re: Just watched that video of the man being shot in GA

I would have jogged in the opposite Direction of the parked truck with the gun toter in the bed.

That’s just me though.

I once got banned from a message-board for coining the term "ghetto-bravado".

Many young black males have been brainwashed from an early age to have a lifelong chip on their shoulder.

The peer pressure from other young black males coupled with a desire for "street-cred" often lead these young men to do STUPID things.

Perhaps that is the case, perhaps it is NOT, but "ghetto-bravado" is a real thing.

Again, if these two guys are GUILTY OF MURDER then fry em', but THIS is about simply more whitey-bashing being pushed by the Left and the Media.

do you know how camera angles work?

what do you think would be accomplished by running towards the truck with the camera?

But wasn't there the second vehicle behind runner? They sorta had guy pinned in. It's not surprising to me that he acted aggressively in any way at all being pursued by civilians like that. And who really knows what the guy saw in the way of guns. I'm sure the truck bed rider wasn't just wrecklessly waiving a gun around, and then the other guy in front of the truck....running man really didn't have a clear look at him until they were basically face to face once he rounded the front corner of the truck.

Anything else is a valid answer here. The craziest scenario that you can come up with in your head is better than what he did.

He should’ve run away, and he had 20 different opportunities to do so. A fat redneck standing 3 feet to his left isn’t stopping him from going anywhere, he had to literally turn 90 degrees and take 3 steps to engage the guy.

He could’ve pissed his pants and faked a seizure and still been alive. He could’ve pretended to be deaf. Could’ve used his mouth and tried to deescalate. Could’ve gone along with whatever they wanted from him. Literally, anything, other, than, what, he, did, and he’d probably still be alive. Literally the dumbest, most ridiculous scenario is better than trying to fight two guys with firearms.

Here’s my question to you now, and I want a “specific answer”, genius. If the two white guys were hellbent on murdering him in cold blood, then why did they do him the justice of getting out of the car and attempting to talk to him first? Why didn’t they just commit a drive-by and keep going? Since they were going to shoot him anyway and he “had no other options” and all.

You better brush up on reading comprehension before calling others stupid.

He said the property crime gives the men reason and authority to confront the suspected offender. He then said that the action of the unarmed man lunging at and towards the man with a gun can be argued that the armed man feared for his life.

Different circumstances and justifications.

What kind of bravado makes you call a couple friends, gets your guns and chase someone through a city neighborhood? Is it trailer bravado?

Maybe, but more likely they really did think he was up to no good.

Maybe they are prejudiced and that's why they thought that.

So far tho', the whitey-bashing Left and Media just want to push it as a couple of rednecks out to "lynch" someone.

You are taking offense to something that is very real, too often young black men are brainwashed into running toward a confrontation, no matter how stupid the reason or the odds and I gave it a name (someone may have coined it before me, who knows).

Your premise of "trailer bravado" doesn't work here as no one REALLY believes these fellows just wanted to kill a black man.....that's just the narrative being pushed ad nauseam in this country.

I’m not taking offense to it. I’m merely pointing out there’s plenty of machismo on the other side that escalated the conflict as well.

It’s the same thing. Ahmaud’s “ghetto bravado” wasn’t urging him to get shot. You’re arguing that it played a role. Surely you’re not arguing his intention was to get murdered. Their intention doesn’t have to be murderous for their “trailer bravado” to be a factor in this. It seems obvious it was a factor as well.

Dont burgle houses dont get shot
