The black guy may or may not have been up to no good.  Apparently he had peeked into another house before peeked into the one caught on video.  Maybe he did nothing wrong. Maybe he was jogging, maybe he was running away (joggers usually don't wear khaki shorts...but maybe this guy does who knows).  The older white guy, ex-cop, had been on an investigation of this same guy back when he was still a cop.

The main moral here is this is why you don't don't take the law into your own hands.  If you suspect law-breaking, you call the cops, you don't chase the guy with a gun and confront them.  The ex-cop should have known this.  Same thing happened in the Trayvon Martin case.

The mix of gun loving and race hating makes America a dangerous place. And there's nothing much new in that scenario.
