@Pleiadian in this case, I don’t know exactly what happened. None of us do do and never will. But what would you do if some asshole came up to you and said, “citizens arrest.” My response would be, “yeah, fuck you.”
No, it's not BS. I've seen drunkards under Citizens arrest. Those Samaritans might have saved a loved one that day, if not several. However this citizens arrest is a facade in this case.
Citizens arrest is not Bs u can detain someone that's involved in a felony if u witness it. Not saying there's any bearing here but ur wrong u can most definitely detain someone
@Gerardo Dibbert Lets ignore that there is absolutely no evidence that he wasn’t actually jogging. I call BS on the idea that if you were totally innocent and armed men started chasing you while yelling death threats that you would say “I’ve done nothing wrong so I’ll stop and see what they want.” No, the more innocent you are, the more likely you are to be scared bc you would have no idea what the men wanted.
I'll never forget when they finally went to arrest Gregory and Travis, and you could tell that the cops we're almost physically hurting when they had to arrest them. I had made a phone call to the Glynn county Police department just the day before, I'm not ashamed to say I was harassing them. The next day they got arrested. I like to think I was part of the public outcry that finally got them arrested. I'm proud to say that.
As a result of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder last year, I stopped jogging in my neighborhood and signed up with Planet Fitness. I live in the Pennsylvania suburbs, and I used to jog every day like 5am before I started work. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on my reasons for joining the gym, you can’t argue with the fact that all it takes is one time for someone to think that it’s suspicious for me to be out jogging that early in the morning. Especially if I don’t respond (or comply) to them because I have my Apple earbuds in listening to music. If I’m shot dead, I don’t get to argue my point or proclaim my innocence. At least at the gym there are cameras and plenty of people who can bare witness that all I’m trying to do is workout. This is my reality.
I take it you didn’t hear about the man shot and killed in his vehicle and in front of his daughter while they waited for his wife to come out the gym? In the words of DL Hughley, “The worst place for a black person in America is in the imagination of white people.” They gotta do better. Period.
@@deevahlyshus: I missed that story. Nevertheless, I am fully aware that I could probably get into a car accident or slip on a banana peel on the way to the gym. My issue is that I don’t get to play devil’s advocate if I’m laying in a casket, while lawyers argue the details of what led to my demise. I’d rather take my chances with the treadmill.
@@SuperUsernamehere: Not at all. However, I think you are totally missing my point. My decision is based on me controlling the narrative regarding my own safety.

That would be nice. Unfortunately, it needs to involve interstate commerce. Maybe there will be more investigations and charges based on testimony in this case.
The same people who believe Arbery should've submitted to citizen's arrest applaud Rittenhouse for shooting his way out. This self defense horse shit has gone too far. A citizen's arrest is only lawful if you've witnessed a crime not if you suspect a crime.
Beau of the 5th Column has several videos about "the 14 rules" (of fascism) from several different sources. One of the rules is about this whole illogic of 2 similar things being totally different, simultaneously to suit their viewpoints and narratives. The list of rules is scary in exactly matching the GOP politics of the last few years.
the father DID SHOOT from the cab of the truck!! Ahmaud ran around the PASSENGER side of the vehicle to avoid an encounter, then the son ran to the front of the truck to meet him. Ahmaud was fighting to get the gun so he wouldn’t get shot. they chased him down WITH GUNS!
@@shlepmessing8703 oh, you mean the underage child that wasn’t old enough to own a gun and drove there looking for trouble?! no, they didn’t have guns. one guy was chasing him, so he turned around and shot the unarmed man 4 times. then ran away, while people yelled out “he just shot someone!!” so a few other guys try to tackle him and he shoots them and kills another one.
How nonchalant these people speak of their parts in the murder of Ms. Arbery's son. I wouldn't know, but as a mother, the lies must cut as deep as the killing into her heart. That's a strong woman. My heart aches for her.
@@ursamajor6347 Yes. Systemic racism in a country that elected Obama twice with overwhelming support. Where African immigrants and Asians are the most successful demographic. Where black women are very successful. Where the people claiming now that systemic racism has always existed have been silent for decades of their lives and only start claiming it recently.
