That said.... the citizen told Arbrey they just wanted to talk.
There were two of them. If all they wanted to do was talk there was no need for them to be brandishing weapons...
What you don't do... unless you want to die... is attack the person with the gun.
And we don't know that's what happened. That's what we're being told happened by the guy who killed him.
It would not be beneficial for him to state otherwise, even if "otherwise" was the truth...
You attack someone holding a gun, who only said they wanted to talk.... that makes you a danger to society, and I'm fine with them dead.
You stop someone while holding a gun and tell them you "just want to talk" that makes you a danger to society. There was no reason to confront Arbery while armed...
Second, Arbrey... already had a criminal history. Was caught bringing a gun into a school gymnasium, and several counts of obstructing officers.
Yes, he'd has his brushes with the law.
But those who have no problem with him being killed are acting like he was Clyde Barrow...
This guy was scum.... we're better off with him dead.
A completely ignorant and stupid conclusion, supported by nothing...
Here's the sick aspect of this...... You people, are the reason you people die so much. You support the criminals, and attack the good people.
"You people"?
I'm white. I'm as white as they get. I'm a proud, card carrying life member of the NRA who's carrying a loaded firearm pretty much anytime I leave the house.
And I can see all kinds of problems with simply taking McMichael at his word...
That's why black people will continue to get kill constantly, and it is their own fault.
You're not real familiar with this area of Georgia, are you? Waycross? Brunswick? There's no shortage of redneck racist ***** who'd love to shoot a black man just to watch him die.
And here's where the shooters are fucked. According to at least one former US Attorney, “The law does not allow a group of people to form an armed posse and chase down an unarmed person who they believe might have possibly been the perpetrator of a past crime”.
That's EXACTLY what happened when McMichael and his son grabbed their weapons and went after Arbrey...
