It shows a man who appears to be Arbery entering and walking around a house being built. The men who killed Arbery told police they were concerned about break-ins.
Minds are made up, they don’t need facts.
These guys are screwed.
I have entered homes under construction, what was his crime
?

Yeah! It can also be tried as stupid. There’s a lot of that in this story.
My thoughts agree with you about the main event. But just because he entered a house under construction doesn't prove anything to me. I used to go into houses under construction in my neighborhood all the time just to look at the layout. There's also video of him inside the house, but I didn't seen him take anything.
Arbery stole nothing!
1. These two shooters weren’t the police.
2. They were not on their property, defending it and themselves.
3. They were on a public street, armed.
4. The armed men exited a vehicle and confronted an unarmed man.
Two armed men who are not policemen exited a vehicle and confronted an unarmed man. They were not defending their property. They were not defending themselves against deadly force. They chased down with multiple vehicles and “cornered”. There is no possible way you can paint the unarmed man as the aggressor. This guy very quickly deduced that he was in mortal danger.
I will agree with you on these points.
Other than trespassing, the crime if any has yet to be established. I would say the neighbors intervened before a crime could be committed. Btw, he got himself killed when ran about 60’ right at an armed neighbor and physically attack him while attempting to disarm him.
That’s why he’s dead.
No. They should be set free after a fair trial.
What you are saying doesn’t make sense. If the only difference were the guys in the truck were cops this would be a slam dunk. If you charge someone to disarm them you are nuts.
Exactly! perhaps he was thinking of purchasing the property.
I have done it.
You'd better have another look at that video if ya think the decedent was, "Cornered". Maybe a new pair of glasses might help.
Was no trespassing posted? was the door locked? Did he steal anything?

“That’s why he’s dead.”
Agreed. It is self defense. That is why they had the guns.
I think you mean deceased.
Yes, the kid that got shot was somewhere he should be.
I think the guys that chased him down should have just tailed him and dialed 911.
Now if it happened on their property, thats different.
That said, Ahmaud Arbery ain't no jogger.
Yes, he made the same mistake made by Treyvon Martin and Michael Brown: he attacked a man with a gun.
I will submit that the black guy might have been up to no good.
But it is damn bad policy for a bunch of civilians to just grab guns and go chasing after a misdemeanor suspect. Nothing good can come of it.
Now let’s look at it from the black guy’s point of view. Yeah, maybe he just stole a hammer. But then some civilian comes pulling up in a truck and brandishes a shotgun. Had the black guy survived - and had he said that he moved on shotgun guy because he thought he was about to be shot - I would have believed black guy.
Enough with these wanna-be cops. If you are being attacked, defend yourself, of course. But if you just see - or suspect - a crime, call the real police. Don’t take your guns to town (Johnny Cash reference there).
