Are the McMichaels victims of a biased media?

[Faun]

They are victims of our woke immoral and stupid Obama inspired prosecutors .........The MCMichaels were doing their job---stopping the criminals when the criminal decided to attack them forcing them to protect themselves as the criminal tried to steal their gun. The criminal btw, not allowed weapons and convicted of steaking before.

False. It was not their job to chase down innocent people running down a street in their neighborhood.

 

[tahuyaman]

Nope, they had no legal right.

§ 17-4-60​

​

A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.​

Making a citizens arrest is predicated on witnessing a felony, or at least having immediate knowledge. As Arbery had not committed a felony, they had neither witnessed, nor had immediate knowledge, of him committing a felony.

This failure on their part to enforce a citizen's arrest is among the reasons I expect to see convictions in this case.

They had a legal right, they just exercised it in the wrong way.

The McMichael’s are not victims.

So you say....yet there is no evidence for what you claim....at least cite the citizens arrest law in Georgia that existed in the early 90's

Just the law please....not pages and pages of legalese....thank you

The pages and pages of legalese is what defines the law.

But don’t take my word for it. The article you posted showed the citizens arrest was not legal or valid.

 

[SavannahMann]

You go on and on about what the law allegedly is according to you....why not just post the law and let everyone decide for themselves exactly what it means?

Because that is what the courts do. They define the laws. And determine if the laws are constitutional.

Otherwise we would not have one law for all. We would have millions of laws, each one different based upon the individual beliefs of each person.

I really don’t think you want that. Do you?

 

[Faun]

They had a legal right, they just exercised it in the wrong way.

There was no legal right to make a citizen's arrest on someone who had not committed a felony.

 

[SavannahMann]

No crimes were comitted by the MacMichaels....that is just a movie running in your head.

I mean no offense but you seem awfully biased.....are you black?

Well the article you posted said their citizens arrest was not valid. So attempting to execute an illegal citizens arrest is a crime. Even by your own sources.

And while you may think truth and right is based upon color. I was taught better. It’s a shame your parents never bothered to teach you anything worthwhile.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Because burglers can be violent.

What did they see him burglarize?

Being an experienced thief the black guy must have known that the cops would do nothing to him.

Oh that makes sense, is that why he was running.

But he chose to fight to the death instead

The Black Brain Disease strikes again.

You mean the White Racist Brain Disease is what made 3 racist rednecks murder him.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

No

I’m saying trash talking black radicals such as you are a waste of my time

So why didn't you answer the question? Well we know why you didn't answer because the answers are going to put these 3 racist rednecks under the jail.

 

[Mac-7]

Racist imbecile, there's no evidence he burgled anything.

There is also no evidence they were racists

Thats just liberal kneejerk bullshit

 

[Mac-7]

You mean the White Racist Brain Disease is what made 3 racist rednecks murder him.

Where is your evidence they are racists?

The answer is that you dont have any

Prosecutor reads racist messages by Ahmaud Arbery's killer

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery had previously used racial slurs in a text message and on social media, a prosecutor said Thursday as a judge weighed whether to grant bond for the defendant and his father.

[Mac-7]

So why didn't you answer the question?

Because trash talking ghetto libs piss me off and I wont play your game

Clean up your act if you want a civil response

Otherwise fuck off

 

[Mac-7]

Because that is what the courts do. They define the laws. And determine if the laws are constitutional.

The dedicated activist lib judges are legal frauds

And many of the repub appointees are not much better

I have no confidence on the legal system

The only victim is the innocent man they attempted to forceably and illegally restrain and killed. He had rights too, you know. Mental illness doesn’t change that. Having a criminal record (shoplifting for heaven’s sakes) doesn’t change that. Neither does being black. But try telling to some of the yahoo’s here who think if you are black and being chased down by a bunch of white thugs in trucks, you lose your right to self defense.

 

[Coyote]

Could the same be said for a white kid in Kenosha?

Everybody loves talking out of both sides of their asses don't they?

Can you try and explain how an illegally armed white kid going to a riot and violating curfew, is similar to a black man, unarmed, minding his own business, jogging through a neighborhood?

The white kid had a right to defend himself. In the process he shot an unarmed who threw a bag of psychiatric meds at him, and another two men who tried down because he killed someone. Real similar situations wouldn’t you say? The courts might not fully agree…though it is a mitigating factor. Killing people can have consequences.

Better check your own ass here because you have yet to say one of these had any right to defend himself.

Well....he was on parole and he knew the cops had been summoned as the neighbor in the house he was 'visiting' came outside to get a better look at him knowing he was trespassing and called the police whilst outside and ahmaud took off when he saw the neighbor make the phone call so he either heard what was said or figured the guy was calling the police so ahmaud hauled ass...unfortunately for him he ran in front of the house of the guy that had been 'deputized' to handle such neighborhood problems....Gregory MacMichaels who recogonized ahbery from a video of the trespasser he had seen previously and thus the pursuit was on.

I say all that to say this....ahmaud may have thought he would be sent back to jail because he was on parole ....which may have triggered him to be willing to try anything to avoid going back to jail.

He was known not to have a firm grip on reality as he suffered from hallucinations....thus he may have thought he could take Travis shot gun away from him and use that to make his escape....probably watched a lot of movies where they do stuff like that.

Utterly irrelevant.

He had not committed any crime. Lots of other people were on that video as well. Being mentally ill is not a crime. Being a former felon is not crime.

Travis McMichael called him the Nword after he murdered him.

Who was talking about crime? I was talking about the mental state of the suspect and what may or may not have motivated him to do what he did.

If ahmaud was just minding his own business why was he snooping around in a house where he had no business?

If you had read all of the posts you would know that everyone captured on the video were suspects and all that could be located were interviewed and not even to mention none of them were running down the road in front of Sr. Macs house and got recognized as ahmaud did.
