Here is my question to gun owners; Why is it okay for a gun owner to believe that if someone takes away their gun that they will be killed by it, and yet, a person with a gun pointed at them should not believe that they would be killed by a gun owner and have no right to fight for their life?
No it's not , they are white supremacists they do not view our children as children but eventual threats . Stop being naive and pretending confusion. You know what it is and if you don't wake up
You’re right, I saw the video of Ahmad laying on the ground moving. Nobody helped him, that’s why I always help myself and don’t wait for anybody else to help me. Thanks and Stay Safe.
@@darthvaderoftheredpill5196 Prove it, because I watched all bodycam videos several times and didn't hear him say a single derogatory word about Arbery aside from Greg saying he was an asshole, which is putting it lightly. I'd go as far as to say the shotgun slugs he fired were the only thing of value that was lost that day. Arbery was a horrible person and a criminal Furthermore, the world is a much better place now that he isn't with us anymore and stuff like this needs to happen much more often
They brought guns because they were scared of a big tall black guy. Any normal person would just call the cops especially if its not even your personal property on the line.
He kept the gun on Ahmaud and kept pumping the gun and shooting him. I am a Vietnam veteran and this is plain murder! He never took his finger off the trigger.
This is crazy, what did he think the man was suppose to do when being attacked. Not try to defend himself???? This is the prime example of how arrogant this man is, even being in the wrong. He is acting as if it's Ahmauds fault.
He was to obey, and take whatever a white man give him, the same as good slaves. If he is so brave, and sure of himself, he should repeat the gold teeth, cigarettes, and N word, in front of his new neighbors, and inmates all colors, will pop that head, make him run, and pin him like a rat. His buddy Bryan can holler down the hall, "y'all got 'em?" He made the choice to chase Ahmaud, instead of walking, or jogging with him for a unthreatend conversation. Now he will worry if HIS son, will be targeted because of his crap. He should have told his heart attack, stroked, hip replaced Father, to leave it for the cops. I have to wonder though, if the cops are kittens, like the ones responding after the homicide of Ahmaud.
@Slider2700 u don’t know the law. Scary. He’s using terminology that officers use to invoke the power that is reserved for them. Off of common sense this case can only go one way. Citizens arrest does not apply here. These are vigilante wannabes who are in a really bad spot
And there where three of them can't fight.. this is what happens when idiots have guns. They think there invincible.. he had a gun and still getting his ass kicked.
WTF In the video I seem a black guy chasing a white guy the black guy was beating the white guy and trying to take his gun and the guy when off. How is this racist? If anything why was the black guy beating the white guy?
@@jojohns1949 you're either a troll or you're just very dumb. You clearly watched a different video and thank God the jurors saw the truth. They murdered that man. Get help for your racism because people like you are the reason we have a serious problem in America.
@@jojohns1949 yer not very bright OR yer one of these elementary kids who’s been indoctrinated by Republican parents lol. They literally chased him down and boxed him in WITH a shotgun! Amaud in SELF DEFENSE at that point tried to protect himself by getting the gun away from them and eliminating the threat and they shot him. They were all found guilty! Exactly how it should have went. Don’t chase people down and try to take law into yer own hands. Republicans will ALWAYS side with the fat hillbillies with guns
You cannot claim "self-defense" when you hunted, chased, and killed an innocent man because he wouldn't stop to talk to you! You're not sorry, you're sorry you got caught.
I don’t know why anyone didn’t say this! It was making sick to my stomach! “If he had my gun it would’ve been life or death” then why did you have to chase him? Like that situation would never have happened if he stopped chasing.
Exactly. It’s sad because it was so unnecessary and avoidable but they chose to escalate it till a an innocent man lost his life. Now they’ll rot in jail and have plenty of time to re live the incident in their heads and realize how wrong they were
Spread your cheeks & bite the pillow Travis. Ole Zues got a big sausage for ya. It's big & brown & he's gonna brown it some more. Gonna play a game of cornhole & afterwards u gonna be shooting some mud darts.

