Owner of half-built house says Arbery committed no crime checking it out, denounces killers

And regardless of it being a crime or not it still wouldn’t in a million years justify some rando racists running him down and shooting him to death.

I would hope that this goes without saying.

We and nearly every one of our neighbors would go into houses while they were being framed exactly like Arbery did.

When I was a kid, we used to routinely raid local construction sites and steal drywall to smash up and use as chalk.

Never got in trouble for it, but of course: I’m white.

Construction tourists are a fact of life unless you have a fully fenced site.

I bet many of the neighborhood residents had also entered the construction site to “see what’s happening”.

We have a justice system that we’ve all agreed is a better way to handle this sort of thing

Yeah, see, there’s your problem: you think Real Americans™ believe all that Founding Father mumbo-jumbo? The laws are to trap everyone else; they don’t apply to the white right sort.

The fact that he felt safe enough to try that experiment – in a neighborhood that actually HAD had recent break-ins – says everything.

Pretty much.

His neighbors smiled and waved, FFS…
