Why assume he was screaming? Jacobs could have been the one screaming her head off. My money is on her being the loudest.

Doesn’t matter who was “screaming.” The woman broke the law and the “victim” attacked. That’s why the police found it justified.

Oh trust me, I know. I'm just indulging in some useless speculation with our anti-self defense contingent.

Here is an article that interviewed Jacobs - the woman in the car that was in the handicapped spot.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/victims-gi...ry?id=56751894

Do you see her saying that Drejka threatened her with bodily harm?

As an aside, you gotta love the article's statement that "... McGlockton came out along with their 5-year-old son and tried to diffuse the situation". So - suddenly, without any warning, violently slamming someone half your size to the ground is "diffusing the situation"?

An argument (what was going on between the shooter and the woman) isn't a fight (what the boyfriend started when he shoved the shooter).
I'm sorry....when you are in a car with your 2 small children and have someone screaming at you for no reason....you are probably terrified and think the guy is crazy. And that's exactly what the victim thought. He wanted to protect his family from someone he saw as a lunatic. My husband would have done the same thing as the victim. No one threatens his family. And all men should think this way.

I do.

But I'm not a big, strapping young man who can depend on knocking an assailant down with one shove.

Neither is my husband but when you see someone harassing your wife/girlfriend with your kids in the car, you would be surprised how adrenaline takes over. Your instinct is to protect your loved ones.

... and of course running up and saying "What the hell is going on here?" is just... unmanly? No, you have to, without warning, slam someone half your size to the ground. That's the right thing to do. That's what you would expect your husband to do. Right?

First of all he didn’t slam him to the ground. He pushed him and the wimp fell. And yeah I expect my husband to protect us from a lunatic

Well, I guess some women are just happy enough that their husbands are willing to get killed in their behalf, because in fact, adrenaline is not only overrated, but sorry, it won't be a matter of adrenaline.

"Fight or flight" isn't working for the protection of others in men. Protecting family is a purely learned action on a man's part.

Some men learn it as a matter of controlling their property.

Some men don't learn it.

A few learn it as an obligation, a duty, and an honor.

But it's never a matter of adrenaline taking over.