@@jdc9528 Her son who was determined to be an innocent man was murdered by morons who were too foolhardy to wait for law enforcement. They couldn't even give them 5 minutes. The cop was so close he could hear the gunfire. What kind of A-hole faults a mother for shedding tears during her son's murder trial ?
@@RagnarLoudpak First off. Condolences to the Arbery family. Next they are all in a courtroom where in the gallery, certain rules have to be maintained. With human emotions it's not an easy thing to do.
He's so afraid of getting shot if he got ahold of his gun. WTF do u think he felt when you threatened him with that gun? It was life or death when YOU introduced the gun.
@Ron Cashe news flash, they still have to follow the law. They did not catch him stealing anything. He does not have to stop for anybody but the police this is America for all not just whites
He had countless earlier opportunities to shoot him. Arbery could have even run off through the yard. Instead he tried to wrestle away the gun. Based off the testimony and Arbery past actions, including a gun charge and jogging to a Walmart to steal a flat-screen, it's obvious Arbery is disturbed and became irritated when he was spotted casing the house.
If they just wanted to talk to the victim, why on earth did they grab their guns? And if they thought he might have a weapon, why did they follow him at all?
Exactly! This is what both this case and the Rittenhouse case have in common. The killers tried to take the law into their own hands rather than letting qualified professionals deal with it. They play "Rambo" on the street and then when they've murdered people they cry "self-defense". That defense just doesn't hold water when they've injected themselves into a situation they have no business nor authority in. It seems as though these guns are giving ordinary people the false sense of security that they think they are cops now.
Because they suspected Arbery may be armed with a weapon, possibly a handgun in his pocket. A handgun was stolen from Travis's truck some weeks prior. And Travis called out to a dark complexioned person who ran off at night from the in construction property and that person shoved something in their pocket.
@Captain Obvious he most certainly will be able to read comments. The question is why are you sweating about how they comment? We can comment however we choose ffs.
Just a crazy situation. You point a gun at someone. Then they resist to avoid being shot. You initiate the situation, pull the trigger your responsible for the situation. Responsible for taking a life.

Exactly! How is anyone debating this?? You have no business chasing someone with a gun! It’s not your property, you’re not in danger you’re just a foolish child.
@@elanfredette4661 what if someone mugs you, can you shoot them then? I'm curious on your whole view on that. I'm aware the reason it's frowned upon because if criminals knew as soon as they turned their backs they'd get a bullet in it, then they'd just kill the ppl they mug, which is bad.
It was a “life or death situation” that you provoked by pulling a shotgun on Mr. Arbery, so you don’t get to claim self defense. Ahmaud had was 100 justified in defending himself because someone doesn’t pull and point a shotgun on you unless they intend to kill you. I think the prosecution said it well: If you’re going to take the law into your own hands, then you’d better at least know the law.
I hate when people like this weaponize their tears to get out of the trouble they caused. You harrassed, trapped and killed that man like he was nothing. Where were those tears then?
Because it's a tried and tested method for white people. No matter how heinous the crime is, they are innocent till proven guilty...... for black people it's the polar opposite. Guilty til proven innocent.... hence Trayvon,Tamir, Emmet and the list is endless.
It wasnt tears then. It was proud boy defiance, and never say die confederate rebel behavior. That continued in the trial itself. They spent much time criminalizing the actual victim. As black folk, we all know the playbook. So do sensible white people today. I guess thats progress, if you want to call it that.
So he chases a man down, corners and threatens him and then is surprised that he fought back! I just do not under this logic! What in slave catchers is that
These are the same people who argue "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." too. I guess its ok to shoot someone trying to shoot you, but not ok to try to punch them.
Gun owners seem to think no one has the right to defend themselves except them (with the gun). I just wish they’d admit they have the gun because they want to shoot something, and they carry it with them so they can. They also seem to think that the UNARMED person has just as much of a desire to use the gun.
The most emotion he showed all trial. Not for the man he killed, not for the loss the family suffered, not for the pain inflicted on the entire community, but for how he is the real victim here.
@@lucyromano-cw9fvwell not really a victim. Because when he became an adult and started thinking for himself, he could and should rethink hus opinions and beliefs, and distance himself from racism. I dont feel sorry for Travis one bit.
His sense of victimhood is base on false sense of fear that he willingly subjected himself to. Classic example of what happens when you don’t mind your business, a simple police report would have sufficed if he truly believed Ahmad was stealing.
Bruh the worse part is they show a video of both him and his father talking to the police and they say he never stole anything he just walks around the place they are truly horrible people by that fact alone
Speaking as a contractor, having my stuff stolen not once from both a job sides and from my van - police doesn’t do a thing about . It’s like known fact…. And that’s why such crap is happening…. Even when you later find your stuff on Craigslist, you’re still not able to recover it often because of stupid regulations…. And I kind of can understand hard working people having the stuff they provide their families by stollen and unable to do anything about it…. It’s unfortunate what has happened, but it’s systems inactivity that provoked it
@@IaroslavSavchuk no, this man provoked it plain & simple. His equipment wasn’t stolen… he didn’t even work at or own the property under construction. It was proven nothing was stolen from the site either. How can we blame the system for a trigger happy, prejudice and violent vigilante murdering a young man? He should’ve have minded his business and the things that he worked so hard for.
The sad thing is he's acting like he did nothing wrong. People are crazy as hell man. As a blackman you gotta watch how you move. I just wish certain things never happened in life. R.I.P to that young man.
I’m tired of this,”as a Black man _you_ have to do this and that and don’t do this and don’t do that,” to be able to live! The dude was getting some exercise! For crying out loud, the dude was jogging!
@@OO-nb2kt the point is, as a black person you are subjected EVERYDAY to things that you should not be, and have to cater to certain people just not to be bothered or accused of something. I go through it daily. At work, when I'm out jogging as well. It is definitely based on race. If you think not, we'll then you're not living in reality.
Even when I was a teenager, if I saw some white women walking in front of me, I'd always cross the street. It's a sad world we live in, but I know how as a black kid then(and male now), I'm always viewed as a 'threat'.
@@justanothernube4633 he doesn't feel bad now. Only because he's going to prison. He's been shown to use foul racist language. They even caught it in his texts.
He used that part so that the jury would feel sorry for him and to get his “tears” started…not tearss for killing Ahmaud but the thought of not being able to see his son come home from school everyday.
he told dispatch that he "wasn't sure" if Ahmed Arbor was armed... wielding a gun is dangerous. chasing down a man you (apparently) THINK is armed is dangerous -they made ASSUMPTIONS abt the poor guy they were -_-chasing down-_- while tryna tell us they would've would've done the exact same thing if the jogger checking out the construction site looked more like one of THEIR cousins - read; if he was "white"-
( wups, THAT comment isn't working for some reason... here's the part that looks cut off, @ least on MY phone) : ... (as if they) would've done the what they _did_ do if the jogger checking out the construction site looked more like one of THEIR cousins - read; if he was "white".
He was not crying that night. I do not fall for it at all... what good are tears now especially if they are not falling for Ahmaud. TRAVIS stood over amhauds body as he was dying and and the last thing Ahmaud heard was TRAVIS calling him a N on the way out.
So Riddy Bryan says that and you believe it. There is no evidence of that word being used and he will not testify. Is there anyone else that is testifying that he Travis has ever used that word? Are there recordings or any other evidence I am not aware of?
Morals of the Story: 1. Don’t start nothin’ ….. won’t be nothing 2. Don’t bring a shot gun to a fist fight. Take the butt whooping instead of a life sentence in the state penitentiary. 3. It’s against the law to trap a person like a rat or willfully apprehend anyone against their wishes…. Especially when you haven’t seen them commit a crime. 4. It’s ok to run really fast when you jog. It’s ok to run faster if 2 men with firearms say they’ll blow your head off. 5. If you think someone is committing a crime, call the police and go inside your house. Have a coke and smile.
So let me get this straight, I can walk up to someone I think is suspicious, armed, act like a cop, act surprised when they resist or run, and say it was a defense? That’s a bad precedent y’all are setting, really bad
It happened already with Trayvon Martin. He was walking on the phone...the 911 operator literally told the murderer not to follow him n police were otw. He did the opposite went after him with a gun then claimed he was standing his ground when that young boy was simply trying to stay alive...he got off
If someone chasing me in a truck and got out with a gun I'm fighting for my life. He was being chased by three white men, and for what reason. We've learned from history some people don't need a reason.
What am I missing? Was he on foot and on camera in a home that had been burglarized? Was he also seen entering that same home weeks before at night? I jog. I promise you that I have NEVER taken a detour and entered someone else’s property on foot in a neighborhood that has experienced numerous burglaries and car thefts in recent months. Many others jog too and how many of those joggers did that?
@@creativetelcoadmin8170 The homeowner himself, testified Ahmaud NEVER picked up, or even touched anything in his house, and, never gave the McMichael's permission to guard his home.

