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.

God forbid anyone memorialize a man that was brutally murdered. I sure hope you bring up every traffic ticket and red light your parents crossed at their funeral after they pass away. Wouldn't want to whitewash their legacy, make sure everyone knows they littered on the freeway when you were younger.

The funniest part is that you were probably one of the many people here that actually deified Kyle Rittenhouse in his thread and ignore his history of beating up girls smaller than him. But no, tell me more about how BLM whitewashes their causes.

There’s a difference between having a long rap sheet and littering. The media could have brought it up at least once, but they didn’t. I’m not really a fan of the guys that killed Arbery, but I’m tired of the media treating every person that dies like this as someone that could do no wrong.

he was rushing them for the gun because they were chasing him in their hillbilly pickup and threatened to shoot him, and, i know this may come as a shock, but even black people get tired of running. you know the whole fight or flight thing? well, he physically couldn't run anymore, so he fought back. what did you want him to do? stand there and get fucking run down? and no, i wouldn't stick around for a "citizen's arrest" after being chased by rednecks in a truck carrying guns threatening to shoot me, so i understand why Arbery didn't, either.

So you admit you're a sperg? Or do you actually believe they would have 'lynched' him while recording? If he had gotten down on the ground I can fucking promise you he'd still be alive and none of this would have happened. But he decided not to, to rush at a guy holding a gun and try to wrestle it from his hands.

Idk, maybe actually see and testify you saw the guy stealing when you went to "arrest" him?

Everyone bitching about this doesn't seem to get that everything they are saying about Arbury can be true and the McMichaels can still be found legally guilty because they did not have cause to arrest him. Was he a thief? Yes. Did he steal that day? Maybe, idk. I do know it doesn't matter because they didn't see it so they had no justification to arrest him and so killing him during an unlawful arrest is a crime and they are going to jail.

All of this could have been avoided if they simply claimed they saw him stealing but these dumbass mother fuckers broke rule #1 and talked to the cops immediately after the incident.

Imagine being a retired cop and not knowing everything you say will be used agaisnt you.

Not only that, but your right to self defense goes out the window when your committing a felony act, which they did multiple times. The right to self defense is broad, but it does not defend you from the consequences of your own illegal actions.

because i'm sure they would have kept recording if they caught him. definitely. they had no right chasing him, and you can't detain people for no fucking reason. they didn't see him steal anything, and even if they did, theft isn't punishable by murder.

For all Arbery knew, he was about to be executed on the street or beaten half to death. What he did was dumb, but it’s an action that falls under self defense. He had reason to believe he was in fear of his life, limb, and liberty, and behaved accordingly.

He probably thought that just because he used to be a cop, that he'd get away with it. Because cops often cover each other's asses especially in cases of corruption.

It seems every single person that gets lionized in this manner is a giant piece of shit.

They did catch him and they were still recording. I get that you and the other speds really want this to be "LITERALLY THE KKK LYNCHING HIM WHILE LAUGHING AND SINGING DIXIE" but that is not what we see at all.

no he should have gone "yes massa sorry massa" and got on his hands and knees to appease these two rednecks he doesn't know, who had been chasing him in their hillbilly truck while threatening to shoot him only seconds before.

clearly he is at fault.

There hasn't been valuable shit like copper plumbing and wiring used in new construction since the 80s.

Depends where you live. In my country, there's nothing BUT copper wiring and plumbing pipes. But we aren't plagued with niggers, and abos are too lazy to steal anything that requires effort.

Immediately prior to the shooting, what felony acts had the McMichaels committed?

For all Arbery knew, he was about to be executed on the street or beaten half to death. What he did was dumb, but it’s an action that falls under self defense. He had reason to believe he was in fear of his life, limb, and liberty, and behaved accordingly.

He could have acquiesced and waited for the cops with an unlikely chance of being shot. Instead he chose to attack, knowing he would almost certainly be shot.

You‘re literally arguing that Arbery initiating an un-necessary physical assault was self-defense, and that McMichaels shooting Arbery for attacking and trying to obtain his firearm was not.

You continually bring arguments irrelevant to the claim of self-defence to the table to try to muddy the waters.
You frequently, if not exclusively, use loaded and emotive terms and phrases to cover for gaps in facts and knowledge.
In short, your hypocrisy and hyperbole marks you out as someone with strong opinions and emotions but little grasp of logic.

Good day to you, sir. I have no further interest in trying to have a rational discussion of facts with someone whom, like you, thinks and debates like a teenage girl.

Races have essences, either in a metaphorical sense or indeed a literal sense. Rednecks embody the White man’s individualism and courage.

The essence of the soul is in the blood.

Your post directly below mine shows you for what you are: a race grifting asshole who wants this to be a poor good boy get lynched by those big awful rednecks.

He was a known criminal who had been at this a long time. They had caught him and were still recording. If he hadn't charged for that shotgun he would be alive. But he did, so he isn't, and disingenuous assholes like you can use it to spin more bullshit.

Ever thought of being a journalist? You'd fit right in.

see, and i think you're a filthy racist who is intentionally downplaying the role race played in this situation. if you took a white man and put him in Arbery's place, and things played out exactly the same up until the moment the hillbillies chased him, the difference would be that the rednecks wouldn't have chased him, because he was white.

i know racists refuse to acknowledge that, yeah, we still have a problem with race in this country, but please, try to have some empathy.

Immediately prior to the shooting, what felony acts had the McMichaels committed?

Aggravated assault, as they’d tried to run him off the road and threatened to shoot him while holding firearms, and aiming them at him. False imprisonment, as they had no legal justification to detain him. These are felonies. They got convicted of these felonies in fact. Because they got convicted of these felonies, therefore why they did is no longer self defense, it is felony murder. Because it is no longer self defense, for Travis it is murder with malice, because he intentionally shot someone. In fear of his life or not, because he was committing a felony, and Arbery was not, congratulations, that’s homicide.
