        Yyyeeeeeeesss! This was murder! Cold blooded and uncalled for! The man turned away once he saw the weapon, guy on the ground shot him anyway! In no way does this represent self defense! Do the right thing Florida!

        He did get blindsided, knocked down, and the man was heading towards him. Lesson learned, don't attack people.

        Did the national news report that the shooter was also known for ‘policing’ parking spots and having issues with other people in the past over this very issue?? The case is not as simple as you think. Sounds like an instigator.

        This law is terrible. It gives people like him a license to kill, then go home as if nothing happened.

        Watch the man running, he was walking towards the confrontation, he wasn't worried before the gun was pulled. So tell me, who caused the most fear? He is a cowardly murderer. The sheriff, resign.

        So, he was berating the girlfriend over parking in a handicapped spot, was pushed to the ground and then defended himself. Question: why was the trigger pulled after brandishing? Most incidents are stopped as soon as a firearm is drawn.

        Utter BS! Pushing someone away from your family during a confrontation is the proper force used for protection. Shooting at someone after being pushed is excessive force. The video clearly shows the shooter pulling out his gun to fire as the victim is standing still. Murderer!

        “Don't leave somebody sitting in jail who claims they acted in self-defense while the state attorney figures it out”. If only this logic could be applied to the real victim Markeis who’s in a morgue.

        Let's see if there's any common sense left in Florida at all. This is clearly murder. When shoving someone becomes grounds for using deadly force, we are lost as a society.
