“ARBERY ran to the right of the truck and upon arriving at the front of the truck exercised a 90 degree turn to the left “
...................................................................................
You are making that up because they were blocked from view.

They both appeared fightin moving to the left.
**************************************
Sorry, I’m not making it up. Look at the image in post 75 up thread. That image was taken at about the time of the first shot. You will see that the son (his one leg and foot) is halfway still to the left of the truck while the rest of him is on the left part of the front of the truck. That was his location at the instant that Arbery assaulted him in the attempt to take the shotgun away. The FACT described in the preceding sentence will be verified at trial by one or more expert witness taking the speed of light and the speed of sound into consideration VERY precisely.

So, no, at the instant of first physical contact the son was NOT moving to the left it AVERY was after making his sudden left turn.

“Arbery’s mental health records and prior convictions help explain his apparent aggressive nature and his possible thought pattern to attack an armed man,” Barnhill wrote.

attack an armed man...a man shooting at him? Running away was not an option.

It’s a hard show to watch.

Agreed.

Though really well done.

Just slaughter really.

Good lord, those boys go away forever, some of them anyway, after pulling the trigger just once.

They really have been forsaken by the scumbags who supposedly represent and champion them, chief among them the scumbag Obama.

Who needs facts when the headline by the hyphenated POS crayon writer settled it. This is usually a localized story and nationalized for political purposes.

This was another gift to the left after the gift of Corona. They wanted more of a racial divide going and now have this all summer. For whatever reason,expect more sensational events with blacks as victims and whites and /or white police with guns if it can sh*tshape narrative.

“Perhaps it will help explain what turned a VERBAL encounter into a PHYSICAL encounter:....really?“
**********************************************
Yes, really. It’s the old hair trigger “You dissin’ me, you dissin’ me?” attitude. You may fortunately not have encountered that ‘tude in your life but I have had to deal with it too many times in my life.

The decedent was at the rear of the Truck, then proceeded along the passenger side of the truck and then turned left in front of the truck and attempted to disarm the person with the shotgun. Pretty simple.

You might agree, but from my perspective, this was certainly not the actions of an innocent jogger. Again, if someone armed pulls up and directs me to put my hands up, and or tells me they're placing me under citizens arrest, the very last thing I would ever do is run 20 feet at them and attempt to disarm them.

Those are not the actions of a normal innocent person out for a jog.

“I saw that video, several questions, who shot it and where has it been for the last two months. Also has it been edited?
I find this tape suspicious.”
***********************************************
Experts will be able to tell whether it has been edited. It certainly doesn’t appear edited to me. What do you find suspicious about it?

Apparently, he was previously on parole for a violent crime for 5 years. Probably nothing we should concern ourselves with.

He clearly charged the son and was struggling to take the shotgun from the son for who knows what purpose

I'd guess his purpose was self-preservation. If I'm walking or jogging and some stranger points a shotgun at me, I'm going to assume his purpose is to rob me or kill me. Criminals pulling guns on passersby don't get to question the purpose of the people they pull guns on.

How would know it hasn’t been edited. Too many examples in recent years of video that looks one way but turns out to be something else. You don’t find it odd that video just now turning up? Way too may unanswered questions here.

And if the person pointing the shotgun tells you you're suspected of burglary, put your hands up, you're under citizens arrest, you're going to do what?

Run for your life, not at the gun?

As someone who has jogged, run, and walked most of my life i have seen any number of outfits people wear doing that including Blue Jean shorts. If that is your key evidence that doesn’t fly. For all you know the guy was a long distance runner. You been watching reruns of “Car 54”?

93% of black murders are committed by other blacks

but the way this idiotic country is

the only ones that ever get any coverage or any outrage from blacks are the 7% that die from non-blacks, and most of those are self defense.
