25 year old black male goes out for a jog like he does every day. Takes a different route. Two crackers sitting on couch see him jog by, load up with guns in pickup truck Mad Max style (a 3rd cracker trailing in another truck and filming).

https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1257737290786443266?s=20

Their "defense" is that since they were trying to citizen's arrest the guy (because they saw him look into a house under construction), and he "resisted" being accosted by two men with guns jumping him in the middle of the street, and since he fought (in vain) for his life, it was OK for them to defend THEMSELVES with deadly force....because they, two assholes sitting on their couch, thought he was a criminal. They were not charged because they have friends in the DA's office.

Since it's getting national attention, they will likely end up being charged. 10, 20, 30 years ago? Nah. Business as usual.

Now, tell me again how THIS is offensive.

In the Martin case, Zimmerman did not approach with guys drawn. Trayvon was the aggressor on a physical level, beat up Zimmerman, and Zimmerman shot in defense.

In this case, the idiots with the guns are clearly the aggressors. They block his path, guns drawn, and immediately escalate the situation.

Please. Martin was minding his own business and Zimmerman chased him down. And all you had to go on was Zimmerman's version of the story. No video. No proof his gun wasn't drawn.

How are YOU going to react if you're walking down the street and a man accosts you while armed?

May 6, 2020, 1:28 PM

he does.

You said:

"Martin was minding his own business and Zimmerman chased him down." And you know this how?

I know what the jury found and what evidence/testimony was presented in the case, but no one, other than Zimmerman, knows for sure what happened that night.

It's been a while...but I remember going into that trial thinking Zimmerman had to be guilty and I came out of that trial leaning more towards him shooting in self defense, but it being a pretty ugly case, where I thought Zimmerman was probably initially acting inappropriately, but that he didn't cold murder Martin.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Hole up now...you don't have any more evidence than...


May 6, 2020, 1:31 PM

The account of why Martin was out there and Zimmerman's call to police shows yes, he was minding his own business. And they told Zimmerman not to go after him.

He did anyway. And the kid died. If Zimmerman doesn't get out of the car to chase him, he lives.

Same as this case. These two necks chased after him. They don't do that, this man lives.

I'm sorry, but if there wasn't video of this shooting, I have a bad feeling this same argument would be happening right now as it is with Martin.

We can argue over Zimmerman's self defense or whatever, but he pursued the kid when told not to, he had a gun, and he shot the guy. I'll argue--without proof, but I don't give a #### because I think we know this is the case--that Martin didn't initiate the confrontation.

May 6, 2020, 1:40 PM

Why don't you take some of Obama's advice:

"All of us carry the baggage of assumptions with us, don't we? That's what makes this conversation so hard. The officer who assumes a black man in a mostly white neighborhood represents a threat; the black man who assumes that in any confrontation with the police, his race is a factor. And, honesty requires me to add, the president who assumes he understands a situation even before having all the facts."

You present your feelings as facts. Your feelings trump all evidence that was presented in a court of law, and what the jury decided based on that evidence.

I'm assuming you're currently up to speed on #TropicThunder #CancelRDJ because he played a role in blackface. That sounds like it would be right up your alley.

I'm sorry you don't agree with what was presented in a court of law, including physical evidence, and then he was found not guilty of the charges. Apparently saying what was presented in a court of law as evidence makes someone a racist.

IMHO, the two events are very different. This one they should all be charged, and should be convicted of murder.

And I've had gun pulled on me during an argument (technically it was road rage) in a parking lot of Route 17 and I-85 and managed not to get killed. The idiots brother was a state trooper, made it to the scene first and intercepted the other troopers before I could talk. I was told to drive away, and the other guy is a known problem. But i'm sure you'll say not getting shot is "white privilege?"

May 6, 2020, 1:42 PM

-Just because he was found not guilty in court doesn't mean he didn't murder the guy. Plenty of people get off on charges. Mentioning OJ is pretty cliche, but there you go. OJ.

-I didn't call you a racist.

-The only difference is there is video. Let me ask you this. If we DIDN'T have the video, and these guys gave the same story as Zimmerman--that the victim attacked them and it was self-defense (which, surprise, is there argument), are you honestly telling me you would say the same thing that you did about the Martin case? If not, why?

-So your personal example isn't one where you were walking/jogging down the street and a guy accosted you out of the blue with a gun? And police were there to intervene? Sounds exactly the same.

No, I wouldn't think the same as Martin....


May 6, 2020, 1:53 PM [ in reply to Let's not twist words ]

First, I'm an engineer. I don't like to jump to conclusions with anything. It's not how I'm wired.

