If they shoot a violent criminal i'll say "Hallelujah!"
Also I am not questioning your motives, i'm questioning your judgement. I don't have a double standard here, and I think a lot of you out there do.
If this criminal had been white, we would not be hearing a big fuss over this. Everyone would have shrugged and gone about their business, and people would have been focusing on the fact that some stupid white guy was insane enough to attack a man holding a shotgun.
Which is what people *OUGHT* to be focusing on. Arbery was nuts. He way overreacted to the circumstances he faced.
Rational people do not play with men holding shotguns. They either go the other direction, or they stop. What they never do is run at the man and hit him.
The state of Georgia has very clear laws for citizens arrest, and they did not follow them.
They most certainly did. You just don't like the fact that they did because you don't like the outcome. You want them to have broken a law, just as you want Arbery to NOT have broken a law.
Arbery did break the law, and that's why they were interested in him. They did not break any laws, and are only being held because of angry demands from portions of the populace.
This is a show trial, and they will be acquitted. A DA would have to be a fool to take this case, because it's a complete loser.
At best, at best they could argue "reckless homicide", but I very much doubt they could even make that stick.
It's self defense, and they're not going to be able to turn it into murder.
