Nope, there is no right not to be harrassed. you're in error.And anyone in this nation has the right to not be harassed by strangers without being shot. Boy.Lookie here boyo...in this nation anyone has a right to talk or try to talk to anyone...not complicated at all.harassment especially if they are holding firearms......I talk to people everyday--but they don't have firearms..they can request to talk to him, but they don't have a right to.....if fact, that can be seen as harassmentagain, they are illegally detaining/hindering him.....unless he just committed a crime ....did he?
They are not detaining him........again.......watch the video.........at all times the black guy had freedom of movement.....there was absolutely nothing to prevent him from jogging on down the street as he should have.
There was no excuse for him to attack the white guy with the gun.
They are detaining him. According to the fathers own words the incident in the video is at least the 3rd time they attempted to cut Ahmaud off. They went above and beyond what Georgia law allows for a citizens arrest. Ahmaud is under no obligation to talk to them. The father and son needed to let him got and just dial 911 after the first attempt to stop him. Instead they followed him and cut him off 2 more times. This was harassment and not a citizens arrest. It seems clear Ahmaud is trying to avoid them in the video (which is at last the 3rd time they cut him off) by swerving and running around the right side of the truck. But Travis moves to the front of the truck and cuts him off. I'm wondering what was going through Ahmaud's mind at that point knowing these guys weren't going to let him go. IMO he had a right to assume a defensive posture. A jury will decide.
I'm a Trump supporter and big defender of the 2nd Amendment. But this type of vigilante justice is NOT why we have the right to own weapons. The father and son had a right to open carry. They had a right to request Ahmaud stop to talk to them. But once Ahmaud made it clear he did not want to talk to them, they did not have a right to cut him off 3 times and block his path with a show of intimidating force. The poor decisions made by the father and son led to this incident. Under Georgia law this looks like involuntary manslaughter at least.
.....do you know the law regarding harassment?
