All this was originally and wrongly posted in another thread.
So if you have already answered to this ignore it.
They have no right or authority to try to stop anyone.
Please show everybody this law you made up.
Absent a law against said activity, a person has every right and authority to try and stop someone to talk to them.
So stop making things up.
And to Arbery, there's no difference at all between "stop" by two guys armed with guns, and "detain" him.
You do not know that and absent evidence you can not speak for Arbery or what he thought, especially as you are not a mind reader, let alone someone who speak to the dead.
He clearly did not want to be "stopped"
Which can be ascertained from his known actions of refusing to stop the first time and from his attacking instead of stopping and talking.
and the two thugs tried to force him with guns to "stop."
What a stupid reply. No evidence exists that says they used their guns to try and get him to stop
What clear avenue of 'egress' was open to him?
All avenues to the left, the right and to the rear.
Right, no reason to be concerned, just a black man in the south with a truck, a car, and three armed assholes following you and blocking your path. Anyone who didn't see that was obviously harmless is an idiot....or something.
You are making things up to believe again.
There is no evidence that he knew the two were armed to begin with. There is no evidence to suggest that there was any knowledge of the third person being armed (if he even was).
Only after the son was out and had a shotgun in his hands would he have known, and instead of taking off in another direction and at a faster pace, he chose to attack when he did not have to.
A truck doesn't block foot traffic?
Your replies are getting more and more ridiculous. No. A vehicle in it's lane does not block foot traffic were the foot traffic is supposed to be.
Sure, but for the truck in one lane, and a thug with a shotgun in the other. And he has no obligation to turn around - he's a free man, and these assholes had NO authority to impede his route.
iLOL Pointing out the avenues available is not saying he had to take them.
It is a rebuttal showing your argument of "blocked" is absurdly wrong.
He's moved from the center of the left lane to in front of the truck and was moving further right in that picture.
No he wasn't. He was being pushed back at that point.
If the thug son had stayed in the left hand lane, there's no problem. What would you do if some thug with a shotgun starts running toward you as you're passing the truck?
This is not about what I would do. This is about the evidence and it's relevance.
Trying to stop someone to talk with them is not illegal.
Attacking someone is.
Bottom line is these dumb rednecks had no authority to block his route, or detain him, or stop him for questioning.
He was not blocked and he was not detained.
And they had every right in the world to try to stop to someone to talk to them. That in and of itself is not illegal activity.
Arbery was at that time a free man and didn't have ANY obligation to listen to these guys.
No one said he did. How many times does that need to be made clear to you?
He tried to avoid them - they tried to block him.
Trying to stop someone to talk to them is not blocking.
It really isn't, but since the State decided to prosecute they will have to prove their case.
If you want to defend this, that's fine, but if the two Gomer Pyle's want to play cop, they need to pass the tests, and get hired and get a badge.
Irrational commentary at it's best.
