Gregory McMichael and Travis McMichael were arrested in connection with the killing of Mr. Arbery, which had led to protests in Georgia.

WTF took authorities so long?

If that video was never released publicly 3 days ago, you can bet they'd still be roaming free.

I'm sure they made them take off their MAGA hats for the mug shot. The stereotypical trump supporters...fat and stupid.

R2 - you forgot ugly.

We know...since yesterday...and yesterday’s threads. Do a search, bitch.

All one has to do is turn the tables on an incident. If a white person was jogging down an open street and a car with two black men confronted the runner and shot him dead, would them be arrested?

Georgia is still such a fucked up state, judiciously and politically.

Has anyone called for the district attorney to step down for hiding this video

Do these two people have a lot of info on other officers? Did that stop the officials from arresting them originally?

Joe Biden’s Twitter writer is incensed.

Joe Biden wants pudding. He’s asked three times now.

They couldn't find the two, because all white people look alike.

Your Britishness is showing, OP.

It’s fucking Georgia. Black people can be shot for queuing in a McDonald’s drive thru...

Intensive efforts are being made to shift blame to the victim. He made us shoot him, he really did.

Now a 3rd person got arrested for video-taping the incident and blocking Ahmaud from running away. This is so sad on so many levels.

I’m in a FB group devoted to photographing houses that are about to be torn down. No one has ever been shot going through deserted houses. 🤔🤔

r17 probably because there is nothing to steal

We used to scope out homes under construction when I was a kid. But we never got any guff because cameras weren't ubiquitous back then and we were white kids. Oh and one thing I know - law enforcement I don't care where you are in the U.S. they close ranks and never cross the blue line. Seriously - that's why I advocate a) disarming all police and b) setting up prosecutors whose sole job is to prosecute police misconduct.

Oh yeah and once a cop, always a cop. As a kid I wondered why we never got hassled by the local police. Even the State Police were deferential towards us. I found out why in 2005, my maternal grandfather did 20 years on the Police Force. He was my 'guardian angel' It all makes sense to me now.

That said the McMichaels are going to jail for a time. No doubt there. And they should, they murdered another human who happened to have brown skin. And if there's no racial motivation for this then what was the motive for gunning him down?

I mean I can imagine if I were dark skinned and two white guys tried to stop me. Ones who likely never identified as police or former police. I'd fight back too. Well I don't have to imagine too much, put me in the sun for about 15-20 minutes a day and I turn brown.

I hope the killer and his son has the same level of incompetent lawyer as the man who filmed the incident does. Send them ALL up the river!
