1970s: in the future we'll be living on the moon!
2020s: 'don't grab a shotgun by the business end' is a controversial take

Gotta have priorities.

So a black man walked into a house in construction and was jogging around town, which peaked the interest of some guys that knew some break-ins had occurred in the area. No crime had been committed and there was no indication the deceased was armed.

Fully armed, they follow him, appear to block him off and a person exits the vehicle with a shotgun, approaching the deceased.

Imagine going for a jog and realising you're being followed by some unknown, armed people. You're confused, shocked and in a hick state with an armed white guy approaching you staring down the barrel of a shotgun.

There are cases like Michael Brown and then there are cases like this. There was no evidence of a crime being committed that justified being followed by armed assailants and/or to make a citizen's arrest. The people defending this are scum and nothing more.

Here's a translation from my news:

Racist murder in Georgia: two men arrested after the publication of a video
In the southern United States, a 25-year-old African-American boy was shot dead in late February while jogging by two white men. The scene was filmed. Justice ended up seizing the case, more than two months after the facts.

The investigation is first closed without follow-up

In this state marked by slavery and then racial segregation, the justice system first decided to close the case, despite protests from organizations defending civil rights. The release of the 36-second video on Thursday May 7 was a game-changer: Democratic candidate for the White House Joe Biden immediately called for a "full and transparent" investigation. And the state’s prosecutor finally decided to refer the case to a jury.

But the jury will not be able to meet until mid-June because of the coronavirus epidemic. Ahmaud Arbery would have been 26 years old this Friday.

Allowing white dudes to point shotguns at black dudes in the South is definitely a priority it seems.

These guys will walk.

Second Amendment now allows the brandishing of weapons. Bill of Rights being perks for white dudes.

Where were you guys on Philando Castile?

Priorities between living on the moon and knowing NOT to grab a shotgun by the business end.

1960s: Hey, we passed the Civil Rights Act!
2020s: White people lying in wait for a black man, then trying to use citizen's arrest laws to justify his murder is still a thing

Ghot was in the cop's court.

they all would have cried for hours if one of those protesters got shot carrying a weapon..
difference.. Black man

Ghot thought it was understandable, that after Castile told the cop he had a gun, then reached for his license... supposedly.
Ghot again said...wait for the trial.
Yanez (the cop), was let off.
