There are a lot more idiots on here than I would’ve thought siding with an obvious thief who was on video multiple times in private residences. He made a deadly choice to fight a man with a shotgun minutes after trespassing and entering private property. Out jogging my ass!
do you have proof that he STOLE anything?? if so post it, and i dont mean a video of him entering a house not taking anything i mean real physical documented proof that he stole something. if not he didnt make a deadly choice, the two men who thought they were the law made that decision for him. until all the evidence comes out i will label them as vigilantes who took the law into their own hands.
Under Georgia code, Moore says a citizen can use force if they fear for their life, but they cannot create a confrontation themselves and then claim self defense after harming someone. Especially if they did not witness a crime take place.
"It does not allow us to create armed posses and roam the community looking for someone we think might have done something wrong," Moore said.
from the FACTS we have now these men created a confrontation, harmed someone and then tried to claim the self defense
the fact he has already been arrested for stealing makes him a thief, not to mention items previously stolen from the house under construction where the thief was caught on video. And " the two men who thought they were the law" was a retired detective for the DA, and his son who also worked for the DA office. The father has previous dealing with the suspect before any of this. So it aint just "some guys" who saw "a black dude" Even if he didn't take anything, if they witnessed him enter the property with intent to commit a crime, Thats burglary, the fact he is trying to escape the scene of the crime also gives them the right to perform a citizens arrest. You say the mcnights created a situation, but i say the thief created the situation. All that aside, the mcnights had every right to be in the road were they was at(also according to GA code), Aubrey could of turned around went left or right or any number of things, but HE chose to use the truck as cover to close the distance at which point he travelled from the passenger side of the truck to the drivers side and attacked a guy holding a shotgun and tried to remove the shotgun. Not from fear that the mcknights were going to kill him but because he was trying to evade capture.
