What would I do? Fucking run, man. I know I would run. Charging at someone holding a shotgun, grabbing the shotgun, and punching him in the face is literally the dumbest option if you can run away. Doesn't matter if I or he was right in the eyes of the law, there's a great chance I'm dying by doing that.
...and a guy hopped out in front of him with shotgun in hand. That’s excessive and intimidating af.
Agreed, but is GA law going to see that as provocation? How else do you carry a shotgun but in-hand? Not like there are a whole lot of shotgun holsters out there. I'm not choosing sides here. If McMichael provoked an attack and then used lethal force, he should go to prison. If Arbery overreacted and turned it into a self-defense situation, well that's a tragic turn of events. The bystander fat-fingering the phone at that crucial moment could very well dictate one party has to endure an injustice.
Had many guns pointed at me and the most recent was outside of my house as I got out of my car. Dude was hidden in the shadow of a tree at 12 AM and put the gun right in my face. Luckily I had my car in neutral as I was gonna check the engine as it ran and quickly shifted into drive and punched it down 2 blocks before slowing. Not for one second did I try to wrestle the gun from him and I know how. This is a clear cut case of a young punk who thought he was hot shit who got caught and tried to intimidate the wrong people. He got what he deserved.
