Looks like the victim's attorney may lead with this...humm

“You cannot provoke a fight, and then stand behind Stand Your Ground," Attorney Michele Rayner, who is representing the deceased's family said. “He’s hiding behind the law of stand your ground.”

He does have a valid point...

It should be a courtesy to have a handicapped parking spot. Unfortunately, it has become an entitlement.

Your worldview on handicapped accessability has already existed. It was deemed ugly.

No excuse to get bent out of shape over an arbitrary parking spot,

But it's not arbitrary, is it? The law says a wheelchair bound handicapped individual has a right to access parking at a public place with a convenient location to an accessable pathway with a ramp. This parking must be as close to the entrance as possible and the parking, path and ramp can't have slope and cross slope such that using a wheelchair is a fight and thus is of no real use. OR, just walking without toe drop is so bad and painful that cracks are real tripping hazards much less stepping up on a curb.

especially when that video clearly shows there were several other spots available.

Whether other parking spots are available is immaterial to ramp access distance, slope, cross slope, etc.

One of the biggest obstacles people with mobility disabilities have now is that many in the public have an ugly attitude towards them such as you display in your words here. Whether you actually hold your nose in the air as you cast dissapproving stares as almost crippled folk bravely exit their cars in handicapped spots we can't know. But when I drive to Costco and can't find one HC spot in the many they offer sure tells me we're not just a few.

Then the same people calling for Drejka's head would be defending McGlockton.

IDK man...being the person bringing physical force to a verbal confrontation that results in a death?

Here's an example where the shovee probably deserved it (in most people's minds anyway) more than in the McGlockton case. Didn't keep the shover from being charged with criminal negligent homicide.

Who provoked the fight?

Angry words are not enough.

I see the deliberate action of illegally parking in a handicapped spot as provoking. especially after 40 years of fewer good days without some kind of pain I have to ignore than bad.

So I see that abject inconsiderate action as the initial provovation. If HC folk let the able bodied walk on them they do. That's why the ADA came about. The disabled and their care givers were sick of being treated as a sideshow to life in every walk of life. Even if it's just being able to get out of your car and walk up to a convenience store.

That DOES NOT give one the right to get violent, which ghe old man had not done. He was strongly objecting to the HC spot being taken by an able bodied driver...no HC parking tag or hang tag or etc, which he looked for.

The guy who died provoked the fight with a violent push.

The old guy should have held his fire after drawing his weapon.

A old punk wannabe cop threatens woman then gets scared and shoots man defending woman. The same thug who previously threatened to shoot someone in a prior confrontation in the same parking lot.

Clear case of murder. His life was not being threatend. The woman was just as threatened. If he was truly scared for his life then he is a wimp that shouldn't even have a gun.
