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.

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER for the long-winded double-posting crown!

So far we have three mighty contenders full of vim and vigor vacuity and verbosity!

The reigning champion of rambling vapidity with the post size to match his excessive ego, Galtataur!

That gay guy with the small font to hide big wordcounts, Middlemarch!

And now, coming in hot, the darkie-disdaining feline, Snickerdoodle!

Who will reign as supreme among spergs?!

(Seriously this is hilarious, keep it up please.)

It's possible to think that they went about it stupidly and still think that the sentencing was a complete joke. Especially when many people in the US and other Western countries have committed premeditated murder and have received much lighter sentences. The US and other Western legal systems are complete jokes and third-world-tier, at best.

Yeah, they should have received jail time, but life without parole is just insanity. You don't have to think that they were in the right to think that their sentencing was still a complete joke.

Agreed. The Redneck Batman posse probably had "good intentions" (keeping the neighborhood safe), and looking at the big picture, Arbery had an escalating rap sheet that likely would have ended with him being dead or in jail for a long time.

Also agree it's not right to pretend the McMichaels did nothing wrong. You can't posse up and try to run some guy down with your truck while brandishing a shotgun because you suspect he committed petty theft from your neighbor's property that you didn't actually witness. That's absolute retardation, and I have no problem with them going to prison for it.

In a sane world, the McMichaels would probably get manslaughter and serve about 12-15 years, and the camera guy would get notably less. But between clown world and the dumbest legal representation possibly ever witnessed in a high profile case, they're fucked.

This whole incident couldn't have turned out better.
One criminal removed from society
Three hillbillies removed from society
Everyone wins!

 

[Overly Serious]

No, you only do not have the right to gun someone down because you think he committed a crime.

There's no such reference to "gun someone down" or anything equivalent in the legal amendment. It says that the right or a private citizen to arrest someone is removed. That to me implies only the police are allowed to arrest someone. And if so then that seems like removing the right of a the individual to prevent someone committing a crime or escaping having done so.

TOPLINE​

The white men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery were found guilty of federal hate crimes Tuesday, following a trial that focused on race as the main factor in Arbery's death where prosecutors documented numerous instances of what they say was a history of racist behavior from the men.

KEY FACTS​

The father-and-son pair of Gregory and Travis McMichael, along with neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, were found guilty on one count each of interfering with Arbery's civil rights, which is a hate crime.

Prosecutors at the trial argued the men chased down and killed Arbery, an unarmed, 25-year-old Black man, because they were driven by "racial resentment and racial anger."
To back up that claim, they introduced numerous text messages and social media posts showing the men repeatedly using the n-word and other racist language, along with testimony suggesting the McMichaels wished death upon Black people.
Defense attorneys argued the premise of the trial was wrong, saying the men chased down Arbery because they thought he was a burglary suspect—not because he was Black.
The hate crimes charges carry a life sentence, though the men were already sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of murder.

CRUCIAL QUOTE​

“There’s a big difference between being vigilant and being a vigilante,” Justice Department attorney Christopher Perras said in his closing argument.

SURPRISING FACT​

The McMichaels were set to plead guilty last month before a judge rejected the terms of the plea deal amid criticism from Arbery's family. The deal would have allowed the McMichaels to serve the first 30 years of their sentences in federal prison rather than state prison. Neither have the possibility of parole.

KEY BACKGROUND​

The November murder trial that saw the three men convicted of murder brought renewed national attention to the case, and the guilty verdicts were hailed as a major victory in the fight to combat racial injustice. But the murder trial largely did not take race into account, instead focusing on the men's claim that Arbery's killing was done in self-defense part of a botched citizen's arrest. Prosecutors successfully argued self-defense was not possible since the men were acting as aggressors when they chased down and killed Arbery on February 23, 2020. After the killing, it took authorities 74 days to arrest anyone, which only happened after a video of the murder was released and widely shared. Arbery's vigilante-style killing and the subsequent sluggish response prompted national outrage just weeks before a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd, and Arbery went on to be memorialized by many protesters during Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the summer of 2020.

