My gun only gets used if my life is wrongly and imminently threatened. That's not what happened here vis a vis Arbery (although it is what happened here vis a vis Travis). Don't pretend to be stupid. These folks were asking someone to wait for the police because they had good reason to believe he was a burglar. He chose to run, and then to fight for the shotgun so that, presumably, he could shoot them.

Any person willing to set aside their preconceived notions and prejudices can plainly see that Arbery's life was wrongly and imminently threatened.

The Jury could see it. Most impartial observers can see it.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
