    Although I agree, GA has strict restrictions on implementing the death penalty and I haven't heard anything Travis has done that will break the threshold to warrant that punishment.

    Contrarily, Trump recently signed a comprehensive prison reform bill which will grant early release to tens of thousands of majority black prisoners. It was bi partisan, but Trumps son in law, Jared Kushner, worked it and made it happen.

    How was the car moving when he approached it if the driver was standing outside the vehicle. Are you willfully lying about the circumstances for some reason, because the video is indisputable.

    It was moving to cut him off, then Aubrey moved to the right around the passenger side. At that time, Travis got out with the shot gun and rushed in front. The video does show exactly what I am saying. Hence why the truck is on the left side of the road before and after the video started shaking, then when the video come back on two, they were well in front of the truck.

    I saw the video. Here is a thought: if someone is following you with a gun, do not attack them.

    Another thought: if you think someone committed a crime do not grab your gun and follow them.

    In both cases each should have called the police and not reacted.

    Dumbasses all around here.

    According to USA Today, his mother lived "about 2 miles from where he was killed." That's certainly a reasonable distance for a jog, but it's a probably not what I'd consider "his own neighborhood". Looking at a map of the location, he crossed some pretty major roads and possibly an interstate highway (I-95) to get to the Satilla Shores neighborhood where he was jogging.

    Normally I agree with your position on this topic. But I believe you're mocking up the position of those who are saying he should have stopped. I'm pretty sure they'd say the same thing if Arbery was white....that(they say) he should have stopped and complied with the armed men.

    You and with these guys whom you have already declared guilty, did so before you knew anything about the case. Even when courts and the Federal Government finds white people innocent you want them lynched.

    And I have no reason to believe if the person who have been suspected of break-ins was described as white the the older McMichael's had seen a white guy previous and he believed this was him they would not have done the same thing in calling the police and they wanting to question the guy. But already screams for an additional hate crime violation.

    Yes CBS reported that he "was in his own neighbor" which only tended to inflame the issue even more.

    The report is that the older McMichaels and seen and confronted him before and that that Arbery had reached into his waiste as if he had a weapon and then ran off. They DID call the police but calling the police doesn't do much good if the person runs off.

    Yet Blacks commit over 52% of all Homicides.
    I am going to research the percent for Burglaries.
    And the percent of black males in their 20's who jog.
    Blacks are No angels.So stop pretending they are.

    According to FBI stats, blacks murder twice as many whites as the reverse, even though blacks are one fifth in number. That's a tenfold offset.

    And you don't get injured JUST TALKING do you. Just talking is not an assault. Even if you are holding a gun, just talking is not an assault. The McMichael's were just talking to him. There is no evidence they threatened to harm him. If you got it post it. And I guaranty you that if someone pointed a gun at me and told me to stop or I'll shoot, not claimed here but..., I'd stop and I certainly wouldn't charge from at least 12 feet away at them. And had that been the case then Arbery could have filed a complaint and had them arrested even they could not justify their act through the citizen arrest law.

    What if your burglarizing your own neighborhood? And no it was not his own neighborhood. That's why the people living there had noticed him including the other 911 caller who saw him trespassing in a home that was being remodeled and was empty.

    Was he wearing Jogging shoes.Can those in that neighborhood
    testify they saw him jogging ... Ever.
    Why did he run off when asked " we want to talk to you ".
    Plus there was scuffle over the shotgun.

    And yet none of that made it into the police report. Not that any of that would justify their actions.

    He had confronted him before and believed he was the person who had stolen a gun from his son. And yes I can confront strangers in my neighborhood if I believe they have committed a crime. Personally I would just observe and call the police and maybe try to follow so I could tell the police where they were. There is no law that says you can't asked someone what are you doing here.

    I will admit that a pickup truck with Shotgun touting Whites is
    not something a Black in the South should feel welcoming.
    But there should have been an investigation and not quickly
    dismissed.
