Here is the Arbery shooting video unedited.
The SM lynch mob narrative is that two Georgia rednecks decided to hunt down and shoot them a n****r for jogging in their neighborhood.
Watch the video carefully and then return to this thread.

Watch the video carefully and then return to this thread.
The background to these events is that several breakins to cars and properties had occurred. Item reported stolen include $2,500 in fishing gear and a 9mm handgun stolen from a vehicle. On the morning in question Arbery was seen entering a property under construction. He did not
take anything or damage the property. It's still a criminal misdemeanor. A call was made to 9/11 reporting this event.
Police were responding, but it would not be a siren and lights priority. Three residents saw the suspect, armed themselves and got in a truck to pursue Arbery
Police were responding, but it would not be a siren and lights priority. Three residents saw the suspect, armed themselves and got in a truck to pursue Arbery
who was running down the street. They stated their intent was to stop him until police arrived. Greg McMichael, a retired career law enforcement officer knew Arbery personally, having been involved in Arbery's indictment in 2013 for bringing a firearm to a school. Arbery was not
a student at this school. This prior incident sheds some light on why they were armed. Arbery had a prior for illegal possession of a firearm, and a 9mm pistol had been recently stolen from a vehicle in the neighborhood. McMichael can plausibly claim he feared Arbery would be
armed. The video does not show Arbery fleeing to escape from three armed rednecks. It show him running towards them. It shows Arbery running to the right of the vehicle in the road,...And then making an abrupt 90° left turn across the front of the truck and moving 8-14 ft to
attack McMichaels 34yr old son who was armed with a shotgun. The video does not show the son 'brandishing' the weapon or pointing it at Arbery. Claims that he did so are invented. In the struggled that ensued over control of the shotgun, Arbery was shot 3 times, once in the right
palm and twice in the torso. The video does not show a cold blooded murder of "a jogger." It shows two men fighting over control of a deadly weapon. In a trial the Defense will be able to show that the rounds fired can be attributed to that struggle for control of the weapon
and not murderous rednecks bent on lynching a black man for jogging. The Defense will also be able to claim that no laws were broken by the three men in arming themselves and attempting to detain Arbery, but that the most serious crime occurred when Arbery turned and intiated
a fight with an armed man. Again, the video does not show Arbery running to escape the 3 men, but running towards them and a confrontation with them. This will matter very much in the trial.
I am not saying that Arbery deserved to die, but claims he was gunned down by racists
I am not saying that Arbery deserved to die, but claims he was gunned down by racists
for the crime of "jogging" in a white neighborhood are complete bullshit. Arbery lived in the neighborhood. It wasn't a "White Neighborhood." There is ZERO evidence that the 3 men were avowed racists or rednecks. McMichael was a retired investigator for the State Attorney.
I know people who do that work. These investigators "investigate" the evidence in cases before the SA, and the cops who gather it. To make sure it is properly obtained and handled. McMichael knows the law from the other side of things. When cops break laws to make arrests it
ruins prosecutions. He wasn't some hick with a pistol and a bad attitude.
This case reminds me of the Trevon Martin shooting, which was also portrayed as a racist killing a black child in cold blood. Zimmerman(who was actually Hispanic) was put on trial for his life for 2 years

only to see a jury come to the exact same conclusion the supposedly racist Sanford police had come to, that it was a killing in self defense. In that case, the first actual crime committed was when Martin doubled back on Zimmerman who had lost sight of him and attacked him.
As a result of the Zimmerman trial, Florida now requires the State to actually make a case for murder in self defense cases and not put people on trial for their lives because of public pressure or SM lynch mobs howling for blood of their own.
