Displaying a gun is not in itself an act of aggression and theft does require force, any libertarian will tell you that.
Whether going after them was the smart thing to do can be debated - but it was legal, moral and ethical. They witnessed him commit a felony and they asked him to stop so the police could come. They did not even use physical force to get him to stop, even though that was completely within their rights under the law. So they did not go nearly as far as they would be allowed under the law.
I'm not sure if you read this entire thread, but it has already been determined what happened here, and it isn't being reported. So unless you follow Molyneux, you will have to read this thread where I described what happened. Did you read that part? Here's a short version..
The father was previously a police investigator and had faced down Arbery in court several years prior. Arbery had two strikes, so this felony would have landed him a life sentence.
So Arbery comes running out of the house that he was robbing, and who comes up to him? The police investigator who faced him down in court several years prior. So first he runs, and they go around the block to cut him off at the pass. As he is running, he realizes that he can't run anymore, because he was spotted by somebody who knows his name and as far as he knows is still a law enforcement officer. So when he sees them again, he could have run away, but instead he charges the truck, goes around the side and tries to take the gun so he can murder the father and son to get rid of the witnesses.
