re: Alleged video of Ahmaud Arbery shooting leaks

For sure, but if you are going to have such strong convictions like he does you should be able to at least begin to answer that question.

I just dont really get the relevance to dig for that right now so hard like some want to do. It appears, at least on twitter, that is pretty much the only reason this case seems to be gathering attention for many people

This case has been around for a little while now. It didn't' just happen.

At the local level, it absolutely appears they were trying to make it disappear, in large part due to the fathers connections.

It's only starting to get some traction because the family has been pushing for an outside group to come in and investigate, plus with the video being released it's finally getting national attention.

ETA:

Also, in a lot of cases, information and perps usually aren't sat on. When the police act quickly are show signs of interest in the case, people are usually satisfied. In this case, it's pretty clear the good ole boy network was in full swing.

It seems strange its pretty consistent only certain ones make 17 pages here while most go unnoticed

Most murders are pretty routine, no?

This doesn’t fit that bill at all

frick those 2 fatass hicks. They are about to be squealing like a pig in prison.

Agreed. Philando castille should have been their main focus. Not Michael Brown.

You are admitting it would def be the exception for someone to workout in knee length shirts and a belt.

No, I would never attempt to put a number on it. What I implied was that the more people wouldn't, but many absolutely do. Some people don't care about that type of stuff.

I even alluded earlier to it in this thread, at the gym I attend there is a group of guys who come in after work, in their work clothes construction type gear and work out and run. I've forgotten my change of clothes sometimes and just worked out in what I had, even in just my socks.

If I saw a guy jogging in boots, I wouldn't be surprised or thrown off.

So in fact, it’s smart if one has to make an assumption one way or thee other the safe assumption is he wasn’t working out

Also no

Honestly, if BLM didn’t get caught up in trying so hard to defend people like Brown and Sterling, people would be much more supportive overall. And when situations like this happen that, on the surface, look very much like it could be triggered by race, people would be more willing to listen. But because they chose these terrible situations that had false narratives from the start, people are more likely to be skeptical both of them and murders like this.

This is what I was getting at earlier, and I can definitely agree with the rest of it as well. Trayvon killed by a "white Hispanic" and the "if I had a son" comments seemed to really start it or at least kick it up a ton of notches.

quote: Sure am, you still a dumb arse. You're the one who said this: quote: Where did this guy Arbery live? Was he normally jogging in this neighborhood, what kind of neighborhood was this? Houses next to each other, spread out, mixed area of people, low medium or high income? As if any of that is justification for murder.

---

I never said or wrote they were justified. That was instantly assumed by you and a couple others.
In fact I never gave an opinion till I replied to TH03. My entire point of my question was to show or understand is this happened because of his skin color. Hell the lady that called 911 gave the impression she was scared to see a black man.
Got to admit it is kinda funny how stupid some people are on this board. The mind readers are the best though.

I just have a really hard time believing that these guys would shoot the man simply because of race. If their intentions were that sinister, why do it in broad daylight in the middle of a neighborhood? There are really only two scenarios:

- He was casing houses or was caught burglarizing or trying to break in
- He was jogging or passing through the neighborhood and was mistaken as a burglar

In either scenario, the guy filming and the two guys in the truck were intent on apprehending him. Instead of surrendering or just running away, he decided to fight some dudes with guns and got shot.

So what will happen to them? This is oddly similar to Treyvon Martin except we have video of the altercation. If these guys get off like Zimmerman did, we are going to see some of the worst retaliation / protests. If either scenario above is what happened, what, if anything can these guys be charged with?

Sorry I haven't read the whole thread but was the guy that was killed the real burglar?

Did he live in the neighborhood where he was jogging?

Did the person filming know the person with the shotgun?
