Jogger shot in Georgia
Hawkmoon:
It appears the alleged victim in this case wasn't the squeaky clean, all-American boy the media would like us to view him as.

Yeah, some of that was brought up in earlier posts. Trouble is it makes him even more of a hero of the left because, you know, he wouldn't have had to be a criminal if it wasn't for white racism and capitalism and all that.

--- Quote ---On February 23, Ahmaud Arbery was killed while he was running through the Satilla Shores neighborhood near Brunswick, in Georgia. Two men were sitting on their lawn when Arbery passed, and they pursued him in their truck. The men proceeded to get out of their truck and shoot Arbery, which resulted in his death.

It has been quite a while since I saw that video, but it was a little bit more complicated that that. Instead of running away or standing still, Aubery advanced on the guy and grabbed for the shotgun. Who was justified to do what was the question I was unclear of. A case could be made for either one and both were likely in the process of doing things they weren't supposed to (though I haven't seen evidence that Aubery was doing something wrong that day). It doesn't look good for the two men involved in the shooting.
Sounds like the authorities are indicting everyone involved.

Definitely more to it than that. I watched the video. Arbery took a bit of a detour from his run, and spent several minutes inside a house that was under construction across the street from somebody's security camera. There had been burglaries in the neighborhood, so the three men suspected that Arbery might be the burglar. They pursued him, cut him off, and (apparently) attempted to detain him until they could get the police there. However, Arbery lunged at the guy holding the shotgun, and got himself killed for his efforts.
At the time, citizens arrests were legal in Georgia. The law has since been repealed, as a result of this case.

Yes. Now if someone rapes your daughter and tries to escape, you had better not try and capture him for the police... or you can go to prison for ten years. Because capturing criminals is racist. :mad:
