    I don't agree with what happened or is happening based on what I've seen, but found this interesting from the article posted, and seems to be contradictory from the video footage.

    "said she started feeling “scared” when she noticed how fast the argument was escalating. It wasn’t long before McGlockton came out along with their 5-year-old son and tried to diffuse the situation"

    I don't think violently throwing someone on the pavement is trying to diffuse the situation. Obviously, the young guy was not counting on the old guy having a pistol. He probably just thought, "I can handle this old guy." ...Then it got ugly real fast.
    Honestly, I don't know how I feel about the whole thing. Any single person involved could have acted differently and prevented it.

    Not illegally parking in a handicapped spot would have prevented it.

    Not feeling like it’s your personal responsibility to harass anyone you feel is a law breaker would have prevented it.

    There’s a lot of pride, attitude, and self-righteousness on all sides that escalated a situation that should never have existed in the first place.




    Someone illegally parks in handicapped parking? Take a picture of them and post it in the Asshole Parking thread like everyone else.

    From the article.....
    For your reference, Drejka, is the person who felt threatened for his life and fired.

    The owner of the convenience store in Clearwater told ABC affiliate WFTS that Drejka had assaulted customers in the store’s parking lot before. And Rich Kelly, who frequents the store, claimed Drejka picked a fight with him over a parking spot about a month ago, calling him racial slurs and threatening to kill him, WFTS reported.



    So.much more to this story if this is true.

    Who the fuck names their kid Drejka?
    I think you predestine a kid to grow up to be a asshole that looks for fights in a convenience store parking lot.

    Sister in law is a neonatal nurse practitioner and pleaded with a new mother to not name her child “Placentia.” Regrettably she failed.

    Maybe she thought the afterbirth was smarter and better looking...

    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    Maybe she was right?

    It’s possible, they are in Austin, Texas.

    Oh, that explains it all.

    Goddamn hippies.

    The good thing about the Californian tech influx is that it's getting too expensive for the hippies to stick around.
