Wrong, they were standing their ground while a violent criminal attacked them because he got caught burglarizing
No one saw Arbury commit a crime that day.
If they truly wanted to stand their ground, they should've stayed in the their front yard. Arming themselves and then chasing Arbury down negated any possibility of legitimately claiming self defense...
The whole neighborhood recognized him as the person that had been robbing the house repeatedly and when he got caught red-handed trying to rob it again the whole neighborhood pointed at him and the Good Samaritans ran his dumbass down
Trouble with you guys is your pro crime anti civilian
One problem. The owner has said that nothing was ever stolen. So what was he stealing?
The owner is a victim of terroristic threatening and has reported numerous things stolen in the past just like the rest of the neighborhood who knew exactly who this thief was and recognized him on sight
The news flash for you is that it's totally irrelevant if he stole anything anyway because having fled from the first confrontation he gave everyone in the neighborhood Reasonable Suspicion to pursue
welcome to America
Not in America. But hey. Go with what you think instead of the facts. And watch the McMichaels go to Prison for violating Georgia law.
how you like those videos?
you said Larry English said nothing was taken, how about now?
You people bought a fake news story about a innocent black jogger gunned down by a couple racist rednecks but it turns out the whole neighborhood was identifying this well-known local criminal and he attacked a couple honest decent hard-working men trying to take him into custody for law enforcement and got his dumb ass shot in a open and shut case of self-defense
this kid was a local Criminal who came from a family full of criminals
The only reason the McMichaels are in jail now is because the view and USA Today are more important to America's deeply perverted Society then the law of the land
odd. He claims nothing was ever stolen. How accurate are your videos. Because the prosecutor in court said that the owner never claimed anything was stolen.
The attorney for a property owner in the Satilla Shores neighborhood has released video showing someone inside a home being built on the property less than a mile from where Ahmaud Arbery was killed.

did you watch those videos?
So let’s cover Georgia law. Let’s say you see a guy. You know he stole something. You know he did. You grab him. But he didn’t steal today in your presence. Are you committing a crime?
The answer is yes. You are. He could be the biggest criminal since Al Capone. And you have no right to stop him. None.
The crime has to take place in your presence for you to have legal authority under Georgia Law to effect a Citizens arrest. What did Arbury steal on the day he died? According to the police. Nothing. According to the lawyers representing the defendants? Nothing. So what legal justification did they have in stopping him?
how come you dont want to talk about the videos of Larry English describing all the crimes anymore?
everybody knew the mentally challenged THEIF that kept robbing that neighborhood and they were on the lookout for him
the neighbors identified the thief running from the structure as the McMichaels gave Chase ( they recognized him as well)
When the thief attacked the McMichaels they defended themselves...it's a pretty simple concept
By Georgia law they had what's called immediate knowledge that he had committed a crime
By Georgia law entering a structure with a no trespassing sign is an automatic burglary charge
did you know that construction sites are hotbeds of theft and therefore liable to a lower criteria for a burglary charge?
No not even close. Let’s go back. For it to be self defense it had to be a legal attempt to engage in citizens arrest. For that to happen the people effecting the arrest had to see the crime committed. No crime was committed in their presence. Everyone knowing doesn’t cut it.
If Arbury had stopped. McMichaels and son would still go to jail for illegal imprisonment. Waving the shotgun around would have included the charge for Aggravated Assault.
So once they set off in pursuit the McMichaels were the felons. Both charges are felonies.
In Georgia everyone knows doesn’t cut it. Citizens arrest is intended to be used when you can’t wait for cops. Not for when you feel heroic. Days or weeks later.
Now about your videos. Let’s cover those shall we?
WTOC obtained 10 incident reports and radio communication logs from at least 5 prior 911 calls in Satilla Shores, the neighborhood where Ahmaud Arbery was killed in February by armed homeowners.
www.wtoc.com
10 calls to the cops. Only one burglary reported. That was Travis. He reported a gun stolen from his truck.
This is the cops own reports. So everyone knew there were burglaries. Except the cops because they were not reported. So what is the most likely explanation?
Travis and Daddy decided that the black guy was the thief who stole the gun. They decided he was stealing everything. No proof. But everyone knew.
You see. You don’t just shout he is a thief. You have to list what was stolen. Let’s say Arbury was arrested in that day. For what? Stealing something? You can’t tell the judge everyone knew he was a thief. You have to tell the judge and later the jury what he stole. And you have to show when he stole it. Witnesses or video. Nothing like that exists.
You don’t grab a guy and say he stole money from a bank. The first question is how much. I don’t know is not an answer.
Now since I have lived in Georgia longer than you claim to be in public safety. What the hell is that anyway? What are you a mall security guard? Anyway. I have lived here for nearly thirty years. I’ve watched news and I’ve watched trials and I’ve seen Georgia Justice. Those three are going to prison.
Now. You like videos. So here we go scooter.
That is the preliminary hearing. The result as we all know was denied bond and remanded into custody until the trial. What was missing?
No mention of burglaries. No mention of thefts. Nothing which the GBI was able to tie to Arbury. But perhaps that actual cop doesn’t have your experience in Public Safety.
That one is a little long. Here is a shorter one from an actual lawyer. I am not sure he qualifies in your mind since he has limited or no experience in Mall Security.
Now I have previously posted a link to a short essay from a Georgia Attorney who specializes in Appeals and has been successful.
let me explain why that is interesting in Georgia. Appeals courts here are exceptionally reluctant to question or overturn a Trial Court Judge or a Jury Decision. Getting appeals courts to do that is possible. Just like winning the lottery is possible. It just isn’t likely. The essay I posted was from a lawyer who got decisions overturned. In Georgia.
Glynn County is famous in Georgia for the previously mentioned good old boys network. They ruled one death a suicide. A man who was right handed used his left hand to shoot himself in the head. A week after having surgery on his left shoulder. And could not lift his left arm.
That is one example. Now your extensive experience in public safety. I still have no idea what that is. I mean are you a school crossing guard? Anyway. It isn’t in Georgia. In Georgia we know those three are going to jail. Even their lawyers know it. Because half the press conferences are about how proud the lawyers are to stand beside anyone who is accused of a crime. They’re drumming up more business.
But you are convinced that they are really innocent. Let me say again what I have always said. If you are going to carry a gun you need to know what the laws are. Not what you think they are. Or what you think they should be. And if God forbid you ever use that gun. Say nothing to the police. Get a lawyer. Get a lawyer right away.
Daddy counted on the Good Old Boys network to protect them. And it might have if he didn’t release the video and get the State involved. But he did. And he’s going to prison because of it.
