The father and son were renovating houses. There were several break ins reported for mostly copper wire being stolen. They saw Aubrey trespassing illegally in construction areas. (Obviously a fan of sh!t box 1960’s architecture) They placed him under citizens arrest. He resisted, assaulted the father and tried to grab a shotgun away from the son. According to Georgia’s Stand Your Ground law, citizens can use deadly force to defend themselves, other people, or property if they believe such force is necessary to prevent death, bodily injury, or a felony. The father was assaulted. Aubrey has his hands on a shotgun barrel and is trying to wrestle a shotgun aimed at him. He was lawfully placed under Citizens arrest for illegal trespassing. It was a legal shooting. Again just caved to wok mob.
They didn’t actually see him take anything. He didn’t actually take anything. They chased him down in multiple cars. “Trapped him like a rat” (their words, under oath), and then were shocked when he tried to defend himself. And murdered him.
He was not lawfully placed under citizens arrest. Hence the conviction. It wasn’t a legal shooting, again CONVICTED. Nobody caved. They’re murderers.
At the time of the incident, Georgia law allowed a citizen's arrest provided there was reasonable suspicion a felony had been committed; in GA, criminal trespass is a misdemeanor.
Arbery was a dirt bag, but their, "reasonable suspicion," that a felony had been committed basically boiled down to, "You ain't from around here, boy."
I had never previously seen any information on this. When was the father assaulted?
