Steophan is still a big fan of murderous scumbags in this thread: > [@Arbery Shooting in Georgia and Citizen's Arrest \[& similar shootings\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arbery-shooting-in-georgia-and-citizens-arrest/853815/1): > > I’m trying to understand this case and make sure that I’ve gotten it right before I join with the pitchfork carrying crowd.
