So did Arbery even live in that neighborhood or area?

I don't know how much if anything race had to do with it, but they both belong in jail. The left isn't going to get the mileage they want out of this if they are duly imprisoned and prosecuted. Very few people are going to side with these guys.


Exactly. There seem to be some on here wanting to argue this. There is no justification with the information presented. Period

My opinion is they fricked up and should be punished accordingly.

Why is that hard for some people to understand?

How does the DA see this video and buy the story as told?


What I've quoted below is from an article linked earlier. If this is a true representation of their statements, then I don't see anything in the video that refutes is.

quote:

The police report says the father and son got into their truck and drove down Satilla Drive toward Burford Drive.

Gregory McMichael stated when they arrived at the intersection of Satilla Drive and Holmes Drive, they saw Arbery running down Burford Drive.

In the report, McMichael says they attempted to cut off Arbery, but he turned around and began running back in the other direction.

McMichael and his son continued to follow Arbery, they shouted “stop, stop, we want to talk to you.”

McMichael pulled up next to Arbery. Travis McMichael got out of the truck with the shotgun.


According to statements, that’s when McMichael says Arbery attacked his son and the two men started fighting over the gun at which point Travis McMichael fired a shot. A second later there was a second shot.

Arbery fell down on the pavement.


They clearly said he turned around so they did too so they could confront him. I personally don't think they should have confronted him, but I don't see anything in that video that totally refutes the statement the news is portraying.

I think they're going to overcharge them because everyone's all in an uproar and these guys are going to get off.

This part is contradicted by the video. They are clearly waiting on him already out of the truck with a shotgun

I don't think the video contradicts that statement at all. They admitted that they pulled up and Travis got out of the truck with the shotgun.

Why is it so hard for you some people to understand that this seems awful likely to have been a de facto cover up?

on a sunny Sunday afternoon, Ahmaud Arbery ran through his neighborhood in the coastal town of Brunswick, Georgia. Neighbors had seen him run by their homes every day for years.

Actually, what do you even charge the dad with? Did he fire a shot?

Where in the video did they pull up next to him? Where in their statement did they say they were stopped in the middle of the road waiting on him with their guns?

From what I have seen, there is no way a sane person would let them off the hook.

These dudes are the quintessential Spike Lee white rednecks.

Lock these murderers up just long enough to plug in the chair.

This is what I mean. Charging the guy with murder is a sure way not to get a conviction here.

It isn't, NTAC. Perhaps let this one play out and see how it goes before interjecting you BS opinions on what you think is a "cover-up".

No need for racial tension. They need to be arrested and go to court.

I feel like the article puts emphasis on the "black man running down the street" part to make this seem racial. How would you describe the guy when you call the police? They're going to ask you his race even if you don't offer it.
