No matter how hard you try to spin this Abb, no. Based on the video I saw, the driver of the truck assumed a position in front of the driverside quarterpanel on the truck and did not approach the black guy. The deceased was on the right side of the truck and proceeded toward the eventual shooter. The shooter did not appear in any way to attack, move towards or lay hands on the deceased. What caused him to cross in front of the truck and get into a physical confrontation with the shooter over the gun, we will probably never know. Fact is, had they not followed him, it never would have occurred. Unfortunate situation. I think that regardless of the law or actual circumstances of the encounter, the two white guys will be convicted. They have to be in order to keep the riots at bay.
