not on the phone with 911 giving team play by play tells you that travis and greg knew they weren t they had not called 911. travel knew, his dad hadn t called 911, okay? neither one of them called 911. they had no intention of calling 911. just like they confronted the homeless guy under the bridge and then called 911. just like they ran him down february 11th to the house and then called 911. they go get their guns, go to do a confrontation, and then called 911. greg mcmichael didn t even bother to take his cell phone with him. obvious that travel did not call 911. travis mcmichael, 60 seconds after mr. arbery has run past 230 satilla drive he makes his driveway decision. doesn t tell his dad to calm down, doesn t tell his dad that no, he s not getting his shotgun and running after somebody. doesn t tell his dad this is a
have a fence, doesn t have no trespassing signs on, can you send somebody out? not an emergency. greg mcmichael is in front of 230 satilla drive alone and sees mr. arbery running down the street. driveway decision one, how do we know he didn t witness any crime? the whole thing started when i saw this guy running down the street. he does not know that mr. arbery was inside 220. he only sees him running down the street. travis mcmichael didn t know anything. he s inside on the sofa. greg mcmichael assumed the worst. so i thought, you know, he s running from somebody. he s just done something. you know, he might have hurt somebody or whatever, because, you know, this guy s been in and out of that one house over and over and over again, got him on videos and everything. that is not sufficient for a citizens arrest. this is not probable cause. this is i don t know what in the world this guy was doing but
0 this arm on ahmaud arbery was 25 inches, this arm was 26 inches and the barrel of the shotgun is over 28 inches. do the math. did he hit him? he did he punch him? did he strike him, when the shotgun is like this? easy, do the math. this is what travis mcmichael did. there is no fear here. there is only anger. remember, it is the standard of reasonable beliefs that the force used is necessary. do you really believe he had no other choice but to use this shot gun? is that what you really believe? no other choice. what are the alternatives? well, the first alternative is don t start this. i ll tell you something, my husband, he always tells this to our three nephews, david, ben and sam. what he says is there is some rules for life. you know what those rules are. don t go looking for trouble. because you will find it. and it is not going to turn out the way you think it is. what he s really saying is, don t be that guy who starts the bar fight and goes, let a s go t in the parking lot. i
