'This is a free country. People can't stop us and hold us.' | Arbery case prosecutor on charges

Closing arguments began in the trial of the killing of Ahmaud Arbery on Monday, Nov. 22, 2021.
Arbery was shot and killed on Feb. 23, 2020. Cellphone video leaked to the public shows two armed white men in a truck approaching the 25-year-old Black man as he runs down the road. One of the men, later identified as Travis McMichael, and Arbery struggle over McMichael's shotgun before Arbery is shot and collapses.
Travis McMichael, his father Gregory McMichael and William "Roddy" Bryan, who recorded the video, are all charged with murder in Arbery's death.

Nobody just walked up and gunned him down because he was "jogging". They challenged him about what he was doing in their neighborhood. He was shot when he attacked Mr. McMichael, and tried to take his shotgun. If Arbery had succeeded in getting control of that shotgun, you can bet that Mr. McMichael would have had his head blown off.

Just about everything she said can be applied to the Trayvon Martin case. Trying to stop someone from walking down the street, when you haven’t seen a crime committed, is false imprisonment. A felony. It’s reasonable to expect the victim to defend themselves during a felony. Can’t claim self-defense when the victim does so. “How dare this young man defend himself against my felony! 😤” Zimmerman took away Trayvon’s right to walk down the street, then shot and killed him when he tried to defend himself. A reasonable person would be in fear if they were in Trayvon’s shoes. Yet, the jury believed he didn’t have a right to be afraid or to fight back when a huge white man is following you at night, then initiates a confrontation and tries to stop you from walking home. Jury believed he didn’t have a right to fear for his life or fight back. They instead believed Zimmerman had a right to fear for his life as he was committing a felony and, therefore, he is justified in killing the victim. Then they called it stand your ground. Just despicable!
