1st time I have seen that report on the fishing stuff. I have read two different articles where he said nothing had been stolen from the house.
I thought it was 2 months earlier. Weeks? 2? 4? 6? It was recent, no argument there.
Again, I have yet to see a video where Arbery took anything. I’m not calling him a saint. I’m wondering why McMichael was convinced he was the burglar and thought he was armed.
I have read that the elder McMichael worked the shoplifting case and knew of him. Arbery's brother is also a convicted felon, and perhaps he knew the brother as well.
Also, Travis McMichael had a handgun stolen from his truck sometime in January, and supposing there was only one thief, it's a sensible policy to assume this guy is the one who stole it, and might be carrying it on him.
The Elder McMichael said he saw a video of Arbery stuffing something in his pants, and he said he thought it could be a weapon.
We’ll have to see what comes out in the trial. I am intrigued about the object (hammer?) lying in the road as Bryan drives up to the scene.
