It's like "hands up don't shoot" and the Nick Sandman fiasco never happened.

It would be nice if just once when one of these incidents occurred the media just played it straight and reported what really happened

Because the two white dudes did act stupidly. You could report it completely straight and portray that with no problem

But the media can't help itself and has to go all in on the racist angle and the innocent black kid just minding his own business angle

and then all of The usual suspects jump on the same silliness

At which point I stop giving a damn about whether or not the white dudes go to jail

You just put your finger on the crux of the problem, the media's dishonest reporting exasperates an issue yet again. I'm not going to get into the legal points because I'm not qualified but the media is not helping things at all and it seems to be on purpose

Don’t take this to the OT, they’re going all in on anyone who doesn’t believe the innocent jogger theory

Inaccurate. Looser standard for felonies, but still a bonehead move.



Eh its pretty darn close. They had to have witnessed it or had immediate knowledge. According to McMichael, he just saw someone jogging and planned to confront him because there had been several break ins recently. Does that seem like he had immediate knowledge of a felony?

Shortly before the deadly altercation, a man called 911 to report they thought someone could be breaking into the home, then a man called 911 to report someone running away.

Was this video taken on that day?

I don't know what this changes for me. You call the police and let them handle it, and you certainly don't escalate the situation.

Couple this with the daddy having direct knowledge that Ahmaud had stolen in the past....Maybe George Barnhill (2nd DA to have the case) wasn’t that far off after all.


Stolen in the past =/= current crime. You cant citizens arrest someone for something thats happenned weeks ago bruh.

So, basically, if they can prove they knew this guy was the guy who committed the felony, they will walk.


No, the shooter has to prove he was in imminent danger at the time of the confrontation.

You’re telling me a local ex cop and former investigator with the DA’s office didn’t hear about this?

Police dispatch reports show Glynn County Police Department received a 911 call on Feb. 23 at 1:08 p.m., reporting a man on the construction site, and noting there had “been some break-ins in the area lately.”

So these guys didn’t see a crime, hear glass breaking or a garage door opening, or use any other sense besides listening to a phone call?

The media is no doubt trying to make this a race issue like they always do. I'm not sure if that's true or not.

IMO, I think this probably has more to do with these two guys being hot heads. They were looking for confrontation.

I'm just going to help all of you guys out right now

These guys are going to walk.

You can come to terms with it or not and you can be mad at me for saying it I don't really care

They're going to walk

Nothing justifies the video. Trying to defend it makes folks look worse.

Doesn't matter if the guy was running with stolen items. You can't do what they did.

I know you can’t. But it can be material pointing to the dads mindset if he had knowledge of him running from the house.

They have been dumb the whole time, it just changes the stupid narrative this was a innocent black kid just jogging and white people having a hunting season for blacks
