Hello, I reported this story and wanted to share some of the details for transparency. What exactly happened before Mr. Arbery was tragically killed was subject to speculation and was fueling division. I was curious about what the leaked videos really showed, and if there was a way to retrace what happened. I'll explain the timestamp reporting because it revealed an important detail for the first time - that Mr. Arbery was pursued by three men in two vehicles for close to 4 minutes. My colleague Richard Fausset, who is based in Georgia, obtained the 911 calls placed on Feb. 23. The calls had timestamps in the file names - an important detail. He also obtained the 911 text log for that day, and the times more or less lined up - a 10 second difference, which would be accounted for the dispatcher typing the notes. The timecode stamped into on the security footage was wrong, but what we see lined up with what we hear in the 911 audio - when the first 911 call was placed and ended, when that caller said Mr. Arbery began to run. This allowed us to correct the time on the security camera. The second 911 call also had a correct timestamp in the file name and at the end of that call, you can hear a police siren. The time the siren is heard matches the time in the security footage we see a police cruiser speeding past 219 Satilla Drive to the crime scene. So this established a continuity between the two 911 calls and the security video. But what about the video of the fatal shooting? In it, we hear three gunshot blasts. In between the first and second blast, Gregory McMichael is heard to faintly shout "Travis!" in the distance. This sounded very familiar to the "Travis!" that is screamed into the cellphone and recorded by the 911 call. I measured the audio waveforms, and lined up the audio for both, and the timing between the first shotgun blast and "Travis!" matched, as well as the siren we already lined up, and the duration of "Travis!". What's more, the police logs also showed that the second 911 call was placed from Travis McMichael's number, and was routed through a nearby cell tower. It lasted 4:46 and there was only one window in time that it could have been placed and matched those events. So this was certainly Gregory McMichael, Travis's father speaking to 911 as Mr. Arbery was killed. The police officer who sped to the scene took Gregory McMichael's testimony, and that allowed us to sketch what happened during those fateful four minutes. William "Roddie" Bryan and his attorney have also issued statements to the media, and that allowed us to fill in more details. Finally, breaking down the gruesome video frame by frame, and comparing it to the autopsy report, allowed us to understand what was happening more closely. The first shot was fired into Ahmaud Arbery's chest very quickly. The coroner declared him dead around 30 minutes after this. This is a tragic story and we hope our reporting provides some clarity on what happened. Our sympathies to the Arbery family. Malachy.
Yes, it is a tragic end, and an even more tragic cause of division amongst people. So much of the previous reporting and footage did not give a clear time frame and even speculated that it was not Arbery who was in the house that day. This is much clearer, but obviously still messy. My sympathies to his family.
I'd be careful with your wording at 3:01 Ahmaud Arbery did not "run off" as fast as your video depicts. Why speed up the video to make it look as if he's sprinting out the house? He was just jogging away.
Adam No, the DA knew it was horseshyte but she also knew the "No Laws for Black People" crowd was going to do exactly what they do. Tear down and destroy. And then complain they don't have anything nice.
@@lanajoliet6053 Um obviously you don't know anything. The black community was outraged that nothing was being done or being brought to anyone's attention. There was a murder and the whole country just turned their heads until the video got leaked.
Actually, it just took a while for a DA to react, as it shifted from two other districts. Government gears turn slowly and it's doubtful that the video had anything to do with it.
Well, three different DA:s looked the evidence and walked away. Media pressure is the only thing why this case even will go to court. State has zero percent chance to get a murder conviction.
“Took their testimony and let them go”, why not take them to station for further questioning. Context or not you don’t just let two armed guys go after finding someone dead on the ground.
He had no gun, he didn't steal anything. If someone runs at you with a shotgun and you think your only chance to survive is to grab it... you would. Unjustified murder. Leave policing to the cops.
I used to run in the city. I can TOTALLY see myself walking into an empty construction sight and just looking around out of curiosity. He isn't hurting ANYBODY OR ANYTHING! Those three cliwns just hunted him down and slaughtered him!! WTF?!!
....um...because they trying to act as tho these men are being good American citizens that are crime watching for the community. " Oh...They stop the black man from stealing from the construction site because he was case(INg)". As the police accept the testimoney.
From the video that I have seen for cops to initially let them go would seem reasonable. Remember, Ahmaud went after their guns when they were trying to detain him and that made it a life and death situation and a self defense. From my understanding this ain't some KKK hunting down black folks but incompetent gun nuts trying to detain someone that was acting suspicious at gun point. I don't have the whole story but its not all black and white.
Clearly a case of self defense... no other way to look at it. To say Arbery was "jogging" and not fleeing is just painting a picture to insight hate amongst the people
The 4 fellows who commented above me either don't know the laws or are in denial. Misdemeanor trespassing doesn't rise to citizen's arrest stipulations. Plus they didn't catch him "red handed" at the property of his "crime", neither can they legitimately chase &attempt to stop someone not posing a danger or actively committing a crime. Deadly force is beyond the focus of citizen's arrest too. The McMichaels appointed themselves posse, broke some technical rules, and lost control of the situation. They put themselves into a conflict they escalated, they had the guns, they did the chasing while sidestepping rules,...that's why that state brought charges.
@@bfadlia They shoot "certain" people just for having a phone in their hands too...or nothing at all in many cases. It's..just.. there are no words to express the level of anger and sadness it brings to the surface within me. It's so, so wrong. We are in such a bad place in this country.
Yeah lets arrest the guy who tries to stop a trespasser, trespassing is illegal and a citizens arrest was completely valid, you're just defending him because you're black.
@@secreteobsession3584 yes, her the family member's name is Jessica McMichael. Jessica's brother is Travis and her daddy is Gregory. She posted Ahmaud Arbery's picture of his dead body on FB, stating justice was served. This tells you everything you need to know about those racist demons.
He knew exactly why they were chasing him, which is why he kept running. He had no business being in that house. Having said that, they had no right to confront him with weapons and shooting him.
Dan Becker actually he has no business in the house, but is it bad thing to walk in construction area ? I don’t think it’s a crime anywhere but too bad the assumption he’s black he must be a robber these two guys fell for. I still don’t get the part where they chase and shot when they don’t have a license for that. But why would the guy run if he didn’t do anything? The act of running made him more suspicious. Guys I’m thinking loud I’m trying to reach to a conclusion nothing more.
@@DeesBees85 Someones home, lmao. So chance him down in a pick up truck with a shotgun and 357 magnum, which he has no business doing in the first place. Whats worse is he is a excop so he KNEW he was breaking the law and still did it anyway
The guy who shot him. Walked away from him like he just shot an animal! This was somebody’s son, friend, brother!!! He stole nothing!!! I hope these guys wrought in jail!
He shot at him before Ahmaud grabbed the shot gun, it's obvious and clear from the video. That was the first shot we hear. Having been relentlessly pursued by men with guns, with one finally blocking your path while holding a shot gun, Ahmaud reacts as anyone in this situation would - he makes a desperate attempt to fight for his life by disarming his aggressor. What were his other options? To run keep running? That hasn't been working. And now it's perfectly reasonable for him to assume that should he choose to run away, he could be shot in the back. This unarmed man, who at no point showed a weapon, who at no point was a threat to them in any way whatsoever, is left with no other option. He's shot again. He is severely injured now and weakened. At this point, McMichael is in every position to create distance between himself and Ahmaud. He is intact, able-bodied and still holding his rifle. At the very least, he could have flung his rifle away from both of them and tackled Ahmaud to the ground. That is, if he had any interest in preserving his Ahmaud's life. But he didn't. He never did, from the very beginning. And so he shoots him yet again, and this is the fatal shot. Watch his body language as he walks away after killing him. It's unhurried, casual. He is not even winded. He doesn't run back to see if his victim is alive, if he's ok, if there's any chance of saving him after this "citizens arrest" goes horribly wrong. He does not care. There is no concern. There never was.
It is a really important point to bear in mind that Arberry was shot before he attempted to grab the gun as there can be no justifiable self defense case made if someone has chased and shot someone who was defenseless and not threatening them. This was murder and a racist lynching, pure and simple. It is as well justice has been served in this case, that one feared it might not speaks volumes for the problems of justice black people face in America, but the wider issues of police corruption and attempts to cover up this crime, why Arberry was left dying while the police casually chatted with and failed to apprehend the people who shot him and the issue of white suprematist violence remain.
Well the father himself said that his son had to shoot Arbery "in his d**n chest" (in his discussion with the police). So they did not at all regret the murder, and were obviously expecting to be found not guilty. But God is good and He gave a symbolic victory!
@joolenka you nailed it. Very well-written account(s) of Arbery's murder. Now, the shooter is guilty on all charges since he's the one that actually shot the victim. His father is guilty on all but one count, since the father of the murderer did not shoot the victim. Finally, "Roddie" thought he would get-off being accountable in this murder since he was the director of the recording and submitted the recording. This is where God comes in at...the recording of the murder was leaked and thanks to social media, the recording of the murder was shared over and over. The relentlessness of humans who had watched the recording of the murder knew this murder needed the attention from the right people who represents true justice. The irony in all this, thanks to one of the three stooges, "Roddie," recorded their doom. Consequently, The STATE of GEORGIA delivered JUSTICE! #greatpostjoolenka
Your account of what happened is exactly what the video showed. It was murder, clear and simple. Travis pointed his gun at Ahmaud who then ran to the other side of the truck to avoid him. Yet Travis moved to the front of the car to get a clearer view of Ahmaud who was obviously trying to continue running away from them. That move to the front, as the prosecutor explained in the closing, could not have been to avoid Ahmaud, it was to confront him. He moved closer, not further away, from Ahmaud. That was a move of an aggressor, not a defensive move. Ahmaud would have seen him move to the new position with the gun in his hand, likely still pointing at him. What did that tell Ahmaud? We heard the first shot as Ahmaud emerged in front of the truck, towards Travis. It’s fight or flight at this point. Remember, he had been running away from them for 5 minutes, exhaustion must be kicking in. Roddie Bryan said in the clip of his interview with the police straight after the incident that Ahmaud was getting tired running, who wouldn’t? Exhaustion meant fight was better than flight and who’s to say flight would not result in being shot in the back? Travis was certainly poised to be able to do that. Why did he move towards Ahmaud rather than further away from him if not to get a clearer shot? He was angry that Ahmaud would not obey his order to stop and was determined to impose his will on the poor guy who had no obligation to obey any order from him. How could this be self defense? The only one able to claim self defense, had he lived, was Ahmaud. Very clearly, Travis was the aggressor, and in many ways, he escalated the situation instead of backing away. Ahmaud posed no threat to him so there was no reason to defend himself from Ahmaud. Rather, he created reason for Ahmaud to need to defend himself from him. We thank the jury for doing a great job, God bless them!
@chucky ! Stop trolling. They chased him back and forth down the roads til he was exhausted like they were hunting him and when he ran out of energy they shot him down in a modern lynching. The best news we've gotten is the recent news that the cameraman is also being charged with murder now for helping with the hunting process and lynching even if he didn't shoot.
@chucky ! so no problem with the men in the trucks chasing him and cutting him off threatening him with weapons? You're cool with all that. The problem is the unarmed man being chased?
There was an on going trespassing of a guy who looked the same, so it was a justified call..they were trying to catch a trespasser that has done it multiple times.
damon clayton that’s not true. The man was described as a lightskin black male with dreaded hair. Unless u think all black ppl look the same, that’s not even close to Ahmauds description
@Melissa Justice -Todd Are you seriously asking why a jogger was running? Arbery dosen't need to justify his work-out routine to the McMichaels. And the McMichaels came AFTER him with guns. The real question you should be asking is "why didn't the McMichaels just let the police handle the matter?"
From what I understand the first shot would have caused his death eventually. It can take time to bleed out or for the heart to stop. He was fighting for his life.
@@rayross997 What? how did the first shot cause his death? and what are you trying to say haha XD? he clearly falls after the second shot. ''He was fighting for his life'' as the comment above was stating. Clown
@@TH-camr1A2B Zimmerman was trying to see which way a person suspected of stealing from the neighborhood was going for the police. The person hid, surprised Zimmerman as he approached, then attacked. Just like Zimmerman, McMichaels never did anything illegal. It was the attacks that were. Keeping your hands off people should be taught in school. Appearantly blacks teach their kids something different. Map not needed. The mapped out video like this one would also be useless. This video is blatantly misleading.
This isn't a problem with open carrying. This is a problem with people not understanding the law and what happened in this situation. When you exit the vehicle with the weapon that the reading you are brandishing the weapon and also have committed assault. Once you assault the person that gives them the right to defend themselves
How is it "unclear if this is Arbery", referring to the man in the house in security camera videos? Did Arbery have long hair and a tattoo covering his entire upper left arm? If yes then its probably him. If no then its definitely not him.
@adiamondsmile THEN MAYBE TELL THEM TO REPORT IT WHEN THE SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO CAME OUT. THEY ALREADY HAVE HIS DEAD BODY SO WHY NOT DISMISS IF IT WAS OR WASNT HIM, RIGHT AWAY INSTEAD OF LETTING GROUPS WITH ULTERIOR MOTIVES USE IT TO DEBATE AND PUSH THEIR AGENDA? LAZY REPORTING, AND YOURE A DUMB DUMB THAT ALLOWS THIS
@@seanfox4551 I think you're probably right, but we don't know and people need to stop acting like they do know. Why was he running towards two guys with guns instead of away from them? Why did he grab the shotgun the one guy had? Did he grab the shotgun before the first shot? We can't tell because they were both behind the car. If he was just plain shot then yes, it was murder. If he was grabbing the shotgun before the first shot then no, it wasn't murder, it was self defense. These are a lot of simple questions that we just don't know the answer to and if it weren't a black man being shot by a white man, no one would be jumping to conclusions but people are because they want it to be a race thing. I mean FFS, people are calling for the arrest of the person who filmed what was happening from an unrelated car. If that person had been black, people would be cheering him but because he's white, they want him arrested? "We don't know" is the truth, and all these people out for blood are just as bad as the man who shot Arbery. They want two dead white men without knowing what happened, without knowing if it was justified. They don't care. How many of these people marching in the streets do you think are going to watch the trial? Read the witness statements? The police reports? The interrogations? If anyone wants "justice" only for their race and not just plain justice for everyone, they need to take a good look at themselves and reevaluate their thinking.
What sickens me about this is that police are releasing videos of his history of being arrest I don't know what they're Maltese and agenda is but he has nothing to do with him being shot jogging is like the picture and image of him being a bad person that he robs TVs and things like just define those red mix for killing him I'm sorry they have footage he didn't take nothing and I should have waited until the police dealt with the situation
The person recording gave an interview trying to say he was an innocent bystander. He was fully involved here. Why is he not being charged as an accomplice?
@@Welkon1 so you just ignored this whole video huh they'd been chasing him for at least 5 min...fight or flight...he tried flight...they boxed him in...next move is fight...period...
Welkon Not sure if you paid attention but when he charged at the man with the shotgun, he’d already been shot like what was he supposed to do? He was fighting for his life.
See this report makes me even more mad. Knowing that they hid this crime, they let them go and kept the video for months makes me so mad. They stalked this man for 4mins and killed him. That man killed him and walked away didn't say oh my God, let me see if he is ok. Nothing! No compassion for human rights shot that black man like he was a deer in the woods. Like a sport. Would they have chased that white couple or kids walking in that property that wasn't theirs and shot them? He fought for his life. R.i.p. Ahmad
I agree there was no compassion for human life after the man was killed. Also, not even taking them down to the station was bad, and suggests straight up corruption. The problem is that Ahmaud just kept running which suggested to them that he was doing so for a reason, and attacking the gunman by punching him in the head on video and trying to take the gun from him was pretty much self defense at that point, from both perspectives. You can't bring a fist to a gunfight, regardless of anything else.
@@rei_cirith the DA was aware of it. The killer leaked to the Media thinking it would help his case. But it just got everybody else that knew tge truth in trouble.
It's not abnormal for people involved in self defense shootings to be questioned on the scene and then released. Especially when there is multiple witnesses and video evidence of the shooting. Also there's not much you can do for first aid after someone has been shot twice in the chest from close range with a shotgun. The pellets are dispersed and will enter, tear through the lungs, and even exit the back side of the body... causing massive blood loss and filling the lungs and intra-abdominal space. Never mind the likely heart damage. The proper follow up actions taught are to check for weapons and then provide any possible first aid. It would have been apparent in flipping him over there was nothing that could be done for him. And think about it, if it were you in your final moments would you want to be left alone or die with the people who just shot you leaning over you pointlessly pressing down on your chest? Also, he didn't start running when he saw people pursuing him with guns. He began running as he was exiting the house under construction...likely because he heard or saw the unarmed guy walking up on his cellphone talking to 911. If you watch the video released by the guardian of another interaction with the police where they attempted to taze him, he was displaying a serious attitude problem and a dangerous and threatening behavior in his interaction with even the police. Firearms are distance weapons, if you run up into someone's personal space while they're holding one, and especially if you attempt to snatch the weapon from them: you can expect that person to shoot you in self defense.
It's simply amazing he took that first shot, and fought period, none the less, how hard and how well, 3 shots, to the upper body, and still get tried running last minute. I feel so horrible for that man, his family and friends, and America as a whole. The change will never start at the top, it's going to need to come from the people, the masses.
@@DavidThomas-me6pi he didn't attack anyone, man. I suppose you think you are making some witty reply, but your flippant response about a guy getting hunted down and killed speaks for itself.
To those who claim Arbery caused his demise by charging, note that he made several attempts to get away from these predators and was eventually surrounded. He fought for his life.
@@0flip ? Could you clear this up for all the 6 year olds in the room. Do you feel they were justified or not killing an unarmed man. They had no spine just fear and guns.
@@dwhite711 When he said "joggers gonna jog" know that "joggers" is internet slang for the N word. So re-frame his quote to "N------ gonna N--" and that should tell you all you need to know about his opinion on the matter.
Philipp well when you’re being chased it’s kinda hard to think at the moment and since they stopped he mind as well fought because they could’ve shot him any way so he was dead the whole time
This is true they were giving the outside public a chance to have street justice but no we didn't even get that right if we can't put the trash away how can we expect elected people to they depend on us we cant depend on them
America is like a wild animal in the final days of its life and its all because of the filthy stinking Rothschild's central banking cartel. Yup I said It!
if you arrest you have a window of time in which to charge You can investigate for years if you want to Once someone is arrested they will typically stop talking except through their lawyer Suspects tend to want to tell their story, indictees tend to shut up
Hello, I just want to say thank you and great job breaking the video down for a lot of people like myself. And thank you for your time and patience and work!
Imagine if we had no camera. This makes me question so many cases we’ve heard that that someone who died in custody or what not wasnt “ complying or had a gun “ blah blah with out footage we would never know. I don’t trust the words of a cop anymore.
@@GrumpyStormtrooper Why was he running from two pick up trucks of big bearded guys with guns in two pick up trucks driving up yelling stop! We need to talk?! Why do you have a gated community miss Karen?
I don't live in America and I found recent events just shocking!!! The worst thing I wonder if these events would have been taken seriously if they weren't filmed and gone viral?! I mean what would have happened? Left unnoticed and forgotten about? Just makes you wonder how many other incidents have gone unnoticed because they were not filmed by a passerby. Thank god this was filmed and went viral!
The majority of cases like this would not end up with the murderers being charged. The government doesn't care about its people, especially poc. If this wasn't recorded, it would not have been taken seriously by law enforcement. It's horrible.
Probably hurt from all the punches he took, it's completely different shooting at someone while you're unharmed and when you're hurt, the adrenaline inhibits some of your senses.
As a young man around 30 years old I once found it interesting and cool to see the inside of a construction project at night. No harm done. This poor kid was very unfortunate.
Very normal thing. Construction is so interesting. And from what I can see, the owner didn't protect the site at all. And it's obvious that none of the people that came to look at the house had any bad intentions as nothing was ever taken from the site
you all are so full of crap. "Oh. he was interested in architecture." Was he "jogging" or "exploring the fine art of house building'" Such a stretch. It was also just as possible that he was a dirt bag criminal looking to steal. I don't care if you all trespasssed on construction sites. You are all wrong. You have no business on someone else's property. Ever.
These two weren’t defending their property . They left their home with guns to chase this young man down and shoot him . Not life or death they could of stayed at their own house and let the police sort everything out . They went looking for trouble and ended up doing murder . Lock them up !
@@elcajondavid1 Stalking Laws In most states, stalking laws pertain to the relatively new crime involving a clear pattern of conduct in which the offender follows, harasses, or threatens another person, putting that person in fear for his or her safety. An individual may be charged with stalking regardless of any pre-existing relationship with the victim.
@@EraserTraceur He was being chased by two white men with guns... which was not his fault, and he is allowed outside like any human person. You're a sick person...
The reason they turned him over to ‘check for weapons’ is because any semblance of a weapon on Arbery would be their ‘get out of jail free’ card. There is no indication they turned him over to administer CPR/first aid. What else would be the point of turning over a deceased individual?
Bamm-Bamm Rubble and being the coward that he is, instead of giving the gun to pops and fighting him head on, he chose to shoot an unarmed black man. Probably because he thought he could get away with it.
Marquis Simmons, I was imagining the same thing, he could have tossed up that gun to pops. Sooo true! Soooo True! But you know, this thing was pre-planned. I'm sure that's going to come out. Travis called 911 two weeks before the shooting. His voice was shaky and scared. He said that the man could have been reaching for a gun in his back pocket. But you know he could have been reaching for a cell phone. The operator asked, are you ok? Because Travis was so shooken up. He described the guy as a light skinned black man. It wasn't Arbery. So does Travis get scared of white people and kids at the house? Reaching in their back pocket? Does Travis get scared at the grocery store when a black man reaches in his back pocket for his cell phone? Nope. Travis was recording his, "fear" on a 911 call so that when he finally shot the light skinned black man he could say, see I told you that I was scared of him because he could have had a gun. That's why I got trigger happy and shot him. But that wasn't going to work since Arbery was a different man.
Although I believe in rehabilitation of criminals sometimes some people do not deserve it. Mostly I’m against the death penalty but after watching that video, the men who did this deserve death. It’s easy for many of us to say that everyone deserves a second chance but our sons and daughters haven’t been brutally murdered.
I remember as a preteen my brother and I, sometimes w friends sometimes not, would hang out at construction sites around our neighborhood. We never damaged anything. The sites were fascinating to us. I can't imagine losing my life for hanging out at a construction site. Rest peacefully Amaud. You will get justice.
@@ryanpmcguire why would you stop for people you don't know. You mean if two random guys with guns shouted at you to stop right there, you would just stop? Thats the dumbest thing I ever heard. Two men in a truck with guns are chasing you and you think they plan to be friendly towards you? They would have looked like the klu klux clan to him, He was running for his life and then decided to fight for it and that was mistake. He probably figured since it was a shotgun, he could disarm the guy before he could shoot it, and that was a mistake.
@@ryanpmcguire I am sure you would hold the same opinion if the races were reversed. I am sure that if a black man pointed a gun at a white you would be saying the same thing. Arbery tried to run away from his aggressors not attack them. Watch the video first before commenting.
That house has a documented history of all kinds of trespassers (kids, couples, etc) trespassing throughout the day and throughout the night? All the documented (the video and calls to police) trespassing confirmed by the home owner that no property was ever stolen and no property damage was inflicted. Just like where I live, people tend to curious or nosy about construction or new construction and tend to loiter or trespass on the grounds of construction, just to see what is going on both outside and inside.
“Some whites” feel he should be killed for that, Idk if a White jogger stops in checks out a neighborhood construction I don’t think they would feel the same.
The neighbors were on alert, and $2,500 of fishing equipment had been taken from that property. The owner did not report it to the police but the neighbor who called 911 knew.
White Mothership what the f&@£ are u talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣? Did u reread what you wrote? 95% of it makes no sense and the other 5% is propaganda and false stats🤨
KiwiGhost it is proven that he didn’t steal anything and you’re disgusting to think that even if he was trespassing that he deserved to be hunted down and killed like an animal.
I don't know how many times I've walked into a house under construction when I was younger just to see what it looked like inside. And yes I've even gone back into that same house more than once to see its growth.. Did you ever go inside a house under construction just to have a peek?
We always played as children inside such houses. And i loved to go on my own when i was a teen to wander around and dream that i would live one day in such a mansion cause our house was small..
@@gala_pi oddly enough i was thinking the same thing.as a kid 50 years or more ago we used to have great times playing in houses being built on an estate at the back of us on sundays and public holidays when the builders wernt there! i came to the uk from ireland when i was 5 or so but where i come from in cork its still very rural.even today you often find strangers or curious locals stopping and having a look at new buildings being built or remembering what used to be their years ago its no biggie most rural folk all over the world would say the same.also as a young teen and slightly older certain places attract or become meeting points weve all hung out as a teen at an abandoned factory or warehouse or building being built they have a certain mystery when you are young.the poor lad was probably thinking was that done last time i passed? lets have a look inside and see how far theyve got since last time.nothing suspicious just curiosity! we all do it! at the moment for example cars pass very very slowly down our street sometimes stopping and people getting out and wandering up my neighbours lawn at all hours! nothing dodgy theyve come to see his xmas lights which he decorated his house with early and stand out a mile! people are having a look up close no doubt to get ideas for their own decorations! lets be real here if anyone of any colour was pursued down the road by pick ups full of red necks armed with guns in the rural usa wed all do exactly what he did and run for our lives! weve all grown up on movies like deliverance which may not be true but if you are alone on a country road pursued by maniacs sure seems to be!as far as the victim was concerned it seemed to be a stereotype lynch party and he was rightly in fear of his life! cops are to blame too! normally in the uk they tell callers well keep him in sight but dont go near him or try to stop him just report where he goes.dreadful awful preventable tragedy.

