He fought with a man who had a shotgun and 2 other guys for backup. I understand his anger at being chased and held at gunpoint but I would not have fought with them, I don’t think, but he made his choice. I wasn’t there.

Correct, neither you or I were there.

The other side of the argument you're making is "fight or flight" when fear takes over. It's reasonable IMO to assume that Arbery believed his life was in danger and "fight" took over.

I think if you polled FR, it'd be fairly split down the middle of who'd fight and who'd run in a case where three people have confronted/cornered you and one has a gun.

Agreed.

Arbry may have thought: “These crackers are gonna kill me no matter what!”

No one can judge without being in that situation.

The actual shooter doomed his dad and neighbor. I bet they’d like to shoot HIS ass right now.
