Had one pointed out the driver's side window (I was in front passenger seat) because my jackass buddy driving was instigating a road rage incident. Got shot at after a rec league basketball game erupted into fisticuffs - not at me specifically, but shots fired into our group of cars as we were leaving. Dude said he was going to get his strap and none of us hung out to see if he was serious. Struck one of the cars, no passengers. Definitely the scariest version of it is the cops, to me. But that's because the other two were momentary not prolonged like with the cops. And they had a dog barking, so I was extra scared shitless.
Oh the cop said the white guys that stalked and murdered an unarmed black man were in the right? Case closed then.
Yep. To add to your point, let’s say the gun goes off while they are wrestling and the shot ends up killing the white guy, that would be clear self defense for the jogger. He was acting in self defense, he didn’t have the gun. It was being pointed at him. Yet here we are listening to Georgia suggest that the jogger wasn’t acting in self defense at all essentially (and the white guy stood his ground).
These guys aren’t going to get shit. Best Hope is that their lives are ruined and They lose everything or they die of covid our cancer slowly.
Pointing a gun at someone makes you the aggressor. Attacking someone that points a gun at you is self defense. Any other argument is just spin.
He even tries to avoid the guy holding a gun by going out of his way to get around him and the guy with a gun comes at him. Somehow that is self defense to shoot someone.
Cop shoots someone holding a cell phone: It’s justified because the cop feared for his life. Black man gets into a tussle with a guy pointing a gun at him after that he tried to avoid: Not justified, having a gun pointed at you is no reason to react.
I don't know about Georgia, but in Michigan you can't claim self defense if you started the assault unless you clearly tried to stop. This is what is read in Michigan to juries on that issue. "A person who started an assault on someone else [with deadly force / with a dangerous or deadly weapon] cannot claim that [he / she] acted in self-defense unless [he / she] genuinely stopped [fighting / (his / her) assault] and clearly let the other person know that [he / she] wanted to make peace. Then, if the other person kept on fighting or started fighting again later, the defendant had the same right to defend [himself / herself] as anyone else and could use force to save [himself / herself] from immediate physical harm." That does not apply here from what I can gather. I'd love to do a trial against someone arguing that was self defense
Theyre gonna fry on this one. If they have the call taker telling them not to follow and let the police handle it, on top of the reason for the call being because he is black. . . No way they dont find these two fuck sticks guilty.
Yup, I understand the cynicism, but I’m pretty confident these dudes are going to jail for a long time
Just throwing this out there: even if this goes to trial, and even if it's a slam dunk, it's still not a guarantee any of these crackers will go to jail. The cop in North Charleston who was recorded shooting an unarmed dude in the back walked because one member of the jury said point-blank she was never going to find an officer guilty.
And here’s where conservative media begins to throw out narratives that hmmm maybe he wasn’t such a great kid after all.
I wish I could feel that confident. Seems like this was happily buried and nothing was going to happen until the video got out.
I would love to know what kind of cases the new prosecutor on the case decided to charge without convening a grand jury. They have a fucking video of the crime. How often does that happen?
I really hope these guys go to jail soon so nobody in the public loses it and takes this in their own hands and kills these two ass clowns and then an actual good guy would go to jail for murder.
This is the DA who wanted toxicology for the victim, and then was ultimately recused when it was publicized that his son worked with the murderers. It is not the current DA on the case. There is so much wrongdoing in this case that it is absolutely staggering.
I don't know Georgia criminal law at all, but some states require an indictment for certain charges. If they're not arrested/charged by law enforcement, the DA's only option is the GJ. I guess he could charge and detain under a lesser charge pending the indictment.
It's time to edit the bugs bunny gif cutting Florida off of the US to include Georgia. The way they have flown up the shittiest state power rankings in the last couple months has been truly impressive.
Dude give it a rest. Only blatantly racist fucks (shocker, not all people who are right of center are racist) are siding with the White trash in this video
I think all states require an indictment for any felony charge. Now, you can initiate the proceedings earlier in most, if not all states. But it's still going to the grand jury. It's how they word it that bothers me. All serious cases are going to be presented to the grand jury. What I want to know is what is the prosecutor recommending the grand jury do. Is he recommending an indictment? Or is he acting like it's not a clear cut case so I'm leaving it up to you. That matters more than anything.
