There is no hammer. There is an object on the ground in a frame of the video that people speculated was some type of weapon, but no mention of any weapon made it into the early documentation of the incident.
ultimately it doesn't matter in terms of the confrontation
the shooter is arguing the deceased charged at him, which created his opportunity for self defense. if the hammer was present at the "charge", then it would matter. if the deceased no longer had it, then that severely hurts the self defense angle
and the shooter/dad have already memorialized their statements re: burglary, not this hammer situation

You're right. I'm just pointing out how none of the documentation we have mentions any type of weapon. It's insane that people can run with this as though it is true.

I think this is a good time to run with an unrelated quote that people once laughed at, but that is dead on.
We have things we know here. But they are limited.
We have things we know we don't know here. Things we can actually contemplate.
But, we also have unknown unknowns. And those are the little fricker that get ya.
My knee jerk if you pointed a gun at my head?
1. He wasn't jogging. I suspect that will turn out to be bull shite.
2. They saw him do something that caught their eye, but, wasn't a literal crime.
3. They followed him and yeah, I suspect that him being black contributed to them noticing he wasn't from their neighborhood
4. Up thru 3, they were probably all good, but, it appears they hopped out of their trucks and tried to directly confront him or maybe even take him into custody.
5. If 4 is true, I consider this to be way outside of what is acceptable if they didn't witness can actual crime.
Those are what I think if you forced me to bet money.
But, I also am pretty much 100% certain there's shite I don't know yet that will impact the above.
