“They are angry at him for filming Arbery attacking the man with the gun.”

This means that the GBI believes that when Greg, Travis and William left the house to pursue Ahmaud, they knew that the encounter may end in shooting.

All that matters now is who cuts the first deal with the DA.

In a case with this kind of publicity, there won’t be any deals. It’ll go to trial.

Only two in that equation. They can’t give the break to the actual shooter - Travis.

Any encounter may end in shooting.

This is a modern lynching of anyone who dares confront a black man.

Consider if Arbery had been white, and shot in the same scenario.

The initial prosecutor's decision would never have been questioned by the Media.

That's how I interpret it as well.

If you attempt to arrest someone while brandishing firearms, you knew that the encounter may end in shooting.

They attempted the arrest without having witnessed an actionable crime.
The intended arrestee died.
Felony murder.
...no matter how I look at this for a way to exonerate McMichaels & Co.

Camera guy was acting as part of the posse, so reaps the posse’s reward.
