[@styner3]

As a retired cop, let me tell everyone…people that steal always have a bag/backpack. It’s a must to hide and carry what they have stolen. He was two miles from home on foot, he can’t carry much of anything from a construction site in his shorts. The home builder told the dad in front of the police he didn’t see him steal anything on camera, these guys just hated seeing him in their neighborhood.

[@sueprice3315]

Hearing this whole thing all the way through is really impressive. She gets Travis to admit that Arbery did nothing but run away from them. He did not say anything at all, or do anything threatening. At the end of the encounter, Arbery was coming toward him, but she noted that he was running away from Roddie, so Travis saying that he saw this person as a threat who had been running away from them for 5 minutes, sounded ludicrous. And then she had the series of questions of "you could have_____", all things that Travis could have done which would have prevented the shooting. Travis acknowledged "I could have" to all the things she said, and his excuses for why he didn't were laughable. He really did convict himself, with help from her.

The people who generally live in the area where new homes are built also live in newer homes and don’t need to run around stealing from their neighbors. Frankly, I’ve walked through a couple of open construction sites just because it’s kinda interesting to watch the process of a new home being built.
