I’m worried they’re going to get off scot-free.

Once he ran around the truck to punch and grab the shot gun he was the perpetrator. That put it in another light completely. He knew why they wanted to question him, and why he ran from the home. He was seen. Yes they should have waited for the cops, but the guy with the shot gun was clearly attacked.

He was under no obligation to answer their questions. They were not the property owner. They were not authorized to act on behalf of the property owner (security guards.) They were not the police.

He had every right to walk (run) away from them. They had no right to hunt him down and trap him.

True. He could have run in many directions and off the street. He instead chose to assault shotgun guy.

If he had, they would have shot him even sooner, but in the back.

No. They wanted to see why he was in the home, and detain him until the cops arrived. They didn't expect him to turn and rush the guy with the gun.

It wasn't their home. Why was it their business if he was in the home? All they should have done is call the police to report something suspicious and give the best description they could. That's it. No need to "detain him" themselves.

Agree. Maybe they were the unofficial neighborhood watch but since the one was a former cop he should have known better. A lot of stupid choices.

This whole incident seems to be a case of stupid people’s lives intersecting and one side being armed.

I think with the trial we'll find out just how stupid they all were. And maybe why they did what they all did.

They had no authority to stop him, even to ask him a question. And, if they just wanted to ask him a question, why the gun?
