Entering residential property with the intent to steal is a felony in the state of Georgia.

What immediate knowledge did the McMichaels have of his intent?

This case is about what happened on the date of the incident. Talking about anything else is largely irrelevant.


And this thread is about people not jumping to conclusions because of things said outside of a courtroom, and because often times evidence isn't reported by the media. Talking about anything else is largely irrelevant.

Because in the other Arbery threads I've seen you post in you were rigidly opposed to the possibility, even though all signs pointed to there being a pretty damn good possibility that things were stolen based off the property owners actions alone.


Glad to see you making shite up.

I'm not sure, I'm waiting to see the trail before I decide.

Or you can just save me the time and tell me, since you clearly know.

Ok...so now tell us what you would do if you actually see someone rifling thru yours or a neighbors car or attempting to steal it.


The McMichaels did not see him rifling through their car or their neighbors car.

What I actually did when a car cased my cul de sac and then continued driving up and down each street in the subdivision was get in my car and get a description of their car and call the police. And then go back home.

The son did confront Arbery on English's property two weeks prior, and during that exchange, according to a neighbor, Arbery reached into his waistband and threatened the son.

That isn't true. Georgia law, at that time, allowed for citizens arrest for felonies that you thought were fleeing.


You can keep pretending there’s no case law on the requirements for a citizens arrest. We will remain in normal land.

So your argument is that case law on the requirements for a citizens arrest nullifies the Georgia law classifying entering a residence with the intent to steal?

Because all that post argues is that Georgia sees the act of entering a residence with the intent to steal as a felony.

So no one saw him come out of the house he shouldn't have been in?

So call the cops and tell them so random black guy was going in the home is the only option I guess...

No. I’m arguing that the case law establishes the conditions for a citizen’s arrest and what “direct knowledge” of a crime means. What it’s clear it does not mean is “a guy running by your house.”

And that's a decent comparison to someone digging through a car. He was somewhere he knew he shouldn't be.

Arbery was told he wasn't allowed on the property, then he continues to go on said property.

The McMichaels didn’t. Which wouldn’t have necessarily helped them. But it certainly doesn’t help them that they didn’t.

This is known as a “false choice” fallacy. Or as my grampa said, “Them ain’t the only two choices.”

He was just on his way to college classes, stop saying he was stealing.

So why are you quoting a line from me where I said that Georgia law sees entering a residence with the intent to steal as a felony?

Jesus Christ you're dense. Just because I'm arguing that it's possible one of the criteria of the citizen's arrest law was met, doesn't meant that I'm arguing that all the others are also met.

What are you arguing? That he might have been on the property prior so they could effect a citizen’s arrest? Or are you arguing the morality of it again?
