Two of them simply tried to detain a moronic burglar who’d been robbing their neighbour hood and one was simply there and recorded the moron grabbing a shotgun and getting himself shot. Now they all get to spend the rest of their life in prison. The blacks are given free reign to commit every evil there is while whites are treated like subhumans by the nation they built. This nation is doomed and seems to deserve that doom.

Under GA law, they lump both detention and arrest together for the purposes of false imprisonment.
Because they were committing a felony themselves (the false imprisonment), they could not assert self defense unless there had bee some sort of break in the sequence of events, which never happened.
What people aren't getting is that there's basically no right to conduct a citizen's arrest in GA, with very narrow exceptions. It doesn't matter under the law that Arbery was also a burglar because the McMichaels admitted that they didn't know that at the time.
Well, kind of tangential, but what did they change, then? Stupid media says nothing useful. Wikipedia says Georgia's citizen's arrest law was "very broad in scope" which kind of contradicts what you say, but I'm not ragging on you; just saying I can't get any good information.
It went from you could conduct a citizen's arrest if you witnessed a felony or became aware of a felony by someone who immediately witnessed it to no citizen's arrest at all.
