OK, given that one doesn’t get to shoot a burglar running away from the scene of a crime, Arbery is no longer an innocent ‘jogger’. The fact that he brought a gun to a high school basketball game years earlier doesn’t help the shooters either, but Mr Arbery is starting to look more like Ferguson’s ‘gentle giant’ than say Rosa Parks.

You are making a strawman argument. Obviously, even the POLICE can’t shoot a burglar running from the scene. The LEGAL issue is, did the McMichaels have a right to pursue a fleeing burglary suspect? Answer: Yes. Next, did they have a right to impede him, detain him, ask him to stop, and even arrest him? Yes. This video clearly shows:
1) Arbery was NOT jogging when he arrived in front of this home.
2) Arbery looked around to see “if the coast was clear” before entering the house.
3) Arbery went through, the garage door, side door, and front door and was in the house for four minutes.
4) Arbery, apparently seeing the neighbor on his phone, bolted down the street—I mean, you can barely SEE HIM he ran so fast.
This is PROBABLE CAUSE under any definition. And, btw, Arbery charged at younger McMichael and tried to grab his shotgun. Not guilty

And a related Post article reports a guy that video’d the event has received death threats by St Jogger’s supporters. And they report he is a person of interest and under investigation and an arrest is imminent.

Such nonsense makes one go “hmmmmm. . .”