Second, I'd have to read what local LEO and the DA say about it. Watching the video, it would be hard to have a justified self-defense with the physical evidence. 3 guys with firearms, not a scratch on them, and a deceased victim with multiple(?) GSWs? I'd assume the DA would press charges based on what they found at the scene which would be nothing to justify self-defense. The GA castle doctrine does extend outside the house/property, and there is no duty to retreat, but IMHO this doesn't come close to meeting self-defense.

With Zimmerman, he had physical wounds, and the physical evidence lined up with his statements of events. I'd say nothing like that is present on this video.

Cool, but irrelevant, and you've already jumped to some conclusions in this thread.

Doesn't sound like the authorities were going to take proper action until the video surfaced and it garnered national attention. Who says they didn't have a scratch on them? The video shows the victim and the shooter engaged in close combat.

With Zimmerman, he had physical wounds, and the physical evidence lined up with his statements of events. I'd say nothing like that is present on this video.

Again, you don't know they don't have physical wounds. They're making the exact same argument Zimmerman made. Without the video, that's all we would have to go on. Their statements.

And you're telling me you wouldn't make the same argument?

The case was briefly in the hands of DA George Barnhill, based in Waycross, but he recused himself because his son works for prosecutors in Brunswick.

But in a memo from Barnhill to police, the DA said he believes Gregory and Travis McMichael should not be indicted. He said the father and son had "probable cause" to believe the victim might be a burglar and were within their rights to arm themselves and chase him down.

The prosecutor said video footage of the shooting, made by a neighbor, shows Arbery to be the aggressor.

"Given the fact Arbery initiated the fight, at the point Arbery grabbed the shotgun, under Georgia Law, McMichael was allowed to use deadly force to protect himself," according to the memo.

in the end, it sounds like they're going to a grand jury, which sounds like the outcome we would want to see.

Also interesting comments on what the actual law is...maybe the prosecutor was correct in his interpretation of the law...but I sure hope not. It doesn't sound reasonable for someone to be pursued and stopped by armed people and the jogger (in this case) not to feel that HIS life is being threatened.

If that's really the law, then it seems like it would be open season on just about anyone...just video tape it and hope the unarmed person goes after one of the armed person's gun.

within their rights to shoot and kill him. It doesn't matter what he did or didn't do. As long as they believed he was a burglar (required no actual evidence) and believed that he was armed or dangerous, they could defend themselves by killing him. Despite the fact that they pursued him.

Short of life threatening situations, I would not “initiate” an armed conflict. Simply make detail observations and call law enforcement. They have training, expertise and get paid to deal with the parties engaged in criminal activities.

instead of running toward him and grabbing his gun, it is better to either run away or just stop and put your hands up

I had the same reaction...


May 6, 2020, 10:36 PM [ in reply to It's usually not a good idea to attack a guy with a shotgun ]

First let me say that these guys handled the situation terribly and likely thought, "black guy running? He must be the burgler." Even though they may have been within their rights to pursue him, they had no right to menace and brandish in a public area. They should have left the gun in the truck, called the cops, and attempted to non-violently detain him. They definitely effed up and the shooter should be charged with Man 1 at a minimum.

That being said, if I have a gun (not brandishing) and someone charges at me, I am shooting them. I'm not going to wait to determine their intentions.

I can't say for sure what I would have done in the victim's situation, but I really don't see myself charging at the guy with the shotgun. He didn't deserve to lose his life, but it was a bad move.

They destroyed a lot of lives including their own. If convicted, they will never see each other again and both will die in jail. They might get off though. I see some rioting if so.

25 year old black male goes out for a jog like he does every day. Takes a different route. Two crackers sitting on couch see him jog by, load up with guns in pickup truck Mad Max style (a 3rd cracker trailing in another truck and filming).

Their "defense" is that since they were trying to citizen's arrest the guy (because they saw him look into a house under construction), and he "resisted" being accosted by two men with guns jumping him in the middle of the street, and since he fought (in vain) for his life, it was OK for them to defend THEMSELVES with deadly force....because they, two assholes sitting on their couch, thought he was a criminal. They were not charged because they have friends in the DA's office.

Since it's getting national attention, they will likely end up being charged. 10, 20, 30 years ago? Nah. Business as usual.

Now, tell me again how THIS is offensive.



These two idiots deserve the death penalty for what they did. Make no mistake though. Their actions wasn’t on the behalf of any race, organization or the American flag. It was an act carried out by two idiots on their own who deserve punishment to the maximum of law.

With the evidence as presented so far its a simple case of dumb and dumbershiatts. This is insanely tragic and the men involved should be found guilty of the highest provable crime. Their stupidity should not be used an an excuse to exonerate them.
