Good questions... I kinda wanna leave it up to the court at this point.

At least they're getting paid for their time...

Where did you get the idea that I thought the gunmen should get off without any charges? Was it a post of mine earlier in this thread?

Well until you break it down, I'm afraid I can't help you.

"In this situation, what rules are you suggesting?  What do I have to do as the victim?  What do I have to wait for before I could defend myself?  Should I have When should the gunman have a legal right to shoot me without legal repercussions?"

That was my question, and you responded with an example with robbers and that you shouldn't try to defend yourself... so that seems to me that you're saying that's a situation where someone can shoot without repercussions.

But pretty much every post you made seemed to indicate to me that you didn't think the killers should face any consequences.  If I misunderstood you on either point, then feel free to clarify your position.

"That was my question, and you responded with an example with robbers and that you shouldn't try to defend yourself... so that seems to me that you're saying that's a situation where someone can shoot without repercussions."

>Well yeah, if Arbery thought his life was in danger and the gunmen meant to do him harm, he would be justified in resisting though, just like with a store clerk being robbed, it would be very inadvisable. If what the gunmen are saying is true, that they told him to 'stop' and that they 'wanted to ask questions', the gunmen didn't give him much reason to believe he was in danger aside from an armed pursuit. And of course that brings up more questions for me: are the gunmen being truthful about words exchanged? What was the pursuit like? How aggressive was it? Were the weapons immediately brandished? Were guns pointed at any point?

Questions with no answers.

Where does that land the gunmen? I don't know, that's a matter for lawyers. I'm mostly just focused on the video that we have and commenting/asking questions.

"But pretty much every post you made seemed to indicate to me that you didn't think the killers should face any consequences."

>The gunmen should face involuntary manslaughter? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer...

"If I misunderstood you on either point, then feel free to clarify your position."

>It never hurts to simply ask someone for their position. My position is a fluid one: it's subject to change as information comes in and I just think about it for a time... Ugh, I'm not a legal expert, let the damn courts deal with it. I'm growing tired of this topic...
