if he was intentionally blocking her in as claimed
he was blocking her OUT of the spot, not in.

Blocking in = preventing from leaving.
Blocking out = preventing from parking.

It was a dispute over a parking space.
Since we currently don't hsve any audio, for the sake of discussion, what's everyone's opinion on the dialog between them.

Shooter: [exits vehicle brandishing a handgun] "Mutha frickah, you bes' stay ovah 'dere b'foe I buss a cap in your lily-white arse!!!"

Dead guy: [walking from a distance, but getting closer] "frick you, black bitch! Whut th'frick is in her hand? Is that a gun?" [Walking closer] "What are you gonna do, shoot me?"

Shooter: [Waiving gun as she speaks] "Stay back, mutha frickah or I'll peel your cap! I'm warning you, stay back or you gunna find out!!!"

Dead guy: [Arms raised still periodically advancing on the shooter] "Shoot me then! Here I am, shoot me!"

I think this type of conversation continues until he finally walks away, only to return an FAFO.

Florida Statute § 790.10 Improper Exhibition of Dangerous Weapons or Firearms

Simple verbal arguments, screaming matches, or non-threatening disputes over a parking space do not meet the legal threshold for self-defense.

Brandishing a gun in those scenarios will result in criminal charges

How do you shoot someone without brandishing a weapon?
I guess you don't. If your intention is to shoot someone. Just know that brandishing a weapon is not the same as drawing a weapon. It has sinister implications.

quote:

Brandishing a weapon means exhibiting, waving, or drawing a deadly weapon in an aggressive, rude, or threatening manner to induce fear.

This broadly includes intentionally showing a firearm or lifting your shirt to expose a concealed weapon. Legal consequences and specific definitions vary significantly by state.


Brandishing is assault. Based on the video, her actions were aggressive. She unlawfully displayed her weapon to intimidate or threaten the guy.

Remember, I said he's a dumbass for what he did, but she's still likely to be charged.

When you cut into an onion, you damage its cell walls, which releases enzymes and amino acids that combine to form a volatile sulfur gas. When this gas hits the water in your eyes, it creates a mild, stinging sulfuric acid.

I thought she was just walking around and this dude kept pressing her from the original post.
I think a lot of people in this thread did. She was trying to intimidate him with her gun.

Well part of stand your ground is not leaving
is part of stand your ground brandishing a weapon and threatening someone with it?

Now in this particular case, she might be cooked. She had the option to leave and didnt. Getting out of the car with a gun drawn to confront an unarmed man is different than standing your ground. She could have just stayed in the car, locked the door, and he couldnt have done shite. She could have gotten back in the car. Lots of outs she didnt take.
I think this will be a major part of the trial if it goes to that. It appears that prior to the video there was a dispute over the parking spot. She knew she had that gun on her and that emboldened her to get out with it and escalate the situation. She didn't appear to fear for her life. I'm sure if we could hear the audio we'd hear threatening to shoot the guy with it.
The following series of images are screenshots of the video from this post: LINK

They beging at the onset of the situation. Note the Honda Odyssey is still in the parking space adjacent to the shooter's car.

She exits the vehichle with the gun in her right hand as the soon-to-be dead guy apporaches her (off screen).

Image 1: Shooter had opened the driver side door and is exiting the vehichle.


Image 2: Shooter has exited the vehichle and her attention appears to be on something not in the frame.


Image 3: Shooter out of the vehichle, posture suggests she is speaking to someone.


Image 4: Shooter appears to be racking the slide or arming the hammer with her left hand while the pistol is in her right hand.


Image 5: Shooter moves the pistol to her side and contines verbal discussion with someone not in the frame.


Image 6: Shooter has turned her body towards the person she has been speaking with, still out of frame. Gun still in right hand.


Image 7: The shooter raises the pistol a couple of times while talking to the person off screen.



So why did she get out of the car with a gun I'd she feared for her life?


Uhm... it's a fritter, so no. It's not a donut.

Spin-off question.
Which spelling do you prefer?

Donut
or
Doughnut

I read she came out of her vehicle brandishing her gun,
the video I saw starts with her getting out of the car with the gun. She may not get accused of murder, but I bet she catches a charge.
quote:

She had a gun on him, but could he quick draw and kill her not knowing her intentions?
I'd call that self-defense.
