Arbery was not punished for breaking and enteringSecondly, since when is the punishment for a break and enter death?
He was punished for trying to take a loaded shotgun away from the other man
what arbry should have done is offer no resistance and let the cops deal with the McMichaels
Or maybe the ex-cop should have let the current, real cops, deal with Arbery.
I think this guy used poor judgement from the beginning. Whatever his plan was, was ill formed. If they sit the rest of their lives in jail will they be happy that they dealt with a guy who was threatening their lives? Or might they think "maybe we should have asked a few questions, got his face on video while staying in our vehicle and THEN if the guy attacks us, it's all on video and we can justify that he was the aggressor"?
As I say, I won't watch the video, so I'm going to assume both scenarios: they got out of their car AND that he went for the gun. Even under those circumstances, how are we to know how HE felt? If he was truly jogging, did he fear for his life from some strange guys boxing him in? If so, it might explain why he went for the gun. Was he a criminal, was he intending to shoot them all and flee? Both situations don't have happy endings and they both end in him going for the gun that THEY brought.
You can take either situation and we will end with the same conclusion, "the ex-cop didn't deal with this properly"
Thats what I have been saying all alongOr maybe the ex-cop should have let the current, real cops, deal with Arbery.
see post #61 and #73
but at the same time Arbrey used poor judgement also
He was practicing a form of street law himself
