'Stand your ground' killer Michael Drejka sentenced to 20 years in slaying over parking space

[George's Dilemma]

That’s exactly why we need to be armed.

Beyond that, Black men especially need to think before reacting. It really is chess out here. If you know the system isn't designed with your best interests at heart, that means the decisions you make in a confrontation with someone not Black have consequences that will extend beyond the incident itself.

Its like driving, better to drive defensive than offensive. Avoid the accident and you wont have to worry about that deductible and who's fault it was. I like what an inmate said, "if its not worth killing over then its not worth arguing over." Dude wants to wolf over a parking space, let him bark by himself. Not worth dying over.

So many times on here I see brehs talking about putting hands on cacs over this and that, and I feel them too. But you take your life in your hands reacting without thinking and the law will not be on your side. It wasn't designed to be on our side.

Anybody on this thread know about tactical and self defense training? Use of Guns. Like any info they could post? I’ve been around guns and dudes with guns but I was never shown how to use one. Also threat assessment, precautions... ???

You can find tactical firearm training in your area pretty cheap. *depending on where you are i guess* I'm in the south so maybe our gun laws allow that.

Another thing, If this was a Black dude popping shyt to his girl like that, I feel like dude would have reacted differently. Because you know damn well how quick shyt like that can go left with one of ours, quit underestimating white people period especially those bold enough to pop shyt against a black person cause 10/10 they holding.

Imagine taking someones life over a push, even if you get put to a hospital you shouldnt do that. It's Florida so expect him to be free

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

This dude gonna put the battery in these CACs backs 10x worse than Zimmerman did.

Mark my words it’s gonna be open season in Florida. Especially central and north Florida. Prime lynching ground.

That’s exactly why we need to be armed.

I'm the first person to tell other black people to get armed and be armed .I'll tell another black person to get armed and before I tell them good morning but you take the first shot to the chest it's over. He was dead to rights. Now had his broad been armed she coulda shot him right after he fired and it would have been an eye for an eye.

 

[Absolut]

Not at all justifiable. He's clearly backing off

He steps forward and hikes his shorts up after the push like he’s going to follow up, and only backs off when guy pulls a gun. Seeing The long pause in that other angle between pulling it and firing while guy is backing off is what should turn this into manslaughter at the very least

Again america likes to pick and choose when deadly force is necessary. If a black person pulled out a handgun when shoved we would see a different response from police. Keep trolling.

How would that have helped in this particular situation?

 

[DUCKED_OFF]

We as black people should just assume that white people picking arguments with us with us have a gun to kill us or use the cops to kill us!

This is how I think

A lot of black folks forget where we live and forget the types of games these white folks play

I'm not about to argue with a bih at all in public...you can talk and call me all types of names

Just don't touch me

I’m watching this Mobb Ties ep. 200 on YouTube about George Soledad Brothet Jackson , from the 1970s. Nothing’s changed.... the same things we discuss in here are exactly what they talk about on this show back in the 70s ... 40 yrs later ... this needs to be the era where something prolific gets done . I swear.. I can’t see leaving the same set of problems to the next gen. This cycle gotta stop. Too much complacency and inaction.

 

[Paper Boi]

fukk these hyped up florida cacs

 

[Yaboysix]

you can't be pushing cacs out here like that .. We know they scarey!

The fukk breh thought was gonna happen?

It's That Florida heat brehs...nikkas fighting over parking spots..

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

More people that illegally park in handicap spots should be shot

You think he deserved this? He was out with his family minding their own business - he stopped at the store to buy his son a fukking candy bar - until this man decided to start some shyt. Remember, the shooter has a history of threatening people over this parking spot.

"Richard Kelly is a regular at the store and says he was approached once by Drejka for the same reason.

"He basically threatened to shoot me that day, too," says Kelly."

"The store owner said that Drejka has a history of assaulting people in the very parking lot the shooting took place."

How can you be so heartless?
