He was only trying to stop him for the police.”Īrbery’s killing on Feb. He did not want to encounter Ahmaud Arbery physically. "But at that point, Travis McMichael is acting in self-defense.
“It is a horrible, horrible video, and it’s tragic that Ahmaud Arbery lost his life,” Rubin said. McMichael and his father, Greg McMichael, gave chase, hoping to detain Arbery until police arrived, Rubin said, but Arbery refused to stop and lunged toward McMichael and his gun. Attorney Robert Rubin described Arbery to the overwhelmingly white jury as “an intruder” who had four times been recorded on video “plundering around” a neighboring house under construction. In this and other situations, the word of another is not good enough.An attorney for Travis McMichael, the man who shot Arbery three times, put the shooting in a much different light. Had this been done, the cold weapon would not have been used until it was in a safe mode, thereby avoiding the tragedy. Anyone having experience with handguns, long guns, shotguns or any weapon capable of inflicting harm on another should verify, through personal inspection, the weapon is as described and safe to handle or use. The person accepting the weapon from the prop manager as being a cold weapon, indicating it was safe to use, failed to personally verify the condition of the weapon was as described. Any speculation about the tragic incident could be resolved if those involved admitted how or what they should or shouldn’t have done to prevent the tragedy.
Much has been written and discussed about what transpired on the movie set of “Rust” in New Mexico. It is much needed for the cultural well-being of San Antonio and the surrounding communities. I hope the community, the city, the Symphony Society of San Antonio and the musicians can develop a plan that keeps the full orchestra playing its amazing music. Looking back at my long life, I treasure all of my special experiences of music and art. This is a big expense for me as a retired teacher. I have purchased a full season ticket for the San Antonio Symphony for several years and already paid for the San Antonio Symphony’s 2021-22 season. I’ve continued this with my grandchildren.
I have supported the San Antonio Symphony since 1968 and taken my children to performances to cultivate a cultural life as rich as mine. I will be forever grateful to my parents, who introduced me early to concerts and operas in Frankfurt, Germany, when George Solti was there.
