Plus, day-by-day for my own edification, I attempt to observe everything in the broad sweep of the millenia of man's existence.

As stated:

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV) "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

“for what reason were they ‘detaining’ him for the cops...? they had not witnessed him committing any sort of crime...”

I think trespassing is a crime.

“That they murdered Arbery will be estabished by trial.”

Only if there is a hideous miscarriage of justice. Which is not outside the realm of possibility.

How do we sleep at night knowing two idoits killed a man for a stupid reason.

They had a very good reason. That violent thug attacked the man with the shotgun and tried to take it away from him.

That is a f***ing *VERY GOOD REASON* to shoot that stupid criminal.

not in other shots they don’t, but the boots remain darker looking in all the photos I’ve seen, plus they look taller than the short sneakers he had on- in all the shots- and larger, gommier than the sneakers he wore inside the home illegally- The shorts issue is a lighting issue-

You look at him running up the street here- the shorts are the same lighter gray but you can see the shoes are taller than the sneakers he had on in house illegally and looked darker—

please...millions of people do exactly that, and don’t hear a peep from cops or site construction personnel...

No idea where you live, but civilians just wandering into a construction site?? The liability issues alone! No, sorry, I have never seen that sort of behavior before in law-abiding citizens.

It never is when there's a jury trial. They could be convicted. They could get off. Either outcome will be a miscarriage of justice to someone.

Yes, but some of those people will be wrong. Objective reality exists.

CNN paints an angel sacrificed by three klansmen obsessively searching days and nights for a colored man lynching.

So what’s the real deal with this “jogger”?

Vigilantism is a dumbass move especially if the person at worst was doing a stakeout to look for places to rob, at best the wrong place, wrong time.....

So you think it's OK to chase and then shoot someone that simply was in the neighborhood looking hinckey?

I shed no tears for him, once he went for the gun all bets are off, never should have gotten that far.

The assertion of "Vigilantism" is what too many people are focusing on, and it is irrelevant to the salient aspect of this case. The salient aspect of this case is that one man physically attacked another, and the man being attacked had a shotgun over which a struggle for life and death ensued.

The man holding the shotgun eventually overcame and shot the man struggling to take it away from him, and did so consistent with the well known concept of "Self Defense" within the law.

So you think it's OK to chase and then shoot someone that simply was in the neighborhood looking hinckey?

Firstly, they did not "chase" him. They parked in the street leading to the exit from the neighborhood and waited for him to show up, which he eventually did.

Secondly, they were not interested in him because he happened to be running while black. They were interested in him because they recognized him from previous videos they had seen of a man going into that house and stealing things. He had also been spotted several times in the neighborhood at night in between the houses where he didn't belong.

He was caught on video in October, in December, in January and in February, and in that neighborhood there was $2,400.00 worth of fishing equipment stolen, a purse and a handgun during this same period.

Now it is possible there was another thief, but the reasonable man would regard this as unlikely, and the man caught on video was *THE* thief they were looking for.

I shed no tears for him, once he went for the gun all bets are off, never should have gotten that far.

He never should have attacked the man with the gun. That is suicide, especially if the gun is a shotgun.

That is your opinion. But the fact is that the three thugs who attacked him are facing murder charges.

That’s a fact.

There is a neighbor who lives across from his mom that stated she saw him jog fairly regularly.

Some people actually do jog

Act like a thug, be called a thug, that is how it works. Of course they are guilty, innocent people don’t need their buddies in the DA office to make it go away....
