Like, I wonder how trumpets will defend this. It's an absolute joke that these guys are free right now. They should be behind bars with a million dollar bail.

I just looked it up. What the fuck

A Georgia prosecutor said on Tuesday that a grand jury should decide whether to bring charges in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old unarmed black man who was pursued by two white men and shot in southern Georgia in February, as video of the encounter spread widely online.
After careful review of the evidence, the prosecutor, Tom Durden, of Georgias Atlantic Judicial Circuit, wrote in a statement, I am of the opinion that the case should be presented to the grand jury of Glynn County for consideration of criminal charges.
Mr. Arbery was killed after the men confronted him while he was running in the Satilla Shores neighborhood just outside of Brunswick, in Glynn County. Neither man was arrested after the slaying, which occurred on Feb. 23 at about 1 p.m.
A graphic video of the shooting surfaced on Tuesday. Taken from inside a vehicle, it shows Mr. Arbery running along a shaded two-lane residential road when he comes upon a white truck, with a man standing beside its open drivers-side door. Another man is in the bed of the pickup. Mr. Arbery runs around the truck and disappears briefly from view. Muffled shouting can be heard before Mr. Arbery emerges, tussling with the man outside the truck as three shotgun blasts echo.
In a statement, S. Lee Merritt, a lawyer for Mr. Arberys family, said the video showed that a crime was committed by Mr. Arberys pursuers. This is murder, Mr. Merritt said. The series of events captured in this video confirm what all the evidence indicated prior to its release.
According to a police report, one of the men, Gregory McMichael, said that he saw Mr. Arbery running through his neighborhood and thought that he looked like the suspect in a rash of nearby break-ins. Mr. McMichael, 64, told the authorities that he and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, armed themselves and began chasing him in a truck.
Mr. Arberys family and friends said Mr. Arbery was an avid jogger, and they do not believe he committed a crime before being chased.

just fucking why

Because it's Georgia and the victim was a black man. The uneducated country bumpkins don't see it as murder.

They were stalking him armed. He confronted them unarmed. They shot him.

The attackers were given a chance to tell their side of the story, and they definitely started it.

What should he have done? You can't outrun bullets, and people who chase you down while heavily armed generally don't have you best interests at heart. Legally if he had been armed and had shot them by "stand your ground" laws he would be perfectly safe right now.

This is straight forward
They took the guns to hunt someone
The man may or may not have been a criminal to them, which is completely fucking irrelevant because he was no longer potentially commiting a crime once he left the building. They were playing copper and should be in jail.

He really wouldn't have because if he shot one then another would have shot him. If he somehow shot all of them, then given the historic precedence of people of color having judges refuse to grant them protection under stand your ground laws, especially in Georgia? He'd definitely be locked up on murder charges and probably some other bogus ones on top of that.

Fair point, but I have been accused by mods in the past of having anti-south rhetoric to my posts. So legally without outside bias, he should be safe in that scenario with a Stand Your Ground defense. But yes, you are correct. They are white, he's black, it's Georgia and former confederate states are racist fucking shitholes.

Stand Your Ground only works when a white guy shoots somebody colored, not the other way around.

I'm sure he isn't but use common sense, why even attempt to attack armed men. Its disgusting what they did and hope they go to jail but if I get approached by armed men I will try to keep a calm head and hope to get out in one piece in a non threatening way, no way would I even attempt to attack them cause I would lose no matter what.

Black man in south Gawga being confronted by white guys with guns. They weren't there to have a neighborly chat.

It's fight or flight time in that situation and you cannot outrun a bullet, he also had nowhere to hide. He felt that his life was in danger and he was right.

I think people need to look into any connections the shooters may have to local law enforcement or politicians, they may be well connected.

if you slap someone in the face you may get arrested. Its hard to believe you can get shot in cold blood and the cops refuse to do anything about it, someone is protecting these people

Guy was a big time lawyer. A few have said they can't be involved in the case because they worked with him.

I wouldn't be against seeing them charged for murder 1.

I don't know if there's any concrete proof that that was these guys intent, but how the hell did they expect a black guy to respond when being confronted by two white guys (with shotguns) that both have a very stereotypical southern racist look to them? If they were so concerned, give the actual cops a description and let them do their jobs.

I can't imagine that being out on a jog and then seeing a stopped truck with two guys wielding weaponry, in the heart of some of the most historically racist areas of the country, specifically vying for your attention, wouldn't be instantly pretty damned frightening.

I dont know Georgia laws but even if he was a thief, which seems highly unlikely, he was running away and they chased him and shot him. This is incredibly heinous.

they need to go to trial for this because this seems at least like manslaughter.
