Why do you think this is hard?  Arbery had no trouble doing it.

Why didn't Arbery simply turn around and run the other way?  Because the neighborhood only has one exit and there's a swamp behind many of the homes.  No other escape but to try getting past the truck.

NOTE:  After reading the initial police report and statements from the McMichaels, much of my speculation about the tactics of the 2 men is rendered null.  They didn't saddle up with Pops in the back; initially they were both in the cab.  After unsuccessfully trying to cut Arbery off, Pops got into the truck bed.  It might have happened shortly before the video starts.  But one thing about my scenario remains true.  Pops had several clear shots at Arbery, but didn't fire until after the shotgun was fired.

They admittedly tried to cut him off with their truck multiple times. Someone you don't know tries to run you down with their car several times and you really don't think you'd perceive it as an attack and try to run away? Then they get in front of you and get out with a [BLEEP] shotgun and you think their intentions are kosher? You guys have lost your minds.
