This, don't even know why the sheriff made an announcement....out of his lane. The DA for that county must be neutered or something. Regardless of justification, the DA should have come out and stated a decision would be made after proper investigation. Which typically takes more than a half day in something like this.

That's just horrible to watch. Without knowing what was being said it just seems like a lot of regrettable action by both guys involved but for sure if you carry a gun you have a higher responsibility to avoid confrontation.

don't have much use for people who take a handicap spot away from somebody that needs it

the guy that did the shoving was backing off when he saw the gun.

another case of two bone heads meeting each other

pretty sure the guy that did the shooting threatened to shoot someone else at the same place a few weeks prior, maybe he should have had his firearms taken away before he murdered someone?

Jessie and Al will be along shortly

Where did you hear that?

This is one of the very few times where maybe they should get involved.

...been widely reported though I have not seen and official source.

The sheriff that did not charge talked about the other incident and how it could not be a factor in the decision to not charge him with murder.

I think he threatened to shoot someone for parking in the handicapped spot if my memory is correct.

Sounds like this guy since he was carrying was taking it upon himself to be the law on handicap parking.

He should be charged.

Maybe everyone else would be better off if this guy was not allowed firearms?

Unverified:



This is Markeis McGlockton's (the man that was shot and killed) rapsheet just for the past 9 years. {Aggravated Domestic Battery, 2 Counts of Assault and Battery, Robbery, Resisting Arrest with Violence, Disorderly Conduct, Grand Theft, Petty Theft, Burglary, Possession of Stolen Property, 3 Counts of Possession of Cocaine, Sale or Delivery of Cocaine, Possession of Marijuana with the Intent to Distribute, Sale of Counterfeit Drugs, Driving an Unregistered Vehicle, Driving on a Suspected License.

I wonder what the deal is with his preoccupation about handicap spots? Seems like a strange thing to get all fruit loops over. I think this guy and incident need another look by the DA. He is giving other CCW people a bad name for sure.

Several have stated the victim that was shot was defending the person or the persons in the car or said the shooter was assaulting the people in the car. I didn't see the shooter assualt anyone in the car therefore the man that got shot couldn't have been justifiably defending anyone when he assualt the the guy that ended up doing the shooting. Do I agree with the shooting? Absolutely not. To guys acted stupidly out of anger and one guy died because of it. When you use physical violence upon another person most times they other person is going to get mad. Both guys acted irresponsible here. Under law was the shooting legal? I don't know the laws under which it happened so I can't say. Again I completely don't agree with the shooting based off the video information.

If that rap sheet is correct I can see why the sheriff was ok with getting rid of him. But still not justified.

I wonder what the shooters background work was?

No doubt in my mind that the guy who was killed was a scumbag. I'm not surprised by his rap sheet and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it's accurate. You can tell just by his aggressive action when he came out of the store. A normal well adjusted individual would not act that way. Still doesn't justify this particular shooting though.

I'm not so sure. If I came out of the store (especially if my wife had called me for help, as is suspected here) and some guy is yelling at her and my kid in an (apparently) abusive manner, he may just find himself on his butt on the ground too.

I may of acted same way but that would open the door to more violence and a person needs to b smarter than that or risk getting hurt. My opinion is if you use violence against another accept the risk they may react in a violent manner against you.

Personally, if I was coming out of the store and found someone yelling at my wife, I would figure out what was going on first and not start a physical confrontation. It was just an argument, the shooter never laid a hand on her so the victim should have cooled his heels and at least found out what the guys problem was. Now, if the shooter touched anyone, it would be a completely different matter. JMO

I don't know your wife or kid, but I know mine,,, and I KNOW neither of them would do anything to instigate such an attack. Maybe you are more level headed than me.

Of course you don't know what he was saying and in what tone of voice. What if he was shouting profanity, racial slurs, threats, when you can out of the store???
