quote:Georgia law on justification for murder is fascinating. It includes an entire section which justifies the murder of any person committing a fashion faux pas.
How often do you go jogging in a neighborhood you don’t live in, which is across an interstate from where you live, while wearing cargo shorts, high top shoes, and with a hammer?
Subsection 23 specifically allows the murder of a person who goes jogging in basketball shoes.
Subsection 36 seems to allow the killing of any woman caught wearing white shoes during Winter.

Question for smoke ‘em if you got ‘em: when do you plan on offering anything relevant to the shooting and whether or not it’s justified? High tops and hammers ain’t gonna get you there on their own.

The fact there are dumb fat fricks driving around with shotguns who are clearly racially prejudiced is an embarrassment to their society.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

There is a lot that does not add up here and we're making all these assumptions from a small video clip.
All that being said, you can not just run down or try to ambush someone that you suspect was a burglar and then proceed to gun them down.
You become the aggressor the second you chase down someone outside of your home

The way these two fools handled it was completely wrong. They should have never allowed the guy to get within lunging distance. To me that’s where things went south. At that point, where two guys are struggling for a gun of course the water is muddied and the whole self defense argument comes into play. But the events that led up to this are what is going to get them locked up and deservedly so. They had no business doing this to a racially profiled guy.
Now Brunswick is a small town. Maybe the guy did do something wrong and perhaps committed some past crime but this type of armed citizens arrest mexican stand off thing was dumb to start with unless they thought he could be packing. Which could be the case.
See the more I go the more scenarios I come up with which is why it isn’t as cut and dry. But still. I do not like how this was set up and now a guy that was just potentially out for a run is now dead unnecessarily.

The main point of this thread is that the jogging narrative is fricking bullshite and anyone who can’t admit that is being intentionally deceitful.
What you are trying to say is a moot point. Everyone knows the guy haf a shady past and was likely up to no good. However, this doesn't justify his being shot. The two white dudes are clearly in the wrong.

Where did the hammer info come from?
Yesterday, it was a gun for a while. That’s how indeterminate the object is.

Why didn't the second DA mention a hammer, or any type of weapon carried by the victim, in his memo to the police department which explained why he wasn't pursuing charges against the McMichaels?
Why didn't any mention of any weapon on the victim make the police report?

That pretty much sums this situation up
Their actions can not be defended
A lot of people want to ignore the truth because they have come to this conclusion.
If the guy was breaking into vehicles or homes, it's important to know that. It might not justify the actions of the two charged with murder, but it might explain those actions.

Question for the Murderers of PT
Question for you cucks of PT:
How many hours do you scan the news for that very rare instance of white on black crime that is highly sensationalized for the purpose of further dividing the nation whilst ignoring the epidemic of black on everyone else violence occurring by the hour?
Also, do you enjoy playing the new X-Box your wifes' bull bought you in exchange for railing your wife?

That's what bothers me about liberals and the media. I doubt he was just casually jogging and probably was stealing in the neighborhood. Does not change my feelings at all that these idiot vigilantes are out with guns and ultimately kill a guy who might have taken a TV. However, the original narrative of the "jogging in the neighborhood" just takes away from the tragedy and makes you doubt the entire story. It gets to the point you can't trust anything that is reported.

Hasn't there been several neighbors come forward to say theyve seen this kid jogging several times and he always smiled or waved at them?
Impressive considering he was carrying four outdoor ceiling fans from a new construction home

they can swab the hammer for touch dna to see if it was ever in the joggers possession. Does anyone know if the abandoned house has any appliances or copper in it ? Price of copper is way up. We will find out the verdict sometime in 2023.

Is this true about a hammer or a tool?
Eric Erickson, a blowhard with an Atlanta talk show, discusses the case yesterday on his evening show.
He started by saying that he couldn’t bring himself to watch the video but he has “heard” enough about it to know what happened. He described the victim as a young man who has been jogging daily for years.
He completely painted a picture that the victim was just a health conscious law abiding citizen out doing what he has done daily for years. He said that he was lynched.
He then lamented past occasions where people drew conclusions early on before getting all of the facts.
First, the shooters were in the wrong. They never should have tried to apprehend the guy themselves.
But i just thought it was very hypocritical of Erickson to state certain things as fact to over sell his reaction. I mean, the guy started by saying that he hasn’t seen the video and then embellished the story to claim as fact that the victim was a guy who is known to be a guy who jogs as exercise everyday and has been doing so for years. Where did he draw that “fact” from?

Speculation. None of the official documents mention the victim had any type of weapon.

They could have if they investigated it when it happened. Would be pretty difficult to do now, two and a half months later.