I think the police chief and some other cops and one of the the DA’s have been charged for this incident and some other corrupt sketchy stuff. I’m not sure if the cop on screen was, but yeah, a lot of people are going down for this “lynching”.
Well captain hindsight, beacuse at the time they only had the testimony of the people who tried to make the "citizens arrest" to go by. This video that you watched probably involved countless hours of research and cross referencing evidence and even then the details of the case are hazy.
@@adamurmos9270 I would absolutely like to know what you think is so hazy about the case? You gotta be fking kidding me There's only one thing that you need to see clearly is that 3 pos white men just went out there and started hunting down a black man like he was a fking animal so they could killed him And that whole Fking Pitiful State Gvmt City DA Police and the Public tried to cover it up Until Video Man start getting haunted in his sleep by guilty nightmares that he absolutely deserved
I SAW THE VIDEO OF AUBREY VIOLENTLY BEATING A OLDER WHITE MAN __THEN TAKE THE RIFLE HIS SON HAD ON HIM WHILE THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE SHERRIFF AND TAKE THE RIFFLE AND FIGHT TO PULL IT DOWN TO HIS LEG TO SHOT IT TO AVOID PROCECUTION _-------
@@pewishjrivilege896 Well they killed one black guy and now three are going down for it, not clever is it? White people trespassed into that building also and nothing happened to them
@@pewishjrivilege896 he wasn't trespassing in their home, they weren't security guards. They had reported the incident, they didn't see him take or carry anything that should've been the end but not only do they try to stop him where they had no rights to, they did so while armed with guns and got him killed in the process, even if you think it makes sense to try and stop him, the very fact he took nothing and they got him killed means they have to take responsibility for their action. There's really no complexity to this case apart from the fact that racist white people want to feel safe so they want to be able to shoot any black person they feel like.
Bamm-Bamm Rubble, He was a trespasser like the whites and the kids. The house was used as a drama station to create a story line of burglary and armed trespassers so that they had an excuse to chase down and lynch a black man. Boom, boom, beginning of story. In my opinion there is evidence that this thing was pre-meditated and that's what's going to come out next. Just wait and see.
@@bonnielee7134 "The house was used as a drama station to create a story line of burglary and armed trespassers so that they had an excuse to chase down and lynch a black man" You people are literally not living in reality. You are insane.
@@sophiaperennis2360 Well considering people are free to think and be suspicious about Ahmaud Arbery, it only makes sense the same is done against those who killed him.
Personally, I love checking out construction sites, I know it is usually trespassing, but it doesn't make you a thief to be curious about something like that. He didn't deserve to die, RIP
In my Country it is the norm to look around these types of building bt then again we don't have guns, the least you will get is get out of here by a security guard.
According to the family's attorney, Ahmaud was starting an apprenticeship to become an electrician and was at the out construction house to observe the wiring, which is common for electricians to do. But even if he was doing something illegal it doesn't justify his murder
@@billk123 nope. Before the last shot when they come into frame again you can see ahmauds shirt is bloody. Also maybe dont chase someone down with guns, and escalate the situation to the point they feel the need to defend themselves?
Trinity Kemp to be honest if I was him I’d stop and scream something along the lines of “don’t shoot me” plus if you watch you can see him lunging himself at the dude with the pump action.
Eaglehero obviously, as confused and scared he would be with his life on the line, he was trying to disarm the man. People react to situations differently so your point is gonna be false you can't disprove someone's reasonings because you would act differently. "Stop and scream" would perhaps be amongst one of the stupidest things you can do if you were in his position and thought the same as what he did. If you see what you think are killers (2 people pointing a gun at you) you would stand and scream "don't shoot me"?
@@johngoodman4829 , for this type of policemen? Yeah, there are 3 possibilities: 1) they are possessed by demons / 2) they have on their blood line some ancestors that owned plantations and were bad and cruel masters for their slaves/ 3) they are some how from Hitler's blood line.
He must of seen inside of the construction house but he sees like having a time alone & calmly walking & watching the house, just because he was inside of the house that dosen't mean he is doing something bad & also they don't have the rights to take a human being's life
He was chased to his death. “If you wanted to talk” why do you need a shotgun for that? Now what if he didn’t engage them and kept running, he probably would’ve still died. I don’t think there was anything else he could do but to fight for his life. They knew what they’re were doing. So whoever sees this as justifiable is sick. who chases someone for 4 mins trying to “talk”. And they had guns loaded. Death penalty.
My opinion is they think he have a gun and they think ahmaud make a crime like stealing or something and follow him and when the scene rolling the victim dont know what to do because suspect in front of him and show the gun to him and think he gonna get shot and trying to take a gun and get shot. The suspect realize he dont have gun and get paranoia. Or maybe they just hate black guy
@@Daniela-ij4fr I have seen that every time two American citizens come across each other, one is tempted to believe that they are going to become friends, but that rarely is the case. Why are Americans so hostile of each other is beyond me to understand. In the course of our lives, we find people that later we know we have to be careful about them, but in the Americans there is some kind of lack of confidence in the others.
I don't know, but I guess the best way to run away from cars would be going for the woods? And if you want to talk with someone suspect of commiting a crime, wouldn't you bring protection? And if you're running, why would you stop and trespass?
@@LaurieChristina Yeah honestly, to say "it's unclear if this was Arbery (2:43) has a racist undertone as though all Black folks look alike? That man also had hair unlike Ahmaud.
Imagine being hunted with a truck, car and guns on you for blocks and running for your life, then one of your hunters gets out of his vehicle and points a shogun at you...Let that set in for a moment...
@Z Z Right! That would be crazy. And you know those kids would’ve ran too. Sometimes a comparison is needed cause the compassion towards men of color has been diminished
If dude was scared he would have ran away from the truck. At one point he his seen jogging and began to curiously look at a construction aight of a house. Then he continues his jog. Others thought he was running. It wasn't until he was approached by the two white males in the truck that he began to run. Now, what they said to him in the first contact with Aubry. He is fighting though, that is what is confusing. And he began to runaway. What did they say to him first? Whatever they said to him made him runaway and what did Aubry run away?
@@samuelperez8214 My guess is he was running from the guns they had in hand. Anyone would run especially if you’re African American and know the climate the US was in with former president Trump
@@sznd yes, that's clear in the video. But if was scared he would have ran away or stopped jogging. But he running at that point. So whatever President Trump had this in this case, it did not stop Aubry from going heads up with a dude with a shotgun. Not murder but involuntary manslaughter. Almost self defense, though! I don't know the outcome of this case at all I'm following on other stories like this right now.
@@TRC98 Lying must be your family tradition. White people, kids walked into that same building, the owner said no one took anything, the black guy is dead, the whites are alive.
So sorry that you had to feel that way Erica. I thought I was emotionally strong, but this video brutally exposed my weakness. I literally broke down. Why did the McMichaels do this?
I have watched the raw footage of Roddy Bryan's video (with and without NYT commentary) countless times. I know this case inside and out. It is clearly apparent, to anyone who is not willfully trying not to see it, that there is a mere *one second* between the time when Arbery is running along the right side of the truck, and the time when he is in front of the truck and Greg McMichael blasts him with his gun. McMichael basically blasted Arbery the *instant* he emerged from the side of the truck, which means that he was waiting for him to emerge, with his gun pointed in the area where he would emerge--ready to blast away. There is no way whatsoever anything transpired in that one second to suddenly turn the situation into one where McMichael would have a need to defend himself. Arbery wasn't even close enough to touch him when that first shot was fired. There's no self-defense claim here for the McMichaels. None whatsoever. Believe me--the prosecutors have looked at the possibilility of self-defense, and concluded there is no viable claim, which is why they are going ahead and prosecuting the McMichaels for MURDER.
Ahmaud was hunted down and shot like an animal! I mean, who do those men think they are following him, cornering him and murdering him just for trespassing? Nothing justifies the brutality that Ahmaud was put through. I hope those men get the maximum sentence in jail for what they have done and I hope the guilt of them murdering a man haunts them for the rest of their lives....
I live in a neighborhood that’s under construction and I go in houses all the time to see what cabinet colors they picked and what tile and all that hgtv stuff. I go in houses like this ALL THE TIME. Just like Ahmaud. The only difference? When people see me, they don’t AUTOMATICALLY assume I’m a threat because of my skin color. We have to do better, America. 💔
' do better....' ????? the reputation of your country is as low as it can get all over the world. Mass demonstrations in all country's of Europe against Trump and the racist corrupt police you have in your country...the US is becoming a failed state and lost his leadership position in the free world. Remember that black people- read slaves- got the US rich . Not the sweat of the white men! A final second revolution is needed to fix this problem...and i will applaud that!
It's clearly not him but it was a black guy trepassing in that house, ahmaud a black guy who was also in the same house trespassing, that's why this situation happened.
I don't know why it's so hard to declare if it was him or not... The dude without the shirt in the videos had tattoos covering both biceps... so does Arbery? That alone should be a quick tell if it's him or not...
@@anonypersona3189 I don't understand why it would matter if it was him or not the previous time. He was caught on camera in the house so it doesn't matter if somebody else was. The reason they were suspicious is because a black guy was in there and they saw another black guy in there who was ahmaud
I already heard about this, but this version made me cry even more!!!! Whenever it’s all put together and I see beforehand and them chasing him around. My heart sinks!!!!!!!!!! I can’t imagine what it felt like to be hunted down and shot!!!!! For WHAT?!??!????!!! God Rest his soul!!!!
As he fell to the ground , that broke my heart you could picture your child in that video being chased cornered and shot down like an animal right in front of your eyes and you couldn’t be there to help him. Disgusting because you couldn’t do that to an animal and get away free.
After watching over 10 hours of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, I’m convinced he acted in self defense. After watching a much smaller amount of this incident, I’m mostly convinced Ahmaud Arbery acted in self defense too. I really need to watch the trial too for more personal conviction. I think justice was served in both cases. So far, I believe these men murdered Ahmaud Arbery. The jury thinks so too.
The case are very similar when you analyze what happens. From the point Kyle shot his first attacker, runs off, people are shooting that that guy just shot someone, a few follow him; and the moment greg mcmichael recognized Arbery from the earlier footage running by and decide to follow him; it's the same story. People are chasing someone they perceive as being linked to a crime. They think they'e the good guys trying to stop the bad guy. After Kyle fell and shot the one hitting him with a skateboard, we have a similar standoff. In case a arbery attacks his chaser, in case b it's the chaser who advances and point his weapon at Kyle. But Kyle also had his weapon ready and shot him. If Grosskreutz had shot Arbery first, it also would have been self defence based on the situation. Self defence isn't exclusive to 1 party involved. We have 2 cases where the situation ended up with the 4 main actors acting in self defence. That's the dangerous part of vigilantes. The one being chased can't attack a cop in self defence in these 2 situations, but vigilantes don't have that police authority. The one being chased can attack his chasers first and still count as self defence.
Trespassing = Illegal Trying to operand a trespasser = Legal Trying to wrestle a gun away from those trying to operand you = Illegal Shooting someone you are trying to operand after they grabbed for your gun = Self Defense Twist the story all you want, but it will be hard to avoid the self defense aspect of this case.
Thanks so much for your work, Malachy. I've seen other people claim that the chase happened for 12 minutes and I thought 'why let these people chase you for 12 minutes? Run and hide. Call for help. Something. Anything' 4 minutes makes so much more sense. Everything happened so fast. The misinformation being spread regarding this case is so infuriating. People falsely declaring that he was 10-20 miles away from his home People falsely declaring what he was wearing People falsely declaring that he stole something People falsely declare the length of the chase With all the facts available to the public, the only thing that is even remotely up for debate is who (between Travis Mcmichaels and Ahmaud Arbery) can use the 'self defense' or 'stand your ground' defense to defend their actions.
It’s crazy..cause I power walk three hours..five days a week..exactly why I bought myself a body cam..it’s affordable. You can’t always press record on your phone in the heat of the moment.
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve gone into a house under construction to look around. It’s exciting (especially if you came from a poor background like i did), it gives you inspiration on your own house, and it allows you to Day dream. There is NO WAY I would ever get shot because I’m an Asian female and I’m not considered a threat. They absolutely killed him because he’s black. This is a modern day lynching. This should make every think of all the other “justified” shootings that have happened.
Who told you that was ok? DOn't go on property you don't own. Even better, if someone stops you to ask about you doing that, don't run away from them and then charge at them to try to steal their gun. Nothing is racist about this incident. You are racist if you see race in this.
I do too but i dont run away from the construction site as if I did something wrong. And when people comes up to me to see what I was doing I dont run away from them and then try to fight them.. Ahmaud made a stupid choice and that stupid choise was to charge at the man with the shotgun.
@@etmeyutub I hate everyone calling things racist just for the sake of attention and division in our country. HOWEVER, if you don't see civil rights violation written all over this, you're blind because you choose not to see. These men did this because a black man was on their property. I know plenty of racist people in MS, AL, GA, and TN, and trust me when I say, if it had been a white person, they would have stopped to ask questions, not run him down in their trucks with guns.
damon clayton the people in the cars weren’t cops they were citizens. And shooting him is not justified considering there was no evidence he had a firearm and the fact he managed to pass them several times without trying to attack them initially shows a huge disposition for shooting. They assumed he was dangerous and took the role of both a judge and a cop which they didn’t have the authority to do. Chasing down someone and waiting for cops could be justified. Grabbing a firearm and chasing down a person who by all means could have at most been charged with trespassing or petty theft otherwise considering he was caught on video.
Rage raptor wat you mean could have been charged with petty theft that's saying he stole something wen its established that he stole or took nothing dont criminalize this man wen he did no wrong
@@stevies6251 Trespassing is a crime in and of itself. The fact it appears the Building has a door makes it breaking and entering, not just Trespassing. In the same way getting inside an unlocked vehicle without consent from the owner is also breaking and entering. Arbery was not innocent in this situation either. Had the Police arrived sooner & the houseowner press charges, hed be sitting in jail right now or home on bail awaiting trial.

