I dont know of the jogger was entitled to attack an armed man holding a shotgunIf I were in the father and son’s place I would be a free man today because all I would have done is follow the guy till the cops showed up
but if I were the black guy I would be alive today because I never would have attacked two armed men
But since the killers and armed harassers did not follow your advice and caused a jogger to be involved in an escalation unto combat that the defendants initiated - the stand your ground law goes to the jogger not the shooters.
see here:
(b) (b) A person is not justified in using force under the circumstances specified in subsection (a) of this Code section if he:
(3) Was the aggressor or was engaged in a combat by agreement unless he withdraws from the encounter and effectively communicates to such other person his intent to do so and the other, notwithstanding, continues or threatens to continue the use of unlawful force.

Georgia Title 16. Crimes and Offenses Section 16-3-21. Read the code on FindLawcodes.findlaw.com
Blocking a jogger’s path three times using 1 Ton Motor Vehicle possibly brandishing a weapon makes the shooters the aggressors and the victim has a right to defend himself under the stand your ground Law as written.
my guess is no
but it was a pretty dumb thing to do
