here was only one reported burglary in the area, at the McMichael's house.


English is now saying $2500 worth of property were stolen in January (or February), although he did not report it at the time. Take it FWIW.

I'm very skeptical that Arbery would have continually stolen things on a route he regularly jogged.


I'm skeptical about all of it in a case like this. How well did these folks know each other? Any old beefs?

Why weren't there more police reports made, why won't the neighbor share the footage with police, why haven't any of the stolen goods been found, why did police lie to the mother of Arbery about his cause of death when they had the video from the day of the incident, and why did the second DA write the internal memo the way he did?


So, the corollary to my Rule #1 - "...and those wrong initial reports are always woefully incomplete."

Dunno, and not relevant to my comment.

If the jogger was white, or if the other two were black, this would never have made national news. PERIOD.

So when are you white people going to learn? You need to avoid black people at all cost. This is a simplification, but you are only allowed to confront black people if they are in your house.

Frankly, the thing that piqued my interest in the case was the fact that the police had the video from the time of the incident, but lied to the mother about how the victim died, and made no attempt to correct it until after a news report came about about it in April.

That, along with the internal memo written by the DA, are extremely peculiar. Here's the memo. LINK

Wait, the story here is they called 911 before they went and murdered someone?

That’s gonna be a no from me dog.

How is attacking two guys who have guns with your bare hands increasing your chances of not getting shot, compared to continuing to run?
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he got turned around twice before the video started? He tried to keep running. That’s a fact. Eventually, the person chooses to fight instead of flight. When you make a person feel like that’s their only option, it’s the option they’re going to choose.

Yeah. They said there’s a black man running down our road. Come get him. That was literally their reasoning. Pretty good, huh?

There’s no date on that memo. Weird.

I take it back. It’s written April 2nd. There’s no date. But it’s April 2nd.

Yeah. This is going to be a big waste of time.

Except for all kinds of half-truths in that report.

They didn’t have first hand knowledge of a crime.

Georgia’s citizen arrest law doesn’t provide for violence in detaining someone.

Also, if Arbery had a gun, using the DA’s argument, he could have shot McMichaels.

We’ll see. My guess is we’ll find out more.

The DA explains that in the memo.

We know that because he luckily dated the autopsy report, but not the memo itself, which is weird. I don't know what the standard these things are, but the memo seemed pretty sloppy. The description of the video and then ascribing some weird stuff to Arbery at the end struck me as extremely strange.

Probably would have. What’s your point?

The McMichael's hadn't seen him commit a crime though. At most, he was trespassing, but in order to do a citizen's arrest in GA, you need to be witness to a felony, I believe. No where in the official documents does it mention finding anything Arbery supposedly stole.
