Were they "chasing" him though? They were in front of him and he ran toward them, and around the truck. I'm not black, but even as your average white guy here, I wouldn't run TOWARD 2 rednecks in a truck with visibly drawn weapons, under any circumstances. I would certainly think that someone guilty of something would do a pivot and run the other way. I didn't understand that at all. It doesn't make sense.
Complete supposition on my part, but a more logical explanation would be that they passed him and insulted him in some fashion and then stopped. He caught up to them to confront them, because he is young and thinks he is indestructible, and was shot. I just don't know why an unarmed alleged criminal would run toward armed vigilantes.

I'm just saying that none of it falls in line with a survival instinct. He was way behind that truck. He could have run the other way or turned into a yard and those guys would have had no chance to get at him. Most petty criminals are dumb, but they generally know how to survive on the street. Maybe he was just a dumb innocent jogger that didn't think it was a big deal to run past the two idiots in the truck with guns out. Like I said, though, as an innocent man, I woulda still run the other way... None of this adds up... I predict that there is going to be a big twist in this story that comes out at some point. (Carole Baskin did it...)
