It doesn’t justify those guys shooting him in the street but adds context to the story. As usual, he wasn’t likely just some angel doing something innocent. This is why I always reserve judgment until the court does.


Something I TRIED to tell people for dozens of posts the other day.

You'd think people would learn.

It could Shorty. Also could wind up with a conviction for a lesser included offense like Invol. Mans.
I suppose. But, I actually doubt that if they're prosecuted, a MS charge is even put on the table.

Even then, let me be blunt here.

This video ain't going to be the last thing we find out the media failed to tell us.

I think some people are confusing stupidity and what’s lawful.

Were they stupid to attempt a citizens arrest rather than just follow him until the cops arrive? Yes

But they are within the law to attempt a citizens arrest because they had direct knowledge even if they didn’t witness a crime. This was done on the same day Ahmaud was caught on video breaking into a house under construction. Once they had him trapped they attempted to get him to comply until the cops arrived. He charged and grabbed the gun and then got shot.

We can sit here all day and discuss all of the dumb things done, but the law is very clear.

According to McMichaels he saw someone running, and started to plan a confrontation, because there were break ins over the past couple weeks or something. No mention of actually witnessing anything at that point.


Correct. And the hundreds of posters who said “you can’t tell anything from a few second of video” can now tell you everything you need to know.

Laughable.

The problem is that he is now a lot deader because a white person did it rather than another black person.

Same with South Africa. Slavery and oppression was and is fine, unless done by someone of European origin.

What a screwed up world.

They have to have direct knowledge of a felony. They’re still a ways away from seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

And direct knowledge is not “a guy told us.”

Plus I feel confident that the Mcmichaels hadn't seen the video referenced in the OP prior to the shooting.

What are you talking about?

There's probably a bunch of shite yet to be put out.

But, I do now know for a fact that the "innocent jogger just hunted by bored white dudes" narrative is dead as frick.

I'm not a gambling man, but gun to my head forcing me to bet, these dudes walk.

I know I know. I'm sure everyone will regale me with the legal reasons they shouldn't. To which my response is. Cool story. They're gonna walk.

That’s because in your retarded efforts to be irrationally contrarian you conflate inappropriate with illegal.

It was already known that he was in the unfinished house. It’s clear he wasn’t out for a jog. Don’t see how this changes the facts to justify the murder.
