Yes absolutely... Left wingers always race bait. Who do you think created the race card? Why do you think racial tensions were higher under obama than they were during the civil rights movement? Jussie Smollett? Attacked by MAGA hat wearing white guys. Tarmeka Moffit? White guys wrote on her car, racial slurs, then poured lighter fluid on her and set her ablaze. NAACP? NBPP? Sanders? Biden? Pelosi? AOC? Waters? Sharpton? CNN? ABC? NBC? CBS? All are race baiters.
Name one race baiter on the right.
this will probably be the angle they use for self defense that he did not intend to fire (but his finger was in trigger guard) oddly enough the cheif of police got indicted 4 days before the shooting for alegedly covering up one of his officers being buddy buddy with a local drug dealer who was banging a CI to get tips
Barnhill wrote that, although McMichael had his finger on the trigger, “we do not know who caused the firings.” “Arbery would only (have) had to pull the shotgun approximately 1/16th to 1/8th of one inch to fire weapon himself and in the height of an altercation this is entirely possible,” the prosecutor wrote. “Arbery’s mental health records and prior convictions help explain his apparent aggressive nature and his possible thought pattern to attack an armed man.”
That police chief, John Powell, was indicted April 27 -- four days after Arbery’s killing -- on charges that he and three former high-ranking police officials ignored evidence that a Glynn County officer was connected to a drug dealer. According to the Brunswick News, the case involves a narcotics officer who had a sexual relationship with a confidential informant. The indictments came amid allegations of a cover-up of information in a police chase involving the Glynn-Brunswick Narcotics Enforcement Team that ended with a fatality.
so thats the citizens arrest statute and they ASSUMED it was the suspect so on that aspect they may be ok but its kind of hard to tell from the video as the scuffle happens infront of the truck least when the first shot is fired, then you see them exchanging blows while the white guy tries to hold on to his scatter gun then i think the guy in bed of pick up pops him with a 357 then victim/suspect falls over after a short few steps .
O.C.G.A. 17-4-60 (2010) 17-4-60. Grounds for arrest A private person may arrest an offender if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge. If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion.
it would see the felony aspect of that would hinge on intent of the suspect/victim which in this case we cant know as he is dead as from the other article i posted the 911 call stated the suspect (possibly not even this guy) was just in the building not necessarily taking any thing .building was being constructed and un occupied and to the best of what i have read nothing stolen or otherwise was found on the man shot so the future case will hinge on a lot of factors some of which we can not know
Degrees of Burglary You commit First Degree Burglary if you enter or remain within an occupied, unoccupied, or vacant dwelling house of another or any building, railroad car, watercraft, aircraft, or other such structure for use as the dwelling of another without authority and with the intent to commit a felony or theft therein. O.C.G.A. §16-7-1. A person found guilty of burglary in the first degree will be convicted of a felony and will be punished by a prison sentence of one to twenty years. If you are convicted of burglary in the first-degree burglary a second time, you will be found guilty of a felony and will be punished by a prison sentence for two to twenty years. For a third or subsequent conviction of burglary, you will be guilty of a felony and will face a prison term for no less than five and no more than twenty-five years. You commit Second Degree Burglary when you enter or remain in an occupied, unoccupied, or vacant building, structure, vehicle, railroad car, watercraft, or aircraft without authority and with the intent to commit a felony or theft therein. The punishment if found guilty of second-degree burglary is a prison sentence for a period from one to eight years. Essentially the difference between First and Second Degree Burglary is whether or not the structure was intended to be a dwelling or not. If the structure is, in fact, a home, then you have committed first degree. If not a dwelling, then second degree. Our Georgia Burglary Attorneys can help you understand the differences and what charges you could be facing.
In a separate document, Mr. Barnhill stated that video exists of Mr. Arbery “burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation.” In the letter to the police, he cites a separate video of the shooting filmed by a third pursuer.
Mr. Barnhill said this video, which has not been made public, shows Mr. Arbery attacking Travis McMichael after he and his father pulled up to him in their truck.
The video shows Mr. Arbery trying to grab the shotgun from Travis McMichael’s hands, Mr. Barnhill wrote. And that, he argued, amounts to self-defense under Georgia law. Travis McMichael, Mr. Barnhill concluded, “was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself.”
He noted that it was possible that Mr. Arbery had caused the gun to go off by pulling on it, and pointed to Mr. Arbery’s “mental health records” and prior convictions, which, he said, “help explain his apparent aggressive nature and his possible thought pattern to attack an armed man.”
After Mr. Barnhill recused himself, the case was assigned to Tom Durden, in the city of Hinesville, Ga., who must now decide whether to present the case to a grand jury for possible indictments. In an interview last week, Mr. Durden said his team had begun reviewing the evidence. “We don’t know anything about the case,” he said. “We don’t have any preconceived idea about it.”
The police report is based almost solely upon the responding officer’s interview with Gregory McMichael, who had worked at the police department from 1982 to 1989. The responding officer describes him as a witness. According to the report, Mr. McMichael told the officer that he and his son pulled up near Mr. Arbery, that his son got out of the truck with the shotgun, and that his son and Mr. Arbery then fought over the weapon, “at which point Travis fired a shot and then a second later there was a second shot.”

