Journalists Still Struggling With Who Is the Victim

They are also wondering if the person who defended themselves will face charges. Police investigate fatal shooting during carjacking attempt | Stone Mountain | 11 Alive

Just because a bad guy suffered a breakdown of the victim-selection process, and came out on the wrong end of a defensive shooting, that does NOT morph him into a victim. He is still a bad-guy, just not very good at being one.

Just after 6 p.m., officers responded to the scene near Sister 2 Sister Cafe Halal. Once there, they said they found a man who had been shot and who later died from his injuries.

After further investigation, officers said they determined the victim was trying to carjack someone else's car and was shot during the crime.

This person was shot while attempting to carjack someone, and was apparently shot by that someone; He is not a victim. Don't expect journalists to understand this.

Also the reporter, or Professional Journalist (so called) seems confused that there is no word on charges against the person who defended himself. Which shows a disdain for, or ignorance of, legal, self-defense, and a lack of understanding of the criminal justice system works. Police do not have final say about charges. That is the job of the District Attorney.

And while the reporter may be a graduate of a liberal college, Georgia as a whole has not morphed into New Jersey.

Dekalb County, Georgia is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The county line is about 3 miles east of downtown Atlanta, and roughly one third is inside the Interstate 285 beltway around that city.

Self-defense is a human right, and seems to be mostly your legal right in Georgia.
