Heheh. A grammatical tranny.
Had the dead guy ever been arrested? If so,I didn’t know that.Is that photo on the right real or is it just photoshopped?
That plan didn't work out for him, obviously. According to details that I've read - I could be mistaken about this but this is what I've read here at FR on the threads on this subject - he lost his hand to the shotgun while he was grappling around with Junior and then Daddy shot him twice with his .357, then afterwards rolled his dead body over to check him for weapons.
Why shoot him with a .357, twice, if he's already had his hand blown off by a shotgun?
Again, this is just my understanding from what I've read here. Could be incorrect, or not.
If we learned anything from the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, it should be avoiding a rush to judgment. We can’t convict people based on a 90 second news story being presented by a biased media with an obsessive political agenda. Justice must involve a cautious, deliberative process that has proved it is capable of ferreting out the truth. If it’s permitted to do so.
Final sentence is not true (as well as almost being unreadable):
‘But ironically, decades-removed from an era when alleged black offenders would rarely get a fair trial, the McMichaels’ chances, no matter what the facts turn out to be, of any outcome short of life without parole or even the death penalty in this highly politicized and racially charged case is next to nil.’
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Based on previous cases, it’s very likely that they will get a fair trial. George Zimmerman was acquited and Darren Wilson, the cop who shoot Michael Brown, was not even indicted.
I'm willing to believe he was a delinquent sort of character who once carried a weapon into basketball games while underage, and who possibly was involved in a rash of burglaries. Unfortunately we'll never get the answer to the latter now that he's dead, nor will he have the opportunity to pay his debt to society, get a real job and make a decent citizen of himself.
We get to have all the opinions we want about all parties in the situation. We just don't have the right or the authority to DO anything about our opinions, like for instance chase someone down in a pickup and aggressively confront them with drawn weapons, especially, by Georgia law, if we didn't PERSONALLY know of them do something illegal. That would cross a legal line and get us sent to jail in Georgia.
In my state, just the act of chasing after someone and pulling a gun on them, for any reason, would constitute aggravated assault and make you culpable if anyone got hurt or killed.
When he was in high school, Arbery was sentenced to five years probation as a first offender on charges of carrying a weapon on campus and several counts of obstructing a law enforcement officer. He was convicted of probation violation in 2018 after he was charged with shoplifting, court documents show.
I'm pretty sure Arbery didn't do that.
“Video shows him roaming the house under construction at night.”
Have you personally seen the video? If so, then please provide a link.
How many do you want.
The Gateway Pundit published still photos from the homeowner’s security camera video that clearly show Arbery in the house at night in October. It should be noted that the homeowner’s across the street neighbor was called 911 on the date of the shooting and referenced “multiple” burglaries at that property. BTW, Arbery is wearing the same CLOTHING in the October video that he is wearing when he got shot.
If I am jogging down the street and two fat rednecks in a pickup truck chase me down and confront me with a shotgun. I am thinking, "If I run they will shoot me in the back and kill me; if I put my hands up and surrender, they will shoot me in the chest and kill me; but if I fight back, then I might survive the situation."
Based on what has been shown as evidence so far (the videos, the police report, and the DA's statement), and ignoring the spin, it looks to me that the defense will have the better case at showing reasonable doubt that a murder occurred than the prosecution will have proving beyond a reasonable doubt that a murder occurred.
Thank you for the link.
I detect a hint of sarcasm in your reply.
I read all of the articles at your link. I already knew all of it. The elderly couples’ names, their son’s name, when they died, the name of the shooter, the fact that somehow the shooter ended up dead.
What I’d like to know is WHY did this guy shoot those two people? When and how did the state police get involved? They don’t know whether the guy died by his own gun or a police gun?
Yeah, I’d like these questions answered.
Because did this guy shoot these poor people because they were white?
Those are the words I’d like to see since the shots were fired and I could hear the damn things.
Hmmmm.
Well I ain’t buying it.
Your mileage may vary.
Was it Trespassing or was it Burglary?
If you walk across my property I would consider that Trespassing. Misdemeanor here in Texas unless that person has a firearm, then it’s turned into a felony.
Walk across my property and go into one of my buildings and I’m calling it burglary. Felony here in Texas and GA.
Not directed at you but others here have made the comment about walking into construction sites and looking at the work being done. Why some people think it’s not just acceptable but common for people to trespass on another’s property is beyond me. I’m pretty protective of my property.
The fool got justice, and quickly too. Charging a man with a shotgun is usually a fatal mistake.

1) The defendants did NOT chase the suspect. The suspect ran down a dead-end peninsula. They parked the truck and “cut him off at the pass” because they knew that was the only way out of their neighborhood.
2) You don’t have to have DNA evidence and sworn affidavits to effectuate a citizens arrest. You need PROBABLE CAUSE to believe ANY crime has been committed in your “presence” or “within your immediate knowledge.” In other words, you don’t have to see the crime to have probable cause.
3) In this case, the father personally saw the suspect sprinting from the house. He was also aware that this SAME SUSPECT had burgled the house before and was a suspect in multiple thefts in the neighborhood. The very fact that the suspect is SPRINTING full speed from a house that he previously burgled is more than enough PC to effectuate an arrest.
4) The father did not draw a gun until after the suspect was trying to disarm and kill his son.
50 The only reason the son grabbed a shotgun is because Arbery had STOLEN his handgun out of his truck 3 weeks before this incident. BTW, it is perfectly legal to hold a shotgun in a public space in Georgia.
