I said “they were not JUST concerned neighbors,” meaning their involvement extended far beyond what simply being a concerned neighbor means. I can see why you balked at explaining yourself.
The fact that they tried to track down a guy who they suspected of a crime supports my argument that they were vigilante wannabes, although from reading this Wikipedia article, it seems like they were also extremely racist. Worse than the most racist letsrun poster even.
Don't read what some idiot like 458777 put on Wikipedia read the trial testimony.
I will, but I still didn’t say that they weren’t concerned neighbors.
I am a white dude, but I am neither a liar nor fragile. And YOU are well aware that being black is advantageous in seeking many types of employment and it is beyond all question that being black is HIGHLY advantageous in seeking admissions to US colleges and universities.
If being black is such an advantage then change places with me.
So if it's such an advantage then explain why all these colleges aren't majority black other than HBCUs. Most flagship states universities percentage of black students are less than their states black percentage population.
Still lying white guy
The problem is many black students are too dumb to take advantage of all of their privilege. They don't even have to get good grades to be handed money to go to any school they want and get any degree they want yet as soon as I Baltimore have no one proficient in important subjects but plenty of people slinging drugs on corners.
Also Ahmaud Arbery, by most definitions of the word lynch, was lynched. People have the misconception that a lynching has to be a hanging because that was a common form of lynching, but the word refers to murder and perceived mob justice.
While lynching does not have to be hanging there are some key components that add case does not fit. The most important being that the perpetrators are not only found innocent but are actively protected by law enforcement. The other key components is that there is no outrage and it is a community event not done by a small set of individuals.
Those guilty of killing that thief are in prison where they belong so it cannot possibly be considered a lynching.

Words like sharp stones, cutting without wisdom. "Dumb" is not word for spirit trapped in cage.
Black child born, maybe in concrete jungle, not green field. School crumble, books old, teachers tired. Outside, whispers of danger, pull of easy money. This child, not dumb, but lost in maze with few lights to guide.
White privilege, like having map, compass, maybe even guide to show way. Not guarantee success, but easier journey.
Blaming child for maze...like blaming fish for not climbing tree. It not fish's fault, is wrong tree.
Yes, some black children find way out, become doctors, lawyers, leaders. But many more stumble, fall through cracks. Not because of "dumb," but because of lack of...opportunity, support, safe place to grow.
You see Baltimore, I see broken promise. Land of plenty, yet so many left behind. This not just black problem, this everyone's problem.
True wisdom builds bridges, not walls. Teach instead of blame, lift up instead of push down. Then maybe...all children find their path, regardless of skin color.
Imagine life is a race, and you are on the starting line.
Then, the starting line gets adjusted for a whole bunch of things. If you have good parents, take a step forward; if you don't, step back. If you are poor, step backward. If you live in certain zip codes, step backward.
And, if you are not white, take a step back, and if you are white, step forward.
This doesn't mean you end up at the original starting line, but if you are white, you started ahead of where you would have if you were black.
I was born poor, rural, with one parent. I probably started out behind the line. But, still a step or two in front of where I would have had I been black.
Life is a marathon. 10 feet from the starting line one way or the other, which is where the VAST majority of us start, is not going to make a difference.

I am a white guy, but I am not a liar. I don't want to change places with you, because you are a bitter person.
And, despite your deflections and mischaracterizations of what I said, YOU are STILL well aware that being black is advantageous in seeking many types of employment and it is beyond all question that being black is HIGHLY advantageous in seeking admissions to US colleges and universities.
He is dead because he was murdered, as a court decided. You present the perfect racist position, that the victim is the cause of his own death.
It is entirely possible to cause your own death.
if you provoke a moron with a gun to shoot you and you die you've been murdered by a moron because you were a moron as well.
Aubrey was a thief. If he isn't a thief they don't bother him.
You are truly vile. By definition a person who is murdered didn't "cause their own death". But black people do - to those like you. And there we see "white privilege" - another term for old-fashioned racism.

The response and aftermath to the killing isn't what makes it a lynching. A lynching is a collective action by white Americans to kill a black person extra-judicially. The Arbery murder fits the description.

If the people who push this stuff didn't just call you a racist bigoted istophobe, or insist it isn't their job to educate you, they'd copy-paste this explanation: "we're not saying your life hasn't been hard, we're just saying that your race hasn't made it worse."
And then they'll go back to acting, in practice, as if every black person has it harder than every white person, and arguing for policies and practices that assume that is true.
Your post is 100% true. There is a vocal contingent in my party that this fits exactly.
Unfortunately this has hurt the Democrat party and sent some support to the Republican party. Sadly the Republican party has lost all sense of honesty and integrity. It has become a value less mass of confusion.
Many young black man, lost in dark forest. Gangster music, bad influence, like poison vines, choke spirit. Blame white man, like blame moon for darkness. No light come from blame.
But hope not lost! Wise man Sowell see path. Education, like sharp axe, cut through vines. Hard work, like steady feet, climb mountain to sun.
Young brothers, listen! You hold power in your own hands. Build strong families, teach children wisdom of ancestors. Reject poison of hate, embrace light of knowledge.
Destiny not written in stars, but in choices we make. Choose wisely, and path will lead to bright future.