@@stefancrapper3298 you are hella wrong. Everyone justifying this is racist bruh, he was shot at while trying to avoid the car. And then shot at again. Then charged the man to probably get the gun so he didn't die. You are sad bruh, get off TH-cam comments ❄️
Hopefully, they will be convicted. According to this video investigation. He was chased for 4 min. and then cornered. What else do you do if u were chased and then cornered, you're going to defend yourself(Again, these guys were not the police). This was not a case where someone was defending their house from intruders, these were people who did not witness any crime, went out and hunted a man down, cornered him, and when he defended himself, they killed him. That's what this video investigation was about.
@Trouser Troll he was caught in between the two cars, and they intended to trap him. If you're seriously trying to defend the killers, you're a cruel, small-minded person.
@Trouser Troll Yeah, a gun is aimed at you, you can't outrun bullets, pursuers showed criminal intent, last resort, fight for your life. If you were being chased by 3 black guys with guns telling you to stop, you'll either run, freeze up hope for the best or fight in self defense. You guys are literally insane.
That is the White privilege they enjoy that many still deny exists. There also march to the capital in MI, people fully armed and enter the capital armed with guns and the president says oh, talk to them make a deal? What, now you know 1,2,3, black or brown men going near the area of the capital, SWAT and or the National Guard would been called out and them tear gased or shot. Another example of white privilege as are many others that they claim to be oblivious of or does not exists.
Gregory worked for the 1st DA and the 2nd I think his son worked for the same court, whatever, the problem is both wrote a document exoranting him before recusing themselves. That's the prosecutorial misconduct the FBI is looking at, but they'll prolly wait to see if the McMichaels get convicted first before bringing charges.
This kid took 3 shootgun shots, cause he walked in to a construction house, I walked into many construction houses in my life never had this problem, maybe cause I am pale and ppl say I should get some sunlight?! (Not sure irony is the best choice here) Poor kid! EDIT: before ppl in this comment say he resisted put yourself in he's place...
Did you grab and fight for a loaded gun after walking through a house under construction?? Did you pummel the gun owner in the head a few times to gain control of the gun? I'm certain logic is a quality not ascribed to you.
When I was younger, my friends and I would often go into houses under construction just to see the different floor plans and to think what it would be like to live in a nice home. Back when nosey neighbors didn't chase you down with guns. God bless you young man and your family and friends too.
@Trouser Troll and why would it not have been safe?! Because oh my God, he's a black man?? Wow I need to stay out of these comment sections because you people have me really sad with the state of humanity.
I am so very late to this event. I watched today that 2 of the men involved received LIFE without possibility of parole, plus 20 years. The other received LIFE with possibility of parole. Justice is served, but I can not help thinking what the out come would of been had there been no video?!?! Blessings from Australia.
I think it's premeditated too. Here's a comment I left to someone else. Someone said, they knew he wasn't armed so fat boy should have tossed up is gun to pops and did a man to man fight. But that wasn't the purpose of the whole event. Marquis Simmons, I was imagining the same thing, he could have tossed up that gun to pops. Sooo true! Soooo True! But you know, this thing was pre-planned. I'm sure that's going to come out. Travis called 911 two weeks before the shooting. His voice was shaky and scared. He said that the man could have been reaching for a gun in his back pocket. But you know he could have been reaching for a cell phone. The operator asked, are you ok? Because Travis was so shooken up. He described the guy as a light skinned black man. It wasn't Arbery. So does Travis get scared of white people and kids at the house? Reaching in their back pocket? Does Travis get scared at the grocery store when a black man reaches in his back pocket for his cell phone? Nope. Travis was recording his, "fear" on a 911 call so that when he finally shot the light skinned black man he could say, see I told you that I was scared of him because he could have had a gun. That's why I got trigger happy and shot him. But that wasn't going to work since Arbery was a different man.
God it’s sickening. Seeing him try to run away but his body fails him. Imagine the fear, the confusion, the fight for survival. And when he falls, they turn around like it was a job well done. I will remember this forever.
The people who killed him only got arrested because the video got leaked if the video didn’t get leaked they wouldn’t be in jail and he got killed in February we found out 2 months later that stuff is messed up 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ R.I.P ❤️
It's clear at least to me that Ahmaud had the right to run from people who were armed and chasing him, he had the right to defend himself. The fact that the officers didn't at least put the men in custody say a lot about how the situation was managed.
@@anonimushbosh indulge me a little bit this is my pov I think he was running cause armed men were clearly chasing him and they were in a car so they clearly had an upper hand and were gaining up on him so he chose to stop and fight at least that's what I think

