For any of you people interested in facts, the District Attorney has a nice summary for you.

This was not jogger-hunting.

Thank You

Facts are essential in making decisions.

Conclusion jumpers (many on this site) continuedly prove they have absolutely no interest in fact, if those facts go against their agenda.

The case remained open, there was no unfounded rush to "justice" for the deceased, or folding for fear of political or to racial pressure.

This correspondence offers great hurdles for the new prosecutor to clear without further new evidence.

The major obstacle I see for the defense in what is offered in the correspondence is how to navigate this

As stated

"It appears their intent was to stop and hold this criminal suspect until law enforcement arrived."

Under Georgia Law this is perfectly legal,
OCGA 17 -4 -60

"A private person may arrest an offender
if the offense is committed in his presence or within his immediate knowledge . If the offense is a felony and the offender is escaping or attempting to escape, a private person may arrest him upon reasonable and probable grounds of suspicion .”

With the "facts"(I use this lightly) presented by media this could prove problematic to the Defendants.

Nice job for providing this.:thumbup1:

Clearly a case of a lynching gone wrong. The victim fought back.

This man was just jogging at the officer.

Let’s all go jog 20 feet for his remembrance tomorrow.

Two things:

1) This "jogger" was confronted by a uniformed police officer. He didn't get jumped by rednecks with guns.

2) The "jogger" was clearly holding a large knife.



"Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia Bureau of Investigation leader Vic Reynolds comment on the arrests of Gregory McMichael and Travis McMichael, both charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in the February killing of Ahmaud Arbery."

The belief and assumption that two white men with guns confronting any black person have a "right" to detain or stop or defend themselves against the unarmed black person is some very bone deep racist logic.

So their having been charged with felony murder and aggravated assault was indeed the right call. Because that wasn’t a lawful citizen’s arrest.

This is all pretend stuff. Again, the idea that you two armed white men can just go up to random black people and detain or stop them or then defend themselves from danger against an unarmed black person they accosted is some bone deep racist logic. It doesn't make any sense if you see those people as equal to one another.
