Greg McMichael as a former policeman had been appointed by the police as the point man or the man to go to regarding all the reports of trespassing at the home under construction....thus he had official sanction to be involved and thus your accusation he was taking the law into his own hands is ridiculous.
Even without his status as a former policeman and being officially tagged as the go to man in this case, just as a private citizen if one has reason to believe there is a criminal running down the street and in fact yo see him with your own eyes in front of your house it is certainly not illegal to follow the suspect in order to help the police apprehend the suspect.
It’s true the act of continually going into that house was a provocative act,, Arbery was told not to go ! Our neighbors supposed to sit there and be terrorized? They followed him until the cops came, he got shot
This is the first I'm hearing of the property owner telling Arbery not to go into the house. When did that happen? Because if anyone ELSE told him not to(besides the police maybe) it doesn't matter because they have about as much authority as my left toe. He didn't steal anything, no one SAW him steal anything, and because the two people involved in his death didn't see him steal anything they had no right to try and Citizens arrest him.
They should go to jail.

Holy God that is not how life works, you don't get to be "Appointed go to man" and then get to do what you want outside of the law. That shit is likely illegal as all hell, but the main point is it doesn't matter if the police made him a Point of Contact because he's a NORMAL CITIZEN and has NO AUTHORITY to detain anyone unless he meets the criteria for a citizens arrest.
Until someone can prove Aubery committed a crime what the Dad and Son did is the only crime here. Because the rules of a Citizens arrest require you are aware of/have directly witnessed said crime. Trespassing? Only if the owner told him to stay away from his under construction home. Stealing? The Homeowner already said nothing was stolen and I've not seen any police report saying stolen property was recovered.
Go directly to jail.
You seem unaware that no citizens arrest was even made. Arguments can be made till the cows come home regarding whether or not they had a legal right to make a citizens arrest.
Greg McMichaels...the father did say or at least was reported as saying they "intended to make a Citizens Arrest" yet no such arrest was made. That is something that is being used by the leftwingers to divert attention from the truth of this case.

The act of detaining in legal custody: the arrest of a criminal suspect. The state of being so detained: a suspect under arrest.
The point is they were trying to make a citizens arrest, by his own words, and in the process the murdered him. So far as we know at the moment. If they weren't trying to make a citizens arrest they should have stayed in the house, and they shouldn't have been trying to do that in the first place. So they should have stayed in the house ANYWAY.
Quote....there is no law against trying to make a citizens arrest....but they did not even try. The most they can be accused of is trying to talk to the suspect. No law against that either. So you are barking up the wrong tree.
The property owner was telling neighbors ppl were entering his property, he got a camera, he told the police Because the police deputized McMichaels as a neighborhood watch.. Get informed before you post
They didn't deputize him at all, where are you GETTING this stuff. I've read some officer told somebody that the dad is someone you can contact to deal with this or something. Which isn't deputizing him. Do you have a link that I can read this nonesense from? Anyway
seriously? Why was he caught running out of the house with a hammer?
Except he wasn't caught running out of the house with a hammer. No video shows him stealing anything from the house or leaving the house with anything.
And go in to a house Travis told him it wise to stay out of?? Then run like you stole something? Lol
Travis doesn't own squat so him saying stay out doesn't mean squat. The owner has to tell him, so he wasn't trespassing.
