You are seemingly not understanding how this political motivated prosecution works. It works exactly like this.

In reality, Gregory McMichael can help him now. there is only one person that can help him now. That is the head of the GBI. They can take their arguments as to why he should not have arrested him and request that he drop the charges. Arguing their case on Free Republic is not going to help their guy. No matter how much they agree among themselves.
I wouldn't expect *ANYONE* to get arrested in the case, and the only reason anyone is is because race baiting poverty pimps have made a big hue and cry about another black man getting killed. They only care about black deaths when they aren't caused by black people. They are silent on the far larger numbers of murders committed in black on black crime.
Had this guy been white, none of these cases would have been filed. Nobody would care. The guy would have gotten what he deserved for attacking a man armed with a shotgun.
I think black people should be treated the same way white people should be treated. I don't believe in having two different standards of justice.
Arbery was a violent thug, and he made the fatal mistake of attacking a man armed with a shotgun.
First time for everything.
"I want a lawyer. Lawyer. L. A. W. Y. E. R."

In reality, the FBI knew what they were doing was wrong. That is why it was covered up.
And yes, in time this case will end up in Court. where a Judge will shake the grain from the chaff and define the issue;s’ in controversy.
However, again reality rears its head. Once it reaches a courtroom, it becomes a fight between the two lawyers to convince a jury to vote in their favor. I almost over used that word,”reality” did not I?
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.
By caught, I think they mean stopped. After the third time Arbery was stopped, he apparantly decided to quite running and fight. Normal people would have surrendered. But The Jogger was NOT normal.
Whether one can cut off a running man with a vehicle or not is not the problem.
The problem is that he was trying to do so.
By doing that, he became a participant.
As for the comment that none of the three charged actually did anything wrong.....
They were and are so stupid they should be locked up if for no other reason, to keep them separated from the general public. Absolute morons.
The black guy was without doubt a nut case, nothing but trouble. All the more reason that anyone with any brains whatsoever would leave dealing with him up to the real cops because any one with any sense would understand that a direct encounter would lead to violence.
And it did and the price to be paid for being so stupid will be huge.
First, the reason someone was arrested is because a man is dead and the only available video doesn’t show the crucial first encounter where we could actually judge who was the aggressor. What we DO know is that Arbery did not confront the McMichaels and in fact did pretty much everything humanly possible to exit the situation. If he actually attacked Travis McMichael unprovoked at the front of the truck, that might not matter. But we don’t know what words or actions were exchanged between Travis McMichael and Arbery until after they were already engaged in a physical fight because the truck blocks the video.
Second, what information do you have to say Arbery was a violent thug? He shoplifted in 2017? He walked through a construction site in February of this year? None of that points to him being a violent thug. He did bring a gun to a high school basketball game, which was stupid, and was also 7 years ago.
Unless you were there and standing somewhere off camera with a perfect view of the front of the truck on that day, you don’t know what happened at the front of that truck. If Travis McMichael approached Arbery at the front of the truck pointing his shotgun and/or threatening Arbery, then Arbery had a right to self defense and he died trying to defend his life from a man he believed was about to kill him. If Travis McMichael did NOT make any threatening moves or statements toward Arbery, then Arbery attacked him and Travis McMichael successfully defended his life in self defense.
I’m guessing you weren’t there. I’m guessing you’re going off the video. Here’s a frame-by-frame breakdown of that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywenRJU0qdE
Travis McMichael and Arbery both disappear from view at 1:13. That’s when they encounter one another. The next time we see either of them, there’s already a fight underway. Since we can’t see what took place right before the fight began, you’re just guessing what happened at the front of the truck just as much as anyone else. And if you’re comfortable letting potential killers walk free based solely on pure speculation, then the US criminal justice system probably isn’t your cup of tea.
A trial will determine the facts of the case. A jury will decide whether the facts support a conviction, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a crime took place under Georgia law. Not having a trial and letting the McMichaels go free would be just as insane and unjust as not having a trial and putting them in prison for the rest of their lives.
It’s all about feeding the mob at this point.
It is not what they say, it is what they leave out.
And if the FBI thought it was actually wrong they would not have done it. They convinced themselves that it was "right" for them to do it and the cover up was because the rest of us who actually believe that laws mean what they say would not understand how they were actually serving a higher truth.
My god our country is going insane. Well,without video,the left would not have this case to hustle on and imagine if there was no Rodney King Tape. People are so strange.
Every precedent had a first time.
You still have the right to let the man know your opinion. If my man was being mistreated and done wrong as you obviously believe, I would let my opinion be known.
In Court, when an Attorney strongly disagrees with a ruling by the Judge, he addresses the Judge thusly: Your Honor, I strongly disagree with your ruling. I intend to appeal it to the next level. Or, Your Honor, I take issue with your ruling, I intend to take it to the next level.
The head of the GBI is pursuing a political objective, namely to ensure that people are henceforth discouraged from trying to apprehend a black person, for any reason.
They want people to think "Just let him go, no matter what he did, because the State will bankrupt you and your family with numerous charges, and it won't matter much if you are found not guilty, you life will still be ruined.
"Stopped" is not "caught." They are using made up lingo to justify made up charges.
Normal people would have surrendered. But The Jogger was NOT normal.
No, he seemed overly aggressive. Not just in this instance. I understand there is a video of him from an encounter with the police in a park. He was aggressive there too.
You said a mouthful there.
They justified their wrongdoing in their own eyes. Another rendition of "The end justifies the means," Or "We had to kill the patient to save him."
In the eyes of the father son, thy did not see what they were doing as wrong. Aas for Roddy?Well, Roddy just went along for the ride, until.......
none of the three probably expected a catastrophe to strike. and Roddy is a little older and a lot wiser. I watched Roddy on several news clip interviews. For some reason he appeared to be nervous. I now know why.
Arbery was a thug. Thug attitude. Thug aggression. Lived like a thug and died like a thug.
All the productive people should leave Brunswick. Without the working whites it will be a just another black ghetto. Then who will they blame for their sorry lot in life.
Sounds like the Arbery family attorney is calling the shots as to who should be charged.
Btw. Three black boys shot in Savannah in the last week. Mary a perp from the national media. Why? Don’t their lives matter?
