Based on the new videos out, it's pretty obvious he wasn't out just for his normal run.

There's video of him trespassing on the construction site right before the confrontation, so it does seem that the Dad/son combo were out to confront him over that.


Changes the story some, sure. But for me, they still murdered the dude. You can't be tracking a person down with weapons out then claim self defense when that person tries to protect himself, that just doesn't make any sense.

Supposedly they called the cops saying they were going to make a citizen arrest, father was a police officer (retired maybe?). If that is true and then when they confronted him, which they shouldn't have, he lunged and we all know what happened after that. If that is the sequence, it's not murder

George should find the kids who knocked his fence down and kill them cause they did more damage than Ahmaud did

You take one small piece and want to turn it into something else. The media, and his family, says he was an avid jogger and that is all he was doing. Now new evidence comes out, trespassing and multiple phone calls to 911, bet the media don't say he was just jogging now or that he was an avid jogger.

And yes, nobody runs in khaki shorts if they are an avid jogger......NOBODY

This is where you are an idiot and only want to see the facts as you want to see them. You probably thought Mike Brown was innocent too

That's actually an excellent comparison.


If George saw that kids that did it, then grabbed his son, and him and his son tracked the kids down while also having a 2nd car with another friend tracking them down and did so with guns out, I just don't see how you can blame someone for trying to protect themselves from the dudes following you around with guns out.

This is where you two are missing the premise of the original post.

Media and athletes response to video being put out is that it was a lynching of an avid jogger.

He wasn't out jogging, and if you think so what was he doing in the construction site....looking for a pisser?

The two guys made a dumb ass mistake by trying to arrest the guy. They could have easily just followed behind him a couple hundred feet back and just report to the cops his whereabouts.

Didn't realize he was that old. But then I definitely should have since Seinfeld is well over 20 years old since it cancelled.

You can't be that dumb can you? As much as you like to stay up to date an American news this one should be pretty easy for you. It wasn't a random act of violence like the media wanted to portray in the beginning. These two guys fucked up and killed a guy, but it wasn't because he was some black guy running in their neighborhood.

im sure if it was a white guy trespassing on a construction site it would of ended the same way ... ...

look at these 2 hope they rot.

Yep, but for some reason, 99% of your focus is on the kid not being a jogger, and not the 2 dudes following him around with a gun and shooting him when he tried to defend himself.

100% of my post was that the media wanted to push a narrative that he was a black jogger killed by 2 white men for no reason.

who cares what the media thinks..

put the blunt down...

If you don't understand the implications of false narratives in the news, especially false ones that bring out primal fear/hatred among people based on skin color then I really don't know what to tell you. Think of all the businesses that could have been saved in Ferguson had the media not stoke that racial fire with the embers burning for a long time there.

Here are some headlines or paragraphs in the news over the past couple of days:

From 5 days ago:

Ahmaud Arbery, who is black, was unarmed and exercising when he was shot and killed by two white men while jogging back on February 23 in Glynn County, Georgia.

From 2 days ago:

To honor his life and demand justice for his death, runners across the country, including in Kalamazoo, gathered to do what Arbery was doing moments before he was shot.

From 1 day ago:

Ahmaud Arbery was fatally shot by father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael while out jogging in Brunswick on February 23

Now if the news could do some investigative work they would have known that he wasn't out jogging, as you can see in the video from him walking into the construction site. There is so much ring/arlo video out there they could have easily debunked the idea that this was just 2 white guys killing a black jogger. That is the problem with this whole story from the beginning.

primal fear.. theres been like 3-5 unarmed black killings every year for about a decade and we havent seen any revolutionary uprising from black people with guns and shit because of the media's narrative yet...

go find those kids who broke your fence.. today theyre breaking fences tomorrow theyre loitering on construction sites.

Once again, let's twist it to something it's not. It's the false narrative the media likes to play to continue this us versus them mentality. Let me say it again, these two guys (and possibly a 3rd who was video taping) truly fucked up and it will most likely cost them years in jail if they don't get off on stand your ground somehow. That was not the premise behind my post, it was always the false narrative that this was a modern day lynching.

As far as my fence, if I caught them doing it (actually thru my fence and in my yard). I am putting an ass whipping on them, I'm not going to kill them. I don't care if they are 12 or 50. I would happily go to jail for it.
