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.

Sure Chauvin got the rough end of the pineapple. There was obviouly no intent to snuff the homeboy out but he knew he was on camera and should have played it smarter.

I still can't believe how many people are completely oblivious to the racial politics and optics that pervade everything.

We don't live in a sane and rational society when it comes to these matters, and the legal system won't hesitate to throw the book at a white person, even if the intent isn't there in a case. Kyle Rittenhouse got lucky in the fact that he only hit white males. If any of them were black and/or female, he never would have seen the outside of a prison cell ever again.

You know what's funny?

I've worked with jail birds and the like, listened to the stories, been shown the wonderful tattoos and shit and the great talk of the white supremacy.

They were all of them white mutts with bloodlines as unpure as tap water. I find white trash get drawn to it because they are at the bottom of the totem pole and need someone to poke.

I mean, in a country of great wealth, they are at the bottom of the barrel with trailer parks and the like, and the only comfort they can find it hating other races that have segments as poor as they are; and pretending that because of their color they somehow have a brotherhood with those richer and better than them.

Imagined membership for a non-existent lineage is the vestige of not only the ignorant, it is also of the filth of the gutter living in delusion with enough stupidity to actually believe it enough to think it's actually real. If anyone is stupid enough to think that the color of their skin is the primary reason for membership, and that intelligence, genes, economics and morality has no part in it, then you've met a person who is not mired in ignorance and untruth, but someone who lives in a delusion that has been spoon fed to them for centuries in order to get them to have the fight those better than them know they don't have to fight because they have pawns in these fools.

And line up they do.

I would say the video footage and additional FBI footage saved him. He already made two attempts to shoot Jumpkick man after the kick to the face and missed twice, as Huber came running in like a retard with the skateboard and found out the hard way of fucking about.

The main point for me, is the amount of footage in his situation that completely exonerated Kyle. Without the footage backing Kyle's claims, he was uber fucked and getting life in prison.

The main lesson is always take footage and I remember during the great Chimpout of 2020 that some of the antifa fags were trying to destroy cameras.

but race has nothing to do with this, no sir. this would have happened /exactly/ the same way if Arbery were white.

If Ahmaud Arbery was instead Armand Andersen, here’s what would’ve happened: They would’ve asked AYAK? (Are you a Klansman), he would’ve replied AKIA (A Klansman I Am), then they’d have given him whatever tools he wanted from the construction site because that’s just what Aryan brothers do.

I guess nobody ever clued you in on The White Man’s Arrangement growing up because they sensed you were a rabble-rousing progressive sort. Sucks for you to miss out on so much free copper wire.

Cannellini beans, with ditalini. Fresh tomatoes and a bit of pancetta if you want to go a bit savory. Otherwise the typical fresh vegetables. Some its stew-like, some pasta. I make mine hot and soup-like, sort of like a heavier minestrone.

Dude, you are literally saying that he deserved to get shot for taking like an $8 hammer for a construction site. And the point is moot anyway, even if he did engage in one of the pettiest fucking crimes imaginable. They didn't see him take it, he didn't admit to it. Therefore they don't get to use the citizen's arrest law as cover. They rode down a man, came at him with a shotgun, saying they just wanted to 'talk'.

I mean, you're arguing a human life is worth not even an individual's property, but some random contracting company who probably gets a bulk discount on all the hammers and shit they lose on sites. So, in your world they killed a guy over a $4 piece of equipment not owned by anyone. Just admit you hate niggers and don't care because no one in their right fucking mind is going to agree that taking a hammer on an open construction site = death.

No, he didn't deserve to be shot. But when he decided to fucking charge a guy with a shotgun and try to wrestle it out of his hands? That's on him.

You can argue the guys overstepped their boundaries here and that's an argument I can see. But the points are:
A) He was well known criminal in the area
B) He was actively doing what people reported he always did when robbing
C) These guys were the neighorhood watch

You can argue that they have no justification for trying to police their area, but then you must ask "If this guy was a well known criminal why had it been going on for months already?" Do you think the police were never called before? They knew who he was, knew his MO and had apparently told these guys to be on the look out for this guy.

Now, moving away from that argument, in the actual confrontation itself we see them corner him and, very pointedly, not gun him the fuck down in cold blood. He could have gotten on the ground and things would have been fine. He could have run away and things would have been fine. What he did was decide to fucking charge and disarm them, which lead to him being shot.

At this point the argument I'm seeing against this in this thread is "lol look at these low IQ inbred dumbfuck racists they'd have lynched him and beaten him to death he had to stand up for himself" and, quite frankly, that is a load of utter horse shit. If these guys were so fucking bloodthirsty that they'd kill him at the drop of a hat why didn't they whilst chasing him? Why didn't they shoot him as soon as he stopped? Why didn't they run him over?

But no, instead be a fucking retard and say "they were rednecks! that means they're evil racist bigots literally nazis!"

