re: Father and son arrested/charged for murder of Arbery in Brunswick, GA

Wait. This happened on 2/23?

I thought it happened just a few weeks ago. Holy shite.

cant attack someone and then use things from their past as my defense.

That’s exactly what lawyers do

quote:

Neighbors reported he regularly jogged through the neighborhood.

---

Yep.

quote:

---

“Everybody in the community knows he runs,” said Mr. Vaughn, who said he saw Mr. Arbery jogging on the streets a few months ago. Mr. Vaughn said that he himself had raised suspicions by jogging through his own neighborhood in the suburbs of Brunswick, recalling a recent instance in which a white woman followed him in a van.

He had no stolen property on his cold, dead person.

Yep. Also, the father & son never saw Arbery at the property that was under construction that Sunday morning. They saw Arbery pass by jogging on the road IN FRONT OF THEIR HOME. Apparently, the actual homeowner either showed the McMichael's the prior surveillance footage of someone on his property or there was a prior conversation between these parties about the description of person seen on the surveillance footage.

quote:

---

Gregory McMichael said he saw Arbery run by his front yard and alerted his son, according to the police report — he says they thought he resembled a suspect behind recent break-ins in the neighborhood. Both men then grabbed weapons and attempted to follow Arbery in their pickup truck. After a chase, the men pulled up beside Arbery and shouted at him to stop, McMichael claimed, and Travis McMichael got out of the vehicle with a shotgun.

With the real residential owner refusing to give up the surveillance footage, it makes me wonder if he went to Greg McMichael for help if someone had previously stolen items from his property being that McMichael is an ex cop. Could they all have possibly assumed the person on the prior video was Arbery & it ended up not being him at all? Which would explain why the property owner refuses to release the footage he has.

I do not see boots. They look like low tops. As for cargo shorts, who knows. They just look like long shorts to me.

I could see this, but also why didn't that property owner make a police report for the stolen items? The only reported burglary in that area was a handgun stolen from a car parked outside the McMichael's house.

It’s tough to see. I just wouldn’t classify it as he was in ‘jogging gear’ but regardless, everyone will have their day in court.

 So how the frick did these ole baws hear about the construction site?

---

They didn't know shite. They just simply saw Arbery running on the road past their own house. Somehow they came up with Arbery fitting the description of burglary suspect. Greg McMichael said this himself in his statements give to the police. How this description made it around that neighborhood in the weeks prior to the shooting is a question within itself, that is going to be answered eventually.

I honestly don't know but something about it doesn't smell right & this is something that has to come out down the road.

The first DA did immediately recused himself.

quote:

Gregory McMichael served as an investigator for Glynn County District Attorney Jackie Johnson. He retired last year. The connection caused Johnson to recuse herself from the case.

But you're right about 2nd DA...I hope he loses his job over it or at least resigns.

Guy is in gym shorts and black tennis shoes. They may be curt style , which is a bit longer but he is def in exercise gear.

Read Bigbrog’s post. Straight facts. These guys are HOA Karen’s with guns. My neighbor think he looks like the guy on surveillance so let’s roll up with guns drawn and arrest him. Anyone want to bet 100$ that neighbor testifies to something a little different now ? “It might be him, looks like but not sure “. These idiots took off with guns drawn not in “hot pursuit “ but bc some said he looked like someone on surveillance.
