What does that have to do with anything? Defending this is just idiotic. I know you badly want the white guys to be justified in killing the black guy, but it's simply not the case here.

He was criminally trespassing and when confronted he attacked the men placing him under a lawful citizens arrest. Should they allowed themselves to be disarmed?

The bottom line is, these two guys took the law into their own hands when they should've just called the cops. Period, end of story. A guy is dead, and this father and son will likely pay a heavy price for their actions. It's a lose, lose.

No they were making a lawful citizens arrest:

They had no business chasing the bad guy. They will go to prison for their stupidity.

Was it their property? They could have called the cops and watched from a distance. Instead they chose to take their law into their own hands. I promise you they will regret that decision. They had no good reason to confront this individual, and in fact placed themselves in danger.

Let's see how that works out for them in court. Even if they somehow prevail, they will be bankrupted.

Care to place a wager on that? Say, fifty bucks to your favorite charity? The alleged "offense" wasn't a felony.
