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
that race is in the case and i agree the prosecutors would make it the key issue for their case. i thought the comments were not appropriate. i was disturbed by them, and didn t agree with them. my belief, though, is that she is i know miss hogue, she s a very good lawyer and i expect she had some reason, whatever it was, to say what she did. doesn t make it right, doesn t make it appropriate, doesn t make it more palatable. maybe she has the finger on the pulse of a juror or jury from things we don t know about jurors, things that were said, so it was an unfortunate moment and disturbing moment in the closing, but also disturbing to hear about our neighborhood, our this, just reminds me of division, reminds me of who fits, who doesn t fit, who belongs, who doesn t belong, and that s and that s disheartening. and it is a sad commentary maybe
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
