Multiple vids of this "jogger" (w/ vioIent criminal & mental records) trespassing at property. He's caught again, so they pursue. He flees. Do you call the cops and hope this fugitive doesn't run into some house and grab a weapon? Or are you going to pursue w/ armed friends?

The guns were supposed to make sure things go smoothly, honestly. If he’s packing (as a known robber with criminal weapons past, very well could be), you have defense/deterrent. If he’s unarmed, no fisticuffs. You have guns, they don’t, they’ll have to listen. Unless they’re an idiot and attack anyway.

This is a point the pro-jogger people are especially struggling with.They keep saying “why would you bring a gun???” If you think about it for just 5 seconds it makes total sense.

The other explanation is guns were brought to better facilitate the murder that was intended. Except all other evidence (jogger running toward truck, cops called, not taking shot until hands are on rifle/punching in the face) seem to indicate it was in fact the above rationale. Besides the fact it’s an open carry state & they’re allowed to be armed wherever they want.

Start with "why pursue him" then work your way to "why pursue and confront him while armed"... If they knew him it was not like they could not have reported his presence to the police....

Why pursue him - to make sure he doesn't harm others. To let the police know his location.

Why pursue him armed? To make sure he doesn't hurt you.

I don’t think they woke up and decided to hunt and kill a black person. They were in the wrong neighborhood to do that easily.

They did frick up and take a life though.

They deserve their day in court. I think they are in deep doo doo.

People who intend to kill other people don’t call 911 first and then wait for them to have their hands on the barrel of the gun

I like you already... Are you an alter or coming over from Toomers?

Anyway, it isn't so they can hunt someone down and shoot them...

Like I said, you really need to read what you wrote and if it makes sense in your head, then there really is no helping you...

If you thought the perp was armed and dangerous, why try to corner him at all? Why not call the cops, follow him at a distance and see where he goes and keep the cops updated.

Dogging an armed guy like that doesn’t seem to me to be the best option.

The one thing I keep thinking about is if I was the idiot with the shotgun I would have butt stroked his arse. Absolutely no need to fire a shot and maybe you get charged with assault and battery!
