It wouldn't even matter if he was running down the road with a wheelbarrow full of stolen stuff, you don't get your shotgun and jump in the back of a truck and chase the fucgher down. He's going to be found guilty for all the right reasons.
What would The Virginian, Steve, and Trampas have done? And good Judge Garth would have thought it completely appropriate and consistent with the law, and he'd be right.
When Jesse Jackson showed up in court with the dead guy’s mom it didn’t help the defendants any.
In the heat of the moment they did something really dumb, sad deal.

We’ve come to a low point in our nation’s history. Our “justice system” is broken and it seeks to protect the guilty. I would NEVER chase or attempt to apprehend someone over a real or imagined theft. The law no longer matters, all that matters anymore is perception and emotion. Observe, report and follow at a safe distance then let the cops handle it. Blacks are a protected class these days no matter what they’ve done!

It's a case about self defense and property protection. I have no faith in our courts. They were rigged for the haves.
I get the self defense part once the barrel is grabbed...but you could also make the argument Aubrey was defending himself in a "fight or flight" moment with a shotgun in his face. I think he was up to no good, but it cant be proven in court.
And it wasnt their property, and he had no stolen items on him. If I'm not mistaken false imprisonment is one of the charges.
If I see someone I dont recognize come out of my neighbors open garage, I'm not going to go chasing them down with my vehicle and jump out with a gun.
Do you think they would have done this if the guy was white? Think they would have assumed it was a just construction guy working or checking on the house if he was white?
These jokers made a very stupid decision and are going to pay the price for it. Hopefully it takes some heat off a hopefully not guilty Rittenhouse verdict.
These dudes were highly motivated, likely due to repeated/extensive thefts in the area. Also likely is a lack luster response from local law enforcement regarding the issue. These boys took matters into their own hands, possibly out of sheer frustration. I’m sure they never expected the jogger to try and disarm them. Pretty arrogant and stupid on his part. The whole plan blew up in their face when Arbrey took the offensive.

There was never a shotgun in his face. It was merely being held by the defendant when Arbery grabbed it, and the struggle ensued.

Groids tend to go for broke when confronted by authority. They beat people to death, attack armed officers/ civilians. Often over petty issues.

Groid rage.
Posted by others, cops beaten to death or brain death, by unarmed groids.
Violence is in their blood. Sometimes they need to leak a lot of it.

The video appears to show him starting grabbing for the gun in front of the truck which is partially blocked, the gun appeared to be leveled off as he came around the truck. You are right though, he could have been aiming at the chest.

Yes, if he was a white trash meth head it would have been the same. In my experience the white is trickier to handle. Further, I grew up in a South where stealing watermelons was a sport. If you never got shot at for trespassing to fish a pond were you really a boy?
There's evidence of him looking for stuff to steal in the neighborhood.
Do you ever get those meat trucks casing your neighborhood? We used to. I'm why we don't anymore. Cops couldn't help and one of our trigger happiest deputies lived next door.
Cops can't do everything. When we try to apply law where law doesn't work we get this disaster. They were right to try to run him off. The jogger was wrong to be there and dead wrong to try to take on a shotgun. The residents were only in error legally and politically because we as a society are wrong to try to use law where it will not work.
If they are convicted it is misapplication of law and destruction of culture. There are places in Brunswick I'll go for lunch, where I know I'm not welcome nor safe come evening. I wouldn't go because I might have to kill somebody. There is no need to involve police. The system works fine.

It's not illegal to get out of a vehicle with a gun in Georgia. Wasn't the muzzle of the gun pointed in a safe direction until someone tried to steal the gun? Shouldn't a person have the right to try and keep another person from stealing their gun? The fact is they didn't want to kill the negro, how hard can it be to shoot someone who is jogging down the road with a shotgun? He was shot and killed in self-defense.
The difference in this opinion and some others here is that the writer likely has an idea of what it's like in Brunswick. Those who differ would be enlightened by taking a stroll around the A-Z lettered streets down there. If inconvenient substitute MLK Ave or Blvd in any city in GA.
