    Honest question: What are you hoping to achieve or to prove with this line of posting that you're taken here?

    How ever you want to frame it some violent racist losers though a black guy was a problem for doing nothing abnormal or harmful to anyone, especially to themselves. Probably shit they've done themselves at some point themselves. And you are taking their side ... why exactly?

    At least that poster hasn’t gone with the “Ahmaud Arbery didn’t die from a gunshot wound, he overdosed on crack cocaine” defense.

    Yet.

    Was this accusation presented at their trial or just something you read? There is a huge difference between the two…

    For the record, there was no evidence presented at the trial proving that Arbery had been casing, trespassing, vandalizing, or stealing property in that neighborhood.

    What was presented at the trial was a lot of evidence of the attacker’s racist views

    I've been in discussions regarding Arbery before. I'm just surprised to hear that there are people who don't realize he was videoed inside of the construction. It was a big part of the coverage.

    If you're offended at having to listen to another point of view, maybe messageboards aren't a good place for you.

    I'm fine on message boards, but I appreciate your concern.

    OK, he was videoed at a contruction site. Heard. Can you expand on the relevance of this?

    I don't remember this part for sure. Are you telling me that the jury didn't see the video of Arbery being in the house?

    This discussion was earlier in the thread.

    There had been thefts in the area from construction sites.

    Arbery was chased from inside a construction site.

    2+2=?

    People go into houses under construction pretty often. My wife have done it when we’re out for a walk. He’s not the first person to go check out that house, either.

    So does 2+2 = a black guy in the area must be a criminal for you?

    True again, there had been thefts in the area.

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by your equation?

    Can we assume the first "2" represents recent thefts and the second "2" represents Arbery's presence? What does the "?" mean?

    I was hoping you would put those two facts together on your own. Then you could see the connection.

    Connection? Can you arrange them in a way that isnt merely coincidental?

    If you were out for a walk in a neighborhood that was not yours, you would go inside other people's under-construction houses?

    And then run away when you're discovered?

    I really shouldn't have to put them together for you.

    Imagine if you'd had a string of car thefts in your neighborhood and you saw some guy checking doors. Can you get that connection?

    Now you are just resorting unrelated hypotheticals, I asked you about the facts (or really the set of coincidences) here and what they meant, you are asking what other people would do ... it seems like maybe you need someone to explain that to you ...

    Yes, and no.
    This story doesn’t mention him running out of the house. He went, ad others have done, looked around for a couple of minutes and left.

    Ultimately what does any of this matter unless you are arguing the racist bozos who killed him acted reasonably? Is that what you are doing? Like their lawyers couldnt even do that successfully ...
