Anybody believe the "just out for a jog' stance?

Quote:The lawyers representing the Arbery family -- Lee Merritt, Ben Crump and Chris Stewart -- released a statement saying the new video does not change the version of events outlined by the family leading up to Arbery's shooting.

"Our office has reviewed the surveillance video which appears to show a person, believed to be Ahmaud Arbery, entering a property under construction. The individual remains on the property for under 3 minutes before continuing to jog down the road," the lawyers said in a joint statement Saturday. "This video is consistent with the evidence already known to us. Ahmaud Arbery was out for a jog. He stopped by a property under construction where he engaged in no illegal activity and remained for only a brief period. Ahmaud did not take anything from the construction site. He did not cause any damage to the property. He remained for a brief period of time and was not instructed by anyone to leave but rather left on his own accord to continue his jog."

"Ahmaud’s actions at this empty home under construction were in no way a felony under Georgia law," the statement continued. "This video confirms that Mr. Arbery’s murder was not justified and the actions of the men who pursued him and ambushed him were unjustified. We reiterate, Ahmaud Arbery did not take part in ANY felony, had no illegal substances in his system, was not armed yet was shot three times with a shotgun at close range."

Tell us what you believe.

Believe everything the white guys say and call the black victim a liar, right?

The trespassing argument serves as something to create doubt as to whether the McMichaels were justified in killing Arbery.  It's an "oh gee look at all the overreacting libz, OMG!!!"  That's literally it's only purpose.  Let's all forget that this man was hunted and killed in the street and focus on the real problem, which is always something other than the actual murder, isn't it?

I don't care if he stopped and took a dump at the construction site.  That changes virtually nothing about the reasons for the detention/killing.  Like literally zero.

You yourself say it he shouldn't have been killed over it so why would a "conservative" even bring it up?

Hint: We know why.

Is there a difference between:

They shot him because they thought he was robbing homes in the area and he was found entering one under construction

or

They shot him just because he was jogging down the street

We have seen acts of violence flair up in places like Ferguson over a false narrative. It'd most likely to be able to nip this one in the bud if possible.

Answer that or STFU.

They were the only ones who made that claim.


Now explain why you thought there was a rash of break ins in that neighborhood.  If you have been looking for the truth you will give an answer, but it seems like you are just looking to excuse the actions of the killers.

Actually the mother said he was most likely just out for a jog
