Probable cause for an arrest is a pretty low standard compared to what is needed for an actual conviction.

That they have been charged with aggravated assault certainly doesn’t mean that they will be convicted of aggravated assault.
Gee, thanks for spelling out what we all already know.

It means that some posters think it's hilarious to make up exaggerated details in order to make fun of the death of an unarmed person at the hands of armed pursuers. Go figure.

I’ve never suggested that what the McMichaels did was a good idea. But a bad idea, even a very bad one, can be perfectly legal.
Not if you are pointing guns at people.

Again, if you are just going to just make things up, at least make the nonsense interesting.

No one saw a felony.
Yeah I agree with you.

I originally though it might be Travis because the voice is quite similar to the earlier Feb 911 call that we know was Travis.

But, after considering, there are probably lots of men in that area that sound the same.

And, I dont think they would still be redacting the name if it was Travis.

That move from the passenger side door area to in front of the truck is Travis advancing on Arbery when Arbery was moving away from Travis. It is only after Travis moved from driver side to front of truck that Arbery made a turn to the left.
Did you mean to say when Travis passed the truck Arbery passed the truck and turned left?

Ha.......seriously I agree with you. The McMichaels were not going to let Arbery pass them.....no way, no how. If we can see that, I'm sure Arbery could see it.

Yeah, they weren't going to let him pass....so long as we ignore that he did in fact pass them....and they let him do it.


Again, be more creative if you are just going to make ridiculous things up.

It won't be the first time a politically-motivated prosecution fails for poor evidence.
Well no duh, the entire forum is irrelevant to anything, it is a place for discussion, glad you finally found that out.

Did you miss the word "if" in what I posted?

I have already said its not totally clear if they were pointing guns.

But, Travis does appear to raise his arms as Arbery approaches the truck. We know he had the shotgun in his hands so why else would he be raising his arms other than to point the gun?
