Yes, people like to look inside of houses under construction...Yes. The moral of the story here is that if you witness someone trespassing or committing burglary in your neighborhood, don’t do anything. Especially if the place is under any kind of construction. Apparently it’s normal for people to wonder into a private dwelling under construction to “just look around”.see these stupid fks think that once the blackman grabbed the gun, the white guy was just supposed to let him have it. Really, that's what they think. seriously, it is.I get what you are saying, it is a valid point. However if they intended to kill him from the start they could had shot him much earlier. They never did. Also, if Arbery feared for his life, then why did he run up behind them? He could had turned around and ran away, or ran to the left or right between houses to the next street. Instead he charged right at one of them and assaulted him.Just hypothetically, suppose they had not had a reason. So what ? The events shown on the video still show a self-defense shooting. Period.The Burglary that the McMichaels said was the reason they pursued never happened. So what reason did they have?
Had Travis McMichael just been standing there minding his own business, and Arbery ran up on him and attacked him, you would be 100% correct.
But we're not dealing with a hypothetical situation.
Instead, we're dealing with a situation in which McMichal armed himself, chased Arbery down, and then exited his vehicle with the loaded shotgun. Those set of circumstances preclude McMichael from being able to legitimately claim he was acting in self defense...
At that point it doesn’t matter what happened previously, Travis had no choice but to shoot, otherwise Arbery would had likely shot him.
But, if someone does happen to call the police and report a burglar, don’t do anything to help out.
And certainly, if you did grab your gun and went out to look for any such perp, you should relinquish your weapon if he runs right at you and attacks you. Tell him you’re sorry and hope he doesn’t kill you.
Lessons from the left.
I lived in a neighborhood where my house was the third home completed on my street. I went into all the houses under construction, spent hours in those houses, took measurements, took pictures.
Nobody ever bothered me or chased me down with a gun and murdered me.
Your intent wasn’t to steal anything.
This wasn’t a neighborhood under construction, it was one house. He had no business being there.
Nice try though.
He didn't steal anything. The property owner said so. He certainly could have stolen something, if that had been his intent.
Sorry to break it to you son, but your racist buddies will rot in jail. Deservedly so.
