Leeme ask you, do you think it was reasonable the descendant ran 20' right at the person with the gun and attempted to physically disarm him after being told they wanted to speak to him and or put him under citizens arrest?

Do ya think that's a normal or reasonable response for someone out for an innocent jog?

Under Georgia code a citizen can use force if they fear for their life

Did the decedent run 20' right at the person with the gun and attempt to attack and physically disarm him?

By the way, this is the 3rd time I've asked you this question and you keep evading it. Give it a shot!☺

Do you think it was reasonable response for the decedent to run 20' right at the person with the gun and physically attack and attempt to disarm him after being told they wanted to speak to him and or put him under citizens arrest?

The law will sort it out. The guy was a former policeman. He should not have anything to worry about. Where did the guy stash his loot?

Cases are never clear cut.

But, looks to be clear cut act of defense by the deceased.

Three armed men in trucks block him off, get out of the vehicle, point guns at him and their fingers are on. the trigger.

It was fight or flight time.

The two men are going to jail !

You're not bright. So you're saying that in an encounter between an unarmed man and two armed men who are ordering the unarmed man to stop (this is known as unlawful imprisonment/kidnapping), the UNARMED man is the aggressor if he takes action to prevent himself from being shot? Holy shit. Bro, please just stay behind your keyboard and don't go out in public. You're too stupid for the world.

If I am in reasonable fear for my life because too brain-dead fat hicks pull up with guns and order me to stop, then HELL F-CKING YES I'm going to do everything in my damn power to disarm and hopefully hurt/main/kill both of them. You are in reasonable fear for your life!

But you, evidently, would stand there like an idiot and say "pardon me gentlemen, may I lick your boots? Please don't shoot me."

What a joke.

So you're saying

No, what I'm saying is clearly documented above. My statements are based on the video evidence at hand. Nothing else.

in an encounter between an unarmed man and two armed men who are ordering the unarmed man to stop the UNARMED man is the aggressor if he takes action to prevent himself from being shot?

How do you know the decedent took that action to stop from being shot? How do you know he didn't physically attack and try to disarm the man with the gun because he was in the process of being caught/detained and didn't like it?

Be honest if ya can. Do you think it was reasonable the descendant ran 20' right at the person with the gun and physically attacked and attempted to physically disarm him after being told they wanted to speak to him and or put him under citizens arrest?

Do ya think that's a normal response for someone out for an innocent jog? Come on now.

If it were me, and I'm innocently jogging unarmed in broad daylight, I'd put my hands up and say, please, ya got the wrong guy, but call the cops, no problem, I'll wait right here.

If I were stupid, guilty, desparate and possibly about to be caught/detained or arrested, I too might try something this stupid, like running 20' right at an individual holding a shotgun and try to disarm him...lol

Btw, you might be this stupid, but I can assure you, that would be the very last thing I would do.

LOL! Being impartial clearly isn't one of your personality traits.

For the protection of everyone, lets hope people like you never serve on a jury.

This the first time I heard there was a uniform one had \to wear should one decide to go jogging in GA. Is it a State Law? A County/ City Ordinance ? When was it enacted? What is the Statute Number? What was the Legislative Intent? Does Alabama have such a law? Should I call the Attorney General and inquire? What is the criteria to be a jogger in Georgia?

Please describe to me what a burglar looks like so I may recognize one should we meet.

I believe that after all is said and done. When the jailhouse lawyers nd letting them know that they don't have anything to worry about, they are home free. The State og Georgia is going to give them around 30 years to reconsider their actions that day.

A guy in Clear Water, Florida with a CC Permit shot an unarmed man he said was attacking him in self defense he said. Every jail house lawyer around told him not to worry, Florida's "Stand your Ground Law" protected him. He currently resides in a Florida Prison working on a 20 year sentence.

I read the letter. A more self serving letter I have never read. “Here are the conclusions me and my guys came up with. You and your staff after investigating should reach the same conclusions.”

In Florida, Manslaughter carried the same penalty as Second Degree Murder and was a lot easier to prove.
