Miami Man Disrespected - Again

28 years is a bit heavy for manslaughter. What would he have gotten if the 2nd-degree-murder charge had stuck? But the best thing about this story is how it closely parallels what many consider a legitimate DGU. Take away the drug-deal part and definitely remove that "disrespected" part, lawful gun owners don't deal in that, and what you've got is the classic DGU.

Prosecutors say McReynolds shot Troy Absher in October 2008 when Absher tried to use the front yard of McReynolds' Valrico home for a drug deal.

McReynolds claimed he was acting in self-defense after Absher and his drug dealer blocked his van with their cars.

Prosecutors say Absher was unarmed and that McReynolds was upset because the other men had disrespected him.
