[@garyhost1830]

No he was shot

[@lkf-gu4ls]

yes no one should have to go through what he endured. esp. at the hands of others. they think they had the right to do what they did. but ahmaud had no rights, but to surrender to them. and they were complete and total strangers, armed at that. if i came at someone like they did i would not be surprised if they fear for their life. not even common sense, but human instinct.

I don't think so, he was mad, which is why he started hitting the guy and grabbed the gun, big mistake.

[@nict6549]

I don’t know about y’all but if I was chased, yelled out by two men in a truck, who showed me they have a gun, I think my instinct when the guy got out with his gun, is do exactly what Ahmad Arbery did, and fight for my life…he already tried to flee, next thing to do is…grab the gun from him. Anyone who says the victim was wrong in this are prob just like the men who thought they could get away with it!

The backroom judges chamber deals can severely temper the prosecution and empower the defense. Those backroom deals will force the parties to limit how facts are presented and employed in the deliberation stages of the trial. Under those conditions the jury will end up with a new set of deliberation instructions that most of them will not like but are compelled to rule on. The prosecution is going to lose.

Going for gun was not the smartest move. He could have waited and ask the guys why they were after him and not have kept running as if he was guilty of something.. Travis said he never said anything. I think if it had been me getting chased, I would have been screaming and yelling HELP!! to get someone to call police. Or Hey I didn't do anything! Sad, but I think it was an unfortunate chain of events that ended up in fight for gun. I couldn't call that murder. Maybe manslaughter.

This behavior is not uncommon down here especially in your smaller towns. It is proven by video that he was going into a house that was being built, that does not belong to him. If he were to come to my neighborhood and done what he did, and I seen him. I would have approached him too. A lot of people would have. I would’ve asked him what he was doing and tried to find out what’s going on. Would I have brought a gun with me. Hell no. That’s where this guy messed up and unfortunately it didn’t end well.

On top of that, in order for Ahmaud to have reached into his pocket, he would have had to lifted up his shirt because he had on a long t-shirt but he never said that Ahmaud lifted up his shirt. He said that he would have told his father to calm down if he hadn’t seen his neighbor pointing to Ahmaud but he made a decision inside the house to get his shotgun and chase Ahmaud before he came out and saw his neighbor pointing to Ahmaud.
