Ahmaud Arbery was a small town kid and man.
All he did was go for his run. In his small town.
But he was murdered by the “good ol boys” in said small town.
Just sayin.
And Brunswick is a helluva lot smaller than Macon where Jason grew up.

One thing that's missing in this is the fact that whenever someone has suggested something that would actually help, the right has relentlessly attacked it. What they want is "their" kind of masculine.
Please read this, particularly if the men in your life seem to have shifted in search of a new masculine.
I really think Christine Emba has articulated something a lot of us have missed.

When I look at the men in my life, in particular my dad and one of my brothers I see in the former generation a man whose father abandoned his family and had to find what being a man meant on his own while being raised by a single mother and his grandparents. 1/
