Lawyer or not, nothing happened that justified running this guy down.

Call the cops. Take a video. Follow the guy. The cops would find him.

He was not posing a threat to anyone. He certainly was not posing a threat to anyone’s life.

The use of force in this case is not warranted in any “reasonable man” theory.

We are dancing around the entire issue here. These were two rednecks that did not like the black guy in their neighborhood. It got out of hand.

What they did was wrong. I wish I could be on the jury. None of your legal issues matter.

Thank you. Racist, or not, is not the issue. They should have left him alone and not chased him. It LOOKS racist.

Greg McMichael knew Arbery. McMichael was the investigator when Arbery was arrested for shoplifting. McMichael knew Arbery had a prior weapon charge. In all liklihood, Arbery also recognized McMichael.

Georgia man charged with killing Ahmaud Arbery previously investigated him

McMichael, 64, a former Glynn County cop who worked as an investigator in the Brunswick DA’s office, helped prosecute Arbery in the past, Barnhill said.

So, please tell me. How long have you lived in Georgia?

I have been a resident of Georgia fifty eight of my sixty seven years.   Please, now pound sand.   You have no dog in this hunt.

“None of your legal issues matter.”
The law doesn’t matter.
Sorry friend, but you are prejudiced.
The lawyers for both sides would prolly agree during voir dire to show you the door.

They did all 3.

Some are saying that the second 2 are illegal.

Anything to back that up? Prior incidents? Tweets/social media posts? Comments on tape? Witnesses who say these 2 are known racists?

I agree with you. What little I know about the law I learned from Judge Wapner on the original People’s Court. So I don’t know a whole lot. But when a non-cop grabs a shotgun and goes chasing after some other guy down a public street, shotgun guy is recklessly escalating the situation.

I believe there is something in old English common law called the “reasonable man” theory. A person is innocent if he behaved as a reasonable man would. Shotgun guy did not behave a reasonable man would.

On the other hand, the victim behaved as a reasonable man might. Regardless of any alleged criminal acts before he got chased down, a reasonable man just might try to disarm some nut who was advancing on him with a shotgun. It’s a fear-for-your-life kind of thing.

See he must have seen that movie where Al Pacino says to charge the guy with the gun. Me I listen to the guy with the gun. How many times to you have to be a victim while waiting for the cops to get out of the Dunkin Donuts parking lot.

Lol.

If anyone believes old egg+Bert is a lawyer I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.

Unless anything else surfaces to the contrary, this is exactly correct.

“What they did was wrong. I wish I could be on the jury. None of your legal issues matter.”

If legal issues don’t matter, why would there need to be a jury?

This is the problem with blue-state culture.

Your ignorance is on full display. Legal issues don’t matter? The truth doesn’t matter? The facts don’t matter? The law doesn’t matter?

___________________________________________________

I don’t call people idiots on the Free Republic because it is rude to do so and I think this is the best site on the web but you sure make it difficult.

If someone runs 14 feet and grabs your gun what are you going to do?

If you see someone stealing from a neighbors house you will ignore it? You must be from the city. You see, in the rural areas of our country the cops can’t possibly catch bad guys in the act after being called, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “when seconds count the cops are only minutes away”, it is a very true statement. Good neighbors look out for each other. You likely are not a good neighbor. When stuff is stolen it is simply gone, you are never likely to recover it. Your hard earned money gone to some worthless thief.

I would not be one who would say the thief deserved a death sentence but the thief attacked another man and tried to steal his weapon, what the thief would have done with the weapon is anybody’s guess, but my guess is that he might have used it and to me that makes it a justifiable shoot.

Do I feel sorry for the dead guy? Well, I’m trying but just can’t seem to get there. Who knows what he would have done in the future when he might have acquired a gun.
