Could it be otherwise? Sure. A young guy trespassing could just be curious about construction and could have gone from walking to full speed running while wearing baggy khakis and a bandanna around his neck and this could be considered "going jogging." Just reeks of a fitness nerd's usual regime. I know you hate common sense but jesus christ.
I'll take the video evidence over what he told his family. If I were going out looking for stuff to steal I wouldn't say "okay mum, going out stealing." That's assuming he even actually told anybody this and it isn't just a lie made up by the family so their dead loved one doesn't go to his grave perceived negatively by the world. "He woz a good boy" is a pretty common sentiment following one of these cases.
But hey, take his word over video evidence, you're definitely not engaging in narrative bias like you just accused me of.
You should know what abandoned means. Is your home abandoned every time you leave it for work? Theft and vandalism of construction sites costs thousands of dollars per year, yet people think at best it's perfectly fine to trespass to take a look (a common thing apparently going by Twitter and Youtube reactions to this) or at worst it's okay to trespass as long as nothing was stolen.
This property isn't even comparable to some mall funded by a corporation and the local government, this is a house under construction where the owner felt it necessary to come out of pocket to set up security cameras. Gee I wonder why.
You see it as a minor infraction of trespassing, I see it as him being caught in the process of potentially stealing from it. It's not like he strolled around the site and then left as he arrived, he fucking
FLED dummy.
And the only people fictionalizing the story are the ones saying he was an innocent jogger murdered for being black in a white hood. None of the details support this framing. Also I understand they rolled up with guns first, I'm talking about the beginning of actual physical interaction. As Tech already said, they were well within their rights to openly carry firearms, ya boy wasn't within his rights to try and disarm them.
You're acting as if they rolled up on him from out the fucking shadows lmao.
I know what I'd expect a guy caught trespassing and had 911 called on him would do as he flees down the road full speed only to be confronted by two armed citizens aware of trespassing in the area. Do
anything he can to not get caught, especially because he had priors.
You're acting like this is Mississippi Burning.
Yeah they should have tried to arrest a potential criminal a lot younger than them disarmed in a state that gives them full rights to be openly armed for their own safety. I know this is a oft repeated meme but you really do seem like a sheltered halfwit.
