I think there are multiple explanations for why this isn't getting attention but I'm not real happy about any of them. Running from the police after committing a crime doesn't create a sympathetic story for the whites, many of which think that's a capital offense

Hell, some dude who cosplays as a journalist was on twitter smearing Ahmoud Arbery for some old minor crimes and not calmly discussing the situation with the two guys who were following around for no reason
