The
intentions of Travis McMichael, age 34, and his ex-cop Father Gregory
McMichael, age 64, on February 23, 2020, may have been honorable and
they may have sincerely believed that they were trying to make a
citizen's arrest of a criminal, but their first grievous error was
doing something that should have been left to REAL cops. Their second
error was presenting deadly force in a confrontation that should have
never occurred.
Ahmaud
Arbery, guilty of a crime or not, saw two dudes wielding weapons, the
senior McMichael holding a pistol while standing in the back of a pick-up truck parked
at the side of the road, with Travis McMichael standing in the road
in front of the jogging Arbery. Arbery attempts to avoid the Shotgun wielding moron
Travis McMichael by passing on the rights side of the parked truck.
You can see Travis then move in that direction to intercept Arbery in
front of the truck with his shotgun. I think Arbery, sensing his life
was threatened, grabbed the shotgun in a desperate attempt to save
his life, with Travis pulling the trigger, accidentally or on
purpose, for the first missing shot. Once Arbery grabbed the shotgun
with one hand and started landing fist-shots on the Travis' head with
the other, Travis is now faced with a fight for his own life; a fight
that includes the distinct possibility that if Arbery is able to
wrest the shotgun from his possession, it could then be used on him
by Arbery. A second missing shot is discharged from out of view. With
a relentless bevy of fist blows pounding his head, The idiot Travis
pulled the trigger for the 3rd time, intentionally or not,
dispatching Arbery to his maker and himself to a lengthy prison term
for involuntary manslaughter.