![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
Hello, I reported this story and wanted to share some of the details for transparency.
What exactly happened before Mr. Arbery was tragically killed was subject to speculation and was fueling division. I was curious about what the leaked videos really showed, and if there was a way to retrace what happened. I'll explain the timestamp reporting because it revealed an important detail for the first time - that Mr. Arbery was pursued by three men in two vehicles for close to 4 minutes.
My colleague Richard Fausset, who is based in Georgia, obtained the 911 calls placed on Feb. 23. The calls had timestamps in the file names - an important detail. He also obtained the 911 text log for that day, and the times more or less lined up - a 10 second difference, which would be accounted for the dispatcher typing the notes.
The timecode stamped into on the security footage was wrong, but what we see lined up with what we hear in the 911 audio - when the first 911 call was placed and ended, when that caller said Mr. Arbery began to run. This allowed us to correct the time on the security camera. The second 911 call also had a correct timestamp in the file name and at the end of that call, you can hear a police siren. The time the siren is heard matches the time in the security footage we see a police cruiser speeding past 219 Satilla Drive to the crime scene. So this established a continuity between the two 911 calls and the security video.
But what about the video of the fatal shooting? In it, we hear three gunshot blasts. In between the first and second blast, Gregory McMichael is heard to faintly shout "Travis!" in the distance. This sounded very familiar to the "Travis!" that is screamed into the cellphone and recorded by the 911 call. I measured the audio waveforms, and lined up the audio for both, and the timing between the first shotgun blast and "Travis!" matched, as well as the siren we already lined up, and the duration of "Travis!". What's more, the police logs also showed that the second 911 call was placed from Travis McMichael's number, and was routed through a nearby cell tower. It lasted 4:46 and there was only one window in time that it could have been placed and matched those events.
So this was certainly Gregory McMichael, Travis's father speaking to 911 as Mr. Arbery was killed. The police officer who sped to the scene took Gregory McMichael's testimony, and that allowed us to sketch what happened during those fateful four minutes. William "Roddie" Bryan and his attorney have also issued statements to the media, and that allowed us to fill in more details. Finally, breaking down the gruesome video frame by frame, and comparing it to the autopsy report, allowed us to understand what was happening more closely. The first shot was fired into Ahmaud Arbery's chest very quickly. The coroner declared him dead around 30 minutes after this.
This is a tragic story and we hope our reporting provides some clarity on what happened. Our sympathies to the Arbery family.
Malachy.
Thanks, dude
Yes, it is a tragic end, and an even more tragic cause of division amongst people. So much of the previous reporting and footage did not give a clear time frame and even speculated that it was not Arbery who was in the house that day. This is much clearer, but obviously still messy. My sympathies to his family.
I'd be careful with your wording at 3:01
Ahmaud Arbery did not "run off" as fast as your video depicts.
Why speed up the video to make it look as if he's sprinting out the house? He was just jogging away.
William Bryan deserves to be in prison for murder because he helped trap aubry
Some real unbiased journalism. Great job.
the only reason they got arrested was because the video went viral if it didn't they would've never gotten arrested
john D Not enough hours in the day.
Adam No, the DA knew it was horseshyte but she also knew the "No Laws for Black People" crowd was going to do exactly what they do. Tear down and destroy. And then complain they don't have anything nice.
@@lanajoliet6053 Um obviously you don't know anything. The black community was outraged that nothing was being done or being brought to anyone's attention. There was a murder and the whole country just turned their heads until the video got leaked.
Actually, it just took a while for a DA to react, as it shifted from two other districts. Government gears turn slowly and it's doubtful that the video had anything to do with it.
Well, three different DA:s looked the evidence and walked away. Media pressure is the only thing why this case even will go to court. State has zero percent chance to get a murder conviction.
“Took their testimony and let them go”, why not take them to station for further questioning. Context or not you don’t just let two armed guys go after finding someone dead on the ground.

