Georgia 'LYNCHING' citizen fatally shoots unarmed black man ... Video Emerges, Grand Jury to Convene

The fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery -- a 25-year-old black man out for a jog when he was chased and killed -- was caught on video, prompting a call for a grand jury to review the case.

Arbery's death is being referred to as a modern-day lynching, as he was unarmed when he was gunned down in Brunswick, GA on February 23 by a white citizen named Travis McMichael ... who has not been arrested or charged. He also happens to be the son of a former district attorney investigator.

As you can see in the video, Arbery was jogging when he was stopped by McMichael and his father in a white pickup truck. McMichael was armed with a shotgun. Arbery appears to attempt to run around the truck before he and McMichael start grappling.

After at least 2 shots, the men continued struggling over the gun ... until Arbery stumbles away, shot in the mid-section, and then collapses to the ground. He was later pronounced dead.

McMichael has not been charged in the shooting ... reportedly because he and his father, who was in the back of the truck, claim they were trying to make a citizen's arrest. They claim Ahmaud fit the description of a suspect in a string of recent break-ins in the area.

After the emergence of the video, D.A. Pro Tempore Tom Durden has decided the case "should be presented to the grand jury of Glynn County for consideration of criminal charges against those involved in the death of Mr. Arbery.”

Ahmaud's family says the use of deadly force was unnecessary.

Video Shows Fatal Shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, Unarmed Black Man in Georgia

The fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old unarmed black man, was caught on video and has prompted a grand jury investigation.

Here's the statement from the district attorney who was brought in to oversee the case and decide how and whether the case should be prosecuted.

Attorney Lee Merritt, who represents Arberys mother, claims "The series of events captured in this video confirm what all the evidence indicated prior to its release— Ahmaud Arbery was pursued by three white men that targeted him solely because of his race and murdered him..."

Imagine being hunted by two fat hillbillies in a truck.

I thought the gun went off because jogger guy pulled on the barrel, does anyone know the statement from the shooter regarding this?
Although if he claims self defense, then he probably went the whole intentionally-everything route right?

Just wondering if getting he might have been charged /found guilty of something lesser than this.

It would have changed the charge of murder with malice to a man slaughter charge, at best, which still has felony murder on the table. And he shot Arbery multiple times, so that defense is basically out the window.

This does not constitute a legal right to trespass and burgle a worksite.

Plus there's always something to steal. Always. even if it's just a trowel, a level, or a box of wiring clips.

They were 'minding their own business' in that they were trying to prove to an indifferent police force that they were being targeted by a serial thief.
When you are the target for repeated crime, and the police are too ineffectual to assist you, what the fuck are you supposed to do? Sit back and watch as yourself and your neighbors lose hundreds, if not thousands or dollars worth of property a year and just soak the loss?

The cops in this case should be getting absolutely roasted for allowing this situation to escalate to the point it did.

Keep in the mind the nigger in question has criminal history, he has relatives in prison for felonies and he had schizoaffective disorder.

Georgia state police are cucked beyond belief as well courts who give antifa and BLM rioters a free pass on everything imaginable.

[Techpriest]

Isn't that because they never had a positive ID on the thief? Again, the big issue here is that the cops kept getting calls but never made it out there in time. There was no way anyone, cops or otherwise, would have known exactly who the culprit was.

There were multiple people that had trespassed, and the thefts earlier had no link to Arbery that’s currently known. They were literally going off of “I don’t know him, he has to be the guy stealing things!”

Lol, thanks for the info. I thought, in the video I saw, it was only one shot.
Together with the long chase and hitting him with the car etc., it is really no surprise they got convicted tbh.

Well the neighbour who was burgled at least once was not very forthcoming. He eventually admitted stuff got stolen, but could not even set a time frame when it happened.
IIRC Arbery was caught on a camera there as well, but the contractors he hired were on the table for theft as well.

Here's the full footage:

The body is blurred out. Unsure if the media or the PD did that.

In addition to the 5 gazillion videos on YouTube of the actual trial, a body cam video was posted right in this thread showing Greg McMichael’s first account to police on the scene (please see quote above). You may have to fast forward in places, but Greg talked multiple times and none of it was good.

They never saw Ahmaud doing anything. He matched the description of some guy wandering around construction sites. They didn’t just follow him, they tried to corner him multiple times. Travis should have never gotten out of the damn truck.

I don’t know why Arbery didn’t just run into the woods and hide. I don’t know why he decided to fight a guy holding a shotgun. And I’m not going to shed any tears over a dumb nigger getting ventilated.

However, facts are facts. This was never self defense.

So firstly, this simply reinforces my belief that the cops should absolutely get roasted for indifference and incompetence.
Secondly, if Arbery had a reasonable explanation for his presence and nothing to fear from a citizen’s arrest, it makes his decision to assault a clearly armed man quite puzzling.

