Self defense is legal in Georgia. Also, don't pick fights with your neighbors. Georgia Man Forced to Shoot Neighbor in Self-Defense During Confrontation, Sending Him to the Hospital - USA Carry
One man assaulted his neighbor. Things didn't go his way.
According to police, the confrontation led the injured man to commit aggravated assault, which under Georgia law, involves the use of a dangerous weapon. Although specific details of the weapon used were not disclosed, the severity of the charge suggests that a significant threat was posed during the altercation.
So after he assaulted his neighbor, the neighbor shot him. He was still in the hospital on Friday.
This incident took place May 20th, in DeKalb County, Georgia, which is the county immediately to the east of Atlanta. The county line is only a few miles east of Downtown Atlanta.
The shooter is not being charged because self defense is legal in Georgia.
As for picking a fight with neighbors... This guy got shot, and is in the hospital. He could easily have ended up in the morgue. When he gets out of the hospital is going to face some serious charges.
He could have (should have) stayed home and watched a movie. His life would be better.