Would YOU try to disarm them as a last resort? 3 ANGRY BLACK MEN after YOU...think about THAT scenario.
I am confused. "He attacked you?" The man was running down the street minding his own business, when you and your peeps , armed yourselves, chased him, cornered him and murdered him. He hit you with a weak fist and you shot him with a shotgun? Missed me with the bullshit. Please..... And the oscar goes to...
So he believed that AFTER he hunted down and threatened another person who was forced to defend himself that he acted in self defense?!! The insanity of this racist thinking is literally bizarre.

What? He was shot/hit three times (wrist, armpit and chest). The 1st shot was already in the barrel. The 2nd and 3rd shots had to be chambered by Travis each time because he used a pump action Remington that held 6+1. I must have looked at a different live stream yesterday. Sorry.
"Please forget the first 4 minutes and 30 seconds I chased this young man around what's really important is I defend my self from a situation I created by being racist"
This is absolutely disgusting. Every second of this is disgusting. He was wasn't "passed away," he was killed, murdered, publicly executed. He was a man. He was a son. He was someone's family. When are we going to stop accepting the answer that a victim looked suspicious, so murderers can feel justified for approaching them, and then spinning it into self defense? When?
My sentiments exactly! They chased this man down, taking videos of it like it was a sport and shot him dead. THEN tried to cover it up! They should get life in prison ...all of them.
He was a man who tried to take another man's gun away. He made a deadly mistake that took everything else he was away from him. You simply cannot take another person's weapon and expect them no to utilize deadly force. Period.
@@marco3dartist I am a legal gun owner, and I own different types of guns. I have chased a man, while coordinating with my friends, with a gun in my hand exactly zero times.

