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

If somebody broke into my house and I saw them running by you’re damn right I’m gonna cut them off 100 times

But he didn't break into their house. There's really no evidence he broke into anyone's house...

He looks like the guy on there video

On whose video?

The younger McMichael, the guy who actually killed the jogger, never actually saw the video. His father did. I've got no doubt that will become a very important fact as this case is reviewed at a higher level...

 

[bodecea]

What was that description, anyway? That he was black?

So what? Why can’t we self police??some rural areas don’t have a lot of cops and don’t need them

Anyone else see the video? It's out on the internet now. Not surprising it's going to the grand jury now. They hunted him down, blocked his jogging path and forced the issue. 3 shots fired total while the father just stands in the back of the truck and watches.

Yeah, i saw the video. In that video i saw Ahmaud Arbery punching the son. This looks like self defense to me.

I see two guys with guns blocking the road. They can call it a citizens arrest all they want. But I already posted the definition of a citizens arrest in Georgia and this is not it. Ahmaud jogs to his right, back to his left, then back to his right to go around the truck and to avoid the son who is standing by the open door of the truck. When Ahmaud runs around the right side in an attempt to get away from these guys, the son clearly moves from his spot to the front of the truck to meet him. At this point they have him pinned in.

As I said before I even saw the video, these guys had no authority to chase him down and question him. This does not qualify as a citizens arrest. They caused the incident and put Ahmaud in a defensive situation. Ahmaud doesn't know these guy who are pointing guns at him and have no idea what they are going to do. This is going to a grand jury as it should.

They didn’t chase him down, this guy farted around the car to attack the guy with the shot gun. What are you supposed to do then?

Uh, they did chase him down. That fact isn't even in question. The father told police that Ahmaud ran past their house and he called to his son to grab their guns and get the truck. It was 1pm on a Sunday. They had no knowledge of him just committing any sort of crime. They just thought he looked like a suspect on a camera from a different day. The father also said they cut Ahmaud off several times in an attempt to stop him. The video you see is their 3rd or 4th attempt to stop Ahmaud, which they had no authority to do

So you don’t believe in citizens arrest? Or ask him a question? Or try to hold him until the cops come?Or try to hold him until the cops come ?

I posted the definition of citizens arrest. This did not qualify. Ahmaud was not on their property, nor did he have any of their property on him. They did not just witness him commit a crime. Perhaps they can request he stop, but Ahmaud doesn't have to stop. They had already cut Ahmaud off 3 times and Ahmaud didn't want to talk to them which he doesn't have to do. At that point they should have dialed 911, which would have amounted to nothing since Ahmaud hadn't stolen anything. Instead they forced the issue and blocked Ahmaud's path. Remember, Ahmaud doesn't know these guys. He has no idea what their intentions are. They chased him with guns and cut him off 3 times. You don't think he was beyond frightened?

Where does it say I can’t confront somebody who I believe broke into my house?

They know he didn't break into their house. He was just running by.

There is no law against confronting someone to ask them questions. But, if that person made it clear they did not want to talk to you, would you continue chasing them with guns and cut them off several times from their path ultimately cornering them? I don't know you, but somehow I doubt you would take it to that extreme.

If somebody broke into my house and I saw them running by you’re damn right I’m gonna cut them off 100 times

This jogger didn't break into their house....why are you making up lies? To muddy the waters?

The McMichael's ramped up the intensity level of that whole encounter far more than it ever had to be. There were two of them for Christ's sake. They didn't need guns.

Jitss, we already know you're happy because a black guy was killed, but it would really be best if there was a valid reason he was killed, as opposed to some fanciful fantasy in your head...

You are encouraging the behavior of this black boy, that’s racist.. if I went outside right now for one or two black as pulled up with a gun stop me I would’ve been like what the fuck are you doing, I want to try to grab his fucking gun.

A black man jogging in an affluent suburban Georgia neighborhood was shot dead by neighbors on February 23, who thought he was a robber, setting off online protests labeling the incident as racial profiling, The New York Times reported.

