re: Fetterman Says “It’s Impossible to Say” ...Pull a Shotgun on an Unarmed, Black Man Jogging

Annoying is splitting hairs about semantics when a dude was gunned down like a dog in the street for no reason. If you really believe that the shooting is wrong as you’ve stated, then who gives a frick what verbiage you use to describe him?

I don’t think Arbery or Floyd deserved to die. I’m not keen on the LEO’s sentencing in Floyd’s murder. Not bothered by the bohunks in Georgia.

That being said it’s ok to say Floyd and from all appearances Arbery were not good dudes minding their own business when the altercations occurred.

Why? the truth matters.

Floyd said “I can’t breathe” before the LEO even touched him.

Arbery was not out on a jog.

Michael Brown’s hands weren’t up and he didn’t say “don’t shoot.”

Rittenhouse was attacked and did not in fact shoot any black people at a peaceful rally.

That doesn’t stop people from marching with “I can’t breathe” or “hands up don’t shoot” signs or the running community getting together to run 2.2 miles for the sake of virtue signaling.

I’m mostly fine with the legal outcomes of all four of the above cases, but virtue signaling false narratives just creates more of a divide.

What did they lie about?

That he was out and about for the purpose of exercising.

What did the media lie about?

They lied by pretending he was only in the area because he was jogging, when he was not.

The dude was constantly poking around property that did not belong to him in that area, was he not?

Again, none of that justifies the murder, it just exposes media dishonesty.

It's difficult to stomach the fact that this cave troll is in serious contention for office.

America has gone full retard.

What else was he doing?

I remember the family that owned that house saying multiple people came in and walked around - is that incorrect?

As I understand it he wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary.

Assuming you think he was casing the joint - you can’t really prove that since he didn’t take anything. We have video of him jogging/running.

So what would you call him in relation to his presence there? He’s not a neighbor. He’s not a thief. He’s not a mailman.

After a while jogger is the only thing that is safe and makes sense.

Why does this guy even bother trying to hide the huge thing on his neck with those stupid sweatshirts and scarfs and whatever the frick that is he’s wearing in that picture? Everyone knows it’s there and that’s why he’s wearing these things. It’s like he thinks is he’s FDR and can hide it from the public except this is 2022 not 1942.

Only it doesn't make sense and it doesn't bear scrutiny.

I said “in relation to his presence” in the neighborhood

He wasn’t there because he was a victim, he was a victim because he was there

Man. Victim. Pedestrian. Arbery. Person.

None of those really explain why he was there, which would be any rational person’s first question.

“Prospective criminal” isn’t exactly gonna cut it, assuming that’s what you believe.

You also said he was wearing blue jeans initially, which isn’t true. Is that part of the reason you think he wasn’t jogging?

And the answer would be "we do not know why the victim was in the area", because they do not know.

Yea I edited to remove that. Mea culpa.

No the fact that he didn't live in the neighborhood and had been creeping around construction sites in the neighborhood prior to the murder/day of the murder tells me he wasn't randomly going to this neighborhood to jog through it.

The constant repetition that he was merely "out jogging" is an attempt to plant misinformation into certain peoples heads. It encourages a narrative, without directly setting it. It's a backdoor way to make people believe that this was a good black man out getting some exercise and some redneck white dudes decided to gun him down for no other reason.

A lot of people have a strong desire to believe that. The media does zero to discourage that belief because they thrive off of the ensuing chaos.

The strange part is that people are so conditioned in this country, the media could have lied the other way and said he was stealing when he was gunned down. Citizens taking vigilante justice would have still been wrong, and the faux outrage of a black man being gunned down by white men would have been no less. You see, the victims actions (especially if he isn't white) simply don't matter anymore.
