Wrong. Besides I have seen film of his walking prior to being scared away by the man across the street. And he sure wasn't running inside the house. I'm not taking up for the white boys but just saying it is a good idea to watch out for what a walking or jogging stranger may be up to. You know, neighborhood watch. You reckon I might get some hostile attention if I were go on a pedestrian tour of the burned out sections of Detroit or public housing in Chicago or New Orleans?



There are lots of jog-walk routines out there. I always thought they were conditioning strategies and never realized they were really "casing" strategies. Is "casing" a crime, BTW?

Where is this video of him walking and being shooed away by the neighbor. Share the link, please.

I don't know how to share a link but the Atlanta Journal AJC has a video that shows Mr. Arbery walking onto the property and into the house and then an interested neighbor from across the road walks out to the road. Probably the first one that called police. No audio but Arbery comes out sees the man and takes off at a run down the street. People cruise neighborhoods on foot all the time for all kinds of reasons. Casing for purposes of recon for coming back to steal is an unprovable crime but it is always good to let strangers know they are being watched. Not a good idea to chase one down and get into a life and death struggle over a weapon. We were taught that weapon retention was to be done at all costs. That's why I carry well concealed and don't brandish. Jr. was absolutely fighting for his life in trying to retain his weapon but I believe he will be faulted for starting this encounter.

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
