He’d also be alive if local idiots didn’t chase after him with loaded guns like the wild west, but let the authorities handle the situation.
Finally someone talks about the first part of his route.
“ Off he’d go, out of the doors of his mother’s house, down the long street toward Fancy Bluff Road. Then would come the right turn onto the two-lane road lined by oak trees draped with Spanish moss.
About a mile and a half into his usual route, Ahmaud Arbery would cross the four lanes of Jekyll Island Causeway into the subdivision of Satilla Shores.”

Better prepare for flak. But yeah, that’s a good point. This incident is looking more and more like a criminal vs. a bunch of idiots.
Two questions remain. Was the criminal doing something seriously criminal on the day he was shot? And were the shotgun guys just stupid, or were they criminally stupid?
I’m now going to put my helmet on. Because I think some flak might be coming my way too.
“let the authorities handle the situation”
That will sound more correct if you pinch your nose when you say it. Put on a dress and swish around for us.
He might’ve still been shot the next time he entered someone’s house without permission.
The local auth- thor- ra- ties? Theyll be there tuesday , sometime between 8-12, can you meet them at the address then? . glock 2.2 seconds cops= 22 minutes away unless its a burglary, then they will zhow up the next day, meanwhile you cant work because your tools have been stolen.
Well, carrying unloaded guns would have been just silly.

Getting chased by the locals is an eventuality if you insist on being a thief who comes around people's houses at night.
Now clearly you are the sort of person that doesn't mind some violent criminal walking in between you and your neighbors houses at night, but this behavior leaves a lot of other people uncomfortable, and most normal people would not want to put up with it.
Oh, and the "authorities" were not handling the situation. Do they ever?

I seriously doubt they had any ideas about killing him.
I had the occasion of pointing a loaded gun at a couple of guys (1 black & 1 white) outside my house one night in the belief/expectation that a gun being pointed at them would make them controllable while I called 911. In my case, I was wrong, instead they fled and I just stood there screaming “stop”.
When I was holding the gun, the last thing in my mind was that one of them would charge at me and try to take the gun. But, after the Arbery situation I have had a lot of time to contemplate what can happen, and the fact is I really do not know what I would have done had one of them tried to take my gun. I am sure I would have been terrified to suddenly realize my life was now in danger with the sudden realization I was about to be shot.
In my situation, I like to think I would have shot first, in order to save my life, but I really do not know because the last thing you expect is to be challenged by someone who is unarmed. And, in the event I had to pull the trigger (to save my life) because a “stupid” individual tried to take the gun, I might have been charged with some sort of felony. After all these people were doing noting but standing on my property.
