I wanted to post about this, but thought it might be too controversial.

I think the people who killed him should be brought up on charges.

The most interesting thing with this situation is the reaction to it. Certain people on the right are calling the whole thing nothing more than race baiting by the MSM, all the while doing their best to justify the murder using racist stereotypes.

I also think it is interesting that one of the defendants attorneys released the footage that led to their arrest. They really thought that a video of two armed people forming a road block with their truck to confront an unarmed man, would exonerate them. That is shocking to me.

The Flyod murder has diluted the coverage if this. The poor reporting and sketchy details. All I really know is a bunch of hicks were out patrolling (vigilantes?). There was a report of a theft or not, a report of a black man unningr from the scene or not. Video footage of what appears to be Ahmuad in a house under construction. I've been up north for a week, has there been any new developments?
Those guys are going to jail, but will they get the 1st?

There was no theft or robbery reported. Even in the 911 call the killers made, they didn't mention Arbery stealing anything.

As of now 3 people have been arrested and charged I think it is called "felony murder".

Ahmaud Arbery was hit with a truck before he died, and his killer allegedly used a racial slur, investigator testifies - CNN

Some details of the chase have come out. This is looking even worse than it had previously.

I'm not concerned with the racial slurs, tbh, but the way they chased him is scary. I have been reluctant to call this a lynching, but that's what it was. This was a pure modern day lynching. They even took a picture afterwards. I know this has been overshadowed by the George Floyd case, but this really deserves more attention.

Is this data wrong...I don't know? I'm looking for answers too. People shot to death by U.S. police, by race 2020 | Statista

What I know here is mining companies are destroying ancient sacred sites. 50,000 years for short term profit.

It lay in the soil..history, for thousands and thousands of years...........then dug up for short term profit.

It's like these morons who go to the pawn shop to trade family heirlooms, memories and sentiment for $'s.. their Great grandparents, Grandparents, Parents have held onto them through Depression, Wars, and recession for them to go and blow it on a fancy meal or gambling.

Garbage of the past?

Thanks for clearing that one up for me. Garbage of the past to me is plastic toys of Star Wars..and Batman relics..Hornsby and Scaletrix ..........not civil war relics of great, great grandfathers and grandmothers. Not uniforms worn taking beaches, or medals gained for sacrifice of their lives for those of the children, their great grand children to live and remember, kept safe through generations of hardship and determination to remember why and what??

To be traded for a meal on the town and a quick gamble at the casino.............

Yeah, ok. You are garbage free, totally clean and memory swiped. Good for you.

Your foolish assumption that people pawn their 'relics' for foolish things is really dense. That is the point. Regardless, it is not for you to say what family belongings should mean to people. A classmate of mine had inoperable cancer and sold her family silverware and china - made a bundle. She took a last vacation with it and died at home a week after her return. Personally I think she did the right thing, but she did not need my approval. I remember what my family did in the depression and WW2, I don't need their uniforms. They would be the first to agree.

"Sold their Chinaware-made a bundle" Thanks for making it even more clear.

For one moment you did not even consider an ancestor giving their life for those to remember and follow. You reduce it to "Chinaware" ....good for you.

It is not for you to say human sacrifice, those who die for others is more important than those who have a chance at survival. They have a chance for survival because others volunteered to die for their chance.....

Trade it in..........next generation it repeats because they do not hold onto the sacrifice of those before them.

This thread is about a young man who was gunned down in cold blood while jogging on the streets of Georgia.
