    One of the men accused in the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery was involved in a previous prosecution of Arbery, according to a letter written by a prosecutor who has since recused himself from the case.

    In an April 7 letter, Waycross Judicial Circuit District Attorney George Barnhill wrote that his son and the suspect, Gregory McMichael, helped with an earlier prosecution of Arbery when they both worked for the Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office.

    Prior record. Check.
    Evading citizen’s arrest. Check.
    Held a grudge against those who helped prosecute him. Check.

    there are no grounds for #2 and #3 you just pulled from your ass

    so his prior record was the reason why he died?

    I didn't know that holding a grudge was a valid reason for murder. To be safe, I forgive my junior high school coach for giving me a swat for not having my name on my socks.

    Blacks commit more total murders despite being 14% of the population.

    America has a violence problem overall. Again the issue is black people taking these incidents to the next level of rhetoric like this is a big problem. Its tragic when it happens but it doesn't happen much at all

    Why do you think murder is the only avenue black people experience racial bias?

    Dude stop coming in here with that bullshit.

    People talk about black on black crime all the time Obama really focused on it with Brothers Keeper.

    Whitlock was not commenting on black social media reaction he was nitpicking a Lebron tweet.

    You really need to chill and stop with your self loathing.

    This is the kind of things that Larry Elders talks about. And he always has statistics to back up what he says. @pgabriel are you a fan of Elders? Just curious.

    you are right and it's a fact, but what can you do when a toxic mentality is what a community prides itself on? we see it throughout this forum from the so called middle class.

    After 8 years of Obama, not only did nothing change, but the situation was at it's worst. in this day it really comes down to the people , and nothing changes when you promote a culture of pointing fingers at everyone else but yourself.

    Just remember, these murderers were finally arrested NOT because the Georgia police saw this video, but because WE saw this video.

    I talk to educated black people on FB all the time who don't know how out of whack black murder statistics are.

    Its mass denial

    Didn't I already tell you? The problem with you is that unless the thread is framed in the specific manner you desire which is a thread that criticizes black culture.you aren't going to consider it part of a meaningful discussion. Any threads that discusses the 400 years of history that force funneled Black families into poor ghettos or solutions to alleviate poverty such as healthcare reform, criminal justice reform, income inequality, public education reform etc is not counted by you because those threads aren't framed the way you want.

    The past is always relevant.

    Also, the government can and is supposed to help its citizens, yes. If you're running a city and it is rife with crime do you take 0 responsibility for that? It can do that by providing good jobs, education, etc etc.

    But if you want to talk about culture then lets do that and keep it relevant to the topic at hand...what is the culture that makes people think black people are dangerous while doing something ordinary? The culture that allows black people to get different justice while dealing with the law? Where does this culture come from where police officers roll up to a 12 year old kid playing with a toy gun, shoot him dead, and gets excused for doing so?

    It's not so much about a guy being killed because he was jogging, as we know, there are sick people out there that kill for silly reasons, but it's about the fact that they were going to get away with the murder of this man. If they had been arrested then and there then it's just another local story.

    It's talked about in every thread you chime in on with your self loathing BS also Senator has made multiple threads.

    So if I make a thread about this will you stop?
