And, is it possible that the McMichaels' prior experience with Arbery could have held sway in their decision to escalate the situation and threaten his life, but you've already answered that question in the affirmative.
And i'm trying to get you to accept my answer of "violently attacking a man with a shotgun."
*THAT* is the reason Arbery got shot. How hard is it for you to grasp this seemingly clear fact?
Also, i'm not going to continue refuting your attempts to stuff your own bullsh*t false account into my mouth. I've told you I regard your efforts to sneak that verbiage past the discussion as deceitful, and I think you are fully aware of it now, and only continue it because you are really losing this argument, even in your own mind.
But the desire to believe what we wish to believe is strong, and I suspect you will persist.
