Please watch the video again, Arbery tried to flee his attacker by jogging around the truck on the opposite side of Travis, Travis sees this and moves to the front of the truck to meet Arbery, Travis discharges shot gun at Arbery at this point, this is shot number 1

Shot number 2 is off camera

Shot number 3 is when arbery tries to take control of the shot gun and dies

Arbery had every right to defend himself against his assailant

That is why the 2 men are in jail right now and a 3rd one a few days ago.

Ignore the leftist garbage and look at all the facts, the video, the police report.

McMicheals make a statement that Travis only shot Arbery twice, but the video and the coroner state Arbery was shot three times. Why did McMichaels lie about that? He lied to the cops

McMichaels did not "lie to the cops". He did not correctly remember the details of the incident. This happens all the time, even to Police officers in their after-action reports Eyewitness and participant statements are surprisingly unreliable.

It is a major reason that defense lawyers tell their clients to shut up immediately and assert right to silence when the cops arrive. It is a major reason that cautious Police departments use body cameras.

Ignore the leftist garbage and look at all the facts, the video, the police report.

I have looked at the police report. It is very incomplete, as of course it would be, since the officers had not yet seen the video and were relying on participant statements at the time the report was written.

I have also looked at the video frame-by-frame. Arbery has already closed with McMichael Jr. at Shot 1. Shot 2 is out of view. In shot 3, Arbery is still attempting to get the shotgun, but turns away and runs a few steps before collapsing.

Looks like a sustained, deliberate (and suicidal) attack to me, by someone on an adrenaline rush who does not perceive the severity of his injuries.