"they were trying to conduct a 'lawful' citizen's arrest..." I just wished US Americans could actually comprehend how fucked up this sound to anybody here in Western Europe
I share the exact sentiments. America is an unforgiving violent country with a questionable moral compass. Many parts of the world look at incidences like this in horror. However, in America there are many citizens who really don’t care because he might have a criminal past. So he deserves what’s coming to him. The guy can only be accused of trespassing. However, when he was executed, he was empty handed. You would think he was a murderer, rapist or terrorist. Thank God I live in Western Europe.
Understood, but in western Europe you also have child sex grooming gangs that when a concerned father tries to get his kid out of their hands calls the police and has the father arrested. I'd rather take a little danger and have some control over my life.
My heart goes out to Wanda Cooper Jones... I cry with every interview of her knowing she lost her child in such a horrific manner and she maintains this exquisite composure and class. She will have justice for Ahmaud. I celebrate this mother, this woman... My heart aches for your family and sending light and love.
@@TheRealRusDaddy Haven't heard any evidence of that from the court reports, did you pull that out of your arse?? Even if it was true, they could have called the police and just videoed him and followed him, but no, they had to be the guys who arrested a felon, so they could boast in the bar later!!
@Matt manning I like how you like to say they're ALL looters and murderers🤣🤪whaever helps the lie...so I guess all trumpers are pedophiles and rapists? We can say "whatabout ALL the pedophiles and rapists that follow donny"? Same sh!t you guys try and pull, doesn't work🤷♀️
Rittenhouse was proven self defense. Arbery's case is murder. The white guys were chasing Arbery down like those guys were chasing Rittenhouse. Arbery didn't have a chance to defend himself.
Completely different circumstances. You shouldnt lump them together. That's intellectually dishonest. The system worked for Rittenhouse ... Hopefully it does for Aubrey too.
Why isn't Arbery grabbing the gun considered self defense? This young man is accosted by three large white men who are armed and he tries to get away and when he can't he tries to take away their weapon. Why isn't Arbery allowed to defend himself? So you are not allowed to claim self defense if you are doing something wrong. If you are doing something illegal in the first place you are not allowed to claim self defense if you kill someone. What we need to determine is if the actions in chasing down a random person while armed with a gun and detaining them with no evidence that they did anything is legal. If that is legal then what's to stop anyone from being held at gunpoint and then killed if they "resist" as in run or try to defend themselves? Let's change things around. If you are white and find yourself running in a predominantly black neighborhood and you are chased down by armed men, are they in the right? Can we have the kind of vigilante rule that comes with the implications that what these men were doing was legal? These men can call the police if they believe a crime is being committed (although the police are suspect here too but still) or they can document the scene but they shouldn't be allowed to chase down a person down and they certainly shouldn't be allowed to kill them. If that's legal then this country is going to Hell in a handbasket.
He can't "claim" anything because he's dead. simply put he can't offer a defense or his side of the story on how it was to him, and if the video didn't come out, there likely wouldn't have ever bee an arrest or a trial over it, these good ol' boys would have been taken at their word by their local government and law enforcement friends.
I'm white, I've lived in my neighborhood sine the 1980s and it's shifted quite a bit since I moved in. when I moved in it was most all white, in the early 2000s it was most all black, now it's well mixed, but I was stopped by police frequently and asked why I was in the neighborhood during the 2000s , and always searched for drugs. It's not a bad neighborhood, I've lived in worse this has issues but it's quite mostly, which is why I stay here. But these biases exist, cops and people will wonder what a black man is doing in a white neighborhood, and my neighbors all knew me so that wasn't a problem, but the police didn't so they constantly stopped and searched me because I'm a white dude in a black neighborhood, and automatically suspected of being there to buy drugs, it's the only thing they every looked for, drugs or significant sums of cash. "what are you doing here? this neighborhood is dangerous for you?" Me: Ummmm.... I LIVE here..... "are you holding?" Me: Holding what???? " you're detained at the moment, Let me see your ID".... oh.... you do live here.... got any drugs on you guns knives and grenades missiles or large sums of cash? Turn around so I can search you for my safety"........ It is what it is my friend, anyone that says these things don't happen doesn't live in the real world.
