Did anyone watch the McMichaels trial today?

[Godboy]

Ok. A man threatens to blow your fucking head off. And you expect us to believe that is how you would respond?

Your description of the events is of course highly innaccurate.

 

[Muhammed]

Why was Arbery lurking around the Satilla Shores subdivision in the first place?

He doesn't live there.

 

[SavannahMann]

Your description of the events is of course highly innaccurate.

The Prosecutor said that Greg McMichaels told police he shouted at Arbery “stop or I’ll blow your fucking head off”.

Attorneys present jurors with dueling portraits of Arbery

What is inaccurate about my description then?

 

[Winco]

Your description of the events is of course highly innaccurate.

What is the description? As defined by racists?

 

[Winco]

Why was Arbery lurking around the Satilla Shores subdivision in the first place?

He doesn't live there.

This ^^^^^^. doesn't give them the "right' to execute him.
Aubrey defended himself against the Attacker.

I understand that you will see this in a different light. Which is WRONG.

 

[Muhammed]

they are able to hold people at gunpoint in contrivance of the law?

Arbery was not held at gunpoint in the first place, you fucking lying piece of shit.

 

[Winco]

Arbery was not held at gunpoint in the first place, you fucking lying piece of shit.

If he wasn't HELD at gunpoint........
Then why did he DEFEND himself against the man with the shotgun?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

True. They'll maintain their innocence all the way to prison.

Hopefully.

And there will be the idiots who will continue to claim that Arbery was killed in self defense.

How do 2 guys one in a truck surround a guy?

 

[SavannahMann]

Arbery was not held at gunpoint in the first place, you fucking lying piece of shit.

If Arbery had stopped then the crimes the McMichaels would have committed would still be False Imprisonment and Aggravated Assault.

 

[Winco]

How do 2 guys one in a truck surround a guy?

Because there was 3 guys.
Fucking Dotard.

 

[Persuader]

Arbery was not held at gunpoint in the first place, you fucking lying piece of shit.

The Planned Legal Defense in a Nutshell

Last Friday the defense counsel for Greg McMichael—the husband and wife legal team of Frank & Laura Hogue—sat for an interview with Court TV in which they laid out the legal defense they intend to present to the jury in this trial—and we can presume this will be the legal defense for all the defendants.

Specifically, Frank Hogue described the legal defense as a predictable combination of lawful citizen’s arrest followed by lawful self-defense. That is, that the parties’ initial actions—their pursuit of Ahmaud Arbery—were done in lawful citizen’s arrest based upon a reasonable suspicion that Arbery was a felony burglar in flight, and that the actual shooting of Arbery was done in lawful self-defense following Arbery’s attack upon Travis McMichael.

The initial actions by the McMichaels we will put under the rubric of the citizen’s arrest law. They had reasonable and probable grounds, which is the language from the statute, to believe that Ahmaud Arbery was fleeing from the commission of a felony, not necessarily having committed one that very day. It's not required that he has just committed one and there's no evidence that he had committed one that day.

But that they reasonably suspected that he was the guy they had seen on four previous video occasions and one in person occasion in that house at night. After the owner of the house had said on one of those visits, he noticed that he was missing about $2,500 worth of electronics equipment from the house. McMichaels knew that and it was in their minds the day Greg saw Ahmaud run past at a pretty good clip from the direction of the house.

So at that point, that's when Greg decided we need to detain him, so the police can come here and investigate, and see who is this guy, what's he doing in our neighborhood, and what has he been doing going in the house on these prior occasions.

And it looked to Greg like he was fleeing from someone or something that very day. It didn't look to him like he was out for a Sunday jog, as he said on the body cams, contemporaneous with the event that very day. He thought that he was, as he put it, hooked up and hauling ass, that he wasn't out for a Sunday run.

And then when they got in the truck to chase him to stop him to let the police come and investigate the matter, the neighbor down the street Matt Albenzie , who had been on the phone with the police reporting that Ahmaud was back in the house, Ahmaud saw him, and this is on video, and then he took off running right after he saw Albenzie on the phone.

