Why run around the truck and try and take the shotgun? You are forcing the guy to shoot you, at that point. White dudes were clearly pissed about the recent thefts. They just took some pretty extreme action to deal with it.
Because, once you surrender to the three holding the guns, you are at their complete mercy to do with as they please.
You have no idea what "they please" is. It might include fists, boots, and baseball bats. It might well end in a lynching from a tree along the nearest country road. Or it might just as easily be a bullet to the back of the skull as soon as you surrender.
At least you have some chance, slim as it may be, as long as you are fighting.
I would have to ask if the victim in this case was carrying a cell phone, and if he dialed 911 during the chase. That would be the response of an honest man.
Not that it matters whether the victim was honest, or guilty of previous burglaries. This is murder either way.