Try chasing someone with a gun and see if you're not charged with Aggravated Menacing and Reckless Endangerment. It is illegal to chase anyone with a gun, regardless of their color!
I don't know anything about this case but... NO it is NOT illegal to chase someone with a gun. Your statement about that being illegal is just plumb stupid. There is NO law and never has been one that says it's illegal to chase someone with a gun. It might not be a wise idea but it is not illegal. Now chasing and menacing someone if you didn't have a legally justifiable reason to chase them would be illegal wether you have a gun or not. So don't chase someone if you don't have a valid legal reason to chase them. But wether or not you have a gun has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with wether or not chasing the person is legal or illegal. For instance of I see someone who called my wife ugly of Facebook and I see them in public and chase and threaten them for it then that would be illegal regardless of wether I have a gun or not because I did not have a legally valid reason to chase and apprehend him because calling someone ugly is not a crime. But if I catch someone breaking into my garage I have every right in the world to chase him regardless of wether or not I have a gun on me. And he doesn't even have to really be guilty of breaking into my garage as long as I have a reasonable reason for BELIEVING he was breaking into my garage. And I am NOT required to put my gun up before I chase and apprehend him... That is just plumb stupid. Sorry... I don't know anything about this particular case but it just irritates me to see so many people making such ignorant comments about the law. I suggest you order a book called "the law of self defense" and read it before you comment on self defense laws. And also I suggest you study up on gun laws in America before you make ignorant comments about what is, and what isn't legal to do with your gun because the amount of ignorance in America over the right to self defense and gun laws is just staggering.

This case was going the same way as Zimmerman, except for the video. And this demon doesn’t know how to fake cry. Making one’s voice shakey and getting a Kleenex doesn’t make any tears come down. Only telling the truth and being truly remorseful will cause tears to fall.
@Rifle Eyez You're totally wrong in your assessment and should change your thinking. If ever you find yourself in a similar situation, the outcome for you using their way of thinking would result in the same life sentence. Is it worth it?
He brought up his son to make himself cry. He was struggling hard to get those tears out. He wasn't thinking about his boy. I'm sure his attorney's said bring that up so they can feel sorry for him.

He wasn’t remorseful or crying when he was standing over Ahmaud’s dying body. He is crying now bc he is facing murder charges.
That's exactly why. 💯
He called him the n word standing over him. Thats how you react when you shoot someone.
Didn't you watch the video? He cried and he didn't immediately because he was in shock, dummy
@@antman6707 lmfao no he didnt he called him the n word standing over his dead body fk face
@@darthvaderoftheredpill5196 Prove it, because I watched all bodycam videos several times and didn't hear him say a single derogatory word about Arbery aside from Greg saying he was an asshole, which is putting it lightly. I'd go as far as to say the shotgun slugs he fired were the only thing of value that was lost that day. Arbery was a horrible person and a criminal
Furthermore, the world is a much better place now that he isn't with us anymore and stuff like this needs to happen much more often
This is the end result of when u teach racism in your home
A responsible gun owner does not point a firearm at anything they do not intend to shoot. He pointed, he shot. That was his intent all along
100%
For sure
They teach you that in gun classes too

The prosecutor caught him on that towards the start of the cross examination too

They brought guns because they were scared of a big tall black guy. Any normal person would just call the cops especially if its not even your personal property on the line.
He kept the gun on Ahmaud and kept pumping the gun and shooting him. I am a Vietnam veteran and this is plain murder! He never took his finger off the trigger.
Well said sir! A belated thank you for risking your life in Vietnam.

This is crazy, what did he think the man was suppose to do when being attacked. Not try to defend himself???? This is the prime example of how arrogant this man is, even being in the wrong. He is acting as if it's Ahmauds fault.
He was to obey, and take whatever a white man give him, the same as good slaves. If he is so brave, and sure of himself, he should repeat the gold teeth, cigarettes, and N word, in front of his new neighbors, and inmates all colors, will pop that head, make him run, and pin him like a rat. His buddy Bryan can holler down the hall, "y'all got 'em?" He made the choice to chase Ahmaud, instead of walking, or jogging with him for a unthreatend conversation. Now he will worry if HIS son, will be targeted because of his crap. He should have told his heart attack, stroked, hip replaced Father, to leave it for the cops. I have to wonder though, if the cops are kittens, like the ones responding after the homicide of Ahmaud.

So he had a right to chase him down with his shotgun, but Arbery had no right to attempt to disarm him. Oh I get it.
@Slider2700 it's been stated on record that they cornered him so Arbery was left with no choice but to defend himself
@Slider2700 why would you chase someone you are afraid will attack you, even the 911 operators told them not to engage.

As long as Ahmaud Arbery was a black man the killer had the right to chase him down. American way
He said it himself: he would never chase a probably armed man.For him it was obviously clear, that the victim was unarmed. Case closed.

You cannot claim "self-defense" when you hunted, chased, and killed an innocent man because he wouldn't stop to talk to you! You're not sorry, you're sorry you got caught.

