But he was a good boy.
Saint Arbery, how could you?
One thing’s for sure, the cracker who shot him wasn’t just out trolling for an innocent black man to kill. Nothing racial about the incident at all.
It seems the history just keeps coming.
Geez, don’t they have a picture of Arbery at 12 years of age the media could run with to counteract all this bad publicity?
He was out for a job and decided to job through Walmart.
He was going to go back and buy some new jogging shoes until they harassed him.
When he went into the home under construction, while he was, innocently, “Jogging” he was probably looking to purchase that home or maybe he just wanted to see what color scheme they used for the kitchen.
Well, glad that clears everything up - getting arrested for shoplifting in 2017 totally justifies getting shot and killed by some civilian in 2020.
He was running that day because he was late for church....
These stats are 5 years old but they've gotten worse not better.
In just raw numbers white on white murders were 196 more than black on black murders, BUT whites make up 68% of the population vs 13% by blacks.
These numbers are not new to FReepers but they are so far out of wack compared to the population, blacks are killing each other faster than covid-19 is killing 80 year olds with bad hearts.
Black on black crime and black on white murders are a real pandemic.
Where is the lock down?
“Arbery, wearing shorts and a parka”
Oh, well there you go. That’s a capital fashion offense.
the one killed should not be on trial....we should base what happened on “what happened” and not on who the shooter or the victim was or their history..
It seems something like this is always the case, and it almost always comes out after everyone has dug in.
the slow drip of his crap record is beginning.
I was arrested for shoplifting at KMart in 1977 at age 18.
This can’t be...he’s a saint!!!
Most who live life this way end up dead or in prison. This part of our demographics and culture is destroying American society as Saint Jogger has always been a menace to society like millions of others. The other part that is eroding away is our justice system. The system seems to be a revolving door of degenerates like this seemingly career criminal. The man should not be dead,the trial should be well on its way and politics needs to stay out of it.
Please, who cares? He may have been a petty criminal, but these guys should not have taken the law into their own hands. The worst he could have been doing in the building was scoping it out to come back with a truck and take out the appliances or rip out some other building material, although it doesn’t seem to me that he had it together enough to do even that.
The guys who shot him should just have called the cops. It wasn’t a homicide in progress. I agree that he was shot by accident, and he probably did lunge for the gun (which is understandable) but they shouldn’t have been out there doing their own patrol anyway. Plus they seem to have had a grudge against him for earlier contacts, so that makes it even worse.
They didn’t intend for this to happen, but as an LE family member says, never carry a gun unless you’re ready to use it, and I think they probably didn’t intend to use it but the situation got away from them. Still, they should never have been there in the first place.
Outcome of arrest is not clear:
He got off with a defense of high anziety & some other such mental nonsense.
The father who was involved in the shooting was involved in the shoplifting case & recognized jogger on sight.