This reporter did and excellent job explaining the facts. I appreciate that he showed other people viewing the constructed house besides Mr Arbury.
I used to run in the city. I can TOTALLY see myself walking into an empty construction sight and just looking around out of curiosity. He isn't hurting ANYBODY OR ANYTHING! Those three cliwns just hunted him down and slaughtered him!! WTF?!!
Facts like in the Rittenhouse trial? Or real journalism?
Police just took the testimoney and let them go... seriously???
....um...because they trying to act as tho these men are being good American citizens that are crime watching for the community. " Oh...They stop the black man from stealing from the construction site because he was case(INg)". As the police accept the testimoney.
From the video that I have seen for cops to initially let them go would seem reasonable. Remember, Ahmaud went after their guns when they were trying to detain him and that made it a life and death situation and a self defense. From my understanding this ain't some KKK hunting down black folks but incompetent gun nuts trying to detain someone that was acting suspicious at gun point. I don't have the whole story but its not all black and white.
Clearly a case of self defense... no other way to look at it. To say Arbery was "jogging" and not fleeing is just painting a picture to insight hate amongst the people
The 4 fellows who commented above me either don't know the laws or are in denial. Misdemeanor trespassing doesn't rise to citizen's arrest stipulations. Plus they didn't catch him "red handed" at the property of his "crime", neither can they legitimately chase &attempt to stop someone not posing a danger or actively committing a crime. Deadly force is beyond the focus of citizen's arrest too. The McMichaels appointed themselves posse, broke some technical rules, and lost control of the situation. They put themselves into a conflict they escalated, they had the guns, they did the chasing while sidestepping rules,...that's why that state brought charges.
@Fred Wilkes killing someone is not a crime then wht else is??? You people are sick..
So police are happy to arrest someone who they suspect has a weapon but when another *uses* a weapon they're let go?
go figure!

Yeah lets arrest the guy who tries to stop a trespasser, trespassing is illegal and a citizens arrest was completely valid, you're just defending him because you're black.
It was not days it was months before they arrested them.

He knew exactly why they were chasing him, which is why he kept running. He had no business being in that house. Having said that, they had no right to confront him with weapons and shooting him.
Nehemiah Ealefoh I understand you’re angry but that’s unfair generalization
Dan Becker actually he has no business in the house, but is it bad thing to walk in construction area ? I don’t think it’s a crime anywhere but too bad the assumption he’s black he must be a robber these two guys fell for. I still don’t get the part where they chase and shot when they don’t have a license for that. But why would the guy run if he didn’t do anything? The act of running made him more suspicious. Guys I’m thinking loud I’m trying to reach to a conclusion nothing more.
"What's your emergency"
"There's a black man running"
i mean i get that but, should he have said a white guy running
@@DeesBees85 Someones home, lmao. So chance him down in a pick up truck with a shotgun and 357 magnum, which he has no business doing in the first place. Whats worse is he is a excop so he KNEW he was breaking the law and still did it anyway

Thats exactly what l thought

No murder. All in self defense
He shot at him before Ahmaud grabbed the shot gun, it's obvious and clear from the video. That was the first shot we hear. Having been relentlessly pursued by men with guns, with one finally blocking your path while holding a shot gun, Ahmaud reacts as anyone in this situation would - he makes a desperate attempt to fight for his life by disarming his aggressor. What were his other options? To run keep running? That hasn't been working. And now it's perfectly reasonable for him to assume that should he choose to run away, he could be shot in the back. This unarmed man, who at no point showed a weapon, who at no point was a threat to them in any way whatsoever, is left with no other option. He's shot again. He is severely injured now and weakened. At this point, McMichael is in every position to create distance between himself and Ahmaud. He is intact, able-bodied and still holding his rifle. At the very least, he could have flung his rifle away from both of them and tackled Ahmaud to the ground. That is, if he had any interest in preserving his Ahmaud's life. But he didn't. He never did, from the very beginning. And so he shoots him yet again, and this is the fatal shot. Watch his body language as he walks away after killing him. It's unhurried, casual. He is not even winded. He doesn't run back to see if his victim is alive, if he's ok, if there's any chance of saving him after this "citizens arrest" goes horribly wrong. He does not care. There is no concern. There never was.
This is maybe the best comment here. The body language really is telling! It was a cold-blooded execution.
It is a really important point to bear in mind that Arberry was shot before he attempted to grab the gun as there can be no justifiable self defense case made if someone has chased and shot someone who was defenseless and not threatening them. This was murder and a racist lynching, pure and simple. It is as well justice has been served in this case, that one feared it might not speaks volumes for the problems of justice black people face in America, but the wider issues of police corruption and attempts to cover up this crime, why Arberry was left dying while the police casually chatted with and failed to apprehend the people who shot him and the issue of white suprematist violence remain.
Well the father himself said that his son had to shoot Arbery "in his d**n chest" (in his discussion with the police). So they did not at all regret the murder, and were obviously expecting to be found not guilty. But God is good and He gave a symbolic victory!
@joolenka you nailed it. Very well-written account(s) of Arbery's murder. Now, the shooter is guilty on all charges since he's the one that actually shot the victim. His father is guilty on all but one count, since the father of the murderer did not shoot the victim. Finally, "Roddie" thought he would get-off being accountable in this murder since he was the director of the recording and submitted the recording. This is where God comes in at...the recording of the murder was leaked and thanks to social media, the recording of the murder was shared over and over. The relentlessness of humans who had watched the recording of the murder knew this murder needed the attention from the right people who represents true justice. The irony in all this, thanks to one of the three stooges, "Roddie," recorded their doom. Consequently, The STATE of GEORGIA delivered JUSTICE! #greatpostjoolenka
Your account of what happened is exactly what the video showed. It was murder, clear and simple. Travis pointed his gun at Ahmaud who then ran to the other side of the truck to avoid him. Yet Travis moved to the front of the car to get a clearer view of Ahmaud who was obviously trying to continue running away from them. That move to the front, as the prosecutor explained in the closing, could not have been to avoid Ahmaud, it was to confront him. He moved closer, not further away, from Ahmaud. That was a move of an aggressor, not a defensive move. Ahmaud would have seen him move to the new position with the gun in his hand, likely still pointing at him. What did that tell Ahmaud?
We heard the first shot as Ahmaud emerged in front of the truck, towards Travis. It’s fight or flight at this point. Remember, he had been running away from them for 5 minutes, exhaustion must be kicking in. Roddie Bryan said in the clip of his interview with the police straight after the incident that Ahmaud was getting tired running, who wouldn’t? Exhaustion meant fight was better than flight and who’s to say flight would not result in being shot in the back? Travis was certainly poised to be able to do that. Why did he move towards Ahmaud rather than further away from him if not to get a clearer shot? He was angry that Ahmaud would not obey his order to stop and was determined to impose his will on the poor guy who had no obligation to obey any order from him.
How could this be self defense? The only one able to claim self defense, had he lived, was Ahmaud. Very clearly, Travis was the aggressor, and in many ways, he escalated the situation instead of backing away. Ahmaud posed no threat to him so there was no reason to defend himself from Ahmaud. Rather, he created reason for Ahmaud to need to defend himself from him. We thank the jury for doing a great job, God bless them!

