This could be where the prosecutors get it right and go with the appropriate charge, in contrast to the Trayvon Martin case.
Legally, yes. Stand your ground does not apply if you initiate.

When Blacks kill other Blacks, they get arrested. Something that didn't happen here until now.

They're probably Trump supporters from the racist south.

Right. And if two armed black men chased down a white 'suspect' and shot him dead, there would be just as much coverage even if they were arrested.

Are you stupid or ignorant? Or both?

I don't care about coverage, give me justice instead. The outrage is that the rednecks didn't get arrested for their crimes, presumably because they were white. If they happened to be black, they would have already been sitting in a dark jail cell for months.

Why does everyone keep talking about the father. What exactly can he be charged with beyond maybe a false attempted imprisonment? I don't even think the son is facing any serious time. They took the law into their own hands and it ended very badly. The worst charge that can be leveled will be involuntary manslaughter.

Innocent man dead and those 2 other men are DONE, going away for a very long time, if not life.

Hey, call the cops if you suspect someone needs to be checked-out or arrested.

You should be kicked off this board, if for no other reason than you really suck at this debate thing.

Innocent?
He had prior criminal convictions, one of them a gun conviction, and he was suspected of burglarizing a residence in that neighborhood. Apparently there is video of him commiting a burglary that hasn't been released to the public yet.

Also, the defence is going to make a strong case for the two men acting in self-defense. They're going to claim that Arbery ran toward the man holding the shotgun, tried to grab the shotgun away from him, thus giving the man the only option to shoot in self-defense.

The jury will have to decide what to believe.