Ahmaud Arbery was jogging around Brunswick, Georgia, before he was killed in nearby Satilla Shores. Arbery ran by Gregory McMichael who called to his son Travis McMichael before grabbing their .357 magnum revolver and shotgun and followed Arbery in a truck, according to The Times.

"Stop, stop," they shouted at Mr. Arbery, according to The Times, "we want to talk to you."

Gregory McMichael told police he thought Arbery was the suspect in a string of break-ins. Arbery died after being shot twice in after "a struggle over the shotgun," according to The Times.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the elder McMichael, who is a former police officer, was the only source quoted in the police report and that led critics to suspect that "his influence played a role in authorities' decision not to bring charges."

"There's a lot of suspicion of law enforcement down here," Akeem Baker, a friend of Arbery told AJC.

Neither the father nor son have been charged with Arbery's killing.

So now you can't jog while black.

How is it that you can just grab your gun and chase someone down the block, kill them and then return home for dinner.

Oh that's right there is no more racism in the South anymore.

I don't know if warranted or not, but your premise is "he dindu nutin".

However, from your own link: "However, according to the Times, someone called the police station and said a black man with a white t-shirt had run inside a house under construction that was only "partially closed in." Arbery had some run-ins with police in the past, included being "sentenced to five years' probation as a first offender on charges of carrying a weapon on campus and several counts of obstructing a law enforcement officer," the AJC reported. Arbery was also charged for shoplifting and violating his probation in 2018, according to the AJC. "

That's borderline gibberish.

Also, the guy was in his mid-20's; a man. But, again, you're a racist so you refer to him as "boy".

Lastly, he didn't have a gun. He was unarmed...

None of that matters an iota, simply because there's no way the two McMichaels' could've known that as they were chasing him with their loaded weapons.

Sure, the guy was no angel. But he was hunted down and killed, apparently, because he had the nerve to be black in an affluent white neighborhood...

I’m using voice to text.. what I’m saying is if two guys pulled up to me and they had a gun I would’ve stopped and said what the hell do you want and if I had nothing to hide I wouldn’t try to grab their gun. I’d call the cops. This black boy was obviously guilty as sin

Again, with your racist jargon.

The point of the matter is that it was not their place to chase him and confront him. It would've been perfectly acceptable for them to follow him and call police. That would've been fine.

But south Georgia rednecks aren't exactly known to be real friendly to anyone who's not white, so this incident, sadly, isn't real surprising.

And, just a suggesting: If you don't want to come across as an illiterate racist, don't use voice to text. It makes you look more stupid than you surely are...

Well who cares what’s you think, Real Americans are self-reliant and can be self police. If he wasn’t guilty he shouldn’t have been running and attacking somebody with a gun he knew his time was up.

 

[Meathead]

Ah, I see we've reached the "No-Angel Phase".

It's like watching a rerun that you're seen too many times.

 

[bodecea]

What was that description, anyway? That he was black?

So what? Why can’t we self police??some rural areas don’t have a lot of cops and don’t need them

Anyone else see the video? It's out on the internet now. Not surprising it's going to the grand jury now. They hunted him down, blocked his jogging path and forced the issue. 3 shots fired total while the father just stands in the back of the truck and watches.

Yeah, i saw the video. In that video i saw Ahmaud Arbery punching the son. This looks like self defense to me.

I see two guys with guns blocking the road. They can call it a citizens arrest all they want. But I already posted the definition of a citizens arrest in Georgia and this is not it. Ahmaud jogs to his right, back to his left, then back to his right to go around the truck and to avoid the son who is standing by the open door of the truck.

This is going to a grand jury as it should.

They didn’t chase him down, this guy darted* around the car to attack the guy with the shot gun. What are you supposed to do then?

They themselves even admit they chased him down.

Lol yea ok .. I live in a black neighborhood I’ve never seen a black man in his 20s go for a jog haha
