    Vigilantism is illegal if your actions are illegal. Disgusting actions and stupid men. This dude was a former cop... these people are mentally ill and clearly we lack proper psyche evals for these people. Or maybe he was thrown off the force for a reason.

    Still no charges SMH No one has been charged or arrested in connection with the Feb. 23 killing. The case has received little attention beyond Brunswick, but it has raised questions in the community about racial profiling — Mr. Arbery was black, and the father and son are white — and about the interpretation of the state’s self-defense laws.

    In this case, I'm betting it's more about the elder assailant's relationships with the police and prosecutors from his career in law enforcement than it is the mere color of his skin. Thin blue line.

    I can totally see that happening but the fact that he was no longer in Law Enforcement he should have been at least put in the squad car.

    Looks like textbook 2nd degree murder.

    The men involved should all die in prison.

    This is what I hate about CHL laws. If you misuse the thing and exercise poor judgement it should be expected that you be found guilty of murder or manslaughter. The penalties for using your gun inappropriately should be harsh bordering on draconian.

    Instead, there seems to be "oh, hes a good guy, he just made a mistake" creep where even if you murder an innocent man, in what is clearly a crime, prosecutors and juries let you off without punishment like you are a 30 year veteran federal marshal because you have a piece of paper from a six hour class that entitles you to cary a gun.

    Unacceptable to me. If you want everybody to be running around carying guns they should accept the gravity of the responsibility they are taking on. There should be a razor sharp and inviolate line where it flips on one side from justified use to capitol murder/first degree murder just on the other side like flipping a switch.

    As it stands, there is a giant soft zone where what would otherwise pretty clearly be murder is basically excused - like the CHL reduces your duty to use the gun responsibly and increases your legal protection when killing someone instead of holding you to a higher standard.

    ^ The system is skewed that way for a reason.

    I'm sure the fine folk protesting at the Michigan capitol didn't need no stinkin CHL...

    Maybe not in Atlanta either. But this looks like a small town community -- a suburb across the river from not-exactly-cosmopolitan beach town Brunswick Georgia. Type of place where all the white people know each other.
