Not sure if we’ve done this yet, couldn’t find a dupe. Black man was jogging, two white men try to stop and “question” him because he apparently looks like a burglary suspect, struggle ensues and black man is killed. Don’t know the whole story, but certainly looks like a bad shoot. Bonus because one perp is a former cop, and the DA recused himself because of former work relationship

Maybe, but running down someone to “question” them seems like bad practice

Not sure what Georgia law allows, but chasing someone that runs by your house, yelling at them, and cutting them off several times before jumping out with a shotgun, doesn't seem wise.
Even if Georgia law somehow covers them, they are going to be bankrupt at best with a decent chance of going to prison. |

Brunswick is a 3rd world craphole. This is the same area where a guy shot a baby in a stroller a few years ago because the baby's mom rebuffed him.

Lots of stuff missing from homes in the area. Also, didn't live in the area, but thought is would be great to go jogging there.... |

No one wants to touch it. h) it goes on. I'm guessing that you meant to write "Trayvon" not "TARVON" as in that overgrown, violent thug, Trayvon Martin, who violently attacked George Zimmerman in Florida? In any event, the "family" admits that their "thug" relative has a criminal history, including "thefts" which just happens to be a problem in that neighborhood as well as "mental issues" and yet they go on to claim .... "was a good kid".....???? Yeah, right. And the family went on to say ..... "....said he should have been left alone to do what he needed to do." If he was mentally defective, what if he needed to kill someone? Ideally the two men should have called police, followed him at a safe distance, and pointed him out to police when they arrived. The circumstances don't look like this mentally defective criminal individual was merely out for an innocent stroll through someone else's neighborhood. Hopefully this gets sorted out correctly by the police investigators after they get all of the "facts." Oh, and I have been to New Brunswick and it is a "$h!tho!e" as the president would so aptly describe it. |

In the linked article, all it mentions is that a 911 call was made prior to the chase that said a black man was seen in a home that was being built. Not that the dead guy was IDed as having been the same black guy. |

Unless it was my home and I saw him there, I'm not going give chase. Even then, I probably wouldn't.

Jogger sounds more like a perp, pulling a gun out of someone's hands does not help solidify "hey, I'm innocent."
Two locals sound a little too trigger happy and taken upon themselves to ZimZam the neighborhood. |

Interesting aside, seems the officer retired shortly after a debacle with the DA’s office bonding out a former officer, twice, and then killing his wife and another, with the perp also ending up dead

View Quote It says an unrelated neighbor called the police because an unidentified man was in a home under construction. It seems like two incidents. Meaning it doesn't match up to your account that he was chased due to that. Do you have a source for your claim? Your information may be correct, but from what I have read in a casual search it doesn't match up. |

So headline should read....citizens caught burglar.... as in, fleeing felon....who attempted to use deadly force to escape

Either way, not enough info. |

Here's my philosophy -
If there is time for me to call the cops (i.e. no one is in immediate danger), that's what I'm going to. If he gets away, so be it. The police are trained, authorized and paid to handle shit like this. I am not. Nor do I want the liability associated with it. If someone is an immediate threat, that's different. But I won't be pursuing or questioning suspects. |

All they saw him do that day was run by their house. Also, the unnamed 3rd party apparently filmed the shooting, so there is much more evidence to be released. |

Quoted: What did you see that certainly makes it a "bad shoot"? "one perp is a former cop", what crime did they perpetrate? View Quote They instigated an altercation without, they themselves, being attacked/harmed/robbed/burgled/otherwise having ill will done against them, or witnessing any crime against anyone else (not from anything I’ve read), and had no arrest or power to detain, which ended up in a death. At least from what I’ve read Edit: A skilled prosecutor would paint it as “two vigilantes attempting to detain a pedestrian, while having no police powers, with no evidence of a crime committed, which lead to altercation where the deceased was shot while trying to defend himself from two armed assailants, while he was unarmed.” |

I have done no further reading, nor do i know enough to judge the situation either way ... but just look at this beautiful wording to open the article ....
"Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was chased by armed white residents of a South Georgia neighborhood. He was shot dead during a confrontation." I mean does that not make it sound like it's 1928 and 100 white men with torches are chasing down some poor innocent black person? |

I wish they went back to the days of just shooting someone who ran. It would stop a lot of the mess around here. |

As had most of the community. Safe place that most did not lock doors until the thefts occurred. The whole community was looking out for him.

An unfortunate consequence of cases like this is that they get taken on by organizations that get cases pushed up to higher courts, and cause lawsuits that could possibly get stand your ground laws to be repealed. And, as much as I hate to say it, having grown up in the small town south, it’s still possible to be arrested, killed, or otherwise harmed from being black, or of the wrong social class, in the wrong part of town. This is the land where high school classes have private proms so black kids can’t come. As had been said before, though, there are parts of this story that are left out. |
