Color me unsurprised, he didn't jump out of that truck with a loaded shotgun to ask if he wanted hot coffee. Abery didn't even break into the house it was unfinished and unlocked so at worst, (if owner wanted charges pressed) he'd be up for simple trespass, he didn't vandalize or steal anything.So evidence came out in court that Travis pointed his gun first. Turns out there was some additional camera footage showing an angle we, the public, hadn't seen before and the defense lawyer admits in court. So basically the McMichael's escalated the use of deadly force first. Their only prayer is that they had a right to citizen's arrest which allowed them to use force first because they were stopping someone who they reasonably believed to have done a felony. Since they didn't witness anything directly, or even get info from someone else about one they are done for. They can't reasonably infer from someone pointing at Ahmaud running down the street that he committed a felony even if they knew there had been burglaries in the area previously. That is not a reasonable deduction to make at that moment. The defense is resting on convincing a jury that somehow that inference was reasonable for anyone to come to that conclusion and I just don't see that happening at all.
you with him at the time? how do you know he didnt vandalize or steal anything?Color me unsurprised, he didn't jump out of that truck with a loaded shotgun to ask if he wanted hot coffee.

How do I know?, the property owner reported nothing stolen or vandalized to the police. The goon squad didn't know anything either, but couldn't resist the idea of chasing down a negro old-school style, with a shotgun and a truck.you with him at the time? how do you know he didnt vandalize or steal anything?
Most importantly what did the killers know? Basically nothing. So your question is meaningless.you with him at the time? how do you know he didnt vandalize or steal anything?
pretty sure no one had trucks in the old school. because nothing was reported that is a fact that nothing happened? o i c ..i like how that works. it is fact in your eyes but not mine.How do I know?, the property owner reported nothing stolen or vandalized to the police.

Oh, look! The troll decided to grace us with his dipshittery once again. Don't feed it, he doesn't post with informed opinions, facts, or honesty.pretty sure no one had trucks in the old school. because nothing was reported that is a fact that nothing happened? o i c ..i like how that works. it is fact in your eyes but not mine.
once again you are talking like you are the person in the video, you can not know if anyone heard commands you can know what anyone's real intentions are in life. imo they are asking for issues if you are in a store waving a rifle around also looks like the rifle has jammed and he is clearing a jam or loading (i watched the video long ago) its just like reaching for a gun or other object when the police say don't do it don't reach for it..Bullshit.....bullshit....bullshit. Once again you use lies to justify your warped rantings. No store cameras captures John doing anything you said. In fact they found some white guy made a crank call to get police to the scene. He had his back turned to police on a phone call and did not hear any commands from them. Once again some white person makes a complaint and everyone assumes the black guy is guilty instead of properly assessing the situation. Charges were considered against the 911 called for making a false call.
He was NOT pointing the gun at people and children. He was NOT loading it. Once again black=guilty. Meanwhile KR ACTUALLY SHOT AND KILLED PEOPLE and was allowed to walk right by police when they were told he was a shooter.

As for Tamir Rice he was pointing the gun but no evidence he was pointing the toy gun at people. Video just shows him pointing it. Once again no assessment by police and they killed Tamir in <2 seconds. Meanwhile KR walked right by police after killing people and others in the crowd confirming but I guess the police didn't "look" like someone would commit a crime.

These are DIRECT comparisons to how police treat a white person with a gun vs black people. No assessment just shoot to kill. The white guy? We'll just let him slide by.
Only if you are blackI remember walking around inside houses under construction when I was kid. We would look for the metal slugs that were roughly the size of a quarter that would be laying around after some electrical work was done. I never knew I could be executed for that.
We know he was on the phone. Are you assuming he heard the commands? it's more likely he didn't, engaged in a phone call and having back turned.once again you are talking like you are the person in the video, you can not know if anyone heard commands you can know what anyone's real intentions are in life. imo they are asking for issues if you are in a store waving a rifle around also looks like the rifle has jammed and he is clearing a jam or loading (i watched the video long ago) its just like reaching for a gun or other object when the police say don't do it don't reach for it..

