Second of all, it was in a parking lot of a commercial property - which is private property, not public. Freedom of speech laws don't apply to private property.
If it bothered him so much that the woman was in a handicapped spot, he should've gone into the store and informed the manager. Or called the police with the plate number and description of the driver. He chose to take the law into his own hands when he approached the woman in the car, and again when he shot and killed the guy who shoved him in defense of the woman.
Third, the man who shoved the shooter was UNARMED. The shooter killed someone who was unarmed.

I don't think that anyone believes that the victim person should have gone up to the couple about the parking issue. However using words does NOT warrant a physical attack.
The fact that the assailant (the pusher) was unarmed does not mean that he would be unable to kill or seriously hurt the victim. Remember that the victim was on the ground-by virtue of a physical attack. Again, the police are investigating/have investigated and the prosecutor is/was doing likewise. I am sure that they have a copy of the video we have seen, what I am unaware of is if there is other video, which includes audio that they may also be in possession.
