Looks like 2 guys thought they were doing the right thing in trying to help the police catch who they thought just committed a robbery. They fucked up in their decision making in confronting the person they assumed to be the robber. Video shows there was a struggle over the shotgun which went off accidentally to kill Arbery. Sad tragedy and the 2 men are definitely NOT guilt free here at all. Manslaughter or negligent homicide is definitely a real good argument to be made here. I believe these two guys should be in jail for at least negligent homicide.
This is FAR different than George Zimmerman. The media is spewing so much bullshit on this story lately that it brings out all the crazies foaming at the mouth. These two guys will serve time and justice will be served. This isn't an incident of a mob of white people stalking and hunting down a random black man to kill. That seems to be what half the media lately is trying to spew and people are eating it up.
With the George Zimmerman case, there was almost no facts initially released to the public over the investigation and the speculation on this board was horrible. Once facts came out, it was pretty obvious George Zimmerman, based on the facts of the case, was innocent and a trial born that out. We have far more facts at this point earlier in the process and the facts do not make these guys innocent at all in my eyes so far. Maybe there was something else Arbery did or said leading up to the struggle for the shotgun which changes the situation as we know it. If it does it could change the determination on if these guys are innocent or not. Right now, I'm leaning towards not, but still I know not all the facts are released yet so not jumping to a hard conclusion.
But wow, the racist bigotry I see these days against white people is insane. Despite all the claims and all the people that "want" it to be true, white people just don't commit violent hate crimes as often nor on the same scale as other races in the US. The FBI, CDC, DoJ, and all other agencies that record this data every year bear out these numbers. That isn't to say it doesn't happen, but it is so rare that there are more powerball winners more often than white on another race violent hate crime being committed in the US. Now as for other races on white violent hate crimes, that is a different story. There are far more of those. The media never reports those though.
Speaking logically and with facts on these boards is like farting in the wind with all the crazy justice warriors around here these days. They don't want to know what I just typed and will attack me directly for it. Funny thing is, most won't realize that I am on the side of the black guy so far in this case being wronged and the white guys as far as I know now should be in prison for a crime. But that won't stop some people around here.
