So let me get this straight. A black man gets hunted down on the street and killed by vigilantes and you are perfectly fine with that.
Nice narrative, but that is NOT the facts of what happened. They "followed him in a vehicle after observing a possible crime" and acted LEGALLY within the laws of Georgia. Following someone is not a crime in Georgia, carry weapons openly is not a crime in Georgia. The McMichals never laid a finger on Mr. Arbery and broke no laws prior to Mr. Arbery charging and attacking Travis McMicheal and assaulting him and attempting to take his gun. Standing on the street holding a loaded shotgun is perfectly LEGAL in Georgia. Sorry you don't like that. Mr. Arbery had a choice, he didn't have to attack a guy standing there holding a gun, he chose to.
Let's say I am standing on the street with a pistol in a holster in plain view legal open carry and some ******* tries to take my gun and shoot me with it, am I not justified to respond with deadly force? Or is that only allowed if I am black?
Thats literally what happened here. Yes, the Mcmicheals could have done things different, they acted stupid BUT in this case being stupid isn't illegal. Good luck to the prosecution PROVING the McMicheals done anything illegal prior to Mr. Arbery attacking him. He was within his legal rights to stand on the street with a loaded shotgun, he was within his rights to drive around in a truck with a loaded long gun in it.
But in this case an armed man fired at police and you fault the cops?
Well they kicked his door in and started shooting, what was he supposed to do in this case considering he watch them shoot his G/F? they were in plain clothes and it was dark he didn't know they were the cops.
The cops were certainly wrong by storming the wrong residence. Problem being they didn't know it was the wrong residence at the time. Thinking they were at the right residence and being fired upon their reaction is understandable.
Its their job to know they were at the wrong residence, and they shot an innocent person and broke into a residence they had no legal warrant for nor any legal reason to be there and they killed someone firing 20 shots in a dark house.
It's certainly no less tragic and wrong. But to stand behind citizens hunting a man in the streets and killing him because she, "was a very nice and well thought of young woman" verses the picture you painted of Ahmaud Arbery is quite obvious here.
It seems you care more about who was killed than the legality of them being killed.
As I said, they didn't "hunt him down" they followed him in a vehicle. they even asked him numerous times to stop and that the police were on their way and they just wanted to talk and wait and he refused and the McMicheals didn't try to tackle him or physical detain him in any way. At the end of that video they are just standing there, they allowed Arbery to run around the truck and were going to let him keep running, you see Travis McMicheal walk in that direction with the gun still down at his side and he says something to Arbery and Arbery attacks him.
The law is not on your side in this case, the law says its Self Defense. When a person acts lawfully and is attacked by someone, thats the legal definition of self defense. Open Carry is legal in Georgia, following someone in a vehicle is legal in Georgia, and being able to defend yourself after being attacked is also legal.
I painted no picture of Ahmed Arbery but the truth. He did try to take a loaded gun into a high school basketball game, that's true its on his record. How he was even allowed to walk the streets after that is beyond me, but thats just stating facts, not painting a picture.
This lady was a "nice young woman" she was EMT, she worked to save peoples lives, and she was shot to death by police simply for being at home asleep in her bed, unlike Arbery who attacked a legal gun owning citizen that was practicing his constitutional and state legal right to open carry.
If McMicheal would have shouldered his weapon and pointed it at Arbery it would have been a crime, but he didn't. they never tried to restrain or detain him. He refused to talk to them or wait for the police to arrive. It was clear they were willing to let him run right around the truck and keep running, its clear they were not going to stop him, just words, and Arbery attacked a guy who at that point was acting lawful...thats self defense no matter how you shake it.
Again, if your carrying a loaded pistol on your belt in legal open carry and someone tries to take your gun and shoot you with it, you have the legal right in Georgia to respond with deadly force. Arbery didn't have to attack that guy, he could have kept running. Just like the McMicheals didn't have to follow him, but again following isn't illegal, attacking someone and trying to take their gun is.
the lies your post got just shows the racial bias that is present here. No one cares what the law says, all they care about is pushing a racial far left agenda, not evaluating a case based on the laws as written in the State of Georgia.
