The employee would have to see the act committed. Georgia case law. Immediate knowledge doesn’t transfer to someone else. Thus the “immediate” in “immediate knowledge.”

Because the witness' reasonable suspicion couldn't go past herself and still be considered "immediate knowledge". Yes, the employee would have had to witnessed it himself because she did not.

"A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion."

- Georgia law for citizen's arrest

Why the distinction between something occurring within their presence OR within their immediate knowledge?

Your working definition of immediate knowledge seems to be specifically limited to things you've seen (occurred in your presence).

When you grab a man’s gun you tend to get shot. It’s almost Darwinism in real time.

And when you murder a person for no reason you rot in jail the rest of your life.

It's like Darwin in real time.

Case law, no matter how many times you post what you think the law is, has defined immediate knowledge as seeing it for yourself. Now post the law again and say “nu uh.”

When someone hits you with their car and another someone points a gun at you, you are allowed the opportunity to defend yourself.

It’s called Natural Law.

So, were they supposed to give him a free hit? In the escalation of it, I think they forgot to pause and allow him a turn.

For what? Arbery grabbed the shotgun. He literally tried to disarm a man holding a shotgun. It's on video.


You don't get to point a gun at an unarmed man posing no threat to you and then claim self defense when he tries to disarm you.

If someone hits you with their car, they’re no longer attempting a citizen’s arrest. It’s an assault.

At that point, the citizen’s arrest defense is over.

Yeah it was such a smart decision to go after the armed man with a gun that the genius running for his health got his arse killed. Please share more of your sterling survival advice dumbass.

When a complete stranger with no obvious legal authority to do so points a gun at you, it is entirely rational to expect him to shoot you. This isnt a police officer or a soldier pointing a gun at you while issue a command, where the expectation is that if you follow said commands you will not be harmed.

These guys who he didnt know from Adam had just chased him down, tried to hit him with their car and now their is a gun being pulled on him. The ONLY option at that point is to fight back because you are going to assume these people are trying to harm you.

If the only perceived alternative is being shot, you pick the option that allows for the possibility of not being shot.

Again, ANYONE in that scenario would rationally conclude those men were seeking to harm you BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY TRIED TO DO SO.

If I’m out in public and some guys point a gun at me and tell me to stop, I’m going to stop.

Unless I just stole some shite then I’m going to run.

Then you're an idiot, and the only "Darwin" winner in this discussion

You either run if you're far enough away to have a reasonable expectation that he'll miss, or you attempt to disarm him. Never fricking stand still if a complete stranger with no legal authority over you points a gun at you, especially one that has already demonstrated a willingness and intent to hurt you. You have to assume he intends to shoot you.

This is too dumb to reasonably respond to. So if an undercover cop points a gun at you how exactly do you know they have legal authority? You don’t dumbass but you know to stop if they have a gun.

If Arbery was as stupid as you it definitely explains how he got his arse shot though.

If an undercover cop points a gun at you and doesnt identify themselves as such, legally they are not a cop.

They either identify themselves or I get to assume they arent a cop, and I absolutely will

I’m guessing you have never actually done this or you would be dead. I hope you teach your kids to not stop when they are ordered to by an armed person. We definitely need you out of the gene pool.

Being dumb doesn’t mean people get to kill you with impunity. Share more of your dumbfrickingness.

It’s weird how there is such a strong correlation between being an idiot and getting shot though, isn’t it?

It’s not strange.
It’s also completely separate from legal jeopardy.

But you’re in this thread trying to dumbfrick it up more than it’s already dumbfricked.
