Trumpies kill black man out on a jog

[Bugenhagen]

The defense had a good day today. Again, what was Travis supposed to do at the point they were wrestling for the gun?

Well thats a way to think about it. One night when I was an AP ranger a Russian criminal threw a grenade in to the bedroom of my house from a pickup. It was a million to one I had just got up a moment before and was in the kitchen.

What was Boris to do at the point he pulled the pin? His actions seems much more reasonable.

Just one of the many opinion articles we are seeing on this case. Will see if anyone agrees with the points made in this commentary.

Isn't that the same bullshit defense burglars & robbers use when victims get rowdy?

You cant claim self defense in the act of committing a crime
A burglar is in the act of committing a crime

chasing down a person in the street with your car and guns is a crime....

Hmmm that must be why the Arbry murders are being charged with:

false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment..

So the Arbry murderers cannot claim self defense when they attacked a man and chased him with a car and threatened him with guns and falsely imprisoned him...

DERP!

This is GEORGIA.

You must be thinking of some other state.

Arbery ran 6-8 feet toward him to grab the gun. He could have kept running down the street.

The case is now with the jury. We will see what the results are. I have seen all sorts of opinions in the media over the past few days -- I will not even attempt to predict the verdict.

A lot to do with courage of the jury
Will they hold their ground or will the left corrupt this jury through intimidation

Closing statements by the prosecution.....

PROSECUTOR: DEFENDANTS IN ARBERY CASE CAN’T USE SELF-DEFENSE

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The three white men charged in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery had no right to claim self-defense because they were the ones who provoked a confrontation with the 25-year-old Black man while he was running in their neighborhood, a prosecutor told jurors in her final closing arguments Tuesday.

“You can’t claim self-defense if you are the unjustified aggressor,” Linda Dunikoski said. “Who started this? It wasn’t Ahmaud Arbery.”

I think she's wrong about that, given the way Arbery charged, punched and tried to take the gun.

If it was a legal citizen's arrest under the old law, self defense is legitimate.
