I don't know what "within his immediate knowledge" means, so I can't agree with your statement. Hoping someone can define that for me.

All three will eventually be charged in this I am certain...

Show poor judgement at best on their part...

I would ask the lawyer in the thread but he seems to have already made up his mind on the case

I just don’t see how they’re going to convict the guy of murder when the fatal shots were fired with 4 hands on the gun pulling in different directions.

Not that I agree with the manner in which they handled the situation at all.

I agree. They weren't doing that


The video shows the guy behind the truck pointing a gun. But the guy simply holding the gun, chasing him, and yelling at him is guilty of aggravated assault...at least he could be.

The DA says they did. Which is why he initially didn't press charges. Why else do you think they were chasing after this guy and why else do you think we have this cell phone video? They had reason to believe this man committed a crime.


And the DA lied. “Reason to believe” isn’t good enough for a citizens arrest. “Fitting the description” isn’t good enough for a citizens arrest.

And even if they could have been justified with a citizens arrest (it currently appears they weren’t), a citizens arrest doesn’t justify violence in detaining someone.

Pretty sure "immediate knowledge" is going to be a higher burden than "reasonable suspicion"

It's too bad the father and son didn't feel this way as well

I guess I'm seeing something different. I see him have to bend over to get his gun after the altercation has already started. It seems very obvious to me.

I agree that this is a possibility

the guy charged at one of the arrestors and threw hands. The violence wasn’t initiated by the father/son. The video makes that pretty clear

I agree with this. I think charging any of them with murder would end with acquittal.

One thing is for certain. Crimes he committed years ago have not a single fricking thing to do with whether or not he should be ambushed and shot by these morons.

Can you agree that having two guys in a truck following you, yelling at you, while armed would put you in fear of imminent violence or attack?

When someone has a gun pointed at you, they’ve initiated the situation.

If Ahmaud had a gun, using your justification and the DA’s, he could have shot the father and son. And he would’ve been “standing his ground.”

They were committing aggravated assault and Ahmaud was defending himself.

Don’t try to get all careful with words now. You claimed Ahmaud ran through his high school with a gun.

Means you have to be pretty crystal fricking clear that you witnessed someone committing a felony right in front of you

They didn’t have guns pointed at him when he charged at them around the truck
