A 25-year-old black man was shot dead in Georgia while jogging, prompting online protests labeling the incident as racial profiling

Actually they did not accost him over nothing, they identified him as a man that was breaking into local homes and sought to question him.

They had no authority to question him. None. Not even a little bit...

He it seems chose confrontation and attempted to take a shotgun. T

So, lemme' make sure I've got this straight: Two white guys arm themselves, hop in their pickup, chase down a black guy and stop him and it's the black guy that's confrontational?

Exactly how fucking high are you?

The cops and DA by now have reviewed the evidence including any video proof and appear at this time to believe the man and son.

And a lot of people are suspect of the police there.

If you or I had shot the guy, we'd have been placed in custody and questioned. The fact that McMichael wasn't shows favoritism, likely due to his former status within the law enforcement community.

This case is getting another look, and it would now appear as thought the feds may be getting involved. Since the allegations are of racial profiling, there are civil rights violations to consider and to investigate. The local boys don't get to do that...
We don't know what happened.

Well, we know that a n unarmed black guy was chased down and killed by two armed white guys.

There's no dispute about that...
There is also no dispute that he tried to take a gun from them.
Would have been much better if he was armed and killed them in self defense when they went after him.
Sure, but i dont know why you would root for the bad guy. Unlike you, I dont like it when criminals kill innocent people.
How was the jogger the bad guy?
Youtube is full of blacks "jogging" away from cops. Big Mike was shot "jogging" toward a cop. LOL

So that's justification to kill someone?
 
If nothing else, it would appear as though Arbery's family has a ridiculously solid grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit against McMichael...

Who said he was jogging?

Jogging, running... it's semantics.

We know he was running because the white guys who killed him needed to use their truck to catch him...
He would have been within his legal right to shoot them when they brandished their guns if he'd been armed. I'm quite sure he would have been no-billed by reason of self-defense. :rolleyes:

I've had several people pull guns on me. A police officer, a neighbor, and one other.

In each instance, I never once felt scared, or threatened. They were people who thought I was up to no good, found out I was not, and put their guns away.

Never bothered me. Good people, only need you to explain yourself, and they leave you alone. And I am not so arrogant, that I think I should not have to explain myself. That's why arrogant people get killed.


That said.... the citizen told Arbrey they just wanted to talk.

The proper course of action, would be to simply say you were out for a jog, and move on. If they tried to stop you, you stop and then call police and file a report.

What you don't do... unless you want to die... is attack the person with the gun.

That makes you a moron.

You attack someone holding a gun, who only said they wanted to talk.... that makes you a danger to society, and I'm fine with them dead.

Second, Arbrey... already had a criminal history. Was caught bringing a gun into a school gymnasium, and several counts of obstructing officers.

This guy was scum.... we're better off with him dead.

Here's the sick aspect of this...... You people, are the reason you people die so much. You support the criminals, and attack the good people.

That's why black people will continue to get kill constantly, and it is their own fault.
 
That said.... the citizen told Arbrey they just wanted to talk.

There were two of them. If all they wanted to do was talk there was no need for them to be brandishing weapons...

What you don't do... unless you want to die... is attack the person with the gun.

And we don't know that's what happened. That's what we're being told happened by the guy who killed him.

It would not be beneficial for him to state otherwise, even if "otherwise" was the truth...

You attack someone holding a gun, who only said they wanted to talk.... that makes you a danger to society, and I'm fine with them dead.

You stop someone while holding a gun and tell them you "just want to talk" that makes you a danger to society. There was no reason to confront Arbery while armed...

Second, Arbrey... already had a criminal history. Was caught bringing a gun into a school gymnasium, and several counts of obstructing officers.

Yes, he'd has his brushes with the law.

But those who have no problem with him being killed are acting like he was Clyde Barrow...

This guy was scum.... we're better off with him dead.

A completely ignorant and stupid conclusion, supported by nothing...

Here's the sick aspect of this...... You people, are the reason you people die so much. You support the criminals, and attack the good people.

"You people"?

I'm white. I'm as white as they get. I'm a proud, card carrying life member of the NRA who's carrying a loaded firearm pretty much anytime I leave the house.

And I can see all kinds of problems with simply taking McMichael at his word...

That's why black people will continue to get kill constantly, and it is their own fault.

You're not real familiar with this area of Georgia, are you? Waycross? Brunswick? There's no shortage of redneck racist fucks who'd love to shoot a black man just to watch him die.

And here's where the shooters are fucked. According to at least one former US Attorney, “The law does not allow a group of people to form an armed posse and chase down an unarmed person who they believe might have possibly been the perpetrator of a past crime”.

