Sure did.

That means there's hope for even someone like you. Hang in there!

You don't know much about construction, do you? Tim Pool is correct. Homes like this at that stage get hit all the time. I worked with a kid whose parents regularly hit homes under construction all the time and sold the stolen materials for big money.

You're quite naive if you think this guy was there for any reason other than to jack what he could. Like Pool, I would also be curious what those two items were that were lying in the road.

You're also making the mistake of placing your mind in the body of the dead guy. There is one comoon denominator with habitual criminals: they're dumb. They get caught over and over again. This one thought it smart to keep hitting the same white neighborhood, apparently. In his mind, who knows what he thought he might find and what he might bring home to sell?

On the other video it looks like he was in there trying to see if there was something worth stealing. So he WAS acting suspicious and I can see why they tried to stop him.

Hence, they likely mistook him for the previous burglar caught on video, and it appears the two were not the same people.

I just thought my idea, that this guy is unstoppable as a petty criminal was worth posting. It's hard to know how many acts he's just run from, and there's no way to catch him. It's almost comic watching him run down that street away from the house he had entered - like watching Forest Gump in the football scene.
There's a report out there that the elder McMichael addressed him by his first name. This is explainable because he apparently had investigated the dead man for a past offense and had recognized his face from the surveillance video from the past neighborhood incident.

I would hope my neighbors would follow someone who fled my house after trespassing or breaking in. I don't want them to bring a gun because you can see what might happen, though. I would do the same for them. Without this, your community begins to degenerate into one of these urban crapholes where crime is rampant and where safety is always someone else's responsibility.

If that's true, that's interesting - because apparently he believed Arbery to be the same one in the previous break in, although that appears untrue.

Also, I watched and listened to the videos, and didn't ever hear that, but I could have missed it.

Yeah. Unbelievable what the lying liberal media can get away with. I guess that means I can enter the reporters home in the middle of the day and they won't call the cops or say I broke any law.

I worked for years in new home construction, know quite a bit about it, lol. My uncle (who i also worked with) is/was a new home builder out in the midwest also, those lovely developments with all of four floor plans.

Yes, construction gets hit, however, you got to have tools and transport to do it. Copper needs tools to get ripped out of walls, appliances need tools to take out, various material like tile, shingles, heavy as heck, all of that needs a car to transport it. If a contractor happens to leave a tool, that is one hell of a dice roll to think someone left something of any value behind.

Again, he had no car, where is his car? Where are his tools? Show me this please, my mind can be changed based on new evidence. SO far all I see is a curious person, which having done construction for years, is not uncommon at all.

It doesn't show that they were chasing him, and if he was a good runner, he would be running MUCH faster than in this video and he would have run off the road where the truck wouldn't be able to go. It shows he ran up to the truck that was already stopped in the road and they just wanted to talk to him (maybe they were rude and disrespectful or he felt they were idk or he was a criminal and knew they were onto him) but in any case he started the violent attack. That's what it looks like from the video.

The liberal media would have you believe that he was running for his life as fast as he could with the men trying to chase him down, then desperately tried to defend himself. Just like the media had people believing Michael Brown was on the knees with his hands in the air pleading for his life and the police shot him down in cold blood execution style.
