are you under the impression that the McMichaels knew of AA's previous issues?
I think they had a reason for looking for the guy, yes.
Did they know all these other, older issues? Not sure.

Funny part for me is how hard it was to find undoctored video.
Try searching youtube or google for this video. You will find dozens of pages of 1-2 min video that cut out every single escalation, cursing barage, act of intimidation, etc that AA engages in. Specifically edited to portray him more of being "harassed" than being the reason for the escalation.
If he did this to police multiple times (black and white police), what would he do some "fat redneck"?

He was killed without reason. I don't care who it is, it's not right.

Can you explain all the details since you must obviously have them?

it's probably that Arbery wasn't doing anything wrong, the McMichaels made a rash decision and never intended to hurt anybody, it escalated, and alas a tragedy happened.
I think this is close to reality.

after that as far as not charging and the DA. that shite's shady.
Rigth. Perhaps the McMichaels plan, such as they had one, didn't work out and shite got bad, fast. But, they are still deserving of a charge.

It was actually exactly like a 40's or 50's lynching where a group of white people presume the guilt of a black person and deem themselves the judge, jury, and executioner, and the local law enforcement sweep it under the rug.

no doubt. i don't have all the facts, and admit that... but there's no way they don't shouldn't be charged with voluntary manslaughter. that's the lightest conceivable conviction i can imagine.

So are you saying that from the video evidence, that they had reason to kill him?
The fact that there was someone waiting there with a camera is very suspicious to me.

When you go for a man’s gun, being killed is a probable result and certainly a possible “reason”.

The hoops you rednecks are jumping through to try & justify hunting down an innocent black man is truly remarkable.

Why were they waiting for him? Why was there someone there with a camera waiting on him?

i believe AA and McMichaels had interacted before.
And therein lies the rub. Did they purposefully seek out AA to "arrest" because previous interaction with him colored their opinion of whether he is a "criminal" or not? Because from the evidence we know of at this point, they had no legal right to a citizen's arrest.
If so, that's pretty premeditated. And pretty fricked up given McMichael is no longer with the force. Last thing we need is some old police baw with grudges running around claiming citizen's arrest because he needs to further stroke his ego.

Except for the executioner part
I think it's highly unlikely that the McMichaels had any intention of doing serious harm to Arbery but instead tried to be fake LEO heroes by catching the black guy meddling in their neighborhood.
Which is bad enough, and undeserving of the silly and insulting lynching labels.

I’m so ready to see this trial play out. Very interesting case.
Does GA allow video in its courtrooms?

SO if you have an issue with how the media tends to portray these things you're automatically on the shooter's side? Hopefully I'm just reading too much into your post.
Not necessarily, but the people who make these threads, to a man, have argued at some point that this was justified/they will walk.

This is probably the third storyline to the saga
But I think it should be pretty limited to message board banter about practical decisions when you're harassed by douchebags with guns.
Real talk - Arbery made a bad decision. But he didn't create the situation, and it's hard to hold him accountable for it. From a fighting/self-defense/etc. perspective, I think it's fair game to talk about Arbery's choices and how they probably contributed to his death. But I don't think they have any impact on the culpability of the McMichaels.

Fair enough. I don't want to be counted in that number
