They are responsible for chasing him with guns. They created the situation where Arbery felt that flight wasn't an option, that fight was his only option.
He had already tried flight, and they continued to pursue him until they blocked his path. When he was cornered he went to fight to try to survive their attack.
You have no proof the victim was in a life or death situation. If you do I'd like to see proof of that.
They are not responsible for the poor decision Arbery choose when he attacked the shooter.
Three guys, two in one pickup truck armed and one in a second vehicle chasing someone unarmed on foot and you don't think that is proof enough that the unarmed guy running feared for his life? Obviously you've never been in that situation where you were being chased by someone(s) in a vehicle that you couldn't identify as someone you knew while on foot.
After the trial, I hope you don't take the verdict and sentencing too hard.
Brother, when a stranger is holding you hostage while armed, your life is in danger.
Exactly. And the unarmed jogger didn't know if they were going to just shoot him or tie him to the back of the pickup truck and drag him to his death, like what happened a number of years back to James Byrd Jr.

lol He wasn't cornered and they didn't attack him. Plenty of open space to run or jog.

No it's not and you have no proof. You actually think if Arbery just sat there and waited for police which would have been the smart thing to do, his life would have been in danger?
Either way attacking the shooter was the worst thing to do.

The gun was for self defense. If they wanted him dead, they would have shot him right away.
Instead he made a poor decision and attacked the shooter.
While race may have play no part, you know full well why the MSM does what it does, yet you either naively don't notice it, or are too happy to play along with it.

In this case, the race card is very much in play. I don't buy into the race card for many incidents, but in this case, it is absolutely there.
I do not believe for a second that these hayseeds would have chased a white guy down the streets with their guns.
Not for a single second.
I am not forming my opinion based on what the MSM said, I'm forming my opinion because I remember a certain black man who was dragged behind a pick up truck in the south. That's what I think of when I think of this story of 3 redneck morons chasing a black man down in a pick up truck in the south.
James Byrd Jr.
I will never forget that story. I will never forget what they did to that man.
It's not the same situation, but when you mention rednecks, the south, pick up trucks - that's where my mind goes. And it will always go there, because of the horrific death that Byrd Jr endured at the hands of a bunch of racist tw*ts.
So, yes, it's the south. He was a black man. Three hayseed losers chased him in their truck, got out with guns, and started yelling orders at him.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have an idea what the victim was thinking when he saw that. His life was in danger. And now he's dead.