Unless your last name is McMichael or Bryan. In that case I would advice you to destroy it and not send it to some radio station.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what caused the commotion.
According to the defense only 1 of the 2 conditions had to be met to make a citizen's arrest. The 2nd part applies to McMichaels/Bryan.
but according to the judge both conditions had to be met and he instructed the jury to make a verdict based on both conditions. So yeah, they were
fucked before the trial even started.

fyi - It's a screenshot from the Charges Conference provided by the defense and that's why the 2nd part is in bold.

 

[Xarpho]

I'm ignoring the rest if your post, but I want to address the concept of defunding the police. What defunding the police means is that SOME of the funds that would normally go to police are instead used for things like professionals who know how to deal with mental illness, since clearly our police are incapable of dealing with the mentally ill without maiming or killing them.

so tired of seeing this talking point. as though we want to completely defund police. god forbid some of their bloated budgets are used for things other than military-grade weaponry.

Defund is defund, as in, divert funds away from the police department, it's the same as "defund the arts" or "defund the transit" ideas that ruffle feathers of the politically-involved in cities.

Only in this case, it's not nosy normies, it's violent psychopaths who like to destroy everything in their path. I mean, when Kyle Rittenhouse went out to put out fires in Kenosha, who attacked him? Criminals with big rap sheets.

Furthermore, this whole thing got started because of Floyd, who didn't have any obvious mental illnesses that would've prevented him from interacting normally with police, and can't even admit that Floyd may have been acting high on fentanyl, which would've supported a position of better training by police, but it would undermine the whole "Chauvin slowly crushed his windpipe" narrative, and that can't happen now, could it?

In reality the "reaction" to "Defund the Police" has led to retarded articles like "Maybe if you just TALK to violent criminals, you can stop them!" or "Don't call the police if the suspect is PoC" or "reinvesting money in those communities" (as in, free gibs) or actual policy that accepts criminals, like legalized shoplifting in San Francisco, then when CVS starts closing their stores or Safeway closes at 9pm, they start wringing their hands and making excuses. Meanwhile, in places like Houston's downtown, which still has the "diverse" clientele hanging around, the CVS is open until 10pm on weekdays, and the Randalls supermarket (same ownership as Safeway) is open until 11pm. Why is that? Because Houston's leadership, pozzed and corrupt as it is at times, still realizes that shoplifting isn't a victimless crime and doesn't give people free reign to grab as much as they can off the shelf.

tl;dr "Defund the Police" is exactly what it sounds like

Look, they didn't know who he was. They thought they recognized him in the video. It has never been proven it was him and he was not, nor has ever been a suspect. He was on an empty construction site, not smashing car windows and stealing things. You can't look at hindsight. Even in Rittenhouse you couldn't look at hindsight. Point is, they were the aggressors and created the situation. If you do that, you lose your claim to self defense. They didn't meet the requirements for a citizen's arrest, so yeah, they got false imprisonment and murder. The man was retreating, they chased him down. They cornered him. You cannot be the aggressor of an unlawful situation where you kill someone and not get punished.

Yes, he charged them because he's a mentally ill man who was prone to violence. If you go, "Well that's excuse enough!" It isn't. They were advancing and provoking him. It is precisely why you don't have untrained people going around like the law. And a neighborhood watch....you know, WATCHES. Its not a fucking militia group. The whole point is to call the police if you see something or call your neighbors to protect them. It isn't to go around making citizen's arrests.

I don't think people want to gun me down in broad daylight, maybe they want to just 'talk to me' in the back of their fucking pickup. They had no authority or right to do what they did. Aubrey had no idea who they were, and like I said, if they ran up on someone armed, they would have likely triggered a firefight in a suburban neighborhood. This entire ordeal is patently why we don't have people police their neighborhoods.

They reacted completely recklessly, caused a dangerous situation and then brought the entire fire on themselves by releasing a fucking videotape of the whole thing by themselves. Instead of shutting the fuck up and talking to a lawyer. Maybe the outcome would have been less severe. But they brought the entirety of the situation down on themselves, from start to finish. They didn't understand the law and did not understand the consequence or magnitude of what they were doing. The only one I have sympathy for is the guy filming it who had bad council and said stupid shit.

I don't care if they're racist or not. That point is moot. They were completely ignorant to the extremely dangerous situation they were creating. People are getting their panties in a bunch because I said confederate flag. Yes, because it goes to how dumbfuck stupid they were that they couldn't understand running a black man down in the South with a shotgun and a confederate flag on their truck might be a little bit more than adversarial.

Oh the horror.

Do I honestly have to explain why a black man in Georgia might feel threatened by armed white dudes coming at him with a shotgun with a confederate flag on their truck?

I think you're giving people too much credit in terms of understanding their ideologies. Since there are two forms of politics in the US with one half of one cunt hair's difference between them, it seems prudent to point out that for every political party is there is one brain disease to match.

The libs' brain disease is thinking that everything is a NPR episode with some middle aged twink like Guy Raz explaining how to solve an age old problem as if it's an undergrad group mid term assignment. Because that's what the libs identify with, every cat lady in Boston had one enjoyable run in life: she went from hating her pharma exec father, to blowing her theater professor, to hating her pharma exec husband. As such, looking at the world like a college exam appeals to people like them.

