If he would've stopped and talked to them nothing would've happened. Instead he kept running just as a burglar might do, so they kept in pursuit. I viewed the video. Arbery made a 90 degree turn ran right at McMichaels, grabbing the gun and was punching him in the head. No one forced him to do that. What else was McMichaels supposed to do give Arbery his gun and he get shot? Arbery was completely shot in self defense.
Perhaps they could have followed him at a safe distance and called 911. He was jogging on a public road and they were in trucks. If they were concerned about a possible crime or the jogger having a gun, wouldn't it be prudent to call the police? The truth is they weren't out to "talk" to him they were vigilantes on a hunt and he was a black man in their neighborhood.
Lol, this guy mtl1. This guy isn't factoring in all of what the GBI has put together prior and is just holding on to his initial thoughts of looking at the video. What's it called when you willfully ignore things again?

Bingo.
Their "citizen's arrest" BS is feeble.
However, if they get a jury of their peers, they'll likely get off.
That narrative defies all plausibility. All they wanted to do is was stop and question him and wait till the police got there. How do you box someone in driving on a residential street when the person can run in any direction? You would have to chase and catch them on foot like police have to do all the time when the suspect runs. This is some serious gaslighting going on.
Arbery didn't know that. He hadn't done anything wrong and was out jogging and checking out a construction site, which many people do on a regular basis. Bryan even admitted that he hit Arbery with his truck at least once and another time almost ran over him. Arbery had to jump into a ditch to avoid getting run over.
Georgia law doesn't allow regular citizens to give chase to someone they never witnessed committing a crime. All 3 mofos have admitted to the GBI that they never saw Arbery commit anything.
You're really bending over backward to try to justify this lynch mob.
Edit.
The truck hit Arbery hard enough to put a dent on the truck. Think about that. Try to put a dent on a truck with only your person. It's hard.
Think of the physical and mental stress these rednecks put Arbery through chasing him around, cutting him off, hitting him, made him jump into a ditch to avoid getting hit again, etc. Of course at the end Arbery turned toward the gun totting redneck. Arbery was fighting for his life.

Sounds plausible. neighbor could have said they just saw this guy breaking into a house, help us get him, and the neighbor blindly went along with it.
As for me, I would have just called the police and stayed out of the whole ordeal.
I think he was a participant, but based off of incorrect information, and certainly not a party to the killing, from the evidence I seen anyway.
Most would have just called police as you indicated I would never chase someone down based on a hunch particularly when he wasn't carrying any stolen articles. If it turns out that he was involved in cutting off Arbery he could be convicted, I don't see his participation any different than McMichael's son.
Why not just use your cell phone camera and let the authorities settle this later.

There's no "If" in this. The original police report clearly stated Bryan was involved chasing Arbery and trying to box him in. Bryan admitted to hitting Arbery with his truck. There's a dent on his truck with Arbery's shirt fiber on it. In the original police report, the McMichaels even called Bryan by his nickname and said he helped them chase Arbery down.
It wasn't until the McMichaels were arrested that Bryan and his lawyer started creating a new narrative, that Bryan was just a bystander in all this.
Remember that for 2 months, the local PD maintained that Arbery was killed during a robbery (by Arbery). So, for 2 months they saw themselves as heros.

I can't believe people are still pushing the "jogger" narrative. LOL Hey never give an inch right? Conservatives could learn from such steadfastness.

Much was made of this point in the first thread on this incident.
And yet, not one single person brought any of this up in the preliminary hearing.
Guessing because it has no relevance to anything. Arberry had a right to be on the road. He was under no obligation to run onto private property either to try to escape them or to seek help which he may or may not have found.
