I don’t know how it went down. That is why I am looking at the details.
“Stealing from us.... “ I’ve seen very few comments on this. Travis McMichael had a pistol stolen from his truck a few months earlier. I have seen NOTHING that indicates they knew who stole the pistol.
The guy who owned the construction house said he had nothing stolen.
So how did McMichael come to the conclusion that Arbery was a burglar? A trespasser is not a burglar. Did he assume Arbery was the one who stole the pistol? Did he make a leap. 2+2=5.
That's bullsh*t. He reported theft of $2,400.00 in fishing equipment. He installed the camera system because of ongoing theft issues. He complained to police, and a detective gave him the name of Gregory McMichael and told him to call him if anything happened because he was a law enforcement officer that lived in the neighborhood. A freeper posted a copy of the instagram message last week.
The owner is just trying to keep from getting dragged into this clusterf***. So far as i'm concerned, they have just as much reason to arrest the owner as they did the video guy.
And the theft of the gun wasn't a "few months earlier", it was like a couple of weeks earlier. It was in January.
That is what I have speculated, when McMichael was telling Arbery to “drop it” on the 911 call, they believed he was armed. Why? Because Fake Cop Junior left his hand gun in his truck and it got stolen.
I believe that is why he gunned down Arbery, it was retribution for the stolen gun. I believe that is why Daddy Dumb Cop searched the body, looking for his son’s gun. But it was never recovered.
Now they are claiming “self defense” on a “arrest” they screwed up with emotions about a stolen gun.
