ding ding ding! You win!
I just assumed murdering an innocent man is bad news. Am I wrong?
So where did all that happen? Not in Brunswick GA. Fill me in please.
Lol. A moment to treasure. I was as surprised as they were!
When people think of racism it is usually against people outside of their ethnicity. Colorism is discrimination against people because they have a darker complexion. The idea of racism and colorism are similar. Someone with a lighter complexion is considered to be more beautiful or valuable than someone with dark skin.[2]It was a revelation to me, many years ago, when I realized that my Grandfather, born in 1907, thought the most acceptable Black Man in his eyes had the darkest skin color because that meant he could never "pass." What a really sick way of thinking.
Yet nowadays it's often been the lighter shade of shin that is admired, accepted and desired even among Black people themselves as Spike Lee has exposed and admonished against.

Not to be confused with Racism.

The Untouchables aren't poor or uneducated, just dark. There were always examples of WORTHLESS Brahmans. Some of the wealthiest people in India are from that caste.
There is, like China, still a whopping deficit in their respect for women. It's a totally different culture than China but their views of women are both the S***s.
Lol. Where ON EARTH did you come up with THAT name?
Sounds like a female pro tennis player...weird name but spoiled rotten.
SIGH-Watch the video-AGAIN.
Prayers to the victim...
That is incorrect, re-watch the video
Travis McMichaels changes position, he was standing to the left (out left) of the truck between the opened truck door and the left edge of the road, like in the middle of the road. He could easily see where Arbery was going. Arbery, instead of jogging/running straight for Travis, veers to his right to pass the truck on the grass. Travis is the then shown he moved position from being in the middle of the road, to being in front of the truck to meet Arbery.
At this point, this is aggravated assault, he moved, with shot gun in hand towards his victim. However he fires at Arbery when Arbery is now in front of the truck. Arbery, with no other options then to either attack or die, wrestles for the shot gun, Travis fires shot number two off camera, we see the buck shot blast enter the frame, it was a possible “miss”, coroner rule that one blast grazed Arbery’s hand. Both move back into frame where Arbery tries to take the shotgun but Travis finishes off Arbery with a third fatal shot.

Dude, I seriously don’t know whether to question your IQ, your vision or simply your ability to correctly process REAL visual images and REAL actions that conflict with what you would like reality to be.
Travis may have moved in front of the truck, but Arbery wasn’t in the grass, he was still on the roadway before he “deeked” left toward Travis. He could easily have run much farther to the right of the truck and avoided both men. The father was in the bed of the pickup-if Arbery were so afraid of being shot by one of them, he could have turned around. It is impossible to see what happened in front of the truck as the two met, but Travis backed up, had his head down and didn’t look to me to be gunning for anyone.
Yes Travis did move in front of the truck to meet Arbery, he was no longer “standing his ground” but on the attack/offensive move. He did not want Arbery to get away a third time.
Where was he to run? Turning around would put him farther back into the development, and the roads just loop back to that intersection in front of the pick up truck. Plus Bryon was in the 2nd pick up truck behind them (camera man), who was also trying to stop him.
His only exit to leave the area was ahead of him, jog back onto Satilla Shores and go north to go back home (about 2 miles away)
How could Bryan be trying to stop him if he’s in a vehicle? Run him over? I don’t think so. Again, none of us can see what happened during the initial shot, but Arbery could easily have kept running to the right, past the truck. I don’t know exactly where the road leading out of the subdivision is in the video, do you?
