It is illegal when you brandish a gun in a threatening manner as Travis did.Holding guns in America isn’t against the law especially when following a criminalHe said barricade lol The car would’ve been turned to the side the two men would’ve been standing on both sides of the car with her guns out pointed screaming stop or ill
Shoot!
they blocked Arbery’s way holding a.357 Magnum and a shotgun:
They were committing the felony of aggravated assault when they parked on the road and held their weapons in hand and waited for Arbery to try and get by:
Certainly not if they were making an arrest. Then that is simply self-defemse.
More footage of Arbery "jogging" has been released.
They're not cops. They had no legal right to arrest him. Even if they did have such a right, a citizens arrest is not the same as an arrest by law enforcement. Such aggressive force with a deadly weapon is not allowed.
So what should the citizens have done when they saw this suspicious character in the community? Was their problem in brandishing their firearms when they confronted him?
Call 911.
Fine. But what do they say to the man in the mean time? Or do they just keep an eye on the character?
They can follow him. They can ask him to stop. But they can't try to block his escape with their vehicles, which they tried at least twice. Nor can they brandish firearms.
Of course they can they witnessed an attempted burglary, They saw him running from the house with a hammer