Because George Zimmerman got away with it and therefore they're all trying to use this as their excuse. Remember the boy was walking down the street and this man chased him after being told not to. Then claimed self defense! So that's gonna be their regular "go to" now
This whole society is sad. The ladies’ son has been killed, the whole world is watching and this person from CNN conducting this interview with Mrs. Cooper continues to call her, Wanda. Her attorney, corrects him, announcing her as Mrs. Cooper, CNN commentator once again calls on her as Wanda. The disrespect to black people is never absent, it’s just rarely called out.
They CALLED and did not have the decency to come to her house and tell her to her face. That's almost as despicable as lying to her adding salt to the wound !!!! Fire the police dept and start new !!!!
That's true. Heartless unprofessional pricks call to inform a mother her child was shot to death. Police should have come to the home unless they suspected the son was killed under questionable circumstances and feared the reaction.
What were they going to say? "Ma'am, your son's a criminal, resisted arrest, tried to grab the arresting persons gun and got killed". For what? She knew he was a criminal, given his past criminal records, and should have known this would happen one day.
"Fire the police dept"... that's adorable. Police depts in America are made up of corrupt uneducated thugs who bully their way into being shielded from accountability. A bunch of useless entitled bullies with badges who literally get away with murder. Policing in America is a disgraceful scam.
Doesn't this remind you of 3 civil rights protesters in Mississippi, the sheriff was in on it the mayor, and all white jury. The feds had to go to mississippi to get any justice. In this case the police lied to mother, the prosecutor said there was nothing to see here ( now she is charged) AND THE FEDS HAD TO COME DOWN TO GET ANYTHING DONE. Looks like the only thing that has changed down there is ...instead of chasing him down on horse back with a rope, is now they use a pick up truck and a shot gun and now they leave the sheets on the bed.
You have depicted in a nut shell what continues to be a major problem in our country; racism in plain view and sadly nothing is being done to hold the perpetrators accountable because those in high places are still covering it up.
And if you acknowledge racism to any degree, they say your racist against white people. Yeah... prejudiced towards bigots, means racism against whites. It's insane. What I have witnessed the last several years has absolutely destroyed my faith in humanity.
To me a person can not aim a shotgun at someone an then claim self-defense when they try to take said shotgun to protect themselves. The later is the case of self-defense. This was out right murder.
Self defense is when someone is coming at you with the intent to threaten/harm you. They were doing the pursuing . This is so obvious who is the attackers and who is the victim.
The new thing in America ( or perhaps it has always been like this) is to go look for trouble create it or find. Then immediately call yourself the victim
I’m the wife of a contractor. Contractors stop at construction sites all the time( interest, excitement, see how it’s being constructed, knowledge, see who the trades or sub trades are). My husband drives around to look at site all the time. Sometimes no one is working and sometimes they are. Sometimes the trade people working will ask him for a referral for heating/cooling contractors, kitchen companies, cabinet makers, plumbers, electrical contractors,flooring, drywallers,painters.They help each other out. With the shortage on trades people in the construction industry it’s exciting to see a young person interested. It should not be a risk to your life or a death sentence.
thank you for writing that (we do it to bc "interest ... how it's being constructed ..." - but then only poke in during usual workday when we know a specific trade are engaged that we need help with personally)
your husband walks INSIDE the unfinished house when people aren't there? I can see if people are there and you can ask questions but with no one on site and at night, that's just plain wrong.

