His mama claimed he was out for a random jog... and the masses said Amen. Hang the father and the son!

Who would develop that narrative? Gosh, that’s a real head scratcher. I’m going to have to put on my thinking cap for that. Because we’ve never had black criminals cast as innocent victims by the race hustle industry. We’ve never found nooses only to find out race hustlers put them there. We’ve never found out that the gentle giant murdered by the car in the hands up don’t shoot was anything but

The family started the jogger narrative. The mother probably saw dollar signs at the beginning but the dirty prosecutors let the killers off.

But now with the video release, momma is going to be rich.

In Florida that is the way it works also. A guy in Clear Water, Florida Had a CC Permit. He then appointed himself the police of a parking lot near by. He then initiated a confrontation with another party about parking in a handicap parking space. Resulting with him shooting the other party who happened to be unarmed. He claimed self defense and that he was covered under Florida's,"Stand your Ground Law". His problem was that The State Attorney disagreed with him. The Jury disagreed with him. And the Judge disagreed with him. He will be "Standing Hid Ground" in a Florida Prison for the next 30 years. Less 15%.

Before this is over these guys will learn the same lesson this gut did.

If trespassing had nothing to do with the confrontation then neither did the pursuit.

The fact of self defense only began after Arbery started the physical assault.

Plain and simply, Arbery started the fight.

Very different. A man walked out and found that psycho going after his woman aggressively because she was illegally parked. Like any normal man he show up with the guy away. The guy pulled his gun, and the victim backed up. The CCW man with a long record of harassing people, and threatening people with a gun murdered him in cold blood. Nothing like that happened here

“You cannot pursue someone and then claim self-defense.”

This was the claim in the Trayvon Martin case. The Florida jury didn't buy Mr. Crumps argument that time.

previous burglaries.

Are you sure about that?

Local press stated there was only one burglary report (from a car) in the neighborhood in the months leading up to this event.

Wanna guess whose car and what was taken?

In Georgia, Felony Murder can be applied to a person not committing the act but present and involved in the crime.
_________________________________________________________
No, “felony murder” means, in the context of this case, that the elder McMichael was conspiring with his son to commit a felony, and as a result of that felony, even though dad did not kill Arbery, he is held liable under the felony-murder rule. The typical felony murder case is the get-away driver in a bank robber. The co-conspirators go into the bank and kill the teller. All co-conspirators guilty of felony murder, even the ones who did not pull the trigger. Terry Nichols of OKC bombing fame/shame is a perfect example. His defense at trial was “Terry Nichols wasn’t there (in OKC).” Doesn’t matter. He conspired with Tim McVeigh and is thus guilty of murder. My point: There has to be an underlying felony separate and apart from the shooting that led to the shooting. So my question stands: What felony did these guys commit BEFORE the gun went off?

Why did the family start a false narrative? Would a truthful narrative serve the family better?

Would a truthful narrative serve the purpose of justice better?

“This was the claim in the Trayvon Martin case.”

It was a false claim. The confrontation was initiated by Martin. Here, the white guys, armed with shotguns, initiated the contact.

The same house had been hit multiple times. Go to the Gateway Pundit website to see the still photos of the October 2019 burglary with pictures of Arbery. The 911 caller referenced multiple break ins at the house (or illegal entries, since the house had no doors).

Wrong! Pursuit initiates contact. Arbery’s trespassing involved no contact with anyone.

Yeah, I looked at houses under construction, too, daytime, like this. I never saw tools that I remember.

I was having or (about to have) a house built at that time. So I was very interested in layouts, etc. Plus looking at some like mine to see what other folks were doing with the same design.

At that point, that was the only way he could have come out of it with his life.

One could just as easily say that if Arbery had successfully wrestled the gun away from McMichael he would have killed McMichael with it. We don't know that. And we don't know what would've happened if Arbery had just kept jogging past. He had already jogged past the guy in the back of the truck without incident. What we do know, because it's clear on the video, is that Arbery attacked McMichael.

1. Carrying the shotgun was legal.

2. Trying to make a citizen's arrest was legal because the McMichaels had a reasonable suspicion that Arbery might be the one who was recently burglarizing neighborhood homes.

3. Street cops make arrests nearly every day. Cops carry guns every day. They don't use them on every arrest, in fact it's rare that they have to use their guns. So why do they carry guns? The answer is: just in case. Why did McMichael have a weapon for this attempted arrest? Just in case. And in this case he had to use it because he was clearly attached.

This case is similar to the Michael Brown case where officer Wilson was attacked and had to use deadly force as well.

In the end, Treyvon Martin, Michael Brown, and now Ahmaud Arbery all died for the same reason: they attacked men who had guns. Sad but true.

That is not going anywhere when it goes to trial. The shooter negated that when he committed aggravated assault which turned into aggravated battery which turned into felony murder. Those who believe that has a self defense case should volunteer to represent him when it goes to trial. And it is going to trial. The only question is will it be State Court or Federal Court. Should the Grand Jury No Bill which is very unlikely, the Feds will pick it up.

Justice would never have been served without the video. Remember that. The mother didn’t know what happened. The most the mother could have hoped for was money at that point. But without the video no one listened and even the prosecutor buried the case. Why would she ever think that justice would be done?