This was never self defense.

If you’re legally in possession of a firearm, and someone physically assaults you- especially by grabbing the firearm, indicating a likely intent to disarm you and potentially turn the gun on you- you may have every right to fire at them, especially in a castle doctrine state.
The reasons that McMichaels and Arbery were in proximity to each other are completely irrelevant to the question of whether McMicheals was concerned for his own safety.

Why couldn’t they have just called the police instead to deal with it? What those men did was in vigilante territory, and while I don’t think Arbery is a gem by any means, this was all pretty much street justice, and I don’t want that to be more normalized than it already is in some parts. I think both parties in this case were dumb, but for different reasons.

Because they’d chased him and threatened to shoot him? That they’d tried to block him with their trucks? Why the absolute fuck would you assume they intended anything but violence towards you?

The bodybag had a criminal history and was on probation, known shady activities and Arbery's face was on local papers on top mugshot and list of offenses seen to jurors.

He has been pulling stunts since 2013, brought a gun to school campus (This was on local paper as well) and resisted officers. His latest stunt was in 2018. He was very well known as per usual "muh racism" is a valid defense.
Even Georgia police is afraid of the label.
Claiming that his history wasn't common knowledge is utter nonsense.
There was a very valid reason for this, as per usual it was ignored.
Calling the police that will not

Sshhh don't mention his criminal history and shenanigans that were published in local papers. Namely carrying gun to school and shoplifting. It's not like it was on the public knowledge or anything. Repeat offenders never change

Of course he is a good boy and has no intentions to steal in hopes of some stupid bastard left something behind.

They did not even know Arbury stole anything.

The main issue isn’t Arbery’s criminal history so much as it is the right to citizens arrest and how much force you can use when doing so. These men were outright pursuing him. They could have reported it to the police instead of acting as officers themselves. This isn’t a defense of Arbery so much as not wanting street justice to be used like this on citizens. Arbery could be white and I’d still feel the same way. Police really should be more competent, but that doesn’t mean I want vigilantes possibly killing innocent people if they match a physical description to someone. Arbery wasn’t innocent either in this case, but having vigilantism being more normalized is an awful precedent for everyone.

 

[The Last Stand]

I

A couple things about residential construction sites, gleaned from my time working on them;

1. The people who work on these sites don't leave their valuable personal shit behind, because they know feral tweakers/crackheads, or other tradies are going to come steal them.

2. The developers, contractors, and subcontractors of these places know that shit is going to get stolen from the site and it's built into every estimate and price.

3. There hasn't been valuable shit like copper plumbing and wiring used in new construction since the 80s. Aluminum wiring and CPVC is what they'd find today.

Jed and Jethro should've minded their own business, and let Arbery meet his inevitable end at the hands of a cop/other jogger. Literally nobody else cared what Jogger Prime was up to in that unfinished house.

I know one thing, I'm not getting my ass shot or whatnot over a basic tool.

Bring extras and stash them.

I like how disassociated from reality this ret.arded subforum is.

These three are going to jail for life for murder and there is not a damn thing you can do about it, no matter how much you scream and cry about how Amaud deserved it for being black. Cope seethe and fucking dilate about it, faggot.

Okay rabbi, thanks for your input.

 

[Techpriest]

The bodybag had a criminal history and was on probation, known shady activities and Arbery's face was on local papers on top mugshot and list of offenses seen to jurors.

And they still found the three guilty of murder. Being low level criminal scum doesn’t make you a nonperson. Being mentally ill doesn’t make you a non person. He still had rights, and these three willfully violated them on suspicion alone, then retroactively tried to claim they were protected by the law.

He was a well known thief in the area.

And? They didn’t see him steal anything. They assumed he’d stolen something, chased him, threatened to shoot him, broke the law in doing so, and Arbery died. That’s felony murder.

This is one of the few cases where I think BLM may have had a point, but they ruined it by deifying Arbery and making it out to be “white supremacy” and not people overstepping their boundaries as citizens. Then again, BLM pretty much ruins everything they touch and make cases like these way more racially charged than they should have been in the first place

He was a well known thief, called "The Jogger" because he'd jog around as pretense for his robberies. They caught him jogging and put 2 and 2 together.

You're asking too much from a inept police who had officers who cheat on tests, are corrupt and defunded. You're lucky to get any response.

More this devolves state turn into complete anarchy.

For example heavily armed black militia took to confederate statue and BLM riots started a state of emergency.

Don't hold up your hopes on Georgia police force.

 

[JambledUpWords]

Don't hold up your hopes on Georgia police force.

Never said I was. Doesn’t mean that these men weren’t in the wrong. You’re allowed to think police can be incompetent, but also not want vigilantism as a way to solve problems. The people that control the police force, such as mayors, are what really need an overhaul because they will cuck police forces from actually doing their jobs.
