As I commented on an earlier post...none of us has ALL the information...and therefore I beg to differ that what these guys did was illegal...if you are legally possessing a firearm and you feel threatened (at least in my state, and I think it applies in GA) you have the right to defend yourself. We obviously do not have all the facts, so you can speculate but you don’t know.
Self Defense yes
Using your gun as a license to chase down “criminals” to harass them and play cop, no
The trial will be interesting, we learned a lot in Trayvon Martin, mostly the fact that his girlfriend was egging him on to leave his house and go find the creepy ass cracker, that put Trayvon in the offensive mode against Zimmerman. That sealed it for me, I figured Zimmerman was innocent but when I heard Trayvon made it home safely from the “creepy ass cracker” and he was convinced to go out and find him and give him a beat down, which he did.