When Travis and Greg come back out of the house to get in the truck to drive after Ahmaud, Matt Albenzie was down the street in front of the English house, making a hand motion with his arm, which conveyed to the McMichaels, “There he goes. That's the guy.”

And of course, Greg recognized him having seen him on the four previous videos, Travis saw him in person on February the 11th, just 12 days prior at night at that house. And so he recognized him as well.

And so at that point, they were conducting a lawful citizen's arrest under the statute as it existed, then, it's since been amended. And it was an attempted citizen's arrest up until the very end, when Ahmaud turned sharp left at the front right corner of the pickup truck. And within a couple of steps he was on top of Travis, who had a loaded shotgun. And it was apparent to Travis that Ahmaud was trying to take the gun from him. And so Travis shot him in self-defense.

So it starts out as a citizen's arrest case, it ends up as a self-defense case. And we'll be arguing both of those sets of laws in our defense.

And there you have the legal defense to be presented in this case, right from the horse’s mouth.

Until next time:

Remember
you carry a gun so you’re hard to kill.
Know the law so you’re hard to convict.
Stay safe!

Beware of Blacks ....especially young black males....most especially if you live in a big city where young black males are acclimated into a culture of violence.

If I have to go to a big city ......I always have protection....pepper spray, knife, pistol and a shotgun....you never know what you might encounter in a big city in America....especialy if you are not familiar with the city and might by accident wind up driving through a ghetto area or some other place where violent blacks congregate.

The reality of America today is that most if not all of our big cities are potential War Zones.....you never know when the savages might get stirred up....be prepared.

I am not saying all blacks are bad but there is no doubt a large percentage of young black males in our big cities are a threat ....to women, old folks, asians and Jews --aka anyone they perceive as not apt to be able to defend themselves.

If big city governments had any sense they would require everyone in their city to purchase a firearm which they could legally carry concealed.

People would be much more polite then.

Because there was 3 guys.
Fucking Dotard.

Fucking Dotard.

Be very specific now and tell us where the third guy was?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

There were multiple police reports of this house being broken into. genius.

By multiple people genius, why didn't they run down the white kids that entered the property illegally? Why didn't they run down the white couple that entered the house illegally?

 

[Godboy]

Were the McMichaels conveniently right there every time it happened?

 

[Canon Shooter]

You arent a mind reader. Your declaration that they did this because of racism is childish.

Why did the defense try to exclude a photo of Travis' truck which showed a Confederate flag?

Defense seeks to exclude Confederate flag vanity plate at upcoming Arbery trial

If they're not racists, why not allow the plate to be shown and then simply explain what fine, outstanding, welcoming citizens they are?

Have you ever been to Brunswick, Georgia? I was there last week. Racial slurs are thrown around by rednecks like fuckin' confetti...

 

[Canon Shooter]

Were the McMichaels conveniently right there every time it happened?

Nor were they there when Arberry did it.

They never physically saw Arberry enter that property...

 

[Canon Shooter]

Isn't "redneck" a racist term?

It's derogatory, but not racist.

Despite that, rednecks proudly claim the title...

 

[Muhammed]

Kinda like the term "n!gger"?

 

[Muhammed]

Nor were they there when Arberry did it.

They never physically saw Arberry enter that property...

How did you come to that stupid conclusion?

There was videos of Arbery entering Larry English's home on several occasions.

Travis recognized Arbery because he had seen the videos and had previously saw him prowling in the neighborhood across the street from that home at night. When Arbery saw Travis, Arbery reached into his waistband and ran into that home.

What business did the convicted criminal thief on probation have to go into that home?

People in that subdivision had called the police on Arbery on several occasions.

 

[Godboy]

Nor were they there when Arberry did it.

They never physically saw Arberry enter that property...

So they just got super lucky? How did they find the guy who was breaking into houses if they didnt see him?