@chucky ! Stop trolling. They chased him back and forth down the roads til he was exhausted like they were hunting him and when he ran out of energy they shot him down in a modern lynching. The best news we've gotten is the recent news that the cameraman is also being charged with murder now for helping with the hunting process and lynching even if he didn't shoot.
@chucky ! so no problem with the men in the trucks chasing him and cutting him off threatening him with weapons? You're cool with all that. The problem is the unarmed man being chased?
chucky ! well im just saying in conclusion, you basically just tried to justify a lynching and murder.
"There's a black male running down the street" um I wouldn't exactly classify that as an emergency
There was an on going trespassing of a guy who looked the same, so it was a justified call..they were trying to catch a trespasser that has done it multiple times.
The calls were appropriate. They were reporting what they thought was a suspect in a crime. What, should they have mailed the police a letter?
@Frithlethrend The McMichaels attacked Arbery first. Arbery probably felt he had no choice but to defend himself. You can't outrun bullets.
damon clayton that’s not true. The man was described as a lightskin black male with dreaded hair. Unless u think all black ppl look the same, that’s not even close to Ahmauds description
@Melissa Justice -Todd Are you seriously asking why a jogger was running? Arbery dosen't need to justify his work-out routine to the McMichaels.
And the McMichaels came AFTER him with guns.
The real question you should be asking is "why didn't the McMichaels just let the police handle the matter?"
Ahmaud fought so hard at the very end... I can't believe he held on that long. It breaks my heart that these guys trapped and killed him. :'( :'( :'(
From what I understand the first shot would have caused his death eventually. It can take time to bleed out or for the heart to stop. He was fighting for his life.

@@Thearkillian Yeah, because shootings aren't reported in 3rd world shitholes.

How is it "unclear if this is Arbery", referring to the man in the house in security camera videos? Did Arbery have long hair and a tattoo covering his entire upper left arm? If yes then its probably him. If no then its definitely not him.

They had no right to shoot an unarmed man.
@@seanfox4551 I think you're probably right, but we don't know and people need to stop acting like they do know.
Why was he running towards two guys with guns instead of away from them?
Why did he grab the shotgun the one guy had?
Did he grab the shotgun before the first shot? We can't tell because they were both behind the car.
If he was just plain shot then yes, it was murder. If he was grabbing the shotgun before the first shot then no, it wasn't murder, it was self defense.
These are a lot of simple questions that we just don't know the answer to and if it weren't a black man being shot by a white man, no one would be jumping to conclusions but people are because they want it to be a race thing.
I mean FFS, people are calling for the arrest of the person who filmed what was happening from an unrelated car. If that person had been black, people would be cheering him but because he's white, they want him arrested?
"We don't know" is the truth, and all these people out for blood are just as bad as the man who shot Arbery. They want two dead white men without knowing what happened, without knowing if it was justified. They don't care.
How many of these people marching in the streets do you think are going to watch the trial? Read the witness statements? The police reports? The interrogations? If anyone wants "justice" only for their race and not just plain justice for everyone, they need to take a good look at themselves and reevaluate their thinking.

@@Welkon1 so you just ignored this whole video huh they'd been chasing him for at least 5 min...fight or flight...he tried flight...they boxed him in...next move is fight...period...
Welkon Not sure if you paid attention but when he charged at the man with the shotgun, he’d already been shot like what was he supposed to do? He was fighting for his life.
See this report makes me even more mad. Knowing that they hid this crime, they let them go and kept the video for months makes me so mad. They stalked this man for 4mins and killed him. That man killed him and walked away didn't say oh my God, let me see if he is ok. Nothing! No compassion for human rights shot that black man like he was a deer in the woods. Like a sport. Would they have chased that white couple or kids walking in that property that wasn't theirs and shot them? He fought for his life. R.i.p. Ahmad
I agree there was no compassion for human life after the man was killed. Also, not even taking them down to the station was bad, and suggests straight up corruption. The problem is that Ahmaud just kept running which suggested to them that he was doing so for a reason, and attacking the gunman by punching him in the head on video and trying to take the gun from him was pretty much self defense at that point, from both perspectives. You can't bring a fist to a gunfight, regardless of anything else.
Maybe he was running cause he was being chased by people with shotguns.... just a thought
I thought the people who chased Ahmad leaked the video. I didn't think the police had it.
@@rei_cirith the DA was aware of it. The killer leaked to the Media thinking it would help his case. But it just got everybody else that knew tge truth in trouble.
It's not abnormal for people involved in self defense shootings to be questioned on the scene and then released. Especially when there is multiple witnesses and video evidence of the shooting.
Also there's not much you can do for first aid after someone has been shot twice in the chest from close range with a shotgun. The pellets are dispersed and will enter, tear through the lungs, and even exit the back side of the body... causing massive blood loss and filling the lungs and intra-abdominal space. Never mind the likely heart damage. The proper follow up actions taught are to check for weapons and then provide any possible first aid. It would have been apparent in flipping him over there was nothing that could be done for him.
And think about it, if it were you in your final moments would you want to be left alone or die with the people who just shot you leaning over you pointlessly pressing down on your chest?
Also, he didn't start running when he saw people pursuing him with guns. He began running as he was exiting the house under construction...likely because he heard or saw the unarmed guy walking up on his cellphone talking to 911.
If you watch the video released by the guardian of another interaction with the police where they attempted to taze him, he was displaying a serious attitude problem and a dangerous and threatening behavior in his interaction with even the police.
Firearms are distance weapons, if you run up into someone's personal space while they're holding one, and especially if you attempt to snatch the weapon from them: you can expect that person to shoot you in self defense.
It's simply amazing he took that first shot, and fought period, none the less, how hard and how well, 3 shots, to the upper body, and still get tried running last minute. I feel so horrible for that man, his family and friends, and America as a whole. The change will never start at the top, it's going to need to come from the people, the masses.

@Z Z true, he was murder! not very unfortunate 😔
Other neighbors explored the house as well. I used to check out sites like this when I was growing up. These murderers were out hunting.
Very normal thing. Construction is so interesting. And from what I can see, the owner didn't protect the site at all. And it's obvious that none of the people that came to look at the house had any bad intentions as nothing was ever taken from the site
you all are so full of crap. "Oh. he was interested in architecture." Was he "jogging" or "exploring the fine art of house building'" Such a stretch. It was also just as possible that he was a dirt bag criminal looking to steal. I don't care if you all trespasssed on construction sites. You are all wrong. You have no business on someone else's property. Ever.
These two weren’t defending their property . They left their home with guns to chase this young man down and shoot him . Not life or death they could of stayed at their own house and let the police sort everything out . They went looking for trouble and ended up doing murder . Lock them up !

Bamm-Bamm Rubble and being the coward that he is, instead of giving the gun to pops and fighting him head on, he chose to shoot an unarmed black man. Probably because he thought he could get away with it.
Marquis Simmons, I was imagining the same thing, he could have tossed up that gun to pops. Sooo true! Soooo True! But you know, this thing was pre-planned. I'm sure that's going to come out. Travis called 911 two weeks before the shooting. His voice was shaky and scared. He said that the man could have been reaching for a gun in his back pocket. But you know he could have been reaching for a cell phone. The operator asked, are you ok? Because Travis was so shooken up. He described the guy as a light skinned black man. It wasn't Arbery. So does Travis get scared of white people and kids at the house? Reaching in their back pocket? Does Travis get scared at the grocery store when a black man reaches in his back pocket for his cell phone? Nope. Travis was recording his, "fear" on a 911 call so that when he finally shot the light skinned black man he could say, see I told you that I was scared of him because he could have had a gun. That's why I got trigger happy and shot him. But that wasn't going to work since Arbery was a different man.

@@gala_pi oddly enough i was thinking the same thing.as a kid 50 years or more ago we used to have great times playing in houses being built on an estate at the back of us on sundays and public holidays when the builders wernt there! i came to the uk from ireland when i was 5 or so but where i come from in cork its still very rural.even today you often find strangers or curious locals stopping and having a look at new buildings being built or remembering what used to be their years ago its no biggie most rural folk all over the world would say the same.also as a young teen and slightly older certain places attract or become meeting points weve all hung out as a teen at an abandoned factory or warehouse or building being built they have a certain mystery when you are young.the poor lad was probably thinking was that done last time i passed? lets have a look inside and see how far theyve got since last time.nothing suspicious just curiosity! we all do it! at the moment for example cars pass very very slowly down our street sometimes stopping and people getting out and wandering up my neighbours lawn at all hours! nothing dodgy theyve come to see his xmas lights which he decorated his house with early and stand out a mile! people are having a look up close no doubt to get ideas for their own decorations! lets be real here if anyone of any colour was pursued down the road by pick ups full of red necks armed with guns in the rural usa wed all do exactly what he did and run for our lives! weve all grown up on movies like deliverance which may not be true but if you are alone on a country road pursued by maniacs sure seems to be!as far as the victim was concerned it seemed to be a stereotype lynch party and he was rightly in fear of his life! cops are to blame too! normally in the uk they tell callers well keep him in sight but dont go near him or try to stop him just report where he goes.dreadful awful preventable tragedy.
@@mikekemp9877 exactly. Our neighbors next door sold an apartment. New owners redecorated it and i went and looked because i was curious since my place had similar design...and I'm not a teen anymore but still curious.
The poor guy being chased had a 'flight or fight' reflex and he tried to use both.
@@gala_pi true its not just teens my wife and i can be out driving and she will tell me to stop as she gets out and has a look at a garden or porch!im exactly the same if i see an old vintage car! people are naturally curious and especially with homes you like to see how new ideas look in situ rather than in a brochure or store!how many times have you heard or said yourself in a store about paint curtains anything yes but how will look on our walls?
I'm wondering why the cop who let them go isn't fired in the first place? He's also complicit.
Yep, he should be fired cause he showed he has a bias and that attitude is dangerous for anyone that’s appointed to protect the public.
I think the police chief and some other cops and one of the the DA’s have been charged for this incident and some other corrupt sketchy stuff. I’m not sure if the cop on screen was, but yeah, a lot of people are going down for this “lynching”.
Well captain hindsight, beacuse at the time they only had the testimony of the people who tried to make the "citizens arrest" to go by. This video that you watched probably involved countless hours of research and cross referencing evidence and even then the details of the case are hazy.
@@adamurmos9270 I would absolutely like to know what you think is so hazy about the case? You gotta be fking kidding me There's only one thing that you need to see clearly is that 3 pos white men just went out there and started hunting down a black man like he was a fking animal so they could killed him And that whole Fking Pitiful State Gvmt City DA Police and the Public tried to cover it up Until Video Man start getting haunted in his sleep by guilty nightmares that he absolutely deserved
I SAW THE VIDEO OF AUBREY VIOLENTLY BEATING A OLDER WHITE MAN __THEN TAKE THE RIFLE HIS SON HAD ON HIM WHILE THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE SHERRIFF AND TAKE THE RIFFLE AND FIGHT TO PULL IT DOWN TO HIS LEG TO SHOT IT TO AVOID PROCECUTION _-------
This is hunting, After shooting, the guy had a swag and that is beyond words, sad. People with gun and they can take any life like that.
@@pewishjrivilege896 Well they killed one black guy and now three are going down for it, not clever is it? White people trespassed into that building also and nothing happened to them
@@pewishjrivilege896 he wasn't trespassing in their home, they weren't security guards. They had reported the incident, they didn't see him take or carry anything that should've been the end but not only do they try to stop him where they had no rights to, they did so while armed with guns and got him killed in the process, even if you think it makes sense to try and stop him, the very fact he took nothing and they got him killed means they have to take responsibility for their action. There's really no complexity to this case apart from the fact that racist white people want to feel safe so they want to be able to shoot any black person they feel like.
Bamm-Bamm Rubble, He was a trespasser like the whites and the kids. The house was used as a drama station to create a story line of burglary and armed trespassers so that they had an excuse to chase down and lynch a black man. Boom, boom, beginning of story. In my opinion there is evidence that this thing was pre-meditated and that's what's going to come out next. Just wait and see.

