Are y'all aware of what happened to Ahmaud Arbury?

[Prettygurl12]

Have you heard of his case?

The glaring injustice in his case makes my blood boil.

[Fatherhere901]

I just googled as much as I could about Ahmaud Arbury and the incident I can guess you are speaking of.

I can see a lot of preventative measures done by the legal system to make sure the case is investigated so no favoritism is shown in the case on either side. What I mean by that, No matter what or how the case was processed, someone could have a way to scream "Mistrial" when the case is finally heard in the court system. Investigators on the case did the job they could, and because of factors of previous connections with the accused, their work had to be reviewed extensively so no "contamination" could be claimed.
EVEN WITH ALL THAT, here is evidence it wasn't enough to "Squash" the claim.

So, given everyone has read their own articles about the case, What do you believe the investigators and justice system could have done to make sure there was no mistrial?
(criticism to follow)

[ZackBan]

I read all the info available and honestly I can't make sense of it.
Something doesn't add up. The two men absolutely had no need to leave their homes and go after him the way they did I don't think they did it out of community spirit.
If you ask me I think they were involved in something shady and when they saw Aurbery they thought he was there to steal from them or spy on them or do something that would lead to them being discovered so they deliberately silenced him but weren't expecting someone to reccord it. And if I'm being s complete conspiracy nutt, since he wasn't an angle either and had a record and servered jail time maybe he actually WAS doing something shady that they caught wind of.
Either way there's more to the story than the public is being told (as always)

[Whatthefluff]

It reminds me of Trayvon Martin's murder, in that an innocent black person was racially profiled and some white person asshole decided to murder an innocent person for a crime they did not commit.
But this is the world we live in. Injustice, heartbreak, and hopelesness are what makes the world go round.

[AllAmericanGirl99]

Didn't Trayvon Martin attack a Hispanic guy and get shot?

[AllAmericanGirl99]

Agreed, luckily they were armed and able to defend themselves

[Avicenna]

It didn't come close to meeting the standard for a citizen's arrest. Someone with a law enforcement background knows that and not to just pull a gun on someone. That the father once investigated him for a crime when the father worked for the local DA makes it even worse.
Vigilantism over burglaries? Crazy. And who wants to "talk" to armed men who want to stop you?
And dont even get started on the conflicts of interest on the part of the DAs who initially "investigated" the case.

[Prettygurl12]

Exactly.

[Avicenna]

People with personal ties to law enforcement sometimes act as though the law doesn't apply to them.

[Prettygurl12]

That behavior just straight up would not happen in my department.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, well, there are plenty of places it does happen.

[0oGreyo0]

Was he the guy robbing the place or something. I don't know I can't riled up by it. My only issue with the case is it took 2 months to arrest them.
I also don't like the black on black crime argument. I'm black and I'm never commits a crime. And that doesn't apply here. Because if it was a black guy on camera murdering somebody they would be arrested.

I try to tune the world out and live in lala land cuz this just norm

[TienShenhan]

Yeah. Whats most concerning to me is that this is what the media wants you focused on, rather than the countless kids that are going to keel over and die of starvation due to these global shut downs. They dont even talk about it, and the global levels of acute starvation have doubled

[SpiderManFan2002]

Yeah I have seen it all over social media and it's so disgusting it took so long for his killers to be arrested.

[Girther10]

Yes it’s all over he news. At least they will fry, most likely.
At some point, you just have to accept that evil exists.

[tartaarsaus]

Yeah it was on the news. One of the worse parts is that his killers got arrested only after the media attention, he’d been killed in February and only now it surfaces

[sensible27]

Who cares? I generally try to or don't pay any attention to things that are exclusive incidents.

[Actsofashley]

Wow you’re a horrible person

[sensible27]

I have no Idea what the incident is about but given that it's an exclusive incident (and it didn't hit my radar). I would assume it isn't world shattering.

[888theGreat]

Sounded like a hanging party , but a gun was used instead of a rope. Self Justice causes problems like this.

[Agape93]

Yeah I’ve seen it online

[moonpie89]

Yes , heard about it

[Tstrbrainer]

What's that?

[tartaarsaus]

African-American guy who was jogging in a neighborhood in Georgia, chased by a father and son in their car, ultimately to be shot and killed by that father and son

[Tstrbrainer]

Okay, so was the motive racism or did they suspected him for a crime? I came to know that the father was a cop

[tartaarsaus]

Well, you don’t actually have any right to shoot somebody jogging, even if they suspected him of a crime elsewhere. There’s no aspect of protecting yourself, your own property or whatsoever. Whether they suspect him of a crime is actually quite irrelevant for whether or not the act was despicable.

[tartaarsaus]

The father’s motivation was that he looked like someone who burgled a house in their general neighborhood after he was jogging past their house, so they chased him and shot him. Note that there has only been a single burglary and none of that is a reason for killing someone

[Tstrbrainer]

Yeah, murder is a more serious crime. So was that racism?
There are events happening in my country where ordinary people are attacked by the crowd suspecting them to be thieves. But they are not shot as citizens are not allowed to possess guns

[crazygus77]

Yes I am.
