been before, remember Drejka had been reported to the police before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you see I have deliberately used the word "shove", because it has the harshest conotations you can actually put on the act without over exagerating it. I did this on purpose. He did not Violently throw, he open palm pushed the man away, and then backed off. You need to close your hands around an object to throw it. open palm =push, grab and pick up=throw. Over exagerating the act is a poor argument. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I deliberately said he was throwing the man because it was WAY more than just a causal "shove". It was a potentially deadly physical assault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skliss Posted July 25, 2018 #113 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I haven't seen the video, but I wish it had sound. For all we know the younger man could have been shouting "I'm gonna kill you!" Or the like. I've seen guys in a rage take a few steps back while working themselves up and then rush forward to physically assault the person they are arguing with. Sound would help distinguish more of the situation. It's too sad all the way around. People aren't taught coping skills anymore...or to respect others and to never put your hands on another human. If the young man had gone out and said "What the hells going on here? Or whoa dude, get away from my wife!" or any other words instead of laying hands on the guy this would have had a different outcome. Maybe the older guy threatened to turn them in causing the $300 fine and that caused rage. I'm sure there are parts of the story we are missing. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this case does go further. I hope that a sensible and moral decision is eventually reached and that the law is tested to become what it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he heard a customer complain. He had his son with him: Quote McGlockton, 28, and his 5-year-old son went inside the store. Before he goes up to Drejka, Drejka is seen talking to someone at the door...staff? Then the guy goes up to him, no discussion and where is the son? Are we missing the beginning of all this? Not justifying the murder. Just asking what happened before hand there is someone talking to Drejka, we do not see McGlockton talking him or visa versa. Is there another video of before?

By the looks of in the video, Drejka is talking to someone at the door, McGlockton walks up from the side and shoves Drejka, chances are Drejka may not even have known it was his car. Some big black guy comes upto you and shoves you??? Hmm...dodgy situation to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skliss Posted July 25, 2018 #124 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Again, I wish there had been sound, we don't know if there were verbal threats of more violence. And I'm not saying that the younger guy would have gone thru with it, but if he were angry or convincing enough the older guy might have thought so. It's a tough call all the way around. As a woman I know that a man can throw me to the ground hard enough to cause major damage or even death or just land one punch hard enough that will kill me. Females walk around every day of our lives knowing that to be a fact. Maybe, as a disabled man, he walks around with that fear always in the back of his head too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
