reported that Arbery was hit with one of those pickup trucks as well as being shot and killed.

What is it in their psyche that allows them to get to such vile, low depths of depravity and inhumanity?

I'll never get that.

encounter. Reportedly, all the three men charged with Arbery's murder chased him around the neighborhood in their vehicles for some time, hunting him down like an animal before killing him.

They cornered Arbery several times, boxing him in with the two vehicles to prevent his escape from the subdivision, even forcing Arbery off the road into a ditch as he ran from their vehicles. And, finally, he was struck by the pickup truck, causing a dent on the side of the truck, just before he was shotgunned to death.

Travis and Greg McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan have each been charged with felony murder in the Arbery case, which has drawn national attention and sparked demonstrations. Because of concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the McMichaels and Bryan will appear by video for their hearings from the Glynn County Detention Center.


This article provides a minute-by-minute readout of the testimony and it's quite disturbing to read.
