I see. Considering how one-sided and closeminded your posts are, I am not going to sweat it.

Without providing sources to your claims after they are requested, I can only assume you are a bad faith actor. You wrote that the home owner had Arbery on video seven times since Oct 2019 and that he showed these videos to the McMichael's and asked them to keep a lookout. There are reports that directly contradict your claims, some of which I have posted that you have ignored, so I again ask, what are your sources for this information?
Stephan Molyneaux showed four additional video clips where they have Arbery roaming through that unfinished house at different points in time. In his blog he claims that there are seven instances where Arbery was on video. I have been looking for the source where he found those clips in order to post all seven. I haven't been able to find it yet. You can watch Molyneaux's blog to see the additional four that he found.

I've asked for sources three times from three different people in this thread and I get nothing.
There is a difference between an on-duty officer and a retired one. You're quoting his experience and yet an unarmed black man was murdered as a direct result of his actions, so I question his judgement and experience. You claim the fact that he's ex-LEO is evidence that he did everything right and because he did everything right, the DA had no case, which leads me to the conclusion that you believe these men are innocent and the killing justified. You even purport that these men will get off scot-free so how can you assert, as you did in an earlier post, that you are not on the McMichael's side?
That's not what I said. I didn't say that McMichael did everything perfectly right. I said because of his LE experience, he probably is/was very aware of what actions by Arbery would surpass the minimum threshold needed to use lethal force. There is a large distinction between, "minimum threshold" and "everything right"
Please stop moving the goal posts or I will take you less seriously than I already am.
I am not on the McMichael's side. I think they should have left the guns in the truck when they went to cut him off. I also think that the shooter should have yelled, "stop. or I'll shoot!" You could make an arugment that they believed that Arbery was in possession of the stolen handgun out of their truck in January, but personally, I believe they took the guns out of the truck to scare Arbery into stop running until the police showed up.
But when Arbery runs around the truck and attacks younger mcmichael and tries to wrestle the gun out of the hands, that's it, the mcmichaels now have a very strong self-defense argument. Now a strong defense can be made that Arbery's intent is to take the gun and shoot them. If Arbery was so scared that they were going to shoot him, couldn't he have just put his hands over his head and said, "don't shoot. I am not doing anything wrong." Or even, "ya'll need to leave me alone. I don't have a gun and you need to put yours away."
I think Arbery ran around the truck and tried to get the jump on the one with the shotgun because he didn't want to wait around until the police showed up because he probably saw the camera in the unfinished house and he was worried that they could at least arrest him trespassing or something.

Your video of a maga-country ex-cop doesn't exonerate them of racial profiling just because he happens to be black or an ex-cop and the information provided actually contradicts your previous statement as to what occurred prior to the altercation. After hearing a longer version of the 911 recording, they did know that he entered the property under construction, but when asked if he was breaking in, they said he wasn't.
maga-country ex-cop? Who is racist now?
You are playing word games here. No, technically he wasn't breaking in because there was no door or lock or window to break into. But, do you think that he was roaming around the house with the owner's permission? Or do you think that owner put those cameras up because it made him happy to see strangers walk around his unfinished house. "Breaking in" is a specific act that requires some structural barrier to break into. In this case there was none. The fact that McMichael made the specific distinction in his 911 call gives more credit as to his rational state of mind and credentials as a competent LE officer. If McMichael tells the dispatcher that Arbery is in fact breaking in and then when the officers show up and find no break in, that does not give McMichael much credibility.

When asked what Arbery was doing wrong, the caller says that Arbery was caught on camera a bunch of times at night and that it's been an on going thing in the neighborhood, which is the reason they pursued him brandishing weapons. But, as I've stated before, according to Lieutenant of Glynn County Police, there were no such series of break-ins in that neighborhood.
You are playing more word games. There was no police reports of break ins. That doesn't mean that the owner of the house and the mcmichaels hadn't witnessed or seen video of Arbery doing exactly what they said he had been doing. Just because they don't make a police report of him roaming around doesn't mean it didn't happen.

There had only been a 9mm pistol stolen Jan 1 from an unlocked truck outside the McMichael's home. Without video evidence of Arbery stealing, this is still very much racial profiling in my eyes because their actions were predicated on their being video surveillance of Arbery burglarizing property.
Per your request, I've proven you wrong by showing that the media disproportionately cares more about a white person dying in any way shape or form than any other race when it isn't racially motivated. To see your selective outrage, as well as, somigosaden and LDLC's is very telling about what kind of people you are, but at least you're not resting your case on Arbery running in Timberlands like somigosaden is. Itshot and kelhus kind of get a pass here on not being racists pos because they always do this, even though they are wrong a majority of the time.
The only outrage I have is how gullible people are for allowing the corporate media to dictate to them that the whole thing is all about racism. All of the stupid idiotic hyperbole of "hunted him down like an animal" and such. It appeals to the lowest common denominator who seem to be several IQ points short of compiling all the facts and apportioning out responsibility based on such, but instead, relying on catch phrases and idiotic memes to determine culpability.
I mean if you really want to apply an "ism" that the Mcmichaels are guilty of, you could argue that they never would have been so hostile if the person that was roaming around was a female. I seriously doubt that they would have been so aggressive if the person on video was a pretty young girl. There you go. I just gave you an "ism" that I believe the mcmichaels are completely guilty of. Sexism. Run with that one.
But do I think that they would have been just as aggressive and vigilant with a white dude? Absolutely. I don't think that they would have done anything different. And would a shooting like be spammed all over national news broadcasts for multiple days? Hell no. But that dumb look on younger McMichael's face is just too much racebaiting candy for the corporate media to pass up on.
But this claim of racism is made up bullshit. It's just a tool that the corporate media and the billionaire class use to divide us against each other. And it seems that a certain percentage of the population loves to fall for it.
