Arbery's actions muddles this whole thing up, I'm guessing manslaughter.

Yes, same here. It's why I started commenting in the first place. Nevertheless, the jury will have to decide if the firearms were even necessary. Personally, I don't think they were, given the circumstances. I believe the McMichael's were well within their rights until brandishing their firearms. And, I don't believe the McMichael's are grizzly murderers. Stupid, but not savage. Manslaughter seems likely. Sad, sad situation for all participants.
