Jogging in Georgia while black.

I don't know why the racists are still trying to set up the whole "Yeah but what if he was trespassing or robbing the place?" gotcha when we've already explained why it doesn't matter.

Again black people's lives do not become forever forfeit if they commit a crime.
 
A white man ran through a Florida neighborhood carrying a TV to prove that looking 'suspicious' wasn't an excuse for killing Ahmaud Arbery

On Friday, Demsick ran 2.23 miles through his neighborhood while carrying a flat-screen TV.

His neighborhood, he said, recently did have a string of thefts. Despite that, his neighbors waved and smiled while he jogged.

"Not a soul" even approached him afterward to ask what he was doing, he said.

I don't know the details or if this is even true, but it could be that as they were blocking off the street for their investigation they saw this happening - maybe as a neighbor was pointing out that this was the house he'd been in, they saw the water issue, and called it in.

Maybe they were implying it might compromise the scene, maybe they were just describing the direction of flow for informational purpose. No idea.

Just relaying what I've heard.

Re: your point, he apparently turned around at one point so maybe where he ends up dying isn't too far from the house. Dunno.

And I heard that Greg McMichael was an Eagle in the local Ku Klux Klan. Maybe it's not true. Dunno.


Come on, dude. Links or it didn't happen.

Dude. Even if he did, it makes no difference in terms of holding a gun on him. It's illegal to 'citizens arrest' people at gunpoint that you think maybe committed a misdemeanor, full stop.

The rednecks are the bad guys here, in terms of committing a demonstrable crime. By their own admission. They have been arrested for said crime. Because it was a very serious one.

Says more about this pastor's neighbors than anything else. Wonder how it would have gone down if he hired an unknown black guy to do this stunt, instead of him in his own neighborhood?

You seem to have managed to miss the whole point of the article and what he did.

You guys are going to hang your hat on lack of official police reports only to sit here a year from now as 5 witnesses in a row sit on the stand describing a string of things being stolen around that neighborhood.

That's my prediction.

You are hanging your hat on things that just don't exist. Stolen copper pipes from a site not using copper (in the trespass video, you see no copper, but you do see PET pipes). Also, to leave the water lines connected at that stage of construction is unlikely since they hadn't installed any fixtures like toilets or sinks. A stolen hammer that doesn't exist. Water damage that, also, no surprise, didn't happen. The lawyer for the worksite stated clearly that there was nothing stolen and no vandalism.

If you are only relaying what you are hearing, your sources are dishonest. Might want to look into that.

They can make up a string of burglaries all they want, they have no proof for it. Their testimony will be impeached and only make them look bad. Lying on the witness stand is never a good look. They are going to have to provide names, dates, and articles missing which could be easily impeached by the "victims" calling BS on those lies. Given the lack of official reports, even the most loyal friend might not want to stare down a perjury charge.

Oh, I got it. The pastor, his neighbors, the twittersphere, and apparently you missed it.

It's cheap theatrics. I have a particular hard-on for self-serving cheap theatrics that only pretend to make a point.

No you definitively didn't else you wouldn't have made the comment you did.

Assuming it would even be admissible in court. Even if he had a string of prior felonies and was on tape driving a U Haul away with a house full of stuff, it wouldn't make threatening him with a shotgun legal.

It might be admissible. If it was, proof of past burglaries would definitely influence a jury, whether or not it ought to, so they'll try to make sure any evidence they have gets it, but you are right that if they try to introduce things that didn't happen, or things that they had heard rumors might have happened, even that could end up backfiring by making them appear dishonest, or making them all too willing to believe anything bad that was said about a black guy.

Is this your interpretation:

A white man enjoys such privilege that can engage in a somewhat suspicious activity without fear of being accosted, much less shot?

Eta: actually, you're right. I should have said that if he went into a black neighborhood where he was not known to his neighbors, his theatrics might not have staged so well

Much better theatrics is the response of heavily armed Black Panthers walking the neighborhood where the murder happened, because open carry is legal in GA. If history is any lesson, conservatives will sour on gun rights as soon as black people start taking an interest.

Absolutely, and good for them. Give hillbilly boys a taste of their own medicine.

Although the problem people are locked up now. I guess they are sending their message to the neighbors who didn't take issue? Some might call that threatening. Two wrongs and all that.

More guns! That'll solve things!

They are just making sure nothing happens to the precious construction site.

Domestic terrorists. That's what people on this forum were calling the armed white protesters at the Michigan Capitol.
 
I've see we've reached the "Now prove to me racism exists" part of every sea-lioning racist apologist routine
