I don& #39;t know where I fall on the Ahmaud Arbery story, honesty. These things could go either way. But I do know that tweets like LeBron James& #39; "we& #39;re hunted everyday" are complete BS and only heighten racial tension. https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1258156220969398272">https://twitter.com/KingJames...
We NEVER hear about stories of white people being murdered by another race and if people believe (as some of these clowns seriously do) that& #39;s because it never happens...they& #39;re morons.
"In December 2013, Arbery was arrested by Glynn County Schools Police after bringing a handgun into the Brunswick High gym during a basketball game with rival Glynn Academy... Arbery, then 19, ran when a schools police officer saw the .380 caliber handgun in his waistband."
"Arbery also was placed on probation for a 2018 shoplifting arrest, according to county court records."

For the sake of adding some background. But again, without seeing what other evidence they have (apparently home security cameras/construction site cameras), I don& #39;t know.
One interesting thing is that its pretty impossible to find a story about Arbery bringing that gun to the gym. Hard to believe that if a white kid did the same it wouldn& #39;t make the news. But the only references about him prior to this story date to 2011 re: hs football.
More than anything, the question I want answered is whether or not Arbery had a car nearby and what sort of shoes he was wearing.

The video is too grainy to tell whether those are timbs or basketball shoes.
And the whole media "out for a jog" parroting is dumb too. I don& #39;t know how many stories reference English, but I& #39;m assuming most of them leave his statement out of it.
I& #39;ve seen some people cite "12 miles" as the distance Arbery was from his house. I don& #39;t know where that figure is coming from since I can& #39;t find it anywhere myself. Any help would be appreciated.
But in the meantime, here& #39;s the alternative take. As always, social media offers little more than conflicting information.
And if it does turn out that Arbery really was just out for a jog, that his meddling in a construction site was just "curiosity" as his family says...this still isn& #39;t murder, like it or not. Manslaughter? Probably a stronger case for that.
Updating this thread with the screens of (allegedly) Arbery seemingly casing the place at night. Just something one does when out for a jog. If the guys properly ID& #39;d him as the burglar, this shouldn& #39;t even be manslaughter.
