re: Justice Department indicts 3 men on federal hate crime charges in death of Ahmaud Arbery

But the gun was fired only when AA rushed the shooter. That’s backed up by video.

So by this logic if someone tries to rob you with a gun and you rush them, that makes you the aggressor? Not a smart move maybe, but it’s not illegal.

Now you may say it’s not the same because Arbery committed a crime. But they never knew for sure if he actually did anything at the time they went to confront him. They can’t use the self defense argument if they sought him out with a gun already out.