@Ron Cashe news flash, they still have to follow the law. They did not catch him stealing anything. He does not have to stop for anybody but the police this is America for all not just whites
@Ron Cashe NEWS FLASH!!!! IT WASN'T HIS PROPERTY AND HE WASNT A COP, THE JURY, OR A JUDGE. BUT, HE MADE HIMSELF THE EXECUTIONER.
@Ron Cashe you shouldn't be stupid enough to confront someone not on your property. That's what the police are for.
He had countless earlier opportunities to shoot him. Arbery could have even run off through the yard. Instead he tried to wrestle away the gun. Based off the testimony and Arbery past actions, including a gun charge and jogging to a Walmart to steal a flat-screen, it's obvious Arbery is disturbed and became irritated when he was spotted casing the house.
@Ron Cashe Hopefully authorities keep an eye on you too. You’re time bomb.
If they just wanted to talk to the victim, why on earth did they grab their guns? And if they thought he might have a weapon, why did they follow him at all?
911 operator told them NOT to engage him and that cops were on the way!!!
GREAT Questions!!!
Exactly! This is what both this case and the Rittenhouse case have in common. The killers tried to take the law into their own hands rather than letting qualified professionals deal with it. They play "Rambo" on the street and then when they've murdered people they cry "self-defense". That defense just doesn't hold water when they've injected themselves into a situation they have no business nor authority in. It seems as though these guns are giving ordinary people the false sense of security that they think they are cops now.
Because they suspected Arbery may be armed with a weapon, possibly a handgun in his pocket. A handgun was stolen from Travis's truck some weeks prior. And Travis called out to a dark complexioned person who ran off at night from the in construction property and that person shoved something in their pocket.
Hate is a hell of ah drug!!!
His whole story is equivalent to a school student telling the teacher that his dog ate his homework

He could have called the cops and shown them the video of Ahmaud walking through the house. Done.
Double standard in the Court.. its ok for this dude who killed Ahmaund to cry but a mother can't cry for his son?
It was a “life or death situation” that you provoked by pulling a shotgun on Mr. Arbery, so you don’t get to claim self defense. Ahmaud had was 100 justified in defending himself because someone doesn’t pull and point a shotgun on you unless they intend to kill you. I think the prosecution said it well: If you’re going to take the law into your own hands, then you’d better at least know the law.
I hate when people like this weaponize their tears to get out of the trouble they caused. You harrassed, trapped and killed that man like he was nothing. Where were those tears then?
Because it's a tried and tested method for white people. No matter how heinous the crime is, they are innocent till proven guilty...... for black people it's the polar opposite. Guilty til proven innocent.... hence Trayvon,Tamir, Emmet and the list is endless.
It wasnt tears then. It was proud boy defiance, and never say die confederate rebel behavior. That continued in the trial itself. They spent much time criminalizing the actual victim. As black folk, we all know the playbook. So do sensible white people today. I guess thats progress, if you want to call it that.

The age old fear of the black man..even when you are behind a gun!
These are the same people who argue "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." too. I guess its ok to shoot someone trying to shoot you, but not ok to try to punch them.
American History
Gun owners seem to think no one has the right to defend themselves except them (with the gun).
I just wish they’d admit they have the gun because they want to shoot something, and they carry it with them so they can.
They also seem to think that the UNARMED person has just as much of a desire to use the gun.

If he gets anything less than life without parole, then justice for Arbery would not have been served.
Indeed 👍🏾
Malice murder alone is a life sentence in that state, even the judge can't reduce it and can only grant him parole if he serves 35 years.
Life without parole!
Thank god he IS sentenced to life without parole now.
Once in prison, he'll face doglegs being inserted in certain orifices on a regular basis. Some of them, HUGE!!
Such BS they were chasing him like an animal . Had they not chased him down Arbery wouldn’t have been in the position to defend himself.
He was not crying that night. I do not fall for it at all... what good are tears now especially if they are not falling for Ahmaud. TRAVIS stood over amhauds body as he was dying and and the last thing Ahmaud heard was TRAVIS calling him a N on the way out.
So Riddy Bryan says that and you believe it. There is no evidence of that word being used and he will not testify. Is there anyone else that is testifying that he Travis has ever used that word? Are there recordings or any other evidence I am not aware of?

Morals of the Story:
1. Don’t start nothin’ ….. won’t be nothing
2. Don’t bring a shot gun to a fist fight. Take the butt whooping instead of a life sentence in the state penitentiary.
3. It’s against the law to trap a person like a rat or willfully apprehend anyone against their wishes…. Especially when you haven’t seen them commit a crime.
4. It’s ok to run really fast when you jog. It’s ok to run faster if 2 men with firearms say they’ll blow your head off.
5. If you think someone is committing a crime, call the police and go inside your house. Have a coke and smile.
So let me get this straight, I can walk up to someone I think is suspicious, armed, act like a cop, act surprised when they resist or run, and say it was a defense?
That’s a bad precedent y’all are setting, really bad

