Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tanis143" data-source="post: 3367657" data-attributes="member: 43724">You're right. For that, I apologize. I've based my opinion on three things: the initial police report which was released, the video taken by a 3rd party of the shooting, and Georgia law on citizen's arrest and the legal definition of trespassing. I've not watched any news articles. Have I used Colion Noir as a reference? Yes, because A) he is a lawyer and B)He has spoken out on shootings like this and has never used race as a basis for his opinion. Using the three things listed points to the McMichaels being in the wrong and legally responsible for Arbery's death. I have stated, multiple times, that if proof comes out that they had direct knowledge of Arbery committing a felony, then that would change things. So far, no evidence has been produced to support this. So yes, I have formed my opinion, but its an unbiased one as I have not looked at any of the participants background, just the facts as they have been presented. I have also stated that anything can happen in a trial. What will happen is the defense lawyers will try to use Arbery's past to justify what the McMichaels did, just as several other members in here have done. And the good ole boy statement? That is pretty much what people who focus on Arbery's past are doing. The McMichaels were just two good boys trying to stop a criminal. Lets just overlook the simple fact what they did was illegal and it gave Arbery every right to defend himself. But Arbery bad, McMichaels good....</blockquote>
