If he feared for his life, which is likely, is it any surprise he tried to go for their weapons in desperation?
I don't find it surprising and I feel sorry for the guy.
What a horrible thing to have happen to you when you're out for a jog.
He might not have even tried to wrestle the gun off them.
Maybe one of them got nervous or maybe a hair trigger.
Still no evidence yet that this is a pair of racist rednecks though.
Lets turn it around.
What evidence is there that these two guys would not have chased down a white guy that they believed to be the perpetrator?
Let's turn it around even more. Two black men jump in a truck and chase down a white guy who looks a little like a white guy in a security video. They threaten him with firearms. He resists and the white guy ends up dead. Police investigate and find out that the dead white guy was unarmed and that there is no evidence he committed a crime of any sort.
Do you REALLY think it would have taken the cops ten weeks to arrest the black guys? In Georgia?
If this whole incident isn't racist, it's doing a pretty goddamned good imitation of it.
