re: so media is saying the video disproves Ahmad was a burglar

You've read the police report?

Not saying I know that they saw him committing a crime, I don't know what happened.

Memo and other items are in the OT thread.

No. I'm referring to the idea that even if he wasn't caught in the process in this moment, if he had previously been caught stealing from this neighborhood and the shooters knew this...……..it would absolutely have to be considered when looking at this situation.

Right. If there was paperwork or documentation that attested to that, it would be useful to have. But we don't have that, or at least it isn't referenced in the documentation. Not only that, there was only 1 break-in that was reported to the police, with a handgun stolen from the McMichael's on New Year's Day.

I'm sorry. If, for example, some dude stole from my neighbors last month...……..got caught...…...didn't live in my area...……..and then...……...today, I see that fricker running thru my neighborhood in shall we say, unorthodox jogging wear, my reaction is going to be different than if just some random black guy runs down my street.

Which is why the lack of reference to any earlier incident is curious. The explicit justification of the McMichael's was that they had seen him first on surveillance video, and then in person at a later point in time. The first justification was used to suggest that he was the burglar, and the second justification was used to state why they were armed. But we have no evidence he was caught, no evidence of what was stolen, no evidence that he actually did anything illegal. What we do have is an admission by the property owner whose house is being built that all the surveillance footage saw was "trespassing," and we have corroboration that Arbery jogged along the road that lead directly to the neighborhood. In fact, we have more evidence that he was a jogger than he was involved in any of the thefts at this point.

The fact that the internal DA memo seemingly assumes his guilt without actual physical evidence is a very curious omission that begs the question as to what was stolen, when it was stolen, and why the McMichael's suspected Arbery. From the police report, we know that McMichael saw Arbery three times. One time on the surveillance video shared by his neighbor, one time on some previous night (the exact date we don't know) when he apparently saw Arbery reach into his pants, making him think he was armed, and the third time when he saw Arbery "hauling arse" down Satilla to Buford Drive. Why were none of the other supposed break-ins reported to police? Why was nothing mentioned about what exactly Arbery was supposed to be stealing? And why didn't McMichael tell the dispatcher exactly what Arbery was doing that precipitated the 911 call?

This has ZERO bearing on the events that lead to his death. They didnt see him commit a crime. Period. It's factual.

So. For clarity.

If a person not from your area stole from your neighborhood and was caught for it...……...then, later, you saw that same person running down your street...………..you'd be like, "meh, probably jogging this time?"

By the way. I am amused at how much the people who love to scream racism throw the word rednecks around.

They were country white dudes.

All of you would shite your collective fricking pants if the roles were reversed and EVERY reference the black guys involved said "these n****s were following him and...…"

---

shut up, man. Show me when I have ever "screamed racism" and I'll show you examples of me making fun of those who do. These guys were rednecks. They'd probably even proudly tell you that themselves. What is racist about a white guy calling a white dipshit a redneck anyway?

quote:

---

People often refer to country white dudes as rednecks

Oh yes.

The use of the word here is entirely innocuous.

quote:

Looks like you're being intentionally stupid again

Says the guy trying to pretend the word redneck is being used in this scenario in much the same way some country singer might use it.

Right. If there was paperwork or documentation that attested to that, it would be useful to have

Yes.

Which is my only point. Everyone seems to be acting like they know EVERYTHING they need from a 15 second video.

They can't.

Who gives a shite what is in your pictures. These idiots had every right to shoot him IF this guy came into their house and robbed them and it occurred in their home. When they jumped in their truck with shotguns they are simply idiot murderers....nothing more.