Times when your head won't stop swirling so you find a quite spot to think, or he could have been just interested in a house being built. And if someone pointed a gun at me, I'm going to fight like hell. That would make me, what, aggressive, scarry, deserving of death. He trespassed, it's a ticket. And you know what I'm white I'm not a racist, I have been, not on purpose but I still must still take responsibility for the hurt and pain I caused other. So I did that, and it was not hard, I don't feel guilty for being white. I do think I'm a better person for learning I was hurting people,, so I could stop doing that.. I will be racist at sometime again, again in ignorance, but again I take responsibility for my actions. I hope it is pointed out, I hope they will accept my apology, I don't like hurting people, so I will try to never do it again. I will be a better person that day than I am today.

As a Canadian, watching the injustice in your country never ceases to amaze me. How even one African-American could support Trump or the Republican Party stupefies me. Trump is just a symbol of the ignorance in your education system. It’s as though ignorance grows like a tumour in your country. To understand how you became the world’s super-power is baffling and disturbing. That beautiful young man, and the loss to his family, because of the colour of his skin - only - in this day and age. Shocking, yet not so shocking, at what I have seen the United States become, and the cancer it has turned into under Trump. You always had bias and prejudice, just like the rest of the world, but as many of us try to make this world a better place, you were supposed to be the symbol of democracy and fairness to us. And, oh, how you’ve failed. May this family find justice of some kind in the guilt of these 3 pieces of human garbage.
My sister it baffles me too ,I think any black person who supports trump inspite of what he has done to America is either self hating or still in mental slavery.
What has happened to the Police Officers and Detectives that lied purposely, to quickly cover up what these murderers did to this young black man? Have they been fired, reprimanded, loss of pay... what and how has this been handled with in the Department?
@@natashanyxx9486 I agree. We need to change this dispicable behavior and how Police Cadets are educated or we will continue to have heartbroken Mothers. I just can't stand to see another Mother or family member collapsing to the ground when they find out the truth of how their baby was murdered. I think this Police Department needs to have an Independent Audit to review every single arrest, killing, murder, drug charges and any other interactions they have had for the last 20 year's. Maybe longer. I am sure this isn't the first time this has happened, because they lied too easily to his Mother. Mark my words... This is not the first time for this Department.
Stupid dum police tell a lot of lies, I have seen this with my own eyes, a lot of times police goes on killers side more than victims sides this been going on for so long ❗❗❗🙅🙅🙅
What has happened to them? Probably promoted. I don't know but it is no secret that lying, covering up, blatant tampering with evidence...... is standard procedure in all police culture in America. How any American can have any respect for police, unless they're racist POS themselves is beyond me. Meanwhile NOTHING changes. No bills for police reform have been passed in Congress. None! Zero! It's just disgraceful.
I would have waited for the authorities to arrive. Yes, entering the construction site was benign, but it was clearly unwelcome and deserving of scrutiny. If you violently assault someone with a gun in his hands and try to take his firearm, you leave him with little choice.
@ricky heckendorf What the hell are you talking about? That happened yes and Germans murdered Jews. What has that got to do with this? BLM is not a cop-killing organization, and this kid was not a BLM member anyway. If they had seen him kill a cop and then tried to detain him, then you would be making sense. He did not, they did not and you do not.

The poor kid. He was interested because he had a wish to become a carpenter, like his uncles. When our house was being built, we used to go look at other houses under construction every single weekend. We wanted to compare notes, get ideas about design, compare materials, etc. What a sad waste.
Huh, you walk in to private houses under construction that have "trespassers will be prosecuted" signs up, at multiple times of day or night, even after people have previously chased you away? Just jogging, wtf...
*Especially when they didn't yell out 'Stop thief' or 'You are under arrest' like you are supposed as a citizen yell 'Citizen's arrest' so others and the accused know what is happening. If Ahmaud thought they were [correctly] vigilantes you would think his not being armed should negate the requirement that the 'arrestor' was in danger. Also if you are to weak or fat to protect the weapon you brought to a fight then you don't get to cry you were threatened after you chased someone down like the Spaniards used do...*
@Confederate Lives Matter Yeah, I know, right? I mean, the feds should have made the floor of the Capitol slick with the blood of all those MAGA cop killers.