We know there is no evidence he pointed the gun at people
He was too far away to know what he was doing with the BB rifle. We can see he was swinging it up and down towards store shelves not at people.
The victim was black.
We know consideration was given to charge the caller with giving false information to the police.
These are the things I'm using to form an opinion
Why would you assume he had a mental problem? Nothing in his published bio indicated that. Does he look like he was ignoring orders from the police? Look at the video again. Does he even remotely look like he's setting up to shoot anyone?in your opinion do you think this person had a mental problem? i am not assuming anything you are the one that admits to assuming. in your opinion is he swinging the rifle while the commands are being said? YES they shot very quickly but it seems they always shoot quickly instead of getting shot when the gun moves or the hand goes toward the gun even you are shot. You were the one on the phone with him that is how you know he was on the phone? or maybe it was a documented call time that we can see?
id like to propose a uniform that would absorb the bullets so the police can let the criminal shoot them before they shoot them back. (of course this wouldn't save any of the missed shots but hey can justify the shooting right?)
only issue is getting around in such a suit might need to use a hoverboard type of technology.
"You could hear in the background he was gasping," Crawford Jr. told the newspaper. "I'm virtually listening to my kid taking his last breath."
Not sure why this is relevant when it is unlawful to kill in defense of property.you with him at the time? how do you know he didnt vandalize or steal anything?
well since we have never seen another person do this same behavior i could assume its not a normal situation. The only time i have seen a gun in someone's hand in public was when it is being used.Why would you assume he had a mental problem? Nothing in his published bio indicated that.

John was on the phone with father just before being murdered by the police. His father has told the story. Do you think he was lying?
the killing was in suppose to be in defense to the guy grabbing the gun nothing to do with what was stolen. Who grabs at a gun? i would have told them escort me to the police, call 911 ill stay right here not escalate to 1000.Not sure why this is relevant when it is unlawful to kill in defense of property.
I couldn't tell if he had his finger on the trigger. Shot too blurry. We can clearly see he never positioned himself to shoot anyone.well since we have never seen another person do this same behavior i could assume its not a normal situation. The only time i have seen a gun in someone's hand in public was when it is being used.
so its funny you did not reply to if he was swinging the rifle with a finger on /near the trigger while being commanded to put it down. (who carries a rifle in their hand with the finger near trigger swinging it around? (mentally ill people that's who! a normal carry would be in the center of gravity away from the trigger and pointed down) can we assume the police didn't whisper it.
Yes he looks like his rifle is jammed, he is loading / clearing it and hyping himself up for a mental breakdown shootout. its strange that you would say this is a non mental type of behavior is there a reason you would call this normal? do people usually post bio's that say they are psycho? (that really is silly to say what bio are we even referring to? )
imo it was a cry for help from his mental disorder this is not normal no matter how you try and act like it is.

He totes shoulda called 911 on his attackers while they had him at gunpoint!Oh yeah, those guys cornering a regular jogger are totally reasonable, lol.
A good guy with a gun outcome would've pulled his gun from his running shorts, commando rolled, and shot both assailants between the eyes, amirite?
Yea, NOTHING HAPPENED, the OWNER OF THE PROPERTY gave a statement to the police, zero damage and nothing missing. Abery was unarmed and not in possession of anything. Yea, I guess in the old school they used large horses.pretty sure no one had trucks in the old school. because nothing was reported that is a fact that nothing happened? o i c ..i like how that works. it is fact in your eyes but not mine.
This was a colored person in a mostly trump-white neighborhood, they followed him with two vehicles, struck him with one when he tried to change direction then cut him off and jumped out of the truck with a loaded shotgun pointed at his face. Probably figuring these goon's were going to shoot him anyway he might have indeed tried to grab the barrell of the gun. What you fail to seem to understand is no one should ever bee put in that position.the killing was in suppose to be in defense to the guy grabbing the gun nothing to do with what was stolen.
