So now videos can be racis’? :-} The shooting? Not so much. Didn’t find the link for the video. Will the shooter’s employment at Nosler be a factor? I notice the POS da commented the deceased “complimented” the lady.
Good luck with that.
Travis McMichael, 35, his father, Gregory McMichael, 66, and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan thought video evidence would exonerate them...
They were convicted in November on a raft of charges, including felony murder, for Arbery's death.
The shooter lured the victim with the “forbidden fruit” /s
I don’t think Arberry was serving up knuckle sandwiches, though — which makes this incident markedly different, don’t you think?
Yes, I watched the video multiple times and it's clear he acted in self-defense.
Arbery could have run around their truck and kept going – he had already done that twice – or he could have turned off the road into unfenced land. Instead, he ran toward the pickup, darted around it, and made for Travis, who was holding a shotgun. The moment of contact is off camera, but the men are seen grappling for the gun as shots go off.The first prosecutor on the case, George Barnhill, interviewed the three men, watched the video, and wrote a report to explain why he did not bring charges. He stated that the men were making a legal citizen’s arrest, were legally armed, and had probable cause to think Arbery was a burglar. Mr. Barnhill added, “[A]t the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.” Mr. Bryan later released the video, thinking it would calm blacks who were complaining that charges should be brought. Instead, there was outrage.

So yeah, I'd say the shooting was justified in this case.
Multiple rejected sexual propositions are NOT "compliments"!
Defending yourself against continued assault is NOT "murder" or "racism".
see my tagline...
Important part:
Ian Cranston is a 27-year-old machinist employed at the world-famous Nosler bullet-making company in Bend, Oregon.
They want to hang him because he works for an ammo company.
Re: your tagline.
Another way to say that, using a well-known quote as a template, is “making accusations of racism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”
I had this as my tagline many moons ago, and even someone on DU took umbrage to it.
I’m shocked, probably not why you think.
For whatever reason someone was SHOT and within seconds I could hear multiple people laughing and the clinking of glasses. Must be they couldn’t hear the shot or thought it was a backfire etc.
If otherwise the level of morality had dropped in some areas equal to a Mogadishu etc.
If they think it’s racist then why don’t they let it be shown and proven racist for everyone to see. But they can’t because it shows exactly the opposite. They are hiding it and claiming it proves something that it doesn’t. The only way they can get away with this is to hide the video proof and continually put forth the lie.
What was Washington’s criminal history? Employment? Was he a chronic drunk or was that night special?
So now videos can be racis’? :-}

That is the driving force that propelled development of color film over black and white.

I could have sworn I head someone use the N-word right before he lunged last and then got shot. It shouldn’t matter, but you know how that will play out.
:-}
They chased him down as he ran away and shot him. Little different there, buddy.
