Do you mind citing the source of that document you posted last, it would be nice to know who the author is.Where do you see a arrest attempt? The police officerLet me ask you something. If it were you in this situation, would it have even crossed your mind what you would do if the person you're wanting to arrest if he fails to cooperate with you? Other people have rights to and when you're not the police and you're attempting to force them to comply with your demands, all kinds of bad things can happen as we see in this case.Your excuse for Arbery doesn’t make sense,, the video shows him attacking Travis,, with a shot gun in his hand, was he supposed to freeze and hand him the gun? Why didn’t Arbery demand he put the gun down before he accelerated towards him? There is no grey area, this was selfAnd you can't claim self-defense when you initiated the confrontation.Who is guilty of murder ?If your the jury, based on what you saw, that’s it.. is he guilty of murder?Ok, for you.It’s enough for me. NOT GUILTYNot enough. Just one part of it.Not sure how it will go. Without all the evidence to review, it's pure speculation outside of the court proceedings.To me you can charge them with being stupid but Travis had a right to protect him self.Well let's see if the investigation states that as fact, otherwise to state what led up to the death of Arbery be it this or that.Well just take the video,, it’s shows all we need an attack on a man with a gunLet all things be done decent and in order.Of course it is, your son warned him days before to stay off the property, then you see him again running away with something in his hand? How many more times is Arbery going to taunt neighbors with his brazen actions? All actions have consequences.. The boys called him while on the phone with the cops and Arbery attacked a man with a shot gun. Why is that ok? Do you want this neighborhood to continue to be terrorized?It's not possible for the McMichaels to have known his intentions and no, only the police can lawfully stop someone utilizing force. Or a bounty hunter.
All things here are way out of order.
That's why we have law and supposed order in this country.
All we are getting is hearsay when talk about he said she said, so at this point the law kicks in to get to the bottom of this mess. Speculation is all over the place, but that doesn't wash in a case that is as volital as this one is .
we see the video
When you take a life while engaged in self defense it is not called murder but justifiable homicide.
How much sense does it make when you have to arm yourself because you don't know whether the person you're intending on confronting is armed or not? And they were so convinced [erroneously] that Arbery was armed that they rolled him over after he lay dead on the ground to see if he had a gun in his hand which he did not [bummer].
Sounds to me they were hoping he was armed to give them an excuse to shoot him and that Greg McMichael was jonsing for his glory days as a cop when he had the authority to chase down bad guys and ruin their day by arresting them. Well most of the time. At least on those days when his powers to arrest hadn't been revoked.
Defense
If nothing else, the McMichaels will likily be found liable for Arbery's wrongful death and it's much easier to prevail in a civil suit than a criminal one but if the family prevails in criminal court, the civil case should be a slam dunk.
Was in the truck.. there was no attempt, Travis was probably going to yell something at him as he ran by.
In any case the document you posted last cited two laws - the one on Georgia State's citizen's arrest and the one on open carry. I can only presume that the reason for citing these specific laws is because the McMichaels in their "witness" statements told the police that the reason they were pursuing Arbery was so that they could perform a citizen's arrest. And the person who wrote the report used the text of the laws, even though he didn't interpret them properly to justify their decision to not arrest or charge the individuals who are now the defendants in the case.
But to answer your questions, I never said I saw them (in the video) attempt an arrest, that's the reason THEY gave for chasing him, however if they weren't attempting an arrest or planning one what other reason could there be for Travis to have been standing in the road with a shotgun to confront Arbery?
And Gregory McMichael was no longer a police officer at the time of this shooting.
