If someone tried to kidnap me at gunpoint, I'd fight back too. If you were 30 yards away, would you run back for a tussle?

If it hadn't been for Roddie Bryan's video, the outcome for this trial would have been far different.
Everything the McMichael's did was within the confines of GA law.

Get a grip, they weren’t protecting a darn thing. Shoot first, ask questions later. They are just plain and simple ignorant men. You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. That's not what happened. One of the men was armed with a shotgun, fully within his rights. The perp grabbed it, and in the struggle for control, the perp was shot. When the perp grabbed his shotgun, what was he supposed to do? Let him have it? If someone tried to kidnap me at gunpoint, I'd fight back too. Are you a burglar, with a rap sheet the length of your arm, pretending to be a jogger in work boots? Does it matter?

My guess is jogging will be the new sport of afro entrepreneurs.
Hell they wander down every other street w a DG bag and claim just coming back from shopping.
Not using sidewalk, walk on othrr side of cars on street jacking handles/ peeking in, or walking up to windows of house.
Jus shoppin man, see da bag.
One actually lives in neighborhood across the road. Been busted a bunch of times, whole family like that.
I wont lose sleep if a good ol boy blasts the fugger when hes messin w his property

It does. He was reasonably believed to be the burglar that had been plaguing the neighborhood. Citizens are permitted to detain for the police those reasonably believed to be burglars, and citizens may be armed while doing so. If you are a burglar, you should expect to be confronted by armed citizens. Or at least that is the case in any sane society.

I thought this place was all about MYOB. I see something I don't like, I call the cops and let them handle it if it isn't happening to me. It's not like anyone's life or safety was at risk. I wonder how hero they feel about themselves now.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

TV has become nothing more than the Petri dish where this country grows its idiots.

Citizens are permitted to detain for the police those reasonably believed to be burglars........ Bullsh*t. Actually it's not Bullsh*t - it's Georgia Law. Here citizens have the right to make a citizen's arrest, but Kemp changed the law after this mess. Once again, the media tried the case without any comprehension of the law and the jury got this one wrong. Rules and regulations regarding citizen’s arrest in Georgia can be found under Section 17-4-60 through 61 of the Georgia Criminal Code. Established during the late 1860s, the law authorizes private citizens to make an arrest of others if a crime is committed in their presence or in cases in which they have immediate knowledge that one occurred.

The idea of the police in the US is that they are hired to do what citizens have a right to do with regard to criminals, but don't wish to be burdened themselves with doing. Can the police detain someone suspected of being a burglar? If you answer yes, you lose.

I think if you check into it, you'll see that the law was already changed.

We don't permit the application of laws ex post facto in the US.

LOL, the "idea of the police" isn't relevant, and it's not a statute that allows ordinary citizens to detain other citizens.
