McMichael stated he then ran inside his house and called to Travis and said " Travis the guy is running down the street lets go " .

McMichael stated he went to his bedroom and grabbed his Magnum and Travis grabbed his shotgun
(called to Travis sounds like Travis was at least in the vicinity but not necessarily in the house)

Travis doesn't live with his Dad so why was his shotgun so close? He could have left it over at his Dads house or just happened to have it.




I believe the father and son live in different houses.
I may be mistaken, but I think Travis lives in the house in that neighborhood. Dad may spend a lot of time there, but his residence is elsewhere.

All that can be heard in the 911 call is 'STOP'. But wait, are you admitting they were not just in the road minding their own?

He had no reason to be afraid for his life before that though.
He had plenty of reason to be afraid for his life as soon as he understood he was being followed by two strangers in a pick-up. Reasonable people actually feel fear when such things happen.

Actually, to be afraid of jail, Arbery would only have to believe that he had done something worthy of jail time.

We cant know what was in his head, but your conclusion isn’t the only possibility.
It certainly posed a threat in this case. These men were behaving recklessly when they decided to pursue a runner using their vehicle, and with their guns.

Trespassing. Yeah, that's certainly jail-time worthy. Looky-loos watch out! The law is coming for you. Or at least ex-law men who are trying to relive their glory days and feel all-important again. Stop! Stop! I say! I have no authority over you, but you better do as I tell you, because I have a gun!

You have one video where he can be identified. ONE.

And looky-loos come in all ages, and the VAST majority aren't thieves or vandals.
Do we know who made the first 911 call? Whoever it was said this about Arbery, “And he’s been caught on camera a bunch before tonight. Kind of an ongoing thing out here.”

Has any investigation been done to determine how this guy knew it was Arbery, if he hadn’t been caught on camera “a bunch of times”?

Neither of us would have even heard about this case if it wasn't useful to push narratives that make certain people money.
The outrage was caused by two men involved in a shooting where a man died, not even being called in for questioning by the police. The outrage was caused by months going by, while no one investigated. And then a video went viral.

You think people shouldn't get worked up over injustice?

Jaywalkers too!

You tell them I'm coming, and hell is coming with me.