If I had guys with guns chasing me down the street in a truck, I'd be wanting to get as far away as possible. The testimony I heard from those people sounded like they were doing a reshoot of Hard Target but without the happy ending. They seemed to be painting a picture of a caught-in-the-act criminal fleeing the scene of a crime, not that they were simply hunting down a man who committed the heinous crime of being black while jogging. That one of them was brandishing a shotgun at him and he tried to grab for it says to me he didn't want to die. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd figure if someone looked like they were about to kill me, I'd try to make it hard for them if I could; if that meant grabbing for the gun and doing something to make it inoperable, I'd probably try. (Bending it round my assailant's head so he loses interest is acceptable. Killing him is *absolutely* not.) Then again, I'm white, not a jogger and don't live in good-ol'-boy country, so this kind of thing is highly unlikely to ever be a problem for me. At that, I don't feel too safe only living 3000 miles away, so there ya go. In the end, it's a pointless killing of a man by people wholly unqualified to do what they were doing. People who now seem to be playing the victim card, as if the family aren't suffering enough already.
Well said. You are SO right! Their story amounts to arguments made up by their lawyers after the fact,, but these killers never meant to do a citizen’s arrest or whatever, there were bored of an afternoon and imagined it would be fun to go shooting some black guy passing by... What escapes me, though, is the motive of the guy who filmed the whole chase and killing. Did he mean to keep this video as a trophy ? Because tell me about a piece of self-incriminating evidence... On top of being murderers, these guys are triple A-holes!
How do you paint a picture of a criminal "fleeing in the act" while not stating what crime he committed? Is his crime assumed to be "being in the wrong neighborhood while black"?
@@xman9190 it's georgia. it might (probably will) be enough for the jurors to acquit bc the murderers say they THOUGHT Aubury was fleeing "in the act." white jurors: "they _thought_ he was - and they couldn't POSSIBLY know they were wrong ..."

@@myriamickx7969 I can't speak to what Arbery was thinking when he confronted McMichaels and tried to wrest the rifle from him. And neither can anyone else. Similarly, you have no basis to claim the McMichaels wanted to kill Arbery, not detain him. What evidence do you have to back up your claim? In fact, looking at it objectively, the opposite appears to be true. If the McMichaels wanted to shoot Arbery, they could had easily done so before Arbery reached the truck. And it would have been a lot less risky for them to shoot Arbery from a safe distance rather than wait until he was close enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat over the rifle. They also passed up an easy opportunity to shoot Arbery when they sped past him to set up their roadblack. Because they were right next to him. But, if you have facts to support your belief, I would like to hear them.

In my experience, law enforcement lies. In Supreme Court rulings, law enforcement lies, and it's okay. In countless newspaper reports and UA-cam videos, law enforcement lies.
The defending lawyers actually ask the court that no more “black pastors come in with Ahmaud mother” and also said “how many pastors does she have” smh the ignorance of that statement. The mother and one accompany is allowed to go into court. How is that harmful when there is about eight officers and including Marshalls that are in the court everyday.
The black pastor was Rev. Al Sharpton. It should not have mattered, and they were showing their bias pretty clearly, making a point of mentioning his color in their fake outrage. They were probably afraid he would over-shadow them.

If that was a black man, the entire neighborhood would have called the cops. This country is sill have race issue and unfair judicial system against black and brown people.
We built a home in a Texss community. Our neighbors called and told us there were people entering the property almost daily to look around. There were even residents from the committee who would drive up to the property and take brick and stone from our property, loaded it into their vehicle and drove to their home. None of those people who stole from the house were black. This was a rampant problem in New Houston area communities. Investigators even discovered homeowners were stealing sod off of New home sites. None of those who stole would be considered so called thugs. They were home owners who were stealing because they found it easier to steal what they needed than to purchase it. None of those thieves were murdered for actually stealing in an open carry state where there are laws to protect citizens who see such crimes and take action.
I always look at houses under construction in my neighborhood!! Always!! I’m shocked there’s no other footage of people stopping by and looking into the property!!!
