re: Georgia Attorney General Asks For DOJ Probe Into Handling Of Ahmaud Arbery Case

I'm serious, there is zero evidence of this and the media just ran with it.

Technically speaking, there is not zero evidence that he was jogging. 911 calls state there was a black man running in the neighborhood. The Mcmichaels state they saw him running in front of their house. On the shooting video, he was seen running on the street.

Whether he was running for excercise, or running for another reason, we do not know completely. But it is pretty obvious that he was running in the neighborhood.

I seriously doubt Arbery was just some random jogger. I'm sure that part is fabricated to make him appear like an innocent choir member. I haven't heard where he lives or anything other than he was just jogging in this random neighborhood. Did he live in the neighborhood or very close? None of that really matters but it plays to the narrative I see all my black friends posting about 'Hard to be a black man in America', etc. Of course the media will seize the day on the ONE time this legit happened.

As a conceal carrier in Georgia, you have to be aware of these types of situations. When do you have the right to use your firearm to kill another person. It's something everyone should consider if they carry or have quick access to a firearm. I don't believe the father and son will get out of this shooting with anything other than murder. Not sure on which degree or if they get lethal injection for it, but you aren't allowed to create a situation where someone has to defend themselves and call it self defense. It doesn't matter if Arbery was on that property or even in it. The law is fairly lenient on what classifies as self defense, but the video is very damning towards their case.

Good. The McMichaels did not meet the standard (per the police report, their statements, or Georgia law) to engage in a citizen’s arrest. At the very least, this should have gone to a grand jury with the first DA to let the people decide whether charges should be pursued.

It’s very clear the first two DAs were covering for a former law enforcement buddy and his kid. Who knows what else they’re swept under the rug.

Honestly, I don’t see the issue with the recusals but with the caveat that the second DA’s letter is indefensible.

The first DA—one of the men worked in her office, she likely wouldn’t want the defense attorneys making a fuss about that in public or otherwise. The second was asked by the family to recuse himself. Again, what’s the issue? I don’t know the details of the investigation itself by LEO and not giving an opinion about that

No one really cares about the jogging narrative here except for those who are just bleating about muh media. Given the facts that are available, whether AA was out for "just a jog" or not is really irrelevant to the crimes that have been charged to the McMichaels.

The issue is the first DA instructed police not to make any arrests even though the officers on the scene who spoke to all of the witnesses believed they had probable cause. That's issue number 1.

Issue 2 is that the second DA seems to have just sat on it for a while and then improperly writes a letter giving his tainted opinion to the 3rd DA.

It looks like the 3rd DA hadn't gotten around to it yet, or perhaps was about to impanel a grand jury, but the video gets leaked and he says frick all this mess I need the state to step in and handle this clusterfrick.

This point is just irrelevant and is being held onto by racists to defend these murderers.

Wow, what a bunch of dumbasses we have in this board. You post statistical evidence and people don’t like it.

I wasn’t saying these guys are innocent.
Just saying black people don’t jog. ?

Because bs article is bs. How are you gonna tell me, a black man, that I or neither anyone I know is a liar when we say we jog.

Statistical improbability provides reason to doubt, regardless of your hurt feelings.