You people are literally not living in reality. You are insane.
@@sophiaperennis2360 Well considering people are free to think and be suspicious about Ahmaud Arbery, it only makes sense the same is done against those who killed him.
Personally, I love checking out construction sites, I know it is usually trespassing, but it doesn't make you a thief to be curious about something like that. He didn't deserve to die, RIP
Same! I have poked around to see how construction was coming along.
@Nathan Loveland everyone has, even the ones who are commenting well he should not have been there has.
In my Country it is the norm to look around these types of building bt then again we don't have guns, the least you will get is get out of here by a security guard.
According to the family's attorney, Ahmaud was starting an apprenticeship to become an electrician and was at the out construction house to observe the wiring, which is common for electricians to do. But even if he was doing something illegal it doesn't justify his murder
Actually, you don't. You never went to a construction site against the law. You are lying for political purposes.
So heartbreaking after the final shot that he breaks down and dies alone. His murderer turning away.
like they just shot a deer
I'm amazed by Arbery's will to live, he took 3 shotgun shots to the body but still kept fighting for his life.
Adrenaline probably kicked in.
Amen to that!! It took two idiots to shoot him that many times until he finally
Collapsed
The last shot definitely shot him. The first 2 looked like they missed. Don't charge someone with a shotgun.
@@billk123 nope. Before the last shot when they come into frame again you can see ahmauds shirt is bloody. Also maybe dont chase someone down with guns, and escalate the situation to the point they feel the need to defend themselves?
😭😭This man probably doesn’t even know why he’s being confronted or shot at , probably so confused 🥺🥺🥺 dangg
I mean if he didn’t know that he was doing something wrong why would he run in the first place
Eaglehero ..because 1st : they had guns.. I would run too.. And he was casually running in the first place, Before they confronted him..
Eaglehero loads of people were caught trespassing on the building and nothing was ever stolen. they killed this man because theyre racist
Trinity Kemp to be honest if I was him I’d stop and scream something along the lines of “don’t shoot me” plus if you watch you can see him lunging himself at the dude with the pump action.
Eaglehero obviously, as confused and scared he would be with his life on the line, he was trying to disarm the man. People react to situations differently so your point is gonna be false you can't disprove someone's reasonings because you would act differently. "Stop and scream" would perhaps be amongst one of the stupidest things you can do if you were in his position and thought the same as what he did. If you see what you think are killers (2 people pointing a gun at you) you would stand and scream "don't shoot me"?
They chased him like he was a fugitive slave from the plantation!!!
Don't they have a word for that sort of thing? Ancestral instinct or something? It's in their inbreded hillbilly blood
@@johngoodman4829 , for this type of policemen? Yeah, there are 3 possibilities: 1) they are possessed by demons / 2) they have on their blood line some ancestors that owned plantations and were bad and cruel masters for their slaves/ 3) they are some how from Hitler's blood line.
@Mikko Not sure if sarcasm or stupidity...
@@johngoodman4829 Yes they are inbreds. Just look at them. They will pay dearly for this!
Justice was served today. This was a cold blooded killing.
He must of seen inside of the construction house but he sees like having a time alone & calmly walking & watching the house, just because he was inside of the house that dosen't mean he is doing something bad & also they don't have the rights to take a human being's life
I think they probly followed him before and tried to hide
It’s still trespass - technically speaking
You still shouldn't go into random houses. If you want to be alone, go to a forest or a park, don't creep like this.
Brofist Gamers that said, it doesn’t justify shoot the man dead - a beating, maybe ; but should not be shooting
@@brofistgamers1404 He didn't bother nobody & a forest or park nobody feels safe at all
Thank you for this excellent insight to this sad horrific WRONG incident, Malachy , I always enjoy your informative, transparent journalism.
He was chased to his death. “If you wanted to talk” why do you need a shotgun for that? Now what if he didn’t engage them and kept running, he probably would’ve still died. I don’t think there was anything else he could do but to fight for his life. They knew what they’re were doing. So whoever sees this as justifiable is sick. who chases someone for 4 mins trying to “talk”. And they had guns loaded. Death penalty.
My opinion is they think he have a gun and they think ahmaud make a crime like stealing or something and follow him and when the scene rolling the victim dont know what to do because suspect in front of him and show the gun to him and think he gonna get shot and trying to take a gun and get shot.
The suspect realize he dont have gun and get paranoia. Or maybe they just hate black guy
@@jeredorksider69 the only true fact you said is found in your last sentence... "they just hate black guy" Period
@@Daniela-ij4fr I have seen that every time two American citizens come across each other, one is tempted to believe that they are going to become friends, but that rarely is the case. Why are Americans so hostile of each other is beyond me to understand. In the course of our lives, we find people that later we know we have to be careful about them, but in the Americans there is some kind of lack of confidence in the others.
I don't know, but I guess the best way to run away from cars would be going for the woods? And if you want to talk with someone suspect of commiting a crime, wouldn't you bring protection? And if you're running, why would you stop and trespass?
@@baluranha when did trespassing become a crime punishable by death? And who do these murders think they were taking justice in their own hands?
Imo being chased by two cars with men's wearing guns is a valid reason to flee :/
I think it is abundantly clear that the person who entered the house four times was not Ahmaud (2:32). You can clearly see it in the video.
The guy is clearly light skin
@@LaurieChristina Yeah honestly, to say "it's unclear if this was Arbery (2:43) has a racist undertone as though all Black folks look alike? That man also had hair unlike Ahmaud.
Imagine being hunted with a truck, car and guns on you for blocks and running for your life, then one of your hunters gets out of his vehicle and points a shogun at you...Let that set in for a moment...
@Z Z Right! That would be crazy. And you know those kids would’ve ran too. Sometimes a comparison is needed cause the compassion towards men of color has been diminished
If dude was scared he would have ran away from the truck. At one point he his seen jogging and began to curiously look at a construction aight of a house.
Then he continues his jog. Others thought he was running. It wasn't until he was approached by the two white males in the truck that he began to run.
Now, what they said to him in the first contact with Aubry.
He is fighting though, that is what is confusing. And he began to runaway. What did they say to him first?
Whatever they said to him made him runaway and what did Aubry run away?
@@samuelperez8214 My guess is he was running from the guns they had in hand. Anyone would run especially if you’re African American and know the climate the US was in with former president Trump
@@sznd yes, that's clear in the video. But if was scared he would have ran away or stopped jogging. But he running at that point. So whatever President Trump had this in this case, it did not stop Aubry from going heads up with a dude with a shotgun. Not murder but involuntary manslaughter. Almost self defense, though!
I don't know the outcome of this case at all I'm following on other stories like this right now.
Sounds like the men in trucks blocked him in....Sick people bothering innocent people!
Innocent no problem .

@@TRC98 Lying must be your family tradition. White people, kids walked into that same building, the owner said no one took anything, the black guy is dead, the whites are alive.
@CankerousBooch Arís The homeowner said nothing was stolen.
Yes, sick is correct. These people need to be institutionalized but no one is willing to say it!
This is absolutely my worst nightmare. It breaks my heart how scared he must have been.
So sorry that you had to feel that way Erica. I thought I was emotionally strong, but this video brutally exposed my weakness. I literally broke down. Why did the McMichaels do this?
I have watched the raw footage of Roddy Bryan's video (with and without NYT commentary) countless times. I know this case inside and out. It is clearly apparent, to anyone who is not willfully trying not to see it, that there is a mere *one second* between the time when Arbery is running along the right side of the truck, and the time when he is in front of the truck and Greg McMichael blasts him with his gun. McMichael basically blasted Arbery the *instant* he emerged from the side of the truck, which means that he was waiting for him to emerge, with his gun pointed in the area where he would emerge--ready to blast away. There is no way whatsoever anything transpired in that one second to suddenly turn the situation into one where McMichael would have a need to defend himself. Arbery wasn't even close enough to touch him when that first shot was fired. There's no self-defense claim here for the McMichaels. None whatsoever. Believe me--the prosecutors have looked at the possibilility of self-defense, and concluded there is no viable claim, which is why they are going ahead and prosecuting the McMichaels for MURDER.
Fire the whole department
I’m a grown man and grown men cry and right about now this makes me want to cry 😢
I cry when I see black people.
@Dacia Sandero guys learn how to spell
The people who wanted to be safe and have guns for such reasons are the ones to be safe and away from. When will America learn
u should absolutely be an attorney. This is the clearest, most realistic demonstration Ive seen thus far
No one should be anything but themselves.
Ahmaud was hunted down and shot like an animal! I mean, who do those men think they are following him, cornering him and murdering him just for trespassing? Nothing justifies the brutality that Ahmaud was put through. I hope those men get the maximum sentence in jail for what they have done and I hope the guilt of them murdering a man haunts them for the rest of their lives....
I live in a neighborhood that’s under construction and I go in houses all the time to see what cabinet colors they picked and what tile and all that hgtv stuff. I go in houses like this ALL THE TIME. Just like Ahmaud. The only difference? When people see me, they don’t AUTOMATICALLY assume I’m a threat because of my skin color. We have to do better, America. 💔
You're trespassing, btw, and shouldn't be doing that.
Just because some people do drugs, it doesn't mean doing drugs is allowed.
@Ashes to Ashton I am totally agreeing of what you are saying!💔
You are still breaking laws
Me too I'm only posting to say he's not the only one. Never took anything just want to see what kinda design etc.
' do better....' ????? the reputation of your country is as low as it can get all over the world. Mass demonstrations in all country's of Europe against Trump and the racist corrupt police you have in your country...the US is becoming a failed state and lost his leadership position in the free world. Remember that black people- read slaves- got the US rich . Not the sweat of the white men! A final second revolution is needed to fix this problem...and i will applaud that!

