if you attack someone, punch someone and try to grab the person’s gun, you are essentially committing suicide. It is legal in Georgia to make a citizens arrest, it is also legal to open carry. The illegal action was taken by the black guy. It’s not much different than the Zimmerman-Martin case.
It is illegal to perform an citizen’s arrest on a suspect for a crime you did not witness or have immediate knowledge of.
Seeing a black man running down the street isn’t enough knowledge to know that he actually committed a crime. Therefor McMichaels was in the wrong
A gun also doesn’t give the license to make arrests of people you think committed crimes. That is the big problem here. Because now we have a dead man. See the problem?
