I watched various video on the internet. He was in someone else's home that was already framed in.  [b]They didn't appear to block him in as reported, he could have easily left the situation yet he punched and tried to get the shot gun. [/b]There are multiples problems with this case. [/quote]

I have no idea what video you watched that showed him NOT being blocked in, and with the opportnity to "leave the situation."   That's definitely not what I saw in the video.

However, I do wish they'd stop referring to him as "doing nothing more than jogging."  He was not a runner/jogger.   His murder has aboslutely nothing to do with running.[/quote]

[b]He could have run left or right, or further down the road. [/b]Instead he ran around the truck, and violently punched him over and over while grabbing the shot gun. The guy that video taped it just got there as it happened. He shouldn't be in jail. What if Arbery did get the gun?

Arbery had been chased down by men in a truck with a gun and was fighting for his life.    That's why he punched and grabbed the gun.   He knew he was trapped and couldn't out run a bullet by funning "left or right" (where?  Into people's yards?  He still wouldn't have been able to out run a bullet.)   It's very reasonable to see that he felt his only chance was to attempt to disarm them.

I don't know enough about the guy who taped from behind and exactly what his charges are to speak to whether or not he should be in jail. [/quote]

I'm the pp that started my post "Arbery had been chased down by men..."

I'm watching the video more carefully now and I'm not understanding why you are saying "he could ahve run left or right or further down the road.   
He ran up and their truck was blocking the road right down the middle.   The man with the gun is standing to the left of the truck.   AA DID run to pass the truck on the right side, so it seems he was going to try to run past them.   Then you hear the other man (not AA) yell something, you can see AA's feet run towards him, and then the gun is shot.
Again, I don't understand why you say that he could have run in a different direction--it appears he tried to do that as much as possible--if he was looking for a physical confrontation he would have charged towards the man with the gun on the left side of the truck.  Instead he chose to go on the opposite side of the truck, as far as possible from the man with the gun while still trying to just get past them.[/quote]