Didn't the cops tell them to posse up? If I remember right they literally were told by cops in the area previously to try to keep him in the area until they could arrive (which was likely never.)

I think a lot of people are growing to lose faith in law enforcement, not just due to lower standards or worse training, but events were people are afraid to protect themselves out of fear of the police coming down like a hammer on usually law abiding citizens while people like George Floyd can be human garbage for their entire lives only to be deified when they OD in a convenient circumstance. My cousins who are lawyers have basically talked shit about family court for decades because of how highly personal the rulings are and how those attitudes are slowly finding themselves in higher courts. Worse is if people drop masks and fully decide to use the gavel to carry out their political will more then they already do.

it's pretty disturbing to see how completely void of any pretense of legitimacy things have gotten at the heights of our most central and vital institutions. I don't think America can be saved at this point, with the disease having progressed this far. our political organs are failing. this is just another sign of that fact. what those guys did was somewhere between stupid and wrong, but it wasn't deserving of a life sentence under any metric. people are celebrating it like it's a civil rights victory for blacks and a triumph against white supremacy. it's nothing short of mass insanity. but that insanity is the mainstream right now, which is pretty fucking depressing. it's just the reality of life today. people are stupid and love to mob together and burn witches. always have. libshits are the same, except probably worse now because they actually sincerely believe that they're smarter and more morally informed than everyone else, despite being the dictionary definition of midwits.

it's just base emotional hatred expressing itself through the facade of political belief. "me team better than you team." humans aren't much better than apes, including whites. most of this shit is just barbaric ape warfare, taking place at the same mental vibration as monkeys throwing poop at eachother. hooting and hollering in fancy tongues about "BLM" and "white supremacy." everything that plagued our species 5000+ years ago still plagues it. we're really not that evolved. best to lower those expectations down to zero, because human beings (apes) will always let you down.

These three men killed someone. They are murderers. That's why they got life in prison without parole.

Amaud being black doesn't make it any less of a murder.

 

[JohnDoe]

These three men killed someone. That's why they got life in prison without parole.

They got life in prison because the media, politicized DAs and race-grifting parasites all conspired to destroy them for the benefits of their narrative, their careers, and their pocketbooks.

These three men were victims, first of Aubrey, now of the government and all three will die as martyrs.

I don't get how you don't comprehend that first degree MURDER is a crime punishable by LIFE IN PRISON.

Are you trying to say that they didn't kill Arbery on camera? Get your eyes checked.

The self defense doctrine precludes your assertion that all killing is murder.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

The only practical effect of this is that they will never be freed, not even when the inevitable Brady violations that the prosecution almost certainly indulged in are discovered in a few years.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

All I’m going to say here is that it’s a little ironic that they were charged with “hate crimes”, yet recently there was news that a BLM leader attempted an assassination plot on an actual politician and was then released on bail.

While in the same breath, a literal murderer who stabbed a child to death was ruled incompetent to stand trial, and weeks ago, the guy who mauled all those kids and old ladies down with his SUV seriously plead “NOT GUILTY” for his actions that he himself created.

It‘s a little weird when people say Ahmaud got “justice” when the same supporters of his grow silent when one of their own do heinous crimes and are largely getting away with it.

A necro as a formality, the three men got additional life sentences via the federal courtroom. Even the screwed over cameraman is now behind bars for life without parole:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/22/guilty-verdict-in-federal-hate-crime-trial-in-ahmaud-arberys-death.html

I question if CNBC added that quip at the end just as a fuck you, since we know the guys called 911 when they first saw Aubery.

With this all said, in clown world 2021 if you have to kill a black criminal:
Don't record
Don't call 911
Bury
SHUT UP
It doesn't matter if you were justified or not, your fate will be the 3 men above if you are put in a situation where you need to take the law into your own hands. The court room will not side with you regardless of the pretext.
