Hopefully Floridians are going to the polls this fall. Because if they choose to allow these lawmakers pass these stupid ass gun laws, then they're doomed. Convict the guy who shot Markeis McGlockton.
The father of three deserves justice. He was protecting his family from a white guy who berated his girlfriend.
Okay, a Clearwater man was gunned down by another man over a freaking parking spot. The man claims "self defense" under Florida's Stand Your Ground law.
Remember that law protected George Zimmerman when he killed Trayvon Martin. Now it's being used in the death of Markeis McGlockton. This white guy named Michael Drejka was engaging in a spat with McGlockton's girlfriend at a local store.

He shoves the man to the ground. Within seconds Drejka pulls out his firearm and shot the young man directly in the chest.
Markeis flees into the store and collapses in front of his child. Within a few hours, Markeis was pronounced dead from the shooting.
Drejka remains on the scene as the police arrive. He said that he was protecting himself fearing that Markeis was threatening his life.
Britany Jacobs is left to raise her three children. Their father Markeis McGlockton was killed right in front of her. |
"This is a violent push, this wasn't a shove, this wasn't just a tap," said county sheriff Bob Gualtieri.
Drejka claims that he was a legally conceal carry. Gualtieri said that gunman was in fear of his life.
So he claims that there's no evidence that Drejka posed a threat to McGlockton's family, it was strictly a verbal argument, but his actions (the unlawful conduct) lead to his death.
White man with special needs shot a Black man over a parking spot. |
My anger is there. How the fuck can you allow a man to walk free after he commits murder.
His girlfriend said it basically. "[Markeis was] defending me and his children."
Now I want justice for Markeis and his family. This man with special needs decides to take action into his own hands. I am fed up with laws that make it lawful for white people to lynch Black people.
We need change.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
