There's an old saw about rushing a gun but fleeing from a knife.I doubt the guy who got killed thought of that or was thinking clearly at all. It looked to me like he was trying to keep the other guy from shooting him.
If the jogger had no idea why 2 white men were trying to accost him and
in fact headed him off and got out with a long gun he could and should have assumed they were trying to rob him, kill him, kidnap him or some such nefarious purpose. At that point I would have probably figured my safest and only option was to get a tight hold on my assailant and try to gain control of the weapon. I still don't believe the father and son team set out to kill the young black man but hopefully all of us can learn something about using discretion with our right to keep and bear arms.
