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.

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.

This has just taught everybody never to get involved in things like this, especially if the suspect is "diverse". It just creates an unnecessary liability. I mean, it was their neighbors' house to begin with, they should have just stayed out of it all together. They were a disinterested party, after all.

Of course, the case and sentence were still based entirely on racial optics. The case never would have gone to court if it were a white methead instead. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

It wouldn’t have blown up to the national level, possibly, but there were lots of questions about this case. It likely would have come to trial.

My only takeaway from this: never record.
Without the footage, it would have been a case of 3 upstanding white men's words against one suspect jogger. Things would have gone much differently.

It should be kind of obvious that it's a really bad idea to film yourself committing murder and then hand the footage to police.

No, it wouldn't have. It only went to trial in the first place because some social justice activist discovered the case, brought attention to it, and it was re-opened. The interest in this case was 100% racially motivated. The case deserved to go to trial, but the interest in re-opening it was only because of racial politics.

there's something to be said about the people continuing to shit on the victim after he's dead. like they are trying to find any excuse for why arbery must have done something, that he must have been at fault, for his fate to be what it was.

the dude was murdered and there are people sitting here going "yeah well he had it comin', he shouldn't have been doing -insert whatever version of reality fits your narrative here-" like wow, you people suck in the worst way.

imagine being okay with rednecks running down and killing minorities. ah shit there's that gosh darn moralizing again.

Arberry will not fuck you for jogging to his defense.

 

[JohnDoe]

The McMichaels weren't the fucking police. They had absolutely no authority over him. He had no reason to stop and follow their orders.

Under the law at the time they had the right to affect a citizen's arrest.

 

[Lurker]

Arberry will not fuck you for jogging to his defense.

you will never be part of the master race because you defend retarded rednecks. and you can quote me, love, i don't mind.

Why do all the left-wingers beg for my attention?

It's flattering, yet uncouth.

 

[Synthetic Smug]

It's not like he can say no at this point.

 

[GenericYuserName1997]

I think he should

Nope, he didn't.

ask yourself why he tried to grab the gun
could it be because he was being chased by people who were trying to kill him with said gun

He should of held on to the hammer, he could of used that as a weapon. But having an a average nigger IQ meant that he has a lack of critical thought. somewhere in his peanut sized brain he said ‘fuk dat craka, ima kang’ and it didn’t work out.

 

[X Prime]

It's not like he can say no at this point.

For many of the libby-libs here, I'd argue that's a feature, not a bug.

 

[Ser Prize]

This dead nigger country is a farce. Please nuke us China

That's what they get for dare harming a Person Of Colour!

Why do all the left-wingers beg for my attention?

It's flattering, yet uncouth.

it's called "participating in a conversation on a forum where multiple people are posting" and "having forum etiquette". i know autistics are socially-inept, but fuck /me/, you're dense

The ladyboy doth protest too much.

 

[MadStan]

The sentences were as expected.

Very harsh for Bryan, but as expected the judge was going to thump him hard and he did. I always expected them to never see daylight again, but I thought Bryan might when he is 25-40 years down the line, so perhaps when he is 75 he might get a chance to show us his false teeth by then.

For the Hillbilly 3 supporters, a big "fuck you" goes out to all of you for finding any reason to justify what these pricks did. But feel free to whine why this is some great injustice...again.

Feel free to jump in and explain away why the "Hillbilly 3" are actually heroes.

 

[Handyman]

It should be kind of obvious that it's a really bad idea to film yourself committing murder and then hand the footage to police.

They didn’t think that they had committed murder. They took the video because they intended to make a lawful citizen’s arrest. And nothing in the video was really indispute as much as the circumstances preceding the incident.

They caught a serial petty thief casing the neighborhood and in typical Ahmaud Arbury fashion, he reacted stupidly and impulsively to being confronted. It was not his first time.

The guy who took the video is going to prison for life.

 

[Neil]

Under the law at the time they had the right to affect a citizen's arrest.

No, they weren't. They didn't have immediate knowledge of a crime, nor could they suspect Arbery of fleeing after committing a felony. Trespassing is a light misdemeanor. Something you can't citizen's arrest someone for.

You're just too much of a pussy to respond to anyone directly. If using the Reply button is too hard for you, you can just @Lurker.

Probably because the world is a better place without him in it.
He even took 3 rednecks with him. How noble.
