Well I've seen no evidence he was, his neighbors attest that he did practice jogging, his house was 2 miles away not 12 as some people would say. In the video footage of him entering that under construction house, the owner said nothing was taken. The story of him having a hammer and wearing timberlakes was debunked aswell. He was attacked by the driver in the 3rd car and was basically ambushed and killed. What aggravated me was the forced racism aspect when there was no evidence the attackers were racist until after the video filmer revealed it after arrest. I do think the men were unjustified and should be charged with murder.

He was trespassing on a construction site, then went for Travis's gun. What a great citizen.

Of course the owner said he Dindu Nuffin- the mobs would have come for him too if he said otherwise.

He wasn't trespassing, he was looking around the house which many people do to be fair. He went for the gun because his adrenaline was in fight or flight and the fact 2 men were pointing rifles at him and assaulting him made him go for the gun.

He wasn't trespassing, he was just going onto private property that he doesn't own.

If someone goes for your gun, isn't that legitimate cause for self defense?

He was looking around, most guys do that for just curiosity. The Homeowner said nothing was taken.

Put yourself in his shoes, he is being chased by 3 men, being rammed by their cars and then they point 2 weapons at him, it was fight or flight.
