Only In Amerika Can Someone Follow Another, Attack Them, Then Claim Self Defense

We are one Fucked up country, with one Fucked up judicial system.

So I guess that if the victim had shot and killed this Asshole Killer instead of the way it happened, it wouldn't be self defense, the corrupt police probably would have charged him with murder.

You know, murder while jogging, minding your own business, and being attacked by someone with a weapon.

what I'm wondering is did they intend to shoot the victim from the outset or, did the shooting result from the victim's apparent intent to grab the shotgun away from one of the perps? Unfortunately the video does not show what happened just before the gun was grabbed.

IOWs, was the murder premeditated or not?

One vehicle trailing took the video, the white truck followed the victim then went around and then stopped in middle of street, boxing him in.

Attempting, they say, a citizen's arrest or detainment and without cause as you need to witness the crime to detain a person.

Fuck them all, I hope they contract diseases while in a very long stay awaiting trial.
