The biggest loser here could have went back to a life of crime and partying, if he hadn't charged and then physically attacked a man holding a gun.
The crime being what? Burglary? Nothing was taken and the house was under construction and open to begin with. Trespassing? A misdemeanor under Georgia law so the citizen's arrest law doesn't apply. Arbery took nothing from the construction site and didn't damage anything at the construction site so no, he didn't commit a crime.
When does burglary require someone to take something? Burglary is entering a location with the intent of committing a crime. And people most certainly can make citizen’s arrests for misdemeanors.
The crime being what in this case?
And people most certainly can make citizen’s arrests for misdemeanors.
Not under the Georgia law in effect at the time. It required the offense to be a felony - Link
No these ya jobs were out to get someone. Anyone. They did and paid the prices
Do you live in Georgia?
“The crime being what in this case?”
Notice the word, intent. Just because he did not find anything to steal, doesn’t mean he did not commit burglary. And that would still apply if he was checking to see what he could come back for later.
So it does appear they may not have had the authority to detain him, but that is not the same and saying he did not commit a crime. Even if it was just trespassing. It was reported they were experiencing a lot of burglaries and the owner of the house had lost thousands of dollars in theft. I don’t intend to guess why a “jogger” would go into a house under construction, but maybe if he had just stopped to explain, instead of charging a guy with a shotgun, he would be alive and they would not be going to prison.
Oh No, not ‘sneakers without socks’. The horror.
The absolute horror.
Why if I were a jury member and they told me that bit of withheld information, then I would have surely voted to jail... the presenter of the ridiculous claim !
Except that they didn’t call the cops until THEY SHOT HIM.

And Ashli Babbitt could have gone home to her family if she didn’t trespass the capitol. I don’t think you’ve wargamed this one out. If this is a good shoot then so is Ashli’s killing. Do we really want to go down that road?
Burglary requires intent. You have yet to show any evidence at all that he intended to steal anything.
So it does appear they may not have had the authority to detain him, but that is not the same and saying he did not commit a crime. Even if it was just trespassing.
But the law required the crime be a felony. Trespassing is a misdemeanor at best.
It was reported they were experiencing a lot of burglaries and the owner of the house had lost thousands of dollars in theft.
In his deposition to the police the owner reported that some plywood scraps were stolen and some fishing gear stolen. That's it. And that was early on, before he set up his cameras. So there is no evidence that Arbery was involved.
I don’t intend to guess why a “jogger” would go into a house under construction...
About 10 years ago I bought a piece of property in rural area east of Kansas City. It was an old farm house about 100 years old on five acres of land, part of a farm that had been split and sold to two other farms years and years ago. My father and I basically gutted the building and rebuilt it, rewired it, HVAC, roof, the whole nine yards. At the time I was living in a suburb that had a lot of new construction going on, and as I was out jogging I would frequently stop and go through houses under construction looking for ideas, how they ran their wiring and plumbing, all the rest. So yeah, I can guess why a jogger would go through construction sites.
... but maybe if he had just stopped to explain, instead of charging a guy with a shotgun, he would be alive...
Let's see...truck chases him for a while...tries to cut him off several times before stopping...two armed men accost him blocking any path of escape...one tells him to stop or he'll blow his f*cking head off...yeah, my first conclusion would be they merely wanted to talk, too. </sarcasm>
...and they would not be going to prison.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. and they would not be going to prison.
Arbery Was Literally “Off His Meds” When He Charged Travis McMichael"People close to Arbery had been noting his deteriorating mental health condition in the weeks leading up to his death on February 23, 2020, including his probation officer, who in 2018 had ordered a mental health evaluation of Arbery as a result of such concerns.
Arbery, as a result of this mental health evaluation, was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, which is often characterized by uncontrolled violence, aggression, and poor impulse control.
...In June 2018 Arbery’s own mother had called 911 to report that Arbery was withholding her car keys from her. She cautioned the 911 dispatcher that Arbery’s mental condition had worsened over time. She also cautioned the responding police officers that Arbery might get violent due to his mental illness if they tried to arrest him.
Arbery was subsequently prescribed psychiatric medication, specifically Zyprexa (olanzapine), in an effort to control his schizoaffective disorder.
Blood tests performed after Arbery’s death indicated absolutely no detectable Zyprexa in his system, meaning he was literally 'off his meds'..."
Babbit?? I’m talking about this story, not the Babbit case.
There is only one person in this case who was the biggest loser and that’s the dead guy who lost it all.
Oh I don’t know. I would say that the 3 killers just convicted lost the rest of their lives too.
So why are you not talking about Kyle or Babbit?
How do you know that they are ‘attempting rape’?
Do you think it is an attempt when they are 100 yards away? Is that your measure?
Or do you assume anyone within 100 feet is attempting rape?
Or perhaps 10 feet?
What is your standard?
That was one of their many errors that day. Phoning the cops would have been my first action.
And, heaven Knows, the 99.9% leftist press will NEVER let those truths be known; why let the truth get in the way of textbook leftist narrative, lies and propaganda designed to destroy Whites????
“Storekeepers nicknamed Ahmaud ‘The Jogger’ for stealing and running away....”
Geeeeeeee, you’d NEVER know that, by that lovely photo of him in the tux, which is the ONLY photos the media allows of him to be shown on TV, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!
These racist inbred hillbilly rednecks set out to murder a black man because they hate black people and want them all exterminated!
And Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist who murdered three black people.
Stop listening to and swallowing the media lie-vomit.
They did and paid the prices
Their only crime was not knowing that black criminals are untouchable because of politics. These men are political scapegoats to assuage feelings that might result in riots and arson.
To the wealthy members of the State, the lives of those three men are a small price to pay for the continued peace that might be had from their conviction.
Do you live in Georgia?
No. I've never lived in any of the states of the south.
Except the idiots apparently said in trial that they weren’t trying to make a citizens arrest.
You then don’t know the history of the area or the state laws
Three men who saw someone running had zero idea if a crime had been committed. They did not witness a crime nor was the first thing they did was to call police saying a crime was being committed
Not all places in the US have reasonable race relations. If the skin color were reversed I would have the same view. These three broke the law. The jury got it right