nope, I would have listened and not try to steal his gun. And i'd be alive today. They called the police. They weren't going to murder him. WHo calls the police, videos it , and then goes to murder someone on video. Do you hear yoursleves. Make no sense.
@Hope4Tomorrow It's got nothing to do with race, racist. Why are you always bringing up race? You are the racists.
Poor baby, "I was in shock"... REALLY, Cinderella ??
When people hunt human beings they lose their right to live among us. The fact these men didn't plead guilty and throw themselves on the mercy of the court...that they defend their heinous actions...they are beyond rehabilitation. Throw away the key.
Best synopsis of the case I've heard
So well said🙌🏾
Facts!!!
Amongus? SUS. But yeah I absolutely agree with you. You can’t leave a car to chase somebody down
Thank you, so you admit that when the jogger grabbed the shotgun he gave up his right to live. See we agree!
He was attacking you because because you had chased him down like a wild animal. Then when you have him trapped ya come out brandishing a fckng shotgun. What did ya expect him ta do 🤷♂️
They expected to him to freeze and put his hands up.
@@crand20033 Which is exactly why civilians shouldn't be taking the law into their own hands. That is literally what the police are for.
@@crand20033 Why would he do that? Those are random people with guns. Not any figure of authority.
@@damontelewis8261 McMichael told jurors on Wednesday that while he and his father and co-defendant, Gregory McMichael, were chasing Arbery in their pickup truck, Arbery "turned and ran" when the younger McMichael told him the police were on their way.
@@crand20033 Unless you're a peace officer, you shouldn't be chasing anyone, unless a felony has been committed in your presence, and the suspect is attempting escape. What he told the jurors was a lie. I'm happy with the verdict. Well deserved.
He fired twice at close range, missed once, then shot a third time while Arbery was lying dying on the ground. Murder. Not only murder, but a nakedly racist lynch mob.
That is so insanely inaccurate smh
It's like yall not even trying...
What? He was shot/hit three times (wrist, armpit and chest). The 1st shot was already in the barrel. The 2nd and 3rd shots had to be chambered by Travis each time because he used a pump action Remington that held 6+1. I must have looked at a different live stream yesterday. Sorry.
@@terriewilliams8831 3 shots. First shot hit wrist and chest. Second missed, third hit armpit. Listen to the testimony!
"Please forget the first 4 minutes and 30 seconds I chased this young man around what's really important is I defend my self from a situation I created by being racist"
This is absolutely disgusting. Every second of this is disgusting. He was wasn't "passed away," he was killed, murdered, publicly executed. He was a man. He was a son. He was someone's family. When are we going to stop accepting the answer that a victim looked suspicious, so murderers can feel justified for approaching them, and then spinning it into self defense? When?
Hmm well spoken 👏🏾
My sentiments exactly! They chased this man down, taking videos of it like it was a sport and shot him dead. THEN tried to cover it up! They should get life in prison ...all of them.
I like what u said!!!! Good for u
He was a man who tried to take another man's gun away. He made a deadly mistake that took everything else he was away from him. You simply cannot take another person's weapon and expect them no to utilize deadly force. Period.
@@marco3dartist I am a legal gun owner, and I own different types of guns. I have chased a man, while coordinating with my friends, with a gun in my hand exactly zero times. Part of being a responsible gun own is not taunting & doing your best to not alarm people. You cannot exhibit willingness & intimidation of deadly force, and not expect someone to go into full on fight or flight.
This guy wants me to believe this is self defense? He passed him in an old truck holding a gun, and wants us to believe he took a gun to keep Arbury from the truck after they go to all that trouble to run him down! Seriously!
Really, seriously!
Write this down and tell your people: when someone points a gun at you whether it's police or a regular citizen, just stop. If you charge the guy with the gun and start trying to take it from him, it's likely you're going to die. Don't put your hand on other people's guns. AUP! Don't give me lip or I WILL get you in voice chat.
@@nirv Arbery ran and fought because he didn't want to go back to jail. He was also arrested in 2017 on charges that he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart store. Court records show he pleaded guilty to shoplifting. Arbery was on probation at the time of his death.

