25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery became a national icon after being shot dead in Georgia after trying to wrestle a firearm away from concerned citizens last year.
Court documents in the murder trial of Travis and Greg McMichael indicate that Arbery was known as the “jogger” because he regularly acted like he was on a run as he committed robberies through town.
“In 2019 and 2020, local convenience store witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery became known as “the jogger” for his repeated conduct and behavior of running up, stretching in front in, and then entering several convenience stores where he would grab items and run out before he could be caught,” the court documents read.
There is apparently video evidence of Arbery engaging in this type of behavior too.
“On August 21, 2018, Burke County witness reports and Burke County Office body cam video reveals Mr. Arbery was caught by a stay-at-home mom who saw him in her backyard looking into the windows of her cars. She called police who found Mr. Arbery at his grandmother’s residence,” the court documents state.
“Police officers arrived to give Mr. Arbery a trespass warning about his conduct and behavior. When confronted by officers about the eye-witness report, he lied and said he had “gone running in the street,” and then became aggressive, confrontational, and repeatedly threatened he would “whip the officer’s ass” if they didn’t leave him alone. He was not arrested,” they continue.
The court documents paint the picture of Arbery as a serial criminal who was coddled by a weak criminal justice system increasingly gamed to let thugs terrorize property owners.
“In 2019 and 2020, witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery was seen by his own neighbors, removing screen from windows and trying [to] enter their homes through the windows. When confronted by the neighbors about his conduct and behavior, he appeared “nervous or agitated” and “trying to figure out where to go.” Then he said he was interested in buy[ing] the house but “took off running.” On the second occasion, the home owner observed Arbery trying to gain entrance through a door. They again tried to talk to Mr. Arbery but he would not speak or say anything, he simply ran away,” the court documents read.
The individuals who fell for this obvious hoax should be feeling pretty foolish right now. Unfortunately, they will never even acknowledge what really occurred and continue believing the...

This was known from the start. The first week of the shooting, news outfits talked to neighbors who said he was known in the area for going into houses under construction to look for tools to steal. The shooting did not have to happen, local law enforcement should have done their job.
At this point, have any of the "victims" turned out to be good people?
