25 year old man murdered in Georgia for jogging while black

and maybe he buried his loot somewhere

 

Your post is honestly bad.

1) These aren't "criminals" in the traditional sense of the word. These two pieces of scum were racists who wouldn't care what kind of pleas came from Arbery. They were set on dishing out their own disgusting form of justice, no matter what. There's nothing that Arbery could have given them, that would dissuade the McMichaels from doing what they did.

2a) "It's sad that people want to have a trial before the facts are in?" WHAT?? That's LITERALLY what a trial is for - to get the facts. Look at it from the other perspective - if the video never surfaces, the McMichaels would still be at home after killing a person. In fact, it's been like 70+ days or something, since the incident. Whether or not it was self-defense or a homicide, they killed. a. man.

2b) The whole reason FOR the arrests of the McMichaels was to have a trial. Now, things that were obscured can come to light, whatever those things may be. Look, if they're innocent as proven in a court of law, then it is what it is. The Arbery family will have to accept that. But if they're guilty, the McMichaels family will have to accept that.

3) "The guy who got shot should have screamed for help and ran." Uhhh, you have two armed individuals who can outrun you (vehicle vs. feet) and who can outgun you (2 vs. 0). There's no way you're running anywhere without getting gunned down, if that's what the people armed with gun had in mind.

 

Does seeing footage on a camera count as "immediate knowledge"? Did they even see the footage or hear a description of the footage? I read the first DA's letter justifying himself and he does not even explain how it is that they are justified in trying to execute a citizen's arrest.

Georgia is a Stand Your Ground state. Arbery would be within his rights to use force against the men accosting him with guns.

have they shown that footage? is it arbery? was he robbing something?

until the footage with Arbery robbing something is presented then its neither fact nor truth

 

Nope, if they don't go to prison for murder 2, then people should protest.

I understand the lack of faith, but this seems open-and-shut to me.

 

Again, just a thought.

 

I pray that it ends up being open-and-shut for a jury

DA and others had this video for 2 months and did nothing...it took somebody leaking it and huge public outcry for them to finally get arrested

they told Arbery’s mother he had been killed in an active home robbery when the homeowner shot him...that tells me all I need to know

thank God for video

 

So . . . the BEST case senario was for Arbery to surrender ALL HIS RIGHTS TO TWO RANDOM WHITE MEN THAT SHOW UP WITH GUNS ON HIM
and HOPE AND PRAY they call the cops.
This is what white people expected him to do when surprised by two white men with guns chasing him in a truck.
The Black guy was suppose to ACCEPT THEM AT THEIR WORD WHILE THEY ARE BRANDASHING WEAPONS AT HIM . . .. .

In what universe is that logical and reasonable?

No White person would EVER except or expect a white guy to ACCEPT THE WORD OF TWO BLACK MEN WITH GUNS AIMED AT HIM
That they were making a citizen arrest (if they even said that stupid ****)

There is ONE EXPECTATION FOR WHITE PEOPLE and ANOTHER FOR MINORITIES

White people can defend themselves and stand their ground
Minorities are expected to surrender their right and ground to any and every white person that wants it. . . . .. . . .
PERIOD

This is Jim Crow 3.0

they cut off his avenues for escape and brandished weapons, then when he starts fighting for his life, it’s now self defense for the rednecks

and of course, they gave their statements, the prosecutor and everyone else took their word for it, and let them chill at home for 2 months...without this video and the public outcry that resulted from it, there never would’ve been an arrest and they would’ve just gone on with their lives while Arbery’s family grieves in silence

if it was 2 black men that had done this, ain’t no going home and chilling...they would’ve been arrested immediately...sh*t, they might’ve already been sentenced to 25 to life by now

next is to bring up any criminal history from Arbery to excuse away his murder

 

and if he tried to escape by outrunning them the racists here would simply say he was a gulity robber trying to get away. can't really change their mind. a black man was somewhere where they didn't want him to be.

 

I can only thank God that humans have some sort of need to self snitch by recording and sharing their crimes with others via social media and other avenues

to the 3rd redneck who captured this footage for us, thank u

 

I'll give the DA's a little leeway on this, because of the strange circumstances. The locals had to recuse, twice, as they should, and if things are to be believed there's no way to convene a grand jury (yet everything else in GA can be open, just not a courthouse?).

Sometimes justice takes time.

 

It'll maybe need a thead (I'll let @Os Trigonum be the judge of that), but what do you, the royal you, think about the "snitches get..." theme?

Is this good or bad or what?

 

the 1st DA basically said it was justifiable and there were no grounds for an arrest...he saw this video that u believe should be an open-and-shut case and deemed there was no wrongdoing

the current DA Tom Durden initially wanted to wait until mid-June for a grand jury to deem if charges were warranted...that was BS, because it only took 2 days of public outcry for them to get arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault

I’m hoping no fckery is afoot in order to get them off, but I can’t help but be skeptical

 

the no snitching policy is dumb and needs to stop...the recording crimes and posting them on social media or sharing them with others fascination needs to continue tho...record away...post your crime on FB and Twitter...circulate the video through text...post the murder weapon on Instagram

since these people are so dumb, they might as well add the confession at the end of the video as some sort of stinger

without this video, there’s not a doubt in my mind they would’ve just gone about their lives...no arrest, no charges, nothing

 

So true very true the trolling by BTG was the lamest ever.

 

That's what the far right always do blame the victim.

 

Sadly, yeah, I think that's the case.

Don't go jogging without a gopro? Is that where we're at?

 

if one has to recuse, he has zero business writing the report characterizing what happened. That’s not recusal, that’s putting your thumb on the scale.