4:19 THAT'S A LIE! He was not deceased when you checked to see if he had a gun. There is video of when the Cop showed up, proving that Arbury was gasping for air. Not even the Cop came to check on him. Poor guy. No one deserves what he went through.
MS.aubery needs to go after the cops pension
Right the cop was only concerned about someone having the same boots as him. Not the young black man dying. I am crying.
I’m so glad you got life
i think the cop should also been charged and fired for not rendering him aid
Hi Ingrid are you Swedish?
Hearing Ahmaud gasping for air on that cops body camera is hard 🙁
He started crying when he thought about his son, never one tear shedded talking about Ahmaud, it’s clear he has no remorse in taking that young mans life. Their intent was clear when they started pursuing Ahmaud and drawing their guns. I’m not pulling my weapon unless I know without a shadow of a doubt that I’m going to use it. And I’m not chasing no one unless I witnessed them harming my family. Karma is REAL, now these racist monsters will be the prey in prison. They will stay in solitary confinement to avoid being hunted. Their torture will be extremely long. Justice was served. Rest easy Ahmaud 😇
Well said 👍
They probably won't be in PC long eventually they will have to go into general population you can't stay on PC the duration of your time. You committed a crime like everyone else in there so yall can all live together
Over the years I have learned a few important rules; a smart man knows how to get out of a risky situation but a wise man never gets into one.
I will adopt this saying in my life.
except this is neither a smart or wise man, this is a racist man
Agree, don’t put yourself in that position in the first place. 🤷🏿🤦🏿
And this guy is neither.
I agree but sadly there’s a lot of not so smart ones out there😑
If he hadn't have chased the young man down to start with, there wouldn't have been a life and death situation!
And if he wasn't trespassing none of this would have happened. Who goes for a "jog" 9 miles from their home.
@@noladee1 You don't chase people down for trespassing. You call the police. You cannot kill someone who is running in the opposite direction. Trespassing is a misdemeanor and not a capital offense.
@@noladee1 um someone that’s jogged 9 miles
He was thinking of his own son yet he had no problem taking someone else’s son away from them!
Struck by the thought of his son, yet five minutes ago, he discarded him for the closest gun.
"It was obvious that he was attacking me." Absolutely incredible statement.
The irony eh..?
He wasnt thinking about his son and the potentiality of his child being fatherless when he grabbed the shot gun to go hunt a man. So cut the malarkey.
You mean like Dog the bounty hunter?

They weren't hunting him. They went to do a citizens arrest when they should not have
The fear Ahmad probably felt in those minutes before his death makes my stomach turn.. I can’t imagine being hunted down like that 😭 how awful his mother having to listen to them try to criminalize her baby while she should be focused on grieving this nightmare tragedy - I wish her peace.. I can’t even start to imagine all the similar crimes that got covered up. This system needs to change.
This man clearly have no remorse, he's talking as though he's the victim, as though he had a right to treat that man that way! He's the monster he was chasing!!!
“System needs to change” they literally all got guilty on most counts lmao
@@jimlahey6958 hearts need changing too! This mess is originated from the heart of man, if we change our hearts and stop hating and destroying one another, that will automatically change the system!
Yeah but the system gave them life in prison?
@@jimlahey6958 Yea Jimbo!! What Trudi said
If someone is pointing a gun right at my chest I would automatically try to grab it and push it away too. Arbery was attempting to save his own life, yet died doing so. .
So... the defendent crying on the stand is acceptable, but for the victim's family it's a no no?
He is the defendant and a witness. The mom is a spectator not involved.
The Mom is the Most involved person in the courtroom. What was the judge's ruling? I bet he shut down such a indefensible claim that her crying should be stopped. Of everyone in that room, unless she is physically aggressive towards the defense, she has Every Right to sob. They killed her boy.
The history of white tears.
The police should search the family's house for the stolen property.
@@crand20033 search who’s family ? I hope you’re not talking about Ahmad’s 🥴
The Mother and Father of the victims is not allowed to make a sound without the defense lawyer making a issue of it. BUT THE MURDERS CAN CRY! A RECKONING IS COMING FOR THESE MURDERS!!
not to mention the fact that one of the defense lawyers tried to stop "black pastors" from distracting everyone in the courtroom while they were sitting there quietly saying nothing. Insanity.
Maybe in the next life, cuz surely these guys will be acquitted on the basis of being White...
Yeah, trying to control the outcome. Please don’t let the parents cry because then it makes Ahmad look human which is devastating to my case!
Not only.that the judge said the jury selection was tainted to exclude
black people from the jury
@@swakes it seems odd to have celebrities not related in the room though...
I jumped in front of him and blocked his path while armed with a shotgun and he suddenly attacked me for no reason!!
He looked suspicious while jogging. He had no evidence of him committing a crime.
Exactly
Don't forget he had his gun tracking him in a position he would be able to shoot him in the back
He probably was going to get in my truck when he ran on the passenger side while I'm standing outside of the truck with a shotgun and my dad's on the back of the truck with a shotgun
The ridiculousness of what he's saying, please 🤣
8:08 his lawyer was like OKAY STOP TALKING
He didn't stop when he shot him because Aubrey was fighting for his survival
A good Flee is better than a Bad stand any Day ... and Aubrey was a runner
@@hushmoney2058 sorry? You blaming Ahmaud? He was fleeing!