That guy with no shirt was clearly not Ahmaud
It's clearly not him but it was a black guy trepassing in that house, ahmaud a black guy who was also in the same house trespassing, that's why this situation happened.
Yeah, but all black people look alike, so how could the NYT know? /sarcasm
I don't know why it's so hard to declare if it was him or not... The dude without the shirt in the videos had tattoos covering both biceps... so does Arbery? That alone should be a quick tell if it's him or not...
@@anonypersona3189 I don't understand why it would matter if it was him or not the previous time. He was caught on camera in the house so it doesn't matter if somebody else was. The reason they were suspicious is because a black guy was in there and they saw another black guy in there who was ahmaud
If there is a autopsy photo of ahmaud with short hair at his death.That would mean none of the surveillance videos has him in it.
I already heard about this, but this version made me cry even more!!!! Whenever it’s all put together and I see beforehand and them chasing him around. My heart sinks!!!!!!!!!! I can’t imagine what it felt like to be hunted down and shot!!!!! For WHAT?!??!????!!! God Rest his soul!!!!
@Dark of the knight run down a street? visit a construction sight? run from an armed militia? self defense? what should he have not done?
Dark of the knight People like you are so annoying. DONT COMMENT!!! You’re so lame man.
As he fell to the ground , that broke my heart you could picture your child in that video being chased cornered and shot down like an animal right in front of your eyes and you couldn’t be there to help him. Disgusting because you couldn’t do that to an animal and get away free.
After watching over 10 hours of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, I’m convinced he acted in self defense. After watching a much smaller amount of this incident, I’m mostly convinced Ahmaud Arbery acted in self defense too. I really need to watch the trial too for more personal conviction. I think justice was served in both cases. So far, I believe these men murdered Ahmaud Arbery. The jury thinks so too.
Rittenhouse should have been charged with having a gun
@@geminiwoman0 No, he was legally allowed to, that's already been confirmed. Self Defense!
The case are very similar when you analyze what happens. From the point Kyle shot his first attacker, runs off, people are shooting that that guy just shot someone, a few follow him; and the moment greg mcmichael recognized Arbery from the earlier footage running by and decide to follow him; it's the same story. People are chasing someone they perceive as being linked to a crime. They think they'e the good guys trying to stop the bad guy. After Kyle fell and shot the one hitting him with a skateboard, we have a similar standoff. In case a arbery attacks his chaser, in case b it's the chaser who advances and point his weapon at Kyle. But Kyle also had his weapon ready and shot him. If Grosskreutz had shot Arbery first, it also would have been self defence based on the situation. Self defence isn't exclusive to 1 party involved. We have 2 cases where the situation ended up with the 4 main actors acting in self defence. That's the dangerous part of vigilantes. The one being chased can't attack a cop in self defence in these 2 situations, but vigilantes don't have that police authority. The one being chased can attack his chasers first and still count as self defence.
This is so heartbreaking to watch. I am speechless.
I don't understand how this is anything but murder...
This was a modern day lynching.
Trespassing = Illegal
Trying to operand a trespasser = Legal
Trying to wrestle a gun away from those trying to operand you = Illegal
Shooting someone you are trying to operand after they grabbed for your gun = Self Defense
Twist the story all you want, but it will be hard to avoid the self defense aspect of this case.

Great job, Malachy. Thank you for painting such a clear picture of this injustice.
Murder plain and simple, they need to be accountable for their actions
Thanks so much for your work, Malachy.
I've seen other people claim that the chase happened for 12 minutes and I thought 'why let these people chase you for 12 minutes? Run and hide. Call for help. Something. Anything'
4 minutes makes so much more sense. Everything happened so fast.
The misinformation being spread regarding this case is so infuriating.
People falsely declaring that he was 10-20 miles away from his home
People falsely declaring what he was wearing
People falsely declaring that he stole something
People falsely declare the length of the chase
With all the facts available to the public, the only thing that is even remotely up for debate is who (between Travis Mcmichaels and Ahmaud Arbery) can use the 'self defense' or 'stand your ground' defense to defend their actions.
Well said
It’s crazy..cause I power walk three hours..five days a week..exactly why I bought myself a body cam..it’s affordable. You can’t always press record on your phone in the heat of the moment.
It’s sad that you have to do that
Probably have some mace too jic. All that jogging is very healthy tho, that's great.
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve gone into a house under construction to look around. It’s exciting (especially if you came from a poor background like i did), it gives you inspiration on your own house, and it allows you to Day dream. There is NO WAY I would ever get shot because I’m an Asian female and I’m not considered a threat. They absolutely killed him because he’s black. This is a modern day lynching. This should make every think of all the other “justified” shootings that have happened.
Who told you that was ok? DOn't go on property you don't own. Even better, if someone stops you to ask about you doing that, don't run away from them and then charge at them to try to steal their gun. Nothing is racist about this incident. You are racist if you see race in this.
I do too but i dont run away from the construction site as if I did something wrong. And when people comes up to me to see what I was doing I dont run away from them and then try to fight them.. Ahmaud made a stupid choice and that stupid choise was to charge at the man with the shotgun.
@@etmeyutub I hate everyone calling things racist just for the sake of attention and division in our country. HOWEVER, if you don't see civil rights violation written all over this, you're blind because you choose not to see. These men did this because a black man was on their property. I know plenty of racist people in MS, AL, GA, and TN, and trust me when I say, if it had been a white person, they would have stopped to ask questions, not run him down in their trucks with guns.
you said it exactly as it was, a modern day lynching. I can't wrap my head around it.
The neighborhood watch group was on high alert about some thefts or misplament of objects that were reported in the neiborhood.
People were excited...
damon clayton the people in the cars weren’t cops they were citizens. And shooting him is not justified considering there was no evidence he had a firearm and the fact he managed to pass them several times without trying to attack them initially shows a huge disposition for shooting. They assumed he was dangerous and took the role of both a judge and a cop which they didn’t have the authority to do. Chasing down someone and waiting for cops could be justified. Grabbing a firearm and chasing down a person who by all means could have at most been charged with trespassing or petty theft otherwise considering he was caught on video.
Rage raptor wat you mean could have been charged with petty theft that's saying he stole something wen its established that he stole or took nothing dont criminalize this man wen he did no wrong
Stevie Smith “at most”

Hopefully, they will be convicted. According to this video investigation. He was chased for 4 min. and then cornered. What else do you do if u were chased and then cornered, you're going to defend yourself(Again, these guys were not the police). This was not a case where someone was defending their house from intruders, these were people who did not witness any crime, went out and hunted a man down, cornered him, and when he defended himself, they killed him. That's what this video investigation was about.
@Trouser Troll running towards them? that's a new level of bias i've seen. please stop deliberately lying.
I have no hope they will be convicted
@Trouser Troll he was caught in between the two cars, and they intended to trap him. If you're seriously trying to defend the killers, you're a cruel, small-minded person.
@Trouser Troll Yeah, a gun is aimed at you, you can't outrun bullets, pursuers showed criminal intent, last resort, fight for your life. If you were being chased by 3 black guys with guns telling you to stop, you'll either run, freeze up hope for the best or fight in self defense.
You guys are literally insane.
@Trouser Troll he was running from them. stop lying.
Justice? *NO JUSTICE* because Mr. Arbery is dead. His family is in eternal grief!
I just can’t understand why this killers where not arrested since the same day of the fatal racial execution! Amazing!
If it were the other way around, the blacks would spend life in prison. Sad.
That is the White privilege they enjoy that many still deny exists. There also march to the capital in MI, people fully armed and enter the capital armed with guns and the president says oh, talk to them make a deal? What, now you know 1,2,3, black or brown men going near the area of the capital, SWAT and or the National Guard would been called out and them tear gased or shot. Another example of white privilege as are many others that they claim to be oblivious of or does not exists.
Gregory worked for the 1st DA and the 2nd I think his son worked for the same court, whatever, the problem is both wrote a document exoranting him before recusing themselves. That's the prosecutorial misconduct the FBI is looking at, but they'll prolly wait to see if the McMichaels get convicted first before bringing charges.
This kid took 3 shootgun shots, cause he walked in to a construction house, I walked into many construction houses in my life never had this problem, maybe cause I am pale and ppl say I should get some sunlight?! (Not sure irony is the best choice here) Poor kid! EDIT: before ppl in this comment say he resisted put yourself in he's place...
he was shot because he tried to steal a gun during a citizens arrest
It’s because he tried to grab the gun from those two psychos
If you had been caught trespassing by a person with a gun, would you explain yourself?
Or would you try to wrestle a gun away from them? O_o
Did you grab and fight for a loaded gun after walking through a house under construction?? Did you pummel the gun owner in the head a few times to gain control of the gun? I'm certain logic is a quality not ascribed to you.
@@2bRealist I'd explain myself if I got nothing to hide why should i be scared
When I was younger, my friends and I would often go into houses under construction just to see the different floor plans and to think what it would be like to live in a nice home. Back when nosey neighbors didn't chase you down with guns. God bless you young man and your family and friends too.
Wow. What intelligent people all of you are. Just judging from your responses to this woman's comment.
@Ahmaud and would you not have run if 2 people, who you had no idea who they were, were chasing you with guns?
@Trouser Troll and why would it not have been safe?! Because oh my God, he's a black man?? Wow I need to stay out of these comment sections because you people have me really sad with the state of humanity.
I am so very late to this event. I watched today that 2 of the men involved received LIFE without possibility of parole, plus 20 years. The other received LIFE with possibility of parole.

This is crazy i cant imagine how terrifying it must have been for Ahmaud running these 4 mins. And from the footage nothing justified them shooting.
@Maenza Creations Oh dude that makes me so sad that he was calling for help.
@Maenza Creations They shared the dying photo of the victim on whatsapp with all the neighbours, this was a lynching party.
I think it's premeditated too. Here's a comment I left to someone else. Someone said, they knew he wasn't armed so fat boy should have tossed up is gun to pops and did a man to man fight. But that wasn't the purpose of the whole event.
Marquis Simmons, I was imagining the same thing, he could have tossed up that gun to pops. Sooo true! Soooo True! But you know, this thing was pre-planned. I'm sure that's going to come out. Travis called 911 two weeks before the shooting. His voice was shaky and scared. He said that the man could have been reaching for a gun in his back pocket. But you know he could have been reaching for a cell phone. The operator asked, are you ok? Because Travis was so shooken up. He described the guy as a light skinned black man. It wasn't Arbery. So does Travis get scared of white people and kids at the house? Reaching in their back pocket? Does Travis get scared at the grocery store when a black man reaches in his back pocket for his cell phone? Nope. Travis was recording his, "fear" on a 911 call so that when he finally shot the light skinned black man he could say, see I told you that I was scared of him because he could have had a gun. That's why I got trigger happy and shot him. But that wasn't going to work since Arbery was a different man.
@@AA-ek5kz Is there any evidence of this? Sounds like a smear rumor tbh.
not that scary for him since he bowed up on a cop previously... it's on video
God it’s sickening. Seeing him try to run away but his body fails him. Imagine the fear, the confusion, the fight for survival. And when he falls, they turn around like it was a job well done. I will remember this forever.
Latexrex 14 do 53?
The people who killed him only got arrested because the video got leaked if the video didn’t get leaked they wouldn’t be in jail and he got killed in February we found out 2 months later that stuff is messed up 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ R.I.P ❤️
It's clear at least to me that Ahmaud had the right to run from people who were armed and chasing him, he had the right to defend himself. The fact that the officers didn't at least put the men in custody say a lot about how the situation was managed.
But why was he running towards two men wielding guns & chasing him?
Nothing about this makes any sense regardless of who was at fault.
@@anonimushbosh indulge me a little bit this is my pov I think he was running cause armed men were clearly chasing him and they were in a car so they clearly had an upper hand and were gaining up on him so he chose to stop and fight at least that's what I think
Wrong time. Wrong place for arberry.
@@marvinogega2384 If you watched the trial, the weapons were concealed. Travis took the shotgun only after arberry went back to him twice and was back the third time.
@@anonimushbosh dude they chased him for so long. He probably could run any longer and felt that his life was being threatened so he made an attempt to disarm one of them. d
Hunted, cornered, murdered! How scared Ahmaud must have been during those final minutes of his life. Let's hope justice prevails.
RIP AUMAUD,, JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!!!!!!!!
@SpaCeDoUT CODM There is now way to escape this and the public is watching and will deal with them if they are let go. We all know they murdered him. This is 2020, not 2019.
THE BEST BREAKDOWN EVER!!!! THANK U SO MUCH!!! REST IN POWER AHMAUD ARBERY!!!
Rest in power ha ha ha WTF is that?
@@3vimages471 His death has brought more awareness, empowerment, accountability, etc to situations that we were blinded by and swept under the rug to quietly go away.
Thank you for your Honest, unbiased Reporting. Be safe, Be Blessed
