Here's a different and more complete perspective on this story. The mainstream media presented a very one-sided version of the facts. Although I don't think that the men who wound up shooting the guy should have confronted him in the first place, according to Georgia law, they were within their rights at every step of the interaction. It would have been better if these guys just snapped a few pictures of the guy on their cell phones for identification purposes and allowed law enforcement to follow up on the situation.
This is just so typical of mainstream media news! It's ridiculous! They should have presented the full story to begin with instead of painting this guy as an innocent jogger. Although I disagree with the way the guys who shot the "jogger" handled the situation, it is not clear that they did anything illegal. Like you say they should not have been so assertive. It would have been better if they just followed the guy and got info for law enforcement. That being said, I ain't shedding no tears for the scumbag. I just think it would have been better for things not to work out as they did. But more importantly, I'm sick of mainstream media news presenting one-sided versions of situations like this.