@@crand20033 if he was on probation that means he paid the time for the crime he committed.
So, help me to understand what does that have to do with this trial?
1:15 he’s talking about “when somebody’s got a weapon.” YOU had the weapon. YOUR weapon.
But a mindless, wild animal was trying to take it away from him.
@@gaetanomaximus8650 You must like looking in mirrors.
"Funny" how the shooters always get emotional on the stand but when they're not, they're fine 🤔
I sure hope the jury is paying attention to that… Not once did that man get emotional during this trial.
When he was on coo can he was emotional in the sense he was stressed to the max. That's only my opinion, but yeah he was feeling and showing a lot of emotion right after he killed Aubrey.
I would think being on the stand is stressful, no matter if you are guilty or innocent. You would actually have less sadness if you were innocent because you didn't do anything wrong to be sad over.
Kyle is free!
@@MoonLiteNite uhh… 🤔 nope. He tried.
Another thing you forgot is the guy's arm got shot right into his stomach now how is he got his hands on the gun if his hands are in front of the gun
No crying looking at a dead man like he just got his first deer. And was proud of it.
Yep he was proud at the scene of his prize.
An awesome way to describe
His ignorant racist Daddy told him he had no choice like he deserve an award for murdering an unarmed young black man! His son was a punk Ahmaud would have whooped his ass if he didn't have that shotgun. And he still was landing hits to his face after he shot him 3 times! I hope Ahmaud spirit haunts them ALL!!! Karma is real!!!
He called him the N word after he did it straight evil
Evil SOB
They better let that statement in tomorrow.
@@speakeasy2982 I agree, because Travis is a Heartless person.

@@antman6707 making up stories?. He did lean over him and call him " F....N...."
Tears for the life he once lived, not the one he took.
His life always sucked lol
the second most unbelieveable and heartless part of this is they offered no help to Ahmaud after shooting him
They didn't look at him as a human just a justifications for their abuse and mistreatment. Dehumanization people of color to justify murder or harmful effects of their behavior
No one helped him?
Try chasing someone with a gun and see if you're not charged with Aggravated Menacing and Reckless Endangerment. It is illegal to chase anyone with a gun, regardless of their color!
Amen, brother!
eh, if you are "black" that's a grey area. 💯
@Captain Obvious
The McMichaels have already admitted that Ahmaud Arbery did not steal anything.
I don't know anything about this case but... NO it is NOT illegal to chase someone with a gun.
Your statement about that being illegal is just plumb stupid.
There is NO law and never has been one that says it's illegal to chase someone with a gun.
It might not be a wise idea but it is not illegal.
Now chasing and menacing someone if you didn't have a legally justifiable reason to chase them would be illegal wether you have a gun or not. So don't chase someone if you don't have a valid legal reason to chase them.
But wether or not you have a gun has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with wether or not chasing the person is legal or illegal.
For instance of I see someone who called my wife ugly of Facebook and I see them in public and chase and threaten them for it then that would be illegal regardless of wether I have a gun or not because I did not have a legally valid reason to chase and apprehend him because calling someone ugly is not a crime.
But if I catch someone breaking into my garage I have every right in the world to chase him regardless of wether or not I have a gun on me. And he doesn't even have to really be guilty of breaking into my garage as long as I have a reasonable reason for BELIEVING he was breaking into my garage.
And I am NOT required to put my gun up before I chase and apprehend him... That is just plumb stupid.
Sorry... I don't know anything about this particular case but it just irritates me to see so many people making such ignorant comments about the law.
I suggest you order a book called "the law of self defense" and read it before you comment on self defense laws.
And also I suggest you study up on gun laws in America before you make ignorant comments about what is, and what isn't legal to do with your gun because the amount of ignorance in America over the right to self defense and gun laws is just staggering.
@@ibelieveitcauseiseentit9630
My goodness, you don't even have the sense that God gave a mule. Beavis, you don't even have to chase someone with a gun to get thrown in jail, you can simply brandish a gun and get thrown in jail. If chasing someone with a gun were legal, I would love to see the look on your face if you got chased with a gun and the police told you there's nothing they can do about it.
It's crazy how he can think that he was getting attacked when he's the one with the gun and was chasing that man down.🙄 so sickening
This case was going the same way as Zimmerman, except for the video. And this demon doesn’t know how to fake cry. Making one’s voice shakey and getting a Kleenex doesn’t make any tears come down. Only telling the truth and being truly remorseful will cause tears to fall.
He’s a cowardly racist smh
@Rifle Eyez You're totally wrong in your assessment and should change your thinking. If ever you find yourself in a similar situation, the outcome for you using their way of thinking would result in the same life sentence. Is it worth it?
He brought up his son to make himself cry. He was struggling hard to get those tears out. He wasn't thinking about his boy. I'm sure his attorney's said bring that up so they can feel sorry for him.
Yep
Let’s see who HIS SON grows up to be in society….With family like these Killers…🤦♂️🤷♂️🤔
Exactly
Such stupidity with guns is a very dangerous combo and ya gotta be careful in public cause some people are not aware of how dumb they are
Why did you take that gun out of the truck? Better yet why did you bring a gin in the beginning???🤷🏽♀️
Boooooooo not one person cried at the scene now you wanna cry GTFOH
Are you kidding me? I chase and surround a unarmed man with NO stolen goods on him and now I’m scared he will grab my gun and kill me yet I have it pulled on him because he visited an empty house under construction. If I was lawyer I would say..Why in the hell did you not call the police if you thought something was going on? This is not your job! Bye!!!
