White People with Guns making Bad Assumptions. Sounds familiar.
25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery went for a jog.
He did not make it home thanks to Travis McMichael ... who has not been arrested or charged.
Gregory McMichael, a former police officer and district attorney’s investigator, told investigators the incident began when he spotted Arbery from his front yard “hauling ass” down the street.
McMichael told police that, because he suspected Arbery in a string of recent neighborhood break-ins, he summoned his son and the two men gave chase in the truck, Gregory McMichael carrying a .357 Magnum revolver and Travis armed with a shotgun.
The prosecutor in Brunswick argued there was not probable cause to arrest the McMichaels because they were legally carrying firearms, had a right to pursue a burglary suspect and use deadly force to protect themselves.

call it the Trayvon Martin syndrome, see someone who is a minority you think is suspicious, chase and confront them and when they try to defend themselves, shoot.Okay, so I live in California where gun laws are uh, different from a lot of the country. I understand being able to legally have a gun and give chase to someone who you believe to be a burglary suspect. How exactly is the deadly force justifiable if they're RUNNING away? I'll completely leave out the fact the "suspect" was black and white people shot him. Maybe that had zero to do with it, maybe if it had been 2 black people chasing and killing a white person who they suspected was a burglar nothing would have happened to them either.
Oh, I was posing a question, how is that self defense? I worked at a liquor store and was robbed at gun point, as the robber ran out I was able to grab the gun, in case he decided to come back. When the police came and we were talking, had I decided to chase him after he left the store and I shot him in the back. It could have gotten me in trouble for me because he was no longer a threat as he was fleeing. Sounds like if I lived in Brunswick not chasing the black dude who robbed the store and shooting him in the back could have gotten me in trouble. If you can no harm no foul shoot a totally innocent man, I suspect one who's guilty by law you gotta kill them right?
So like these 2 crackers shoot an unarmed man and because he was black, they not only won't get in a lick of trouble, but they didn't even get arrested? I wonder if the cops ended the talk by apologized to them for even having to question them about it. Jesus christ I'm glad I don't live somewhere like Brunswick.

no, they'd be in the morgueThe only people who get the benefit of the doubt in this country, white people carrying guns.
Anyone think think if 2 black guys chase down a white guy and kill him, they wouldn't be in jail?
I'm one of those suspicious people yet it's my fault for bringing it up. Shut up spook and stop yer bitchin'. Yer lucky just to live in Mericacall it the Trayvon Martin syndrome, see someone who is a minority you think is suspicious, chase and confront them and when they try to defend themselves, shoot.
What if the guy being chased was able to reverse the situation and kill his chasers is that self-defense?"The prosecutor in Brunswick argued there was not probable cause to arrest the McMichaels because they were legally carrying firearms, had a right to pursue a burglary suspect and use deadly force to protect themselves.

I know all these words but this sentence does not make any sense.

That dude has his hand on his strap and is still standing upright. If he had a year-round tan, they would have smoked him for pulling up his pants.
so he stopped to check the progress of a house under construction? seems that's all it takes to be called a burglar and sentenced to death."According to neighbors, there had been break-ins in the area. Arbery was allegedly spotted at a home that was under construction before he began to run. 911 calls came in moments later.
A dispatcher on one 911 call can be heard asking, "and you said someone is breaking into it right now?"
"No, it's all open, it's under construction. And he's running right now. There he goes right now," the caller says.
The dispatcher then asks what the man is doing and the caller says, "running down the street."

Gregory McMichael told police he saw Ahmaud Arbery run by and said he recognized him from recent break-ins.www.cbsnews.com
"'A black man can be seen in the video running at a slow pace toward a white truck that is stopped in the middle of a country road. Two men are seen outside the vehicle, including one standing on the truck's bed. The black man seems to attempt to run around the truck, and the moment he clears the vehicle, a shot rings out.
A brief struggle ensues in what looks like an effort to control a shotgun, and another two shots are heard, according to the video. The runner staggers away and collapses.""
