Didn't I see video of Arbery going around behind the men and trying to grab the shotgun from the man holding it?
And I don't remember anyone pointing the gun at him before that point--when he grabbed hold of it and tried to wrestle it away from the white guy.
If Arbery was out for a jog, I don't get why he didn't just pull out his phone and dial 9-11 if he thought the guys in the truck had dangerous intentions. (And I find it hard to believe he didn't have a phone.)
I don’t remember the exact sequence of events, but whether they pointed the gun at him first should not matter. The reason being is that they were chasing him with vehicles and were the aggressors, he was trying to defend himself.
I don’t like thieves or crime and I understand that it is frustrating waiting for the police to act, but even if he had stolen something it would not justify chasing him down with guns. Had he raped or killed a family in their home then by all means chase him down, but if anything he only committed a property crime.
