In previous posts, I have put the word "jogger" in quotes because it was relatively clear he was not truly jogging. But again, it does not matter what happened before the interaction if the two idiots did not witness a crime being committed. And I am very tired of explaining this fact to people who just don't know how the law works. So I'm not going to do so any more.
You are pontificating on a subject that you clearly are not an expert on. Your claim that it “does not matter what he was doing“ before he was chased is asinine. If you watch the second video, this guy sprints out of the house and runs right in front of the Defendants’ ‘home. The elder McMichael saw this You don’t actually have to witness with your own eyes the felony occur. You simply must have knowledge that a felony is PROBABLY occurring or just occurred. Probable cause is an objective standard. The defendants will argue that they had probable cause that a felony was being committed for several reasons. First, this particular house and their neighborhood has been targeted with thefts and burglaries very recently. Second, the house had been burglarized many times. Third, as this is an all-white neighborhood, Arbery clearly didn’t live there. Fourth, he was personally observed sprinting out of the house. When asked to stop BEFORE guns were retrieved, he ran. That is probable cause to believe he was a fleeing burglar. By the way, just because you would cower inside of your house and not chase these guys does not mean they had no legal right to do so. Georgia follows the common law, which means it’s citizens can pursue and even arrest suspected felons if they have PC.
