Once he ran around the truck to punch and grab the shot gun he was the perpetrator. That put it in another light completely. He knew why they wanted to question him, and why he ran from the home. He was seen. Yes they should have waited for the cops, but the guy with the shot gun was clearly attacked. |
That may have been the intent, but he wasn't blocked. |
|
Sorry, but men armed with guns and trying to run down a person on a public street with their vehicles - de facto - can't claim self-defense. They were not defending their "castle." They were in pursuit, not retreat.
Arbery had every reason to fear for his life throughout the encounter. |
|
fyi They never tried to run them down. Actually right after the incident Bryan is on video telling the officer A. tried to open the passenger side door.
This is the problem with trial by media. Hopefully all the facts will come out. |
So that deserves death penalty? |
What if it was a cop instead that asked him to stop because he had questions? Once he attacked the man with the gun it was another in a series of bad decisions done by all imo. |
What if it were Alien or Predator? It wasn't a cop and these guys had no business confronting someone with a gun, even if they thought he was trespassing in an EMPTY HOUSE. We are not vigilantes. Aubery had every right to try to not get shot, to fight for his life if he was scared. |
He was under no obligation to answer their questions. They were not the property owner. They were not authorized to act on behalf of the property owner (security guards.) They were not the police. He had every right to walk (run) away from them. They had no right to hunt him down and trap him. |
True. He could have run in many directions and off the street. He instead chose to assault shotgun guy. |
Off the street where? They were in a neighborhood with homes. On to someone's private property? Isn't trespassing on private property what got him chased down by some vigilantes with guns in the first place? |

I wonder if they can find fair and impartial jurors. This may take awhile-

If he had, they would have shot him even sooner, but in the back. |
No. They wanted to see why he was in the home, and detain him until the cops arrived. They didn't expect him to turn and rush the guy with the gun. |
They should have stayed out of it and just called the police. As a result, they created the entire situation. I would find them guilty of manslaughter and give them a 10-15 year sentence….Next case |
I agree. No one should take the law into their own hands. I understand they kept seeing him there, and a gun was stolen but let the cops handle it. All involved played a role, but yes I would guess they will get some significant jail time. |