The chuds' brain disease is thinking that a bunch of guys who transition from riding in golf carts to riding in a Rascal(tm) diabeetus mobile faster than most YouTroons transition their profile pics from one gender to another can 1) actually exterminate all the negroes and 2) get their license plates made in some other cost effective way if number one comes to pass. This is ironic considering they are the vice president of paperclips and staplers at the trucking company that delivers the cat lady's father's pills to the unattended CVS stores full of looters. You would think their (online) Supply Chain Management degree from Southeast Arizona State would make for more rational opinions. Why is that not the case? Because their uncle "Skooter" had the same job before them, and he was also a regular contributor to Our Lady of the Great Salt Dome Academy in Burnt Scrotum, New Mexico, who actually owns the pharma company due to a 17th century arrangement with the precursor to the Sinaloa cartel. So chud junior just kinda fell into his lot in life, in the same way he's going to fall in the toilet after his first meat sweat induced heart attack. He really doesn't know anything other than the last Facebook notification to pop up on his phone.

No matter which ideology a retard chooses, the common trait is that everything to them is a mirror. No one is actually supposed to "do" their ideology, it's just for tweets.

 

[Xarpho]

In regards to this case, the three got massively fucked over by the court system (at least in trumped-up charges) and I do not think they went in with the intent to kill the guy, especially since they had a chance to kill him earlier in cold blood. At the same time, they did inadvertently commit a felony to begin with (chasing him down with weapons and all that) and when Arbery's death occurred, even if it was technically an accident, that became felony murder. It's the same way in Texas. There was a case where a black man, after attempting to clean up his act and get legitimate jobs, ended up becoming a getaway driver for a felony. I'm not sure what the felony was (probably a robbery) that ended up with someone dead. As a result, he ended up getting 20 years even after many pleaded on his behalf of trying to turn his life around and getting sucked into a situation where he would be charged with a felony.

And of course, in his case, many agreed that he was also unfairly fucked by the law. Either way, the law fucks over people equally in this case, whether in that guy's case or in the case of William Bryan, arguably the "least guilty" of them.

You could argue that the three men in this case didn't intend to commit a first felony at all and were acting in accordance to Georgia law, but they didn't even follow the letter of the law correctly and made a bunch of mistakes that sealed their fate.

- They didn't have enough probable cause to confront Arbery. Wikipedia is pozzed to fuck, with "no evidence" that Arbery was involved in previous burglaries. However, a blurry video of a black guy running around in the neighborhood stealing random shit while out walking is circumstantial evidence and a half-decent lawyer can poke holes in it, which they did—hence, the "Arbery dindu nuffin" narrative.
- Chasing someone with a rifle is aggressive behavior. If there was a chance that Arbery was going to fight back, then a handgun, preferably concealed, would have done the trick.
- Not calling 911 while confronting Arbery.
- Not attempting to render aid to Arbery (I can't find if they actually did or not, seems that would be mentioned in the case notes).
- Using the "gamer word" in public, where you might be recorded, or could be charged with a crime.

The only thing that kind of sticks out here is why would their defense attorney (who had the video) send the video a radio station to play publicly? That's basically case tampering, and he should've been the one railed for that.

Also, comparing this to Rittenhouse is stupid, not necessarily because Rittenhouse had video proving that he wasn't the aggressor, or that Rittenhouse got off because he didn't kill anyone black, but the situations were very different. Most importantly, Arbery wasn't actively helping torch the neighborhood or even had been seen running off an expensive piece of equipment--in terms of police officers, a crime in progress means that you can start kicking down doors without a warrant. Arbery wasn't armed, either with anything that could be used as a weapon or a weapon directly. Also the eyewitness testimony and character references surrounding it were different. Rittenhouse was there with a med kit and was cleaning graffiti off schools. Meanwhile, there wasn't much helping the three involved in the Arbery case.

lol.

Alright. "Niggers steal and crime constantly, they live like savages, defending their nonexistent honor because they got shot by some other asshole (right or wrong) is fucking bizarre". This sounds like most whites I know that have come out of prison.

I've been held at gunpoint also - to my head. What is your point? Badge of honor? Having a broken arm doesn't make you an expert on broken arms.

"u can't just shoot someone for it" and BAM the next thing you know you live in a chaotic 3rd world shithole."

Great syntax, lovely construction and brilliant use of the English language here for me to learn from; I can see I'm a poor example when compared to your incredible writing skills.

So I guess every country in the world is just a stone's throw away from being a 3rd world country...if they have blacks. I guess you haven't travelled much. And no, it doesn't count if you travelled under Military.

Somehow, you just can't live with blacks. Which actually means you find it hard living with anybody. I'm positive from your disclosure it is just about everybody that you have a problem with. The problem with racists is that in general, the real problem is they just hate everybody and like to soap box about one particular color as an outlet of their frustration.

Behind every racist, I've always found a generally miserable cunt to be at the core of them. You are no exception.

We need a neolib rating.
