Aggravated assault doesn't require the gun to be pointed in Georgia

Oh, come on. I'm not a fan of the hypocrisy via hypothetical claim, and I'll state up front he shouldn't have made it specific, but what he said is absolutely true for society/media as a whole. It's not even debatable.

You don’t because there is a good chance you get second degree murdered if you do.

Something tells me that either some or all of the 3 involved were under the influence of alcohol/drugs.

That was first degree murder in my opinion. They should have stayed their red neck asses at home and what’s up with that? The the 30 something year old son live with his daddy?

It requires a result or likely result in serious bodily injury, which case law has largely interpreted to mean pointing a gun in the direction of the victim.

If Arbery weren’t so sure that the white guys were out to get him, he might not have acted so suspiciously and might not have charged the guy with the gun.
If the white guys didn’t see black guys as instant crime suspects in their neighborhood, they wouldn’t jump to conclusions and give chase with guns in hand.
Only problem it's that statically speaking one of these assumptions is likely to be true and one is not. Can you figure out which?

There's a slowed, cleaned version of the video (removing the bouncing) where you can see Travis getting out of the truck, right as the truck first comes into frame, and as he does he turns to face Arbery and points his shotgun at him in a warning.
Just saw this video. I think this is accurate.

My comment was his reference to this board and these posters... In that aspect he still doesn't know what the frick he is talking about and neither do you...

Black guy was walking down our dead end street yesterday. There are no black families on our road. There are three houses under construction.
The dude was wearing workout gear like he was actually cooling off from a real jog.
I paid him no mind. Had he been running from the construction sites, I would have likely tried to get a better look for a description but he would have survived.
Stereotypes matter for sure. But my guy actually looked the part of a jogger. His skin didn’t matter once the jogger stereotype was met.
ETA: he may have been Hispanic looking back on it. I didn’t really think about it after cool off from running was established.

Completely irrelevant when you’re the one with the gun pointed at you.

yet had it been two blacks shooting each other or black killing a white none of you would give one single F.
We've discussed the disparity in the desire for the media to report black on white killings just as much as we've discussed the disparity on their reporting black on black killings.

a black dude getting killed by a white man like it’s earth shattering ground breaking news
We don't give a shitty rat's arse about the racial aspect of this beyond the attempt by the media to knee-jerk/falsely play it as "Oh look, it's another Jim Crow-era lynching" rather than what it actually was: some good ol' boys feeling they could take the law into their own hands because one was a retired LEO and then the 2nd DA trying to sweep this under the rug because of blue privilege.
Aside from that what we're discussing back and forth is who is the more-wrong party and this and speculating on what they will be convicted of.

Guy is jogging and has nothing (that I saw) in his pockets.
What still astounds me is that the Jogger made the decision to run directly to the two guys with guns and made a direct turn to the one with the shotgun.
Of all the directions he could have run, I still have yet to figure out why he chose that route. That single decision ended up costing him his life that day. Sad. Lots of strange decisions were made in this scenario.

But you don’t discuss those ither shootings so he’s right.
We do discuss them. We do not discuss them as deeply because there's usually little media-driven drama clouding the issue (which, when you get down to it, that attempt to de-cloud is what our debates really are).
