So every time I see a strange person leave my neighbor’s property I should assume that person is a burglar? How did these 2 shooters know that the jogger didn’t have the owner’s permission to be there?

This never would have happened if those 2 would have minded their own business. If they’re going to say the jogger went for the gun, maybe he was trying to avoid getting shot himself. I’m not going to waste one ounce of sympathy on these 2 jerks that give responsible gun owners a bad name.

I just love these strawman argument like “am I just supposed to chase every stranger I see who runs on my street?“ So let me put forth a hypothetical for you to consider. Suppose a police officer was driving down the street, when he witnessed the black guy come sprinting full speed out of this house. The only thing the officer knows is that the house has been burglarized in the recent past, the homeowner is out of town, and this is an all white neighborhood, and nothing else. As the black guy sees the police officer in his car, he bolts off in a different direction, obviously trying to avoid contact with the police officer. I think every judge in America on those facts would agree that the police officer had enough facts to warrant chasing the black guy and even detaining him despite not knowing for sure if a crime was committed. If the cop had PC, than the McMicaels had PC because they were aware of the exact same facts.
