  1. You forgot to mention it was the black man who punched the white man in the face. They had the right to pursue and confront him and prevent him from getting away. He was a coward who punched a man and thought he could flee on his bike.

  2. After he was punched in the face by a coward who thought he could get away on a bike.

  3. If Theodore didn't punch him and run away the husband would be alive.

  4.  @E.L.Stokes  Don't worry your lies won't go far. Theodore sucker punched a man and thought that he could just flee? Any reasonable person would confront him. He was the aggressor and therefore self defence will be hard to prove.

  5.  @latyshal.2286  Who told you that? So he has the right to punch people who used a racial slur? No. He should have just kept riding.

  6. They chased him down because he was the aggressor who punched the husband in the face. The only defence that would work is if the husband got out of the car with knife in hand and threatened to kill Theodore.

  7. The cyclist shot the husband.

  8. The bike rider punched the car owner first. The car owner followed him to confront him and then he was shot. It would be interesting if the car owner had a knife in hand at the time he was shot.

  9. He had the right to confront the cyclist after he was punched in the face. You can't claim self defence when you are the aggressor.
    2
  10. He was running away after he punched the husband in the face. You can't claim self defence when you are the aggressor.
    2
  11. The guy on the bike was the aggressor. You can't claim self defence if you are the aggressor.
    2
  12. Because the cyclist would get away by the time the police got there.

  13. If you were punched in the face by a cyclist, would you confront them or let them get away?
    2
  14. Because he just punched the husband in the face.

  15.  @ericmckinney4607  So you can kill a man who wants to punch you back? No that's not how self defence works. You cannot be the aggressor and claim self defence.
    2
  16.  @mtio2807  He was the aggressor. You can't claim self defence when are the aggressor. The couple had the right to follow and confront him and stop him getting away.

  17.  @BabyOfTheLord  He's the aggressor. Stop defending criminals.

  18. But are you a felon who is prohibited from carrying a gun?

  19.  @Refresh2b  We don't know what caused him to get punched but in this instance the cyclist was the aggressor. We have to wait for the details in the case.

  20.  @thomism1016  He was only chased after he punched the husband in the face.

  21. So you're saying you have the right to punch a person in the face and try and get away on your bike. If the person confronts you about punching them, you can pull out your gun and shoot them? You can't claim self defence if you are the aggressor.

  22. The cyclist punched the husband in the face and then attempted to flee on his bike. The husband went to confront the aggressor and was shot when doing so. The husband had a knife on him but we don't know if it was in his hand at the time he was shot. The cyclist was a convicted felon banned from owning or carrying a gun.

  23.  @mtio2807  They had the right to confront him when the cyclist was the one who punched the husband in the face.

  24. He was a felon who was banned from owning or carrying a gun.

  25. Didn't the husband have a knife? Was it in his hands at the time he was shot. If so that would be a case for self defence.

  26. You can't claim self defence when are you are the aggressor.

  27. The man wasn't jogging, he was flee when spotted trespassing by a neighbor.

  28.  @BabyOfTheLord  In this case Theodore was the clear aggressor sucker punching the husband.
    1
  29. Theodore was the aggressor.

  30. This case has noting to do with Kyle's. Kyle was not the aggressor in his case. It's like comparing day to night.
    1
  31. No her son was a felon who was banned from carrying a gun. He was the aggressor and the husband had the right to confront him. If the husband had a knife in his hands at the time he was shot, then this would be a case of self defence.
    1
  32. Not if he's the aggressor.
    1
  33. You would feel threatened after you punched the husband in the face and tried to get away on you bike? The only case for self defence is if the husband came at him with a knife in hand.
    1
  34. But you're not the aggressor in this situation. You can't be the aggressor and claim self defence.

  35. Ahmaud wasn't jogging, he was fleeing when spotted trespassing by a neighbor who then called 911.
    1
  36. He was trying to get away from them. This is why they pursued him.
    1
  37. You can't be the aggressor and claim self defence.

  38. Did the husband have a knife in his hand? That would be a case of self defence but he'd still go down for the gun violation.
    1
  39. They had the right to pursue and confront Theodore when he was the aggressor who punched the man in his face. This is not a self defence case.

  40.  @moss0929  Wrong again. How do you know they were chasing him? He could have been fleeing like a coward after he punched the husband. What the aggressor cannot do is claim self defence and in this case the cyclist was the aggressor.
    1
  41.  @moss0929  Whereas from the victim's point of view, he was fleeing after having sucker punched the husband.
    1
  42. If the husband had a knife in his hand, then it is self defence.
    1
  43. We don't know what transpired. The confrontation only occurred when the husband was punched in the face.
    1
  44.  @infozone9601  He can't carry a gun if he's' a convicted felon.
    1
  45. Maybe 2nd degree murder or manslaughter plus time for a gun violation.
    1
  46.  @julielevinge266  They had the right to confront him, seeing he just punched the husband in his face.
    1
  47.  @ericmckinney4607  So according to you they should just let a guy who sucker punched the husband get away? Any reasonable person would confront that thug.
    1
  48.  @ericmckinney4607  I don't think he had the knife out. It was still in his pocket.
    1
  49. He had the right to chase and confront the coward who punched him in the face.
    1
  50. After being punched in the face? No they had the right to confront him. If the husband had a knife in his hand this would be a case of self defence but Theodore would go down for the gun violation.
    1
  51.  @secretsinthedark5704  No according to the wife she had to swerve to avoid hitting Theodore. He then came alongside them and after a verbal altercation punched the husband in the face. He is now deemed the aggressor. Any reasonable person would confront a person who sucker punched them and gave them a black eye. We shall see if his claims of self defence are genuine.
    1
  52.  @secretsinthedark5704  Read the facts of the case. He caught up to them when they were stopped at the red light. The thug gave the husband a black eye. They should have just shook it off. LOL. You too would have chased the suspect if he punched you in the face. You're a liar. The thug wasn't defending himself when he punched the husband. He sucker punched him and took off like a little coward. Any reasonable adult would have confronted the thug after being punched in the face. You are a hypocrite.

  53.  @secretsinthedark5704  Rational adults may also want to apprehend the guy for assault or follow him and call the police.

  54.  @secretsinthedark5704  I'll do what I want thanks.

  55.  @boomerwow8482  It is hinted that the husband had a knife. Was the knife in his hand when he was shot? That would be a case for self defence but even then he'd go down for the gun violation.
    1
  56.  @legendarygigolo823  Not to mention that he was a felon who was banned from owning or carrying a gun.

  57. Ahmaud wasn't jogging he was fleeing when spotted trespassing.

  58. He looks crazy, full of devils.

  59.  @BabyOfTheLord  Stop defending criminals and murderers.
    1
  60.  @BabyOfTheLord  No this man was shot by a criminal who had was in illegal possession of a gun. Edgecomb was the aggressor and I can't see him getting off unless the husband took out his knife and brandished it at him.
    1
  61.  @BabyOfTheLord  What does being on a bike have to do with anything. Edgecomb was the aggressor having punched the husband. When the husband went to confront him, Edgecomb shot him in the head. No case of self defence unless the husband punched him first or went to stab him with his knife.
    1
  62.  @BabyOfTheLord  Yes the window was down. Edgecomb came alongside them when they were stopped at the lights and punched the husband. We don't know if the husband took out his knife. From what I've read, the knife was still folded in the husband's pocket.

  63.  @LadyMaeloraBeesbury  Theodore was the aggressor.