Part of my perspective was the shotgunner's history in Law Enforcement. If a cop is 'arresting' a perp, and that arrest is being made with a drawn weapon, and the perp goes for the cop's gun ... it's gonna go bad pretty quick. And, it did.
ETA: Not tryin' to dox these people either, but the 'jogging BS' ... Ahmoud was 7 miles away from his residence. You guys buying into the non-sense that he was just out for a jog: When's the last time you went out for a little 14 mile jaunt?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bold emphasis mine: on the pursuer who filmed he also was attempting to detain the jogger Per a heavy article,we have no idea on the identity of the Filmer of the altercation which is the bulk of the evidence we have other then the 911 call

so that is where the video came from and had been given to police before going online but it appears he had two vehicles after him , i was incorrect about the guy in the truck bed firing his 357 as it appears per multiple sources all shots came from the shotgun not the revolver
The video of the shooting was leaked online and posted to YouTube on May 5. According to the New York Times, the video was recorded by a third man who had joined the McMichaels in “hot pursuit” of Arbery. The video had previously been turned over to investigators before it was made public.

I am unsure who the one with the shotgun was? Was it the former cop or his son?

Shotgun dude was the retired cop. I don't know if the son fired his pistola or not, so it's hard to say who killed him.
The gun at the basketball game: Was it concealed? Was it his? Was it a felony bust? All hushed up. Just like Trayvon's checkered past. If it was the two white fellas, you can bet your bottom dollar we'd know the full details of their criminal backgrounds.
Ol' DinDuNuffin had been 'working' that neighborhood for a while. After poking around at this off-and-on all day ... I'd have to say it wasn't likely he'd stop because someone asked him nicely. He picked that neighborhood to work because there's no need for a cop to be hanging out around there ... and he'd have plenty of time to run to his car and get away if anyone saw him "doin' his bidness".
I understand he stole a firearm from that neighborhood too. Not sure what liability issues that sets up in Georgia if a subsequent crime is carried out with that firearm. You'd probably have to be a lawyer to 'really' know. Folks in the neighborhood knew exactly who they were looking for. That's why the driver of the 'pursuit vehicle' was holding his cellphone in his hand and filming. Idiot move, but people in blood pumping situations ... They caught him, and DinDuNuffin didn't have a good story for why he was there. Couple that with the 911 trespass call and previous security camera footage. He knew he was gonna go to jail that very same day. He just didn't wanna.

I am guessing that their will be a connection that gets very little, or any, media coverage since the race card cannot be played
Like what? Because if unless he was in their home, attempting to break into their vehicle while they were in it, violently assaulting them or others they have no legal basis for shooting this person.

Why does the race of the jogger and killer matter?
Good question.
That article was clearly race baiting.
it matters because they're only 'considering' to press charges. if not for video...even with video no charges.
race matters a whole lot. saying it doesn't matter is worse than race baiting. a
