Finally someone who can read and grasp the germane sections of GA law that pertain to this case. All of the other emotionally driven “legal experts” should go study law and pass the bar. “Close proximity is established by the new video footage of the felony burglary committed by the victim Ahmaud Arbery. Citizens arrest would have been justified and in doing so carrying a long gun is also permissible under GA law. Ahmaud can be seen attacking the man with the gun, striking the man and attempting to gain possession of the gun. The man with the gun was justified under GA law to use the gun in self defense. Case closed.
“ ...Citizens arrest would have been justified and in doing so carrying a long gun is also permissible under GA law....”

Quite correct. And, further, open carry is the law in Georgia so folks can open carry whether trying to do a citizen’s arrest or not.
Sorry, Citizen’s arrest doesn’t give you the right to chase down a man, yell at him that you “just want to talk”, while toting guns, get out of your vehicle to fight the man, get upset when the man was beating you, and shoot the man and then get to claim Self Defense for an illegal police action that you created and didn’t go your way.
None of that was supported in the the laws that dusty road posted. In fact, it proves my point and others on here who are saying the aggressor was in the wrong and should be in prison.
Since you seem to be the Free Republic legal expert, please direct us to the video of a felony burglary.
The State of Georgia doesn’t agree with you.They,in their ignorance, charged the father, son team with murder. You, the Georgia Law expert, should enlighten them.
