When you are armed and PURSUING some one, your self defense claim goes out the window. Especially when the someone is unarmed and doing nothing but jogging.

In the video it is obvious there was no pursuit. In fact, the deceased approached the truck, which was parked.
You do, obviously.
Let the grand jury decide whether or not charges are justified. There is no legal precedent for arresting Americans without charges, and you know it.
ROTFLFMAO!!!!! He was jogging you fucking moron. And the two guys ADMITTED they were 'pursuing' the guy.
Who told you that, Judge Judy? Did you see the actions of the deceased and the shooting? Warning shots are not "shooting at someone", BTW.
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED. Are you really this totally clueless in real life?

I read the article before I posted my opinion, Legion.
Point a gun at me, and you're probably going to have to shoot me.
LOL, wanna bet? If you so much as DISPLAY a weapon in a threatening manner, it is a felony. Keep your day job. You might be the stupidest person on the internet.
So his mom says.
The two guys were parked by the side of the road, and the deceased ran toward them and around their truck. That's on video.
"According to an incident report filed by Glynn County police, Arbery was shot after two men spotted him running in their neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon. Gregory McMichael told police that he and his adult son thought the runner matched the description of someone caught on a security camera committing a recent break-in in the neighborhood. They armed themselves with guns before getting in a truck to pursue him.
The father said his son, Travis McMichael, got out of the truck holding a shotgun, and Arbery "began to violently attack." He said Arbery was shot as the two men fought over the shotgun, according to the police report.
After Arbery was shot, the police report says, Gregory McMichael turned him onto his back to see if he was armed. The report doesn't say whether he had a weapon.
The cellphone video, initially posted by a Brunswick radio station, shows a black man running at a jogging pace on the left side of a road. A truck is parked in the road ahead of him. One man is inside the pickup's bed, and another is standing beside the open driver's side door.
The runner crosses the road to pass the pickup on the passenger side, then crosses back in front of the truck. A gunshot sounds, and the video shows the runner grappling with a man in the street over what appears to be a shotgun or rifle. A second shot can be heard, and the runner can be seen punching the man. A third shot is fired at point-blank range. The runner staggers a few feet and falls face down".
Who told you that?
You have evidence that anyone displayed a weapon in a threatening manner? Let's see it.
ROTFLMFAO!!!! You said he fired a warning shot. That would be threatening.
I didn't say it was "OK with me", I said it's what we know.
The grand jury will decide whether or not criminal charges are justifies, but you want two people arrested without criminal charges. That's contrary to the rule of law.
They weren't at home, moron.
