Attorney: ‘No precedent’ for arrest of Roddie Bryan
AJC ^ | 5/22/20 2 hours ago | Christian Boone

Posted on 05/22/2020 1:33:46 PM PDT by conservative98

The arrest of William “Roddie” Bryan, the Glynn County man who shot the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s final seconds alive, constitutes a “substantial expansion of criminal liability in Georgia,” his lawyer told reporters Friday.

Kevin Gough, who has maintained his client’s innocence, said there is “no precedent” for Bryan’s prosecution.

A shooting that is justified only loses its justification for shooting once the threat stops.

If you state he’s justified in shooting the hand, then you must accept justification for the body shots as Aubrey continued after the shotgun.

The head of the GBI disagrees with him.

The head of the GBI is a Lavrentiy Beria wannabe.

He is a good little communist. He does just what his boss directs.

Two Thoughts.

1. Crump and the BLM crowd pushed and pushed the GBI to arrest Bryan. They caved in and did as ordered.

2. They are just using Bryan and his arrest as a skeezy incentive to get him to turn states evidence on the McMichaels.

The homeowner had no part in the attack at all. He did not call these men to do any of this.

That's not true. In one of the threads last week, someone posted a text message from the detective investigating the thefts and trespassing from that owner, and he specifically said for Mr. English to call Mr. McMichael because he was a former law enforcement officer that lived in the neighborhood.

It will come out that Mr. English did in fact contact Mr. McMichael about the recurring "visitor" to his property at night.

Texting while driving? Is that the charge

Sure there’s precedent. Didn’t you see the last episodes of Seinfeld. They all 4 got arrested recording a crime.

“We’re gonna catch the guy who’s been stealing from us, we’re gonna take him in, and we’re gonna record the whole thing.”

Ya think that’s how it went down?

And the FBI thought it was ok to lie on their reports so they could charge Flynn with something.

Not saying the head of the GBI is wrong, just saying, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "No trust until I verify".

No. He wasn't wearing a mask.

it sounds like they were chasing him down in their cars.

It sounds that way because the media has been portraying it that way non stop. They are liars, and they are very badly misrepresenting the situation.

They are pulling the same old "Hands up! Don't shoot!" lie that they pulled before.

As the fellow pointed out earlier in the thread, if the guy in the car was "chasing", he could have caught him quickly. More accurately, he was "following."

It has been posted that he tried to cut off the victim,thereby assisting in preventing him from escaping.

And how does one do that in a car with a man on foot? You think you can cut me off with a car? Not likely.

I don’t believe for one minute that he deserves to get off.

Then you are a twisted individual. None of those men did anything wrong, despite all the media lies to the contrary.

The only person who did something wrong was that piece of sh*t that attacked a man holding a gun.

You need to be plagued with burglars so you can get the right frame of mind regarding them.

It was Gregory McMichael who told police that Bryan had tried to assist them in stopping Arbery during earlier attempts. Gregory McMichael’s statement to the police is why Roddie Bryan has been arrested. If he had only been recording, I doubt they would have arrested him. But he wasn’t just recording; not according to Gregory McMichael.

So if someone has a problem with Bryan being arrested, they need to take it up with Gregory McMichael, who was stupid enough to talk to police about a man’s death without a lawyer.

______________________________________

The GBI had a press conference today. It was established that “The Jogger” was chased and caught. But escaped.

Later, once again was chased and caught. But escaped.

Finally he was for the third time chased and caught. He did not escape that time.

The fact he stupidly decided to attack a shotgun wielding man is all I need to know to decide “Not Guilty”.

But the “hot pursuit”? That may well be “all she wrote” for these three white men.

Bryan was arrested because Arbery's mother and her lawyer started screaming for his arrest merely because he took a video of the event.

The GBI took action on the only charge they had (it's not against the law to make a video).

No, Bryan was arrested because if Gregory and Travis McMichael committed murder (as they’re currently charged with doing), then anyone who assisted them in the murder is guilty as well. And since Gregory McMichael told police that Roddie Bryan helped them, Roddie Bryan has been arrested.

I don’t know how anyone would expect Bryan not to be arrested, given the charges pending against the McMichaels and the statements made by Gregory McMichael to police. If you have someone on trial for murder, how do you explain not arresting and charging the guy that one of the murderers says helped them do it? It’s obvious Bryan was set to be arrested.

Sadly (thanks, media!) we’ll never hear the real story.

That may be so. But he is still head of the GBI.

You should send a letter to the Attorney General ccing the Governor detailing how the Head of the GBI has totally botched this investigation. Charging and arresting people without probable cause. Arresting people for merely video taping. Arresting a individual for only defending himself wit a shotgun against an unarmed man. His totally inept interpretation of Georgia law, especially Georgia's Citizen's Arrest law. How he has allowed himself to be intimidated by outside influences. and hoe his actions are politically motivated. I am sure that both the Attorney General and Governor would appreciate your input. And it would help you to clear your chest and accomplish something useful instead if tilting windmills. You can advocate for your guys where it would do some good.

I don't suppose those lying bastards will elaborate on how he was "caught"? Seems to me if someone is "caught", they usually don't get away, and especially not three times.

More like they are claiming "caught" means "got near enough to talk to him." That is not how I define the word "caught."

The fact he stupidly decided to attack a shotgun wielding man is all I need to know to decide “Not Guilty”.

That is the only relevant fact in the whole case. Nobody needs to be informed of anything other than that single fact. Nothing else is germane.
