Zimmerman did not pull out the gun until Martin was straddling his chest, beating his head against the pavement.
These guys TOLD dispatch they were going to arm themselves and confront him, they waited for him to come around the bend.
Did you not see the guy in the bed of the pickup with the very large handgun?Why would you run all the way around a truck to attack a man armed with a shotgun?
Could have ran away.
Could have used the truck for cover.
Could have put hands up and waited for popo.
No, bum rush a guy with a shotgun from 20 feet away that's not a great plan.
I'll bet any of our Leo's could pull up a rap sheet on the dead guy with multiple offenses and if he got turned over to popo would have been a manditory jail sentance, ie 3 time looser type stuff.
There is more than a simple racist thing going on with the da not arresting the shooter.
Jogging ? Casing? Let the rap sheet guide your thoughts.
From the story:We don't know there was intent to kill or even stop the guy at that moment.
The truck was in the middle of the right lane and the shot gun holder in the middle of the left hand lane as the dead guy approaches from behind in a run.
From all we can tell from the grainy video it's entirely possible the shooters had stopped and were looking for the guy as he ran up and surprised them.
True, but apparently, that's what they told the deputiesSays "from the story", not from the facts.
It's not looking good that they were in the middle of the street with guns drawn when all this went down.
Reminds me of an intro to Concealed Carry law session I attended. Some dude said..."so, I wuz out ayut my farm and 4 dudes came up in a FOHerrr wheeler on my propertah and they all hayud long guns, would I have been justified in drawin my gun?" Turns out the 4 said he was on their property and he said it was his....long story short there was apparently no attempt to deescalate the situation by the guy. I guess the others left (as usual those events are mumbled). So a guy with a handgun somewhere (on his person I assume) is asking in a class if it is okay to draw on people who may or may not have mistakenly thought it was their land - all of whom had long guns (likely rifles as he said they were deer hunting).Fuck yes I am. If I'm unarmed, and a couple of dudes come up with shotguns and want to talk I'm not about to start a confrontation. I'll try and de-escalate the situation and try to have the cops intervene. The video doesn't show them just open up on the guy with the shotgun. There was a struggle first.

This the case where the black guy was breaking into everyone’s house

Thieves should all be dead
Your understanding of the justifiable use of deadly force appears lacking. IThe prosecutors and the media said the same exact things some of you guys are in the George Zimmerman murder trial.
He was acquitted by a jury of his peers. I guess they were all racists as well.

Are you the mainstream media manipulating people’s words like they did with ZimZam?

What proof do you have that he wasn’t breaking into houses like has been reported?
That's true. I guess my sense of self-preservation is just higher than this guys. I see two armed guys, my first thought is not to bum rush the one with the shotgun.That's you. Everyone reacts differently to a threat. That guy's reaction is no less valid because it's different from what you think you would do in the same situation.
Except, the video doesn't appear to just show him "standing his ground". It shows him aggressively charging the guy with the shotgun. Then during a violent struggle another blast is heard. This is not as clear cut as the liberal media would have you believe.
Are you guys gonna seriously believe that the media is playing fair here? The victim is black and the shooter is white. Which side are they going to automatically take?
Yeah a question mark isn’t relevantI quoted the relevant portion of your post, WORD FOR WORD.
Are you retarded? Do you think that "standing his ground" means just stand fucking motionless?
You display an unbelievable lack of understanding of the use of deadly force and an unbelievable inability to believe that anyone would react differently than you say you would under the same circumstances.
If they don’t cover it up he will very likely be found to have criminal history.
On the contrary. I see this very clearly as far as the information we all have.You and I agree on a lot, but you are clearly fucking delusional in this case. WTF?
Oh hold the presses.
Shooter was retired leo.
Now what.
Shit, id keep doing what i was doing, RUN! Nothing good can happen staying there. IF they blocked him in i would have complied, waited for cops.Okay, If someone is threatening you with a shotgun and you are unarmed, what are you gonna do?
Not fight back?
I thought this guy had a rap sheet? What happened to that? Now he is retired leo? Source please.guna need lots more popcorn.
Jogging while black and beating on old retired leo.
Guy filming was friend of shooter?
Soo many attitudes just changed, instantly
But reality is: this dude was likely guilty
When the cops went to tell the mother her son was shot after robbing a house, she didn't doubt it. Said the believed it. Where do you think that comes from? Maybe she's racist and hated her black son too???Holy shit you have zero premise for that assumption. Next time you're outside your house and someone murders you I'll be sure to just assume you were likely guilty and deserved to be gunned down by a racist old fuck
Prior bad acts are indications of character. The criminal justice system is out to get these guys either way. The public will view it differently if the guy is a thug.
Shit, id keep doing what i was doing, RUN! Nothing good can happen staying there. IF they blocked him in i would have complied, waited for cops.
Without knowing what was said, i cannot say what i would have done. But reality is: this dude was likely guilty, someone stood up to him, he didn’t like being caught, fought back cause he was prob going to be arrested, lost the fight.
Criminals KNOW the work around, they get away with shit cause they work the loopholes. Two men standing up for what was probably right, are now in the spotlight , painted in a bad way.
Now nothing. He will be held to account.Shooter was retired leo.
Now what.
The video linked earlier didn't look like a chase but a planned confrontation. The drivers door was open with a man standing in the bed of the truck when the jogger approached the truck.Now, I just found this. If this letter's legit (it would seem to be based on some news articles I've found), it suggests Arbery had some kind of mental health record plus prior convictions that might've had a role in how he acted prior to his death. Which doesn't mean the guy writing the letter isn't biased in some way but I'd like to know about these records.
According to an article I read a few minutes ago, the two guys in the truck claimed they chased Arbery because they saw him hanging around/inside a home under construction in their neighborhood, noted he fit the description of a burgler who'd been prowling around, and decided to perform a citizen's arrest. Article also says, though, that the only "burglary" in the last several months prior to the incident was a car break-in about a month before.
Another one who has no fucking clue how these things work.......
Thats what the left would say. Maybe not the best thing to throw around in here.I see the klan is out tonight
All the joggers I know do it 12 miles from home, in cargo shorts, and untied Timberland boots.Except, as it is currently being reported, the victim wasn’t breaking into any houses and was jogging through a neighborhood.
