You shouldn’t be brandishing your gun in the first place

They drew weapons against a man with no weapons, these morons are not cops

He had every legal right to defend himself at that point, if he had a gun, he could have used it and legally shot and killed the holder of the shot gun in SELF DEFENSE

We have the right to SELF DEFENSE not self offense

Unless the gun was pointed at him, then no, he could not have done what you say. And because what we know is largely from the media, the facts are probably the opposite of what is being presented.

Remember what the media said about Trayvon? Curious if this story ever makes it into the light of day.

I think you’re right about this.
The only video I’ve seen really doesn’t show very much but there are other things as well.
I think it’s pretty clear they stalked him and how did the video come about in the first place? My guess: someone saw them driving by the jogger and yelling at him probably not in a friendly way. This prompted the person to start recording what happened. The two drove on up ahead and waited for the jogger. They had a shotgun and at the very least intended to intimidate him. The exchanged insults. The events after that aren’t very clear because, like I said, the video that I saw doesn’t really show much. I don’t know if what happened was murder or possibly something else.

What does brandishing a gun against someone even mean?

Are you trying to say he was holding him at gun point?
Or that he was just holding his gun which is legal in an open carry state.?

I do not see any evidence of that in the video.

He attacked an armed man, and was shot in the grappling for the shotgun.

I have not seen any evidence any gun was pointed at him before he attacked the son who had the shotgun.
