Sorry, that is ridiculous.
Only one guy shot at him, and he only shot after the Black male grabbed the barrel of the rifle.
If you or I had been walking around inside a house we did not own, in a neighborhood we did not live in, we would have put our hands up when people pointed guns at us and waited for the Police to arrive.
if you see a lone non white loitering where there is no reason for them to be there, you get suspicious....I would get suspicious with non black people as well....
there had been robberies in that neighborhood....
these guys were going to be proactive....
sadly, and stupidly, they were impulsive and not smart....
you carry a gun, you risk using that gun....
it sucks for them because I don't think they intentionally went out to hurt somebody let alone kill someone, but stupidity will get you into jail just as quick as malace.
Or we would have called 911 on our cell phone to report crazy white people wanting to lynch us. Oh wait, he didn't.
