Was this before or after the property was burglarized?How do you know that they are racist?why is this a racial issue?A black man jogging in an affluent suburban Georgia neighborhood was shot dead by neighbors on February 23, who thought he was a robber, setting off online protests labeling the incident as racial profiling, The New York Times reported.
Ahmaud Arbery was jogging around Brunswick, Georgia, before he was killed in nearby Satilla Shores. Arbery ran by Gregory McMichael who called to his son Travis McMichael before grabbing their .357 magnum revolver and shotgun and followed Arbery in a truck, according to The Times.
"Stop, stop," they shouted at Mr. Arbery, according to The Times, "we want to talk to you."
Gregory McMichael told police he thought Arbery was the suspect in a string of break-ins. Arbery died after being shot twice in after "a struggle over the shotgun," according to The Times.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the elder McMichael, who is a former police officer, was the only source quoted in the police report and that led critics to suspect that "his influence played a role in authorities' decision not to bring charges."
"There's a lot of suspicion of law enforcement down here," Akeem Baker, a friend of Arbery told AJC.
Neither the father nor son have been charged with Arbery's killing.
So now you can't jog while black.
How is it that you can just grab your gun and chase someone down the block, kill them and then return home for dinner.
Oh that's right there is no more racism in the South anymore.
Because 2 racist murdered a black man.
Why didn't they chase down and murder any of the whites who were illegally on the same property?
Were these people who the property owners know?
Were they next door neighbors?
Was the video of the property owners themselves or other family members?
Did the people match the description of the burglary suspect?
Why didn't the suspect call the police himself if he was just looking around?
I would have called the police myself if two men confronted me while I was just jogging.
Hopefully they will get a fair trial and if they are found guilty they will be properly punished.
But, the point is that the Press exploits these issues to fan the flames of hate during an election year to help get out the vote.
You are being exploited
