Grabbing the legally held shotgun legally justifies the shooting......you know that, right?

If he keeps running and gets shot, all together different.

Given the fact Arbery initiated the fight, at the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia Law , McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.


You still don't get it?

"Acting stupidly" is not against the law.

Shooting joggers is against the law. Duh!

It doesn't matter whatever their prior history was.

It doesn't matter if they look like someone in some video.

Grabbing the shotgun, if he actually did that, is a logical reaction to prevent being shot!!

Case closed.
