From the video it seems he may have chosen to fight for his life.
Let’s stick to facts and reasoned discussion in this thread please. I don’t see the purpose of mind-reading the intentions and motivations of others, absent any clear supporting facts.
My smell test agrees that this is a lynching, but there is only so much we can see on the video. I get that people want immediate arrests but I think it is important to build a strong case and get justice in the end.
I cannot fathom any scenario where they do not get prosecuted for murder, unless there are more pertinent facts not presently known. An unarmed man is not a threat to two men armed with guns in a vehicle who are chasing him down with guns drawn to confront him. That’s not how self defense works in any US jurisdiction.
I’m sure comparisons to the Zimmerman trial will be inevitable, but Zimmerman wasn’t chasing Martin down with a drawn gun. Martin assaulted Zimmerman. The gun didn’t come into play until Zimmerman was losing a fight from the bottom of the mount. Whether you agree with that ruling or not, the facts seem quite different to me.
