Re: FL:Stand your ground law under fire for parking space dispute murder
4-5 seconds. That's the time from the shove to the shot.
I can't imagine there's sufficient time to know if the threat will continue. McGlockton has already shown he'll be aggressive with out provocation. McGlocktoncontinue to laud over Drejka when he was on the ground. I don't know how disorienting the shove, impact with the ground (did his head hit?), etc would be.
Then add this all occurred in 4-5 seconds.
(Careful, spoiler alerts for the movie Sully below)
The arm chair quarterbacking reminds me of the scene from Sully (the pilot who successfully landed a plane on the Hudson river) when the NTSB believed Sully could've successfully landed the plane at one of two airports nearby. What the NTSB didn't take into consideration was the time it took to decide if the test pilots could get the engines restarted, go thru the disaster plan etc. The test pilots immediately making a turn for either airport was successful, but taking the time to get oriented (in the movie they made the test pilots 35secs before making a decision to fly towards an airport), then they realized it wasn't plausible to make it to either of the airports.
That was a plane with 155 people on it making a quick decision in minutes. This shooting was FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS. I'm sure it seemed like longer in the moment, but I'm not sure. I don't like the shoot personally, so many wrong decisions leading up to it, but once deadly force was justified, it was 4-5 seconds.
