Nope, there are just some Black people in the USA that just love to be the victim and are truly racist against whitey and have been frothing at the mouth to pounce on white people for a while and here is their chance. Of course, I believe this story about as much as I believe the official story of 9/11 or if Sandy Hook even really happened.

That's quite a leap, there. I don't see how the two are connected.

The video is heinous. It's insane that these two weren't arrested and charged earlier.

How about you stop deflecting. This thread is about this shooting, specifically.

You want to talk about black/black crime - start a thread about it.

Shouldn't have to say that, should be automatic.
Couldn't rep you again, yet.

They created the situation through their improper behavior. They’re responsible for the result.

They’ve finally been arrested, as they should’ve been from the start.
It was in the police report that he was running down the street. Doesn't necessarily make him a jogger. Just as likely it makes him someone fleeing the scene of a crime. In fact, more likely given what we know at this stage.

I agree with most of the rest of what you say. Except I don't think they bear full responsibility for the end result.

If the deceased didn't charge at him, attempted to disarm him and beat him around the head, he is most likely still alive. Murder is overcharging. Hopefully the prosecutors learn from the mistake of the Trayvon Martin prosecutors.

Arbery's choice to charge and attack an armed man also seems pretty bad though. His mental health history may have been part of that decision.
How can anyone say how they would react in that scenario if they'd never been involved in that type of confrontation before?

In the heat of the moment, people don't always react reasonably.

In 2013 Ahmaud Arbery was arrested for attempting to enter a high school basketball game with a loaded handgun.




He also has prior convictions for shoplifting as well.
Some news sources state the he may have had mental issues.


My conclusion:
The two neighborhood guys should have stayed in their truck and not confronted Arbery.
They should have waited for police to arrive and handle the sitaution.

That has been the fear of some whites....EVER SINCE SLAVERY? It's the centuries old fear of a black PAYBACK. It's born from GUILT and FEAR. If blacks were never really wronged.....people would not have this fear. It's Americas conscious eating away at it causing it to look over its shoulder and hearing footsteps behind it.....when there is no one there.

As usual they will charge them with one of the many different types of murder or homicide charges where a jury won't be able to convict them under the instructions of the judge. The black people in the community will have that look like child whose ice cream just slipped off the cone and fell in the dirt. This is the south, yes?
