I didn't say he was stealing and I didn't say he commited a crime.Ok. He wasn’t stealing. What crime was he committing?
You are 2 for 2 now.
So now it’s a “hate crime” to confront thieves in your neighborhood. It’s a “hate crime” to defend yourself when they attack you and try to take your gun away.I sincerely hope that they are able to get a conviction and that people's eyes are finally open to what's been happening all around them, even if they were unable of it.April 28, 2021, 2:32 PM PDT / Updated April 28, 2021, 4:08 PM PDTBy Tim FitzsimonsThree Georgia men previously charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery were indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury and charged with hate crimes and attempted kidnapping.Ahmaud Arbery.

Arbery was jogging in Brunswick, Georgia, when Travis McMichael, 35, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 65, pursued him in their truck and shot him dead on Feb. 23, 2020.William "Roddie" Bryan, 51, who was driving behind them in a separate truck, filmed the shooting.Later, Gregory McMichael, a retired police officer, leaked the video because he wanted "the public to know the truth," his attorney said in 2020.The Department of Justice alleged on Wednesday that the men confronted Arbery "because of his race."The incident sparked outrage and spurred an international movement to draw attention to racism against Black runners, NBC News reported.Travis and Gregory were also each charged with "carrying, and brandishing—and in Travis’s case, discharging—a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence," the DOJ said in a press release.Gregory and Travis, father and son, were previously each charged with murder in May 2020 for the death of Arbery.

If these men were police, they would had been 100% justified in shooting him. And there is no reason a citizen can’t make a citizens arrest when catching a criminal in the act.

No, it's a hate crime to kill someone you've decided is a thief with absolutely no evidence. It's a hate crime to kill them when THEY defend themselves against you, and it's despicable to try to claim self-defense because they "attacked" you when you were just "peacefully" advancing on them with a gun.
"If these men were police". Yeah, and if the moon was made of green cheese, we'd have mouse astronauts. Daydreaming about "If they were police" as though that has anything to do with them when they AREN'T police is horseshit.
And there is one very good reason why a citizen can't make a citizen's arrest in this case: because Arbery WASN'T in the act of a crime.
You've seen the video evidence of Arbery committing a crime? You should take it to the cops, then, because they sure as Hell haven't.
Why don’t YOU tell us what he was doing in this neighborhood that was nowhere near where he lived?They saw him trespassing on that property.

He attacked them trying to grab their gun.......I've only read the bare details to this but based on what I've seen, even if he was trespassing, trying to commit theft (and then fleeling) he doesn't deserve to be shot dead.
When you do that, you make martyrs of criminals.
That's not justice, it's murder. Plain and simple.
This is my issue with stitch-up jobs like Derek Chauvin - it muddies the waters and spills into everything else. Decent people don't have to talk sides black vs white in everything else as a result of it.
We need to see things clearly. If this guy had fled and was pursued and gunned down - then that's cold blooded murder when he was no threat.
HE attacked them....
this said---you should be shot for stealing---it would cut down on crime. Flee arrest while the citizens are trying to have your criminal ass removed---you really should expect to be shot.
Yeah, they were just peacefully chasing him with the guns and then advancing on him with the guns. How DARE he turn such a peaceful, non-threatening incident into something confrontational!
By the way, have you offered any proof whatsoever of this constant assertion that, "He was stealing! He was, HE WAS, because I want to believe it!"? What did he steal? Why wasn't it anywhere on his person when the cops showed up?

If they wanted to murder him, they would had shot him in the back while he was running. That’s not what happened though is it? The black guy ran around the vehicle hiding and jumped the guy with the gun, assaulting him.

Ok. You understand that under Georgia Law he wasn’t actually trespassing. The police could not have arrested him for that. For that the owner or a designated representative would have to have told him to leave.
Further. The McMichaels had no authority to enforce that. So now according to you the attempt to arrest Arbury was criminal and they are murderers.

Arbery was jogging in Brunswick, Georgia, when Travis McMichael, 35, and his father, Gregory McMichael, 65, pursued him in their truck and shot him dead on Feb. 23, 2020.William "Roddie" Bryan, 51, who was driving behind them in a separate truck, filmed the shooting.Later, Gregory McMichael, a retired police officer, leaked the video because he wanted "the public to know the truth," his attorney said in 2020.The Department of Justice alleged on Wednesday that the men confronted Arbery "because of his race."The incident sparked outrage and spurred an international movement to draw attention to racism against Black runners, NBC News reported.Travis and Gregory were also each charged with "carrying, and brandishing—and in Travis’s case, discharging—a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence," the DOJ said in a press release.Gregory and Travis, father and son, were previously each charged with murder in May 2020 for the death of Arbery.
If these men were police, they would had been 100% justified in shooting him. And there is no reason a citizen can’t make a citizens arrest when catching a criminal in the act.
We’ve seen the video evidence, we know he was guilty.
Oh good. We are starting this again. Ok. What crime was Arbury committing at the time the McMichaels chased him, confronted him, and killed him?
He attacked the man with the shotgun, tried to take it from him, got blasted.
Nobody ever saw him stealing anything. There is no video of him stealing from the construction site. I repeat. What crime did he commit on the day?
Assault which is the essential element of this case.
