Citizen’s Arrest gone wrong Georgia

Two county commissioners told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week that Johnson's office blocked police from arresting the McMichaels after the shooting. "The police at the scene went to (Johnson), saying they were ready to arrest both of them. These were the police at the scene who had done the investigation," Commissioner Allen Booker, who has spoken with Glynn County police, told the newspaper. "She shut them down to protect her friend McMichael."


When asked why it took months to arrest the McMichaels, the attorney general said Saturday: "There's a lot of questions that are being asked, and I'm asking the same thing."

"What I do know is that once the state was asked to participate it took 48 hours," he said of the arrests.

Another Glynn County commissioner, Peter Murphy, told The Washington Post that he too was told by police officials that they were instructed by Johnson's office not to make arrests. Murphy said he also plans to investigate the prosecutors and police agencies involved in Arbery's case.

100% None of the victim's past history would matter if the murderers were two black guys stopping their vehicle on a residential street and trying to hold white joggers at gunpoint. The outrage among Republicans would be enormous.
But white joggers in a white neighborhood would be normal. I wish we had a more clarifying video. People keep saying "hunted." But he ran up to their vehicle as opposed to them running him down. From the video it looks like there was an almost immediate physical confrontation. There was no shooter off to the side casually mowing down someone. Shots were fired while grappling for control of the gun. It reminds me of the George Zimmerman case where basically an idiot refused to wait for the police but decided to confront someone he viewed as suspicious. If they had followed this guy while calling the police they wouldn't be in jail now, assuming there wouldn't have been a confrontation. And it does bother me that when a white kills a black it's immediately national news and it's spun as happening all the time. Taken advantage of in a political year to scare blacks into supporting Democrats because this is the kind of thing Republicans support and do(according to Democrats). And yet most major cities with large black populations are controlled by Democrats and I don't see anyone ripping those administrations for the high murder rate amongst blacks including plenty of innocent bystanders. But let a white Republican mayor use techniques like stop-and-frisk to significantly lower violence and save thousands of lives and he's accused of racism. We have the world we do because people take advantage of others' fear to gain power and get access to taxpayer money.

I have family in the area.

Was he a choir boy, delivering meals? Nope. Did he do bad things as a teenager ? Seems so. Did he deserve to be hunted by a guy with a grudge and murdered in the street?

This is a different part of Georgia, right @Old Man Jingles @floridays ?
Brunswick is an integrated community ... the islands and coastal ways where this occurred is half-million properties.
I am not that familiar with that area other than a half-dozen photography workshops I did in the area.

One thing I do know is that there are too many biting flies and all sort of biting bugs.
I don't like going there except in the winter.
