If they actually caught him stealing, I would get it. But I dont think they ever did. It was a major overreaction.


Whether he stole anything or not is a mute point. Once you grab a weapon in someone else’s possession and attempt to take it from them, they have legal justification to use deadly force against you.

Under normal circumstances you would be correct. However the wrestling for the gun was the self defense for the false imprisonment and aggravated assault.

Your explanation In this scenario is like saying a mugger (McMichael's) acted in self defense when they killed the mugee (AA) for attempting to disarm the mugger.

You aren't justified using deadly force for self defense when actively committing violent felonies.

Two hoods pull a gun on you and try to rob you. You say frick that and try to defend yourself by grabbing their gun. They shoot and kill you. They should get off?
