"we ran him down, cornered him, drew our guns on him, and then he gave us no choice but to shoot". Good luck with that defense buds.

[@kingson4244]

@ Bad at Gaming I have seen stranger things happen in America, them getting set free using that VERY SAME DEFENSE wouldn't surprise me, watch.

[@AlwayzFresh]

@Koala Man Tell me your exact reaction to madmen with weapons running you down and cornering you please. I would have knocked the shotgun wielder out and shot the rest with his gun personally. You cant point a gun in someone's face and then kill them because they tried to stop you from pointing a gun in their face. That argument should never hold up. That would give everyone the legal right to go around pointing guns in strangers faces and then shooting them as soon as they react to it. But go on, argue for this right...MERKA!

[@MrC20001]

@Koala Man so your argue is that since he didn’t respond the way you think he should have, he should have been murdered? If you chase someone you should not be chasing they get scared and try to defend themselves forcing the pursuers who should not be pursuing to then defend themselves- are you suggesting this is justified?

[@AlwayzFresh]

@Koala Man I would not react the way you do I would have dropped them all. It would not be the first time I have killed people who were trying to cause me great harm. I have much blood on my hands from those who meant me harm. YOU THINK THE LESSON HERE IS TO NOT DEFEND YOURSELF? Weak men always got me laughing hard.

I told him to let's just go, we can talk later. My thinking was he was stupid and may have a gun. I didn't feel like fighting that day.

This whole situation is ok with u? U would be ok with Ahmauds position happening to ur son, ur brother, ur father?? Smh. U know what, don't even bother answering the questions, ur defense of them is answer enough actually.

And then blaming him for his own death. Fvkkking ridiculous.

@Koala Man, you are obviously completely oblivious of the fact that Ahmaud Arbery did NOT have a cell phone with him and that he had turned around and doubled back four times and changed direction multiple times in an effort to avoid the McMichaels and William Roddie Bryan.

[@pretzelmaker3122]

@Koala Man He made multiple attempts to evade them, didn't have a phone, and yeah, he also didn't deserve to be chased down and shot. Regardless of your opinion, he WAS chased, unlawfully as no one has said they are active law enforcement or had a legal right, and he was shot during this unlawful pursuit. Add in their shotgun out, loaded and pointed at him and you have voluntary manslaughter at the very least. That is providing the other evidence of these men's backgrounds and other statements don't make it into court. Oh, that's right, a black man leapt at me after I chased him across the same streets multiple times trying to get away from me so I can shoot him. Yeah....no. They had zero reason to fear for their lives and therefore zero reason to shoot him.

It was a heinous crime, stoked by paranoia and deeply entrenched bigotry and racism. It demonstrates the violence and hostility black people face, often on a daily basis in America. Justice was served, though it would not have been but for the foolishness of the murderers themselves filming the events, which speaks volumes for how they regarded Arbery not as a fellow human being, but as little more than an animal or a criminal because he was black.

We know now after the jury deemed all 3 guilty, we can see that Roddy's attorney was lying. Roddy was very much involved, Ahmaud was trapped and knew that he couldn't run in that direction of Roddy because he was in on the chase.

As I understand it this video is what clinched their convictions. I hate to think what might have happened if there was no video, these psychopaths might have gotten away with it.

Why wasn't an ambulance called by the police upon their arrival?

[@QuamiiMonroe]

From previos 911 dispatch experience the cops have to give a sceen secure before the ems can come in

[@rj859]

You know why. Racial murder. KKK without the pointy hats to cover their pointy heads.

[@leighshell1784]

They acted like they were "in charge". Their demeanor, "I WANT this done right." and, "I was the Chief Investigator for the D.A." Also, they were all "authoritative" when they demanded Ahmaud to "Stop" and acting shocked he didn't, even stooping to blaming Ahmaud for his own death by not "stopping" for them. Somebody tell me...who, in fresh dammit, are THEY? Defense attorney, or as I fondly refer to him, "Mr. Potato-Head-Hair", sounds like "Blahhhh, blah, blah."

[@leighshell1784]

@Koala Man Again, he was trying to be "in charge", telling them he wanted (this investigation) done right...He was already formulating his defense. As was "Daddy" by informing everyone of his "connections". Color it any way you wish. (See what I did there?) They had no right to corral, detain, forcibly question, ANYONE. It was their duty to back OFF and call LE. They chose otherwise. Hell of a lesson to learn. And, I don't need to be Prosecutor. Just stand by and watch.

[@leighshell1784]

@Koala Man It's "color", oh scholarly one. And, they most certainly did chase him down and impede his movements, all of which is illegal. And I already deduced in our back-n-forth that you would have shot the man. I can only hope your consequences of choices would mirror that of your idols. Stand by and watch what happens.

They blamed Arbery for his own death because he attacked Travis McMichael.

@@kevinhornbuckle I'd venture to say adrenalin was high everywhere, what with being STALKED and all, not to mention seeing weapons drawn. And for what? Because somebody thought some black man shouldn'ta been running through a neighborhood? Get the WHOLE context right, dude.
