Today Travis McMichael took the stand in his own defense in the case of killing Ahmaud Arbery...and it could not gave hone much worse.
Perhaps he was inspired by Kyle Rittenhouse's decision to do the same and his outstanding job in doing so....but McMichael proved today he is no Kyle Rittenhouse.
On the stand he admitted he never saw Arbery steal anything, that his mind was already made up that Arbery was a criminal - despite his mother telling him others thought he was not the one who had been stealing.
Be admitted that he got in his truck with his gun and went after Arbery, who was wearing sorts, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes but had no gun.
McMichael pretty much painted a picture of a couple of good ol' boys deciding a black man was guilty, and went 'HUNTING' the 'black guy' .... how they chased him, kept telling him to stop because they wanted to talk to him, told him they had called the cops/ the cops would be there soon (which was not true because his dad never called the police)....
McMichael Told how Arbery had to have been guy because he kept avoiding/ refusing to talk to his 'White stalkers', and kept running from them ... ESPECIALLY WHEN HIS DAD YELLED TO ARBERY THAT HE WAS GOING TO BLOW ARBERY'S FUCKING HEAD OFF IF HE DIDN'T STOP.
Yeah, what black person would not stop and talk to these nice gentlemen in this situation?
At one point the lawyer asked McMichael if he really thought Arbery, who was unarmed, had avoided talking to them all that time, who had run from them, who had heard his dad threaten to blow his head off, would suddenly turn and run towards their vehicle to seek refuge or attack them....and that he - McMichael - holding the shotgun actually felt his life was in danger from unarmed Arbery....and McMichael responded by saying, 'Yes, that's what I was thinking.'
As I said, McMichael and his dad, in his testimony, came across as a couple of white, racist vigilantes hell-bent on hunting down and holding, if not killing, this black guy they knew to be a thief, despite not having witnessed him committing robberies and not having any evidence.
McMichael wanted to paint him and his father as neighborhood watch heroes protecting their neighbors....but that blew up / went all wrong.
These 'stereotypical white redneck racists' (as they came across) jumped in their truck with their guns, chased down the negro, kept chasing him while threatening to kill him (blow his head off), and in the end McMichael shot the unarmed Arbery 3 (THREE) times with a SHOTGUN, killing him.
Where Rittenhouse has a legitimate argument for self-defense, the McMichael, especially after today, made it clear today they were the aggressors and if anyone had a right of self-defense in this case it was Arbery.
At some point his defense team should have thrown a white towel out in the middle of the floor in front of the judge...it was that bad.
