[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is now video evidence of Mr. Arbery’s time inside the construction site that is under review by the GBI. A very short clip can be seen here. https://www.news4jax.com/news/georgia/2020/05/09/gbi-reviewing-additional-video-in-case-of-ahmaud-arbery/

Regardless of what Mr. Arbery was doing there, it is very clear that this is a construction site. It is not uncommon at all for people (because we are nosey) yo venture into construction sites. In fact while my home was under construction people did it all the time, my neighbor (who is a realtor) used it as an opportunity to garner clients.

What is actually especially telling is a lesser known case that happened earlier this week where a former NBA player was arrested and charged with aggravated assault when he detained and shot at (no injuries were reported) two individuals who trespassed onto his property and entered his home. That story can be found here. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/former-laker-shannon-brown-arrested-after-allegedly-firing-rifle-at-couple-after-misunderstanding-in-his-home/

This also happened in Georgia, yet he was immediately arrested and charged when these other two men where not. It’s rare that two so strikingly similar incidents happen so close together. It’s hard not to see why people are so outraged. Black people in this country are chronically under suspicion for any and everything and more often than not, white people are given the benefit it of the doubt. This is America, this is racist, and this is just part of what needs to change.[/quote]

I am a black woman and I'm a runner.  Whenever I come upon a construction site of a new house, I usually stop and look inside.  I'm curious.  A lot of us do that.  That is not criminal.  I also go around cars and trucks.  Also not unusual.  What was he supposed to do.  If you are stopped and have a shot gun, what that hell am I supposed to do?  I'm going to be scared as hell.  Who does that?  I'm not going to stop just because you tell me to stop.  I'm going to think that you are a lunatic.  I don't have to show you my freedom papers.  This is not 1850 Georgia.[/quote]

Yup. People do this all the time.  [/quote]

Actually that is trespassing and illegal, I know no one that does this, what if you get injured[/quote]
