“He had my gun. He struck me,”
Whatever happened prior to that is moot. I don’t care if the pickup had a Confederate glad and was blasting Dixie. You try to wrestle a gun away from somebody you are an aggressor. If the “runner” had just stayed peaceful he’d be alive.
If you try to stop a person at gunpoint then you're the aggressor. If you threaten to blow his f*cking head off if he doesn't stop then you are the aggressor. If you initiate a conflict you can't claim self-defense. In going for the gun the Arbery's claim to self defense is far more realistic than McMichael's is.
Not true. If someone drives up to me gets out and points their gun at me. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to not get shot by that guy!
If unarmed, I’ll try and wrest the gun from him, if armed, I’ll pull my gun and fight back.
Pointing a gun at someone says “I intend to kill you,” and Aubrey wss totally justified in trying to stop those two yahoo’s.
