I didn’t follow this closely, but from what I heard, it did feel like they played deeply into some bad stereotypes of local joe 6pack types.
I expected this verdict.
I think it is terribly unjust.
Arbery could have just kept running. He could have stopped and waited for the cops to arrive. Instead he attacked Travis McMichael, grabbed his gun, and struck him in the head repeatedly.
I think the shooting was legitimate self defense.
