Citizen’s Arrest gone wrong Georgia

[newfie]

Not everyone's into guns. I grew up around guns, learned to shoot when I was a kid, did a lot more shooting in the Marines, I'm plenty proficient. But I have zero interest in shooting anymore. I'm pro 2A and I'd consider buying a gun for home defense if I felt I needed it but beyond that, eh. Not my thing.

I'm kinda the same way. Own a shotgun and thats it. I can defend myself and no has ever messed with me probably because i"m taller and bigger then most and I dont go looking for trouble. My kids living in baltimore city during the riots got me thinking that maybe i need to reevaluate my options a little more. Those riots encroached within blocks of where my kids lived at the time. I thought about the fact that if trouble hit their neighborhoods the cops were standing down and I didnt have enough firepower to go in and protect them. The other factor is age. Old people tend to get more attention from the crooks . I remember when my dad was riding down the road and some thug tried to come up and mess with him. Dad placed his 45 between the guys eyes and calmly informed him that he perhaps did not understand who he was friend'n with. It was a persuasive argument that prevented any further criminal activity and any further bloodshed. Guns used wisely without any emotion can be very persuasive.

Welp.










Yup.

 

[It will be fine]

in fact everyone should be required to own one. watch the crime rate go down when that happens.

Lol. If more guns lowered the crime rate we’d be living in the safest country in history. Spoiler, we don’t. But don’t let reality interfere in your fantasyland.

Here’s where they blame it on the blacks with guns! Rightfully or not.

Yes!
Most women I know carry mace or the like when they jog.

Those would be for personal defense. I was talking about carrying a gun, which could be used for both offense and defense.

Maybe that's where the term shot gun offense came from.

Uh....no.

Why did the jogger feel the need to stray from his path to go in to the home that was under construction?

????? If the guy was related to the burglaries regardless that doesn’t mean someone can just grab their gun go out try to detain the guy and in the end shoot them. That’s manslaughter not a citizens arrest.

I wasn't asking in relation to the shooting. My question was more general------why did he feel the need to stray from his path and go in to the house that was under construction?

 

[Indecisi0n]

How fast was he running ?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

How fast was he running ?

Not fast enough.

Maybe he was curious. It's not against the law to do that in Ga.

 

[BrownFlush]

O.J. was guilty, too.
White lawyers and a black jury proved everybody wrong.

Actually the jury did as instructed by the judge. He told them they cannot fund him guilty if there was even a sliver of doubt. I think his defense team met that very low bar.

spoiler alert most of your problems are in areas with the tightest gun control.

It appears the laws in georgia do allow citizens to do so.

Most law abiding people dont enter houses that dont belong to them.

if the glove does not fit you must acquit.
