Stand Your Ground Florida, Stand Your Ground

Then sit up, as he did. FTFY.



A rhetorical question: why are you equating this one guy with WorldStar? (wink, wink). Do you measure all assaults and batteries by the World Star Scale?

You forgot the hospital report, too. Oversight.

You forget that TBD is so clever he can medically assess someone with just a grainy black and white picture.

well, it was a video, yet the remarkable thing is that it appears that you agree with the assessment from Thermal that he was not concussed despite hitting his head on the concrete after being blind sided.... oh sorry, I mean "rolled off his shoulder" after a "playground" "shove."

Based on "just a grainy black and white picture."

Fantastic

That was a pretty good shot for a guy who was concussed and in fear for his life.

I'm just wishing I had you with me when I used to ref rugby. Instead of having to do a concussion test on the field for a player, then get the St John Ambulance guys to do a more conclusive one after removing them from the field if they failed, and having them sent to hospital for a proper diagnosis if they failed that one, you could have taken one look at them and done it all for us at a glance.

The vid is clear enough to see that he was neither blind sided or appear to hit his head. It is not clear enough to assess medical diagnoses. This is easy!

Why the World Star references, TBD? Not because all them thar coloreds are alike right? You have some skeptical basis for equating them, yes?

I don't see the shooter's head hitting the ground at all. The victim was not approaching the shooter when he got shot; but he was not running away either. I think Drejka had time to see that his life was not actually in danger.

I suppose the case could be made that McGlockton was coming to the aid of his gf when he pushed Drejka to the ground.

 

[angrysoba]

The hospital report? Why do you ask for it, you saw it and know that he was concussed despite the fact that he did not get to his feet for a long time? I would think that isn’t available, HIPPA and all.

Rolls off the shoulder, you do have us on.

WORLD STAR!

Why are people being directed to World Star? I mean, you have mentioned that people get shoved to the ground in videos there but why is World Star, specifically, the source to tell us about this incident?

 

[gregthehammer]

Wtf is World Star?

Coming to the aid of a gf who is arguing with someone is not grounds for blind siding someone and bouncing his melon off the concrete.

the sheriff made the right call, although I expect that the pandering to the community will result in charges, followed by acquittal, followed by outrage in the park in handicapped parking spots community.

 

[TomB]

Am I seeing this correctly? Because it looked to me like the guy clearly backed away. And then actually had turned away back towards the store right before he was shot.

Absolutely. Some loony with the inexplicably whitest legs in Florida is screaming at his SO, so he delivers a 'back-off' shove. A damned aggressive one, no doubt. Not battling for your life territory, though. It was over before he drew.

Wtf is World Star?

It is a very popular web site where people in the community post videos, lots of which involve members of the community stomping and kicking defenseless people on the ground.

It's where them darkies post videos of jumping people and working them over. Since all blacks are the same, TBD equates them with this guy.

TBD is my favorite parody poster just because of artwork like this.

But shooting the guy who is backing away from you after pushing you to the ground is? Even if he is never arrested, I think the shooter is going to end up paying for his actions for the rest of his life.

the sheriff made the right call, although I expect that the pandering to the community will result in charges, followed by acquittal, followed by outrage in the park in handicapped parking spots community.

I think if he is charged he will be convicted. But we need to hear from the witnesses on the scene first.

Impressive range of straw men followed by accusing ME of being a "parody poster."

Dream post.

You seem like a reasonable person. Since the OP is apparently incapable of explaining the vast differences between Florida's "stand your ground law" and the similar laws in 33 other states, perhaps you could take on the challenge. Do you agree with his claim that in no other state, (except perhaps Texas) would the shooter be free?

And let's not call it a shove--it was a push, a tap, a horizontal adjustment to the shooter's vertical ambience.

I don't know. I am no expert and have virually no experience in US law matters. I am no fan of US gun culture.

Come on TBD, there has to be a reason why World Star is the most appropriate guide to predicting the victim’s actions or the shooter’s reasons for fearing for his life. Thermal suggests one reason, but no doubt you reject that as it is an accusation of racism. Nevertheless you haven’t given us an alternative explanation.

Not accusing, my good man. Admiring. Your stances force people to look more closely at their positions, but in a comical way. Equating a guy defending his girl to World Star attacking is a little over the top, tho. Readers will catch on too easily.

I have explained it.

Repeatedly.

That is one web site hosting videos showing defenseless people getting the **** stomped out them.

Are there others? Sure. Have they reached the acclaim of world star hip hop? No.

The point is of course that being knocked to the ground does not in any way end the encounter.