That's EXACTLY what happened when McMichael and his son grabbed their weapons and went after Arbrey...

He was running to get to the pharmacy for Zinc and Vitamin C before they closed.

There is a difference between a guy casually jogging on the sidewalk and someone fratically fleeing the scene of a crime. I reject your flawed logic.
 
According to the police report, Gregory McMichael, who was armed with a .357 Magnum handgun, and his son Travis, who was armed with a shotgun, attempted to interrupt Arbery’s run twice. During the first attempt Travis drove down Buford Road and tried unsuccessfully to cut off Arbery with the truck, the report says. During the second attempt Arbery had been “running back in the direction from which he came,” the report said. Travis McMichael again tried to cut Arbery off with the truck without any success, according to the report.

Travis McMichael then pulled up beside Arbery and again made it known they wanted to talk, the report says. At that point, Travis McMichael exited the vehicle, shotgun in hand, according to the police report.


Seriously??? No charges were brought against the two white guys? I jog all the time through different neighborhoods. So someone who wants to interrogate you is allowed to cut you off with their vehicle, then stop and pursue you with a shot gun? WTF????

Who said he was jogging?

Irrelevant. He can just go stand on the corner, walk up and down the street 100 times, run as fast as he can or whatever. Doesn't mean these guys have a right to harass him. The law about citizen's arrest is bullshit. There was no evidence of a crime committed. Sure as hell sounds like something is being covered up.
Actually they did not accost him over nothing, they identified him as a man that was breaking into local homes and sought to question him. He it seems chose confrontation and attempted to take a shotgun. The cops and DA by now have reviewed the evidence including any video proof and appear at this time to believe the man and son.

No. They think he resembled someone who was committing robberies. From the article,

"Ahmaud Arbery was jogging when Gregory McMichael spotted him and thought he resembled a suspect in a string of recent break-ins."

The white guys had no right to stop him. Certainly by cutting him off several times and stopping him with a gun in hand they were harassing him. The white guys had no right to stop and question him. Go read up on citizen's arrest here,


There's nothing about what the white guys did that even remotely resembles a citizen's arrest. There was no crime being committed at the moment, nor was there a crime commited just before they saw him.
You left out the main part. He was seen fleeing a house under construction THAT DAY, just before the confrontation.

Fleeing the house under construction with what? As the dispatcher asked the 911 caller, what was he doing wrong? Was his only crime he was on premises he wasn't supposed to be on? The caller admitted the site was wide open. Furthermore, how do the two white guys know what he as doing? All Arbery did was run past them and he happened to look like someone they thought was a suspect for previous burglaries. So dial 911, right? These guys thought it was smart to go grab their guns, hop in their pickup truck and pursue this guy cutting him off several times while running? The father used to be a cop. No doubt this father was familiar with the George Zimmerman case. If for some reason Arbery did attack these guys when they got out of their truck with guns I don't blame him. But I seriously doubt it happened that way. Something was said and no doubt these guys pursued him in a very aggressive way. Their actions and lack of common sense in a situation like this led to Arbery's death. Voluntary manslaughter at least.

He has a criminal record, he was apparently scene fleeing a house under construction, presumably to steal tools, then when confronted he tried to wrestle with a guy holding a gun. A jogger wouldnt do that.

If you believe, as they did, that the individual was engaging in break ins throughout the community.... yeah, I would absolute brandish a weapon. Sure.

Like I said.... people brandish guns on me... and I just answered their questions.

And we don't know that's what happened. That's what we're being told happened by the guy who killed him.

By that logic, then we don't know anything, and you shouldn't be complaining yet about this guy being shot.

You can't sit there and just say "He was shot for no reason, and therefore it's racism", and then turn around and say "Well we don't have all the facts, so you can't make a judgement call yet".

Sorry. Those are mutually exclusive positions.

Yes, he'd has his brushes with the law.

Brushes? He had a loaded firearm, at a packed high school gym.

You people need to make up your mind. Is bringing loaded weapons to school bad? Or should we call it "brushes" with the law, and not a big deal?

This guy was a criminal, and a danger to society.

"You people"?

Yes, you people. People who defend criminals when criminals get killed. This guy was a criminal.

I'm white.

Yeah, and white people who defend criminals die all the time. It's not a race issue. It's a culture issue. As long as people defend evil, and attack the good, people will keep dying.

Granted it's mainly BLM people, but I've seen whites do the same. You act the same way, you get the same results.

Absolutely. If I'm jogging, and someone stopped me with a gun, because he thought I stole something.... I would stop. I would prove I didn't take anything. I would explain what I was doing.

I wouldn't go attack the guy with the gun. What kind of moron would do that?

