Any link or proof to that?
Well there it is, the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day.
There were two 911 calls, which you'd have known already if you'd read the entire thread.
That's exactly what is going to happen, which you'd have known already if you'd read the entire thread.
If you'd watched the video, you'd have seen that it seems apparent that the deceased attacked Mr. McMichael and attempted to wrest the shotgun out of his hands.
Did you expect any?
I predict hung jury.
That is what happened. The deceased was identified by the McMichaels as the supect in a burglary which was reportedly caught on a security camera. If that camera was recording, the evidence should be crucial.
Yes, you do, under OCGA 17 -4 -60: "A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge . If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.”
They did think he had committed a crime.
There were two 911 calls.
The first 911 caller told the dispatcher at 1:09 p.m. that Arbery had stepped inside an open home under construction, then stepped back out and started running down the road, according to 911 tapes.
A second 911 caller at 1:14 p.m.: “There’s a black male running down the road,” according to 911 tapes.

Perhaps they did. Acting stupidly within the law does not render anyone liable to arrest.
Little Jimmy never disappoints.
That's not even close to what I said.
I pointed out that the senior McMichael is no longer a law enforcement officer.
That renders your statement either incorrect, or irrelevant and superfluous. In this instance, nobody charged a "cop".
Update: father and son arrested; no grand jury?
Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, were taken into custody by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and charged with aggravated assault as well as murder in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in the town of Brunswick, the agency said in a statement.
The Feb. 23 shooting death of Arbery, 25, as he ran unarmed through the small town was captured on video by an unnamed witness in a vehicle near the scene. The video’s wide broadcast in recent days ignited outrage among activists, politicians and celebrities who saw the incident as the latest case of white perpetrators killing a black man and going unpunished.
It was not immediately clear if the two men had retained attorneys.
A district attorney appointed to handle the high-profile case after two other prosecutors recused themselves said on Wednesday he would ask a county grand jury to decide if the two men should face charges.
The men’s arrest by the GBI, one day after the agency opened an investigation into the case, appears to have sidelined any grand jury probe.
The video footage shows Arbery jogging down a narrow two-lane road and around the McMichaels’ white pickup truck, which had stopped in the right lane with its driver’s door open.
As Arbery crosses back in front of the truck, a gunshot is fired.
Arbery is then seen struggling with a man holding a long gun as a second man stands in the bed of the truck brandishing a revolver.
Two more shots are heard before Arbery stumbles and falls face down onto the asphalt.
The GBI said it was Travis McMichael who fired the fatal round.
According to a police report, Gregory McMichael, a former Glynn County police officer and district attorney’s investigator, told detectives the incident began when he spotted Arbery from his front yard “hauling ass” down the street.
McMichael told police that, because he suspected Arbery in a string of recent neighborhood break-ins, he and his son gave chase in the truck, with Gregory McMichael carrying a .357 Magnum revolver and Travis armed with a shotgun.
Gregory McMichael said Arbery began to “violently attack” his son, fighting him for the shotgun, prompting Travis to open fire.

Yeah, it’s called trying to defend yourself from some redneck asshole pointing a gun at you.
Murder charges, idiot
Pretty stupid thing to do, as the deceased found out.
I hope you try to "defend yourself from some redneck asshole pointing a gun at you" soon.
Loser.

It's OK to Be White
But there's a big difference between vindictive murder and self-defense murder.
At that point Arbery had the right to defend himself from racist white men with guns.
Aubrey feared for his life.
He paid with his life. It's my sincere desire that you also attack and try to disarm someone with a gun in the near future.
How were the "white men" supposedly "racist"?
Idiot. Arbery ran around the passenger side of the car after seeing one of the gun-carrying lunkheads standing on the driver's side and watching him. He was shot within seconds of coming around again. Those two had no business trying to stop Arbery at gunpoint. Furthermore, we don't know what they said to Arbery during the episode.
What makes you think he was trying to grab it out of someone's hand, rather than trying to push it away because it was pointed at him? That freakazoid fired off three shots in seven seconds.
He ran toward one of the gun-carrying lunkheads standing on the driver's side and watching him. Then he tried to grab the gun. Then he got shot.
