Uh, no. Chasing someone down the street with a gun and then shooting him when he resists you isn’t “self defense” by any stretch of the law.
But it MIGHT be the law in Georgia. Important distinction.

I agree with that statement
You can’t be the aggressor then claim self defense when your illegal “arrest” didn’t go as planned
“...shooting him when he resists you isn’t “self defense”...”

Fortunately, for less perceptive “jurors” such as yourself, there will be experts going over (and over and over and over) the details of the law and the videos frame by frame and at regular speed and slow speed.
The slowest, dullest juror will be made to understand that Arbery initiated the physical contact by charging the armed son and attempted physically to take the son’s shotgun from him. While in the midst of that physical struggle the shotgun was fired in self defense.
Perhaps you are of the breed that would allow himself to be disarmed and, after surrendering your firearm, accept whatever fate the person to whom you surrendered deals out to you. That would be your right...as self defense would also be your right.
Another person who does not have the facts. Watch the video. The dead perp clearly charges at the truck and attacks the son.
Whats he supposed to do? Let him beat him to death?