Well we all know.... a criminal. And this guy had a criminal record. So.... unless you can provide evidence.... I'm good with this outcome. I hate criminals.

The law about citizen's arrest is bullshit. There was no evidence of a crime committed. Sure as hell sounds like something is being covered up.
Or maybe youre just completely wrong. Since when have police covered up murders for random people? Thats absurd.

Random? did you read the article? smh
Did you read it? There is video evidence he was breaking and entering and trespassing on private property. There is video of the shooting itself, of the perp trying to get the shotgun so he could murder the two law abiding citizens.

I've read at least 5 articles on this. Where is the video of the shooting? Can you show me the article that says he was committing a crime at the moment which warranted a citizen's arrest?
The video was shot by a third party witness. It has not been made public, but the police reviewed it. So obviously it exonerated the two men who dealt with the criminal.

Where did you hear or read about a 3rd party video? I haven't been able to find anything on it.

Aside from walking on the premises of a wide open construction site, I still can't see what he did wrong or exactly what crime was committed. They say he's been caught on camera in the neighborhood. Well, so what. I job every day or night so I'm sure I'm on everyone's doorbell camera in area.

Can you be this fucking stupid? It was in YOUR article that YOU linked, you moronic shitbag.

Another document the paper cites says Barnhill claims video exists of Arbery “burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation.” Barnhill also wrote a letter to police, citing yet another video, one of the shooting filmed by a third pursuer.

The Times reported that Barnhill said this supposed video, which the public has not seen, shows Arbery attacking Travis McMichael after the father-son duo pulled up to him in their truck.

Barnhill told police this video shows Arbery trying to grab the shotgun from Travis McMichael’s hands, which amounted to self-defense under Georgia law — for Travis McMichael. Barnhill told police Travis McMichael “was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.”


Go fuck yourself you piece of shit. I never took you for racist garbage but apparently I was wrong. I'm still calling bullshit on this. They person who talked abot the supposed video has already recused himself.
Nice try asshole. You claimed you “read five articles” on this case, yet didn’t even read the one you linked. Like most moronic shitbags, you read a click bait headline and assume it proves the headline, without actually reading the contents. Otherwise you’d see there is no actual proof to back up their claim.

You're sighting a video no one has seen except the guy that had to recuse himself? There is no proof of a crime being committed. What kind of dumb fuck are you?

Regardless, chasing the black man down while armed and confrontng him with no proof of anything does not equate to a citizens arrest.
They had eye witness proof, which certainly fulfills the requirements for a citizen arrest.

This was not a citizen's arrest. Here are some of guidelines in Georgia for making a citizens arrest. These guys followed none of these.

Making a Citizen's Arrest
If you do decide to make a citizen's arrest, you should:
  • Tell the suspect plainly that you are making a citizen's arrest and that you are holding him or her until police arrive.
  • Call the police.
  • Ask explicitly for his or her cooperation until police arrive.
  • Avoid using force, if at all possible, and use it to the minimum possible otherwise.
  • Do not question or search the suspect or his or her possessions. Your purpose is only to temporarily detain him or her until police arrive.
  • When police arrive, state the plain facts of what happened.

To be eligible to make a citizen's arrest for a crime on or in relation to property, you must be one of the following:
  • the owner of the property;
  • in lawful possession of the property; or
  • have been authorized by the owner or the person in lawful possession of the property.
The two white guys did not own the property and they weren't in lawful possession of anything Arbery had on him. They certainly weren't authorized by anyone. Looking at the facts as we know them and the definition for a citizens arrest, it's stunning this has not been brought to a Grand Jury. Even if Arbery initiated the struggle for the shot gun it's still on the white guys for their aggressive and unlawful actions. They weren't making an citizens arrest, they were harassing and intimidating someone they thought was a suspect.
 
If nothing else, it would appear as though Arbery's family has a ridiculously solid grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit against McMichael...

At the very least. But with a competent lawyer and honest prosecutor I can't how this isn't voluntary manslaughter.
 
You're not real familiar with this area of Georgia, are you? Waycross? Brunswick? There's no shortage of redneck racist fucks who'd love to shoot a black man just to watch him die.
You sound really tense, even for a lib

the fact is that there is not enough evidence to jump to conclusions either way

Lib?

Moi?

That's pretty fuckin' stupid of you to say. I've voted for Republicans for President since I was old enough to vote. Pro military, pro gun, pro border wall.

But you think I'm a lib because I'm able to see where there's fault in a white guy shooting and killing an unarmed black guy.

Stop being an idiot. My being conservative in no way precludes me from recognizing racist redneck fucks when I see them...
