A mentally ill person is running around your neighborhood with a hammer, 12 miles from his home, with prior charges of bringing a handgun to a school.. When confronted he begins attacking a person with a gun and gets shot..
Hello police? There is an idiot running around my neighborhood with a hammer.

...which would be the standard response in the North....good ole boys in the South prefer to take matters in to their own hands...

Maybe they know response times in rural areas make police into paper pushers more so than crime stoppers.....

Been there. Great to use guns to defend your home in that situation. Still not any more intelligent to roll out in your truck and shoot a black man while trying to play hero.

Yeah! We make our own law and detain unarmed fellow private citizens at will because we have the boom boom sticks!

FREEDUUUUUUUUUUUMB!!!
That dude was putting people’s live at risk running through the neighborhood without his face mask. He should of just stayed home.

OCGA 17 -4 -60 A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge . If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion .”
Neither conditions were met ...

The whole he was just out for a jog narrative is dumb.
That I agree with ... it seems obvious he and his videotaping partner were casing the neighborhood.

I still doesn't justify the confrontation with guns drawn.

All three participants in this event were stupid in their actions.

One man dies and two were arrested for murder.
