‘You’re not allowed to defend yourself against black people according to the current “justice system”.’
well, think of it this way; you’re walking down a street, not your own neighborhood, and you may or may not have committed some unspecified crime...then two armed men, who have no direct knowledge of your ‘crime’, overtake you in a truck and one of them confronts you with a firearm in his hands...
you say, ‘oh sh&t’, and try and grab the weapon; it goes off and you are shot, and injured severely, which injuries will cost you tens of thousands of dollars to remediate...
so, consistent with your self defense contention, you would tell the authorities that the shooter was merely defending himself against you, and you would not be seeking damages in open court so you could pay your medical bills...right?
Well, you could think of it that way... if you don't give a crap about the truth. They knew who Arbery was because he was captured on video several times entering that house in the middle of the night. They also knew a gun was stolen by someone and Occam's razor says it was probably the thief Arbery.
Likewise, Arbery was large, young and strong, and he might have been armed with that stolen pistol. You would have to be an idiot to try to confront this guy with nothing. He would have whipped all three of those men in a physical fight.
Arbery did not need to go near those men. The police had been called, and there were sirens approaching. They arrived minutes later. Arbery could have sat and waited, but because he was a thief, he knew he would get arrested if he did, and he was already out of jail on probation.
Stupid bastard charged at a man holding a shotgun and got himself killed when the man holding the shotgun did what any rational person would have done.
