If Aubrey had stopped and put up his hands when he saw a gun pointed at him, he would be alive now.

We can argue this all day, but those are the facts.

That isn’t a fact, that is a speculation

Know the difference between facts, opinion/speculation

Would you surrender yourself to three madman crazy people with guns and pick up trucks? Would you?

Heh, “yat”. I guess every region has it’s own lingo. Where I grew up even they provide a helpful guide for newcomers -

Can you not read? When someone points a gun at you, the prudent thing to do is stop and put up your hands to defuse the situation.

Now, I’m tired of arguing. You aren’t going to change my mind, but please post one more time so you can have the last word.

So you allow a man with a gun the ability to do anything he wants to you?

Interesting

Ah. You couldn’t resist. Honey says I’m doing your job for you. Your guy committed suicide.

A person holding a loaded gun will almost always do whatever they want, unless they are thwarted.

For reference note downtown Chicago streets at midnight.

In this case the man was holding the perp until LE could arrive and had No intention of killing him.

This was Self Defense.

Who is dumb enough to run up to a man holding a gun and try taking it away? Was the perp on drugs? Something altered his normal thinking process.

(Normal thinking process = don’t try taking away a loaded gun unless you are Military Special Forces.)

He did kill him, so he did have intentions on killing him

He had zero legal authority to hold the man

The victim committed zero felonies

The Georgia DA has charged the men with murder and aggravated assault

You can’t claim self defense in the commission of a crime.

If that was the case, if a person mugs you and you tries to fight him off but the mugger takes out a gun and shoots your dead, the mugger can not claim self defense for your murder.

Nope.

No one set out to kill anyone or they wouldn’t have called the police prior to following the guy.

Have you considered the perp was suicidal?

What better way to off yourself and blame someone else, esp a white guy.

Even if he was, it was still murder, they still murdered the man

“He was being gunned down, 3 people, 2 with guns were chasing him around the neighborhood with trucks trying to “arrest” him. That is being gunned down.”

That is the stupidest thing I have read here for years.

“this are fantasies and there are facts. I am more interested in the latter”

You wouldn’t know a fact if it crawled up your butt and devoured your prostate.

I don’t know if these two posters are insane or malicious liars. Either way, I don’t think anyone is going to succeed in persuading them to stop posting blatant falsehoods.

So what?

It has nothing to do with the current murder charges

You can’t murder someone because you believe they did something bad in their past.

I see - so the criminals hunted him down and executed him in the street for that years later. Yeah, makes sense. ::eyeroll::