One would hope police departments around the country would screen for that type of bias, racism, that some detectives and police officers are clearly showing in this trial. But, the ones who do the hiring are probably the new good ol' boys of yesteryears. That type of bias and hate is passed on from generation to generation. Their bias is stronger than their professionalism.
I would like to know why wjite judges allow intentions and attitydes of the deceased victim when he is black. This video does that. Yet in rittenhouse shootings prosecutors are prevented from doing t he same about a white shooter who killed two people. Why is that? Racist judges & juries.
How do you get to be that age and you've never heard the expression "He was lied on." Especially being a reporter, where you kind of... communicate with a lot of people? My heart goes to this woman. ♥️
@@wilywascal2024 he clearly said what do you mean he was lied on he didn’t say can you give me some background on that, 🤦🏾♂️ stop trying speak up for people who clearly said something and they know what they said
It seems you misunderstood. It was asked to elicit the details from the mother. It wasn't that the reporter didn't know what she meant or what that detailed, it was just a question designed to provide her the opportunity for her tell her story in her own words. That is what a good reporter (or good communicator) does. Also, it was important that she tell her story, because she was witness to what the police had told her, and she is the one making the accusation that their story changed.
Moreover, it is typical in interviews like this that a producer, reporter, or staff goes over the information that will be provided by the interviewee before taping. Thus, the question wasn't being asked to inform the reporter, but rather to inform the audience, and it wasn't necessarily to define the phrase "he was lied on" for viewers so much as to inform them of the specifics of that allegation, of that to which she was referring. As you observed, anyone could easily understand the phrase to mean a falsehood told meant to impugn a person's reputation. But here the falsehood told by the police was also meant to justify or rationalize her son's shooting, to cover for the perpetrators who chased him down and caused his death, to falsely and unjustly portray Ahmaud as the criminal instead of the victim. Hope this explanation helps make sense of things!
@@korReeS2 ~ Couldn't really have explained it any clearer or better. The question asked by the reporter is not in dispute. But it seems it was misinterpreted to mean the reporter didn't know what the phrase meant, which is an unreasonable assumption to make. No, the reporter didn't spell out he was looking for background, because he didn't have to; that was implied in the question. The reporter is merely providing an opening for the mother to tell her story. These types of questions are asked by reporters all the time, they really are not that unusual. In fact, it's typical for reporters to ask a question where the answer is already known. It is done to get people on the record, to provide a first-hand account, and to allow an opportunity for people to expound upon the answer. Either some people are misunderstanding the question by taking it too literally, or they are looking for fault where none exists because they have an agenda to discredit CNN. I assume the best in people until proven otherwise, therefore my presumption for this comment and your reply is that it's just a simple misunderstanding. So, I ask you to have an open mind and consider the following. The phrase used is self-explanatory; do you really think that a reporter who has been around and has a good education didn't understand the phrase? How could he not? Is it not far more likely that the innocuous reason I explained is the reason? Having watched this reporter for some time, I know that he is a good reporter with a sharp mind; he didn't fall off the hay wagon yesterday.
It's a reporter's job to clarify anything that isn't 100% clear and could be misinterpreted. Especially when someone is talking with a regional accent and using colloquialisms. We now live in a global society where someone from Denmark could be watching this news report. Bottom line, better to ask the question than possibly be misunderstood.
The trap like a rat is not as important as the fact that Ahmaud was still alive when the police arrived it almost looks like he was trying to sit up.but you can hear him gasping for air and they are not doing anything to help him. Crump if you guys can help take on this case do.The truth must come to light I became so ill listening to this I plead the blood of Jesus over this family and the trial. Sickening 🙏😇🩸❤️
Ahmad 's mother is so brave and courageous! She is a beautiful woman and I praise her tenacity for justice in her sons lynching and murder! I hope that the family will get some peace now that these monsters are behind bars! Praise God for justice for Ahmah!
@@AmericanPatriot5 Good lord, please stop. Her son has been dead for almost 2 years. In that time she’s also done dozens of interviews with media, police, activists, and lawyers regarding the case. It is very natural to be able to eventually overcome emotions in public going through that situation.
@@shlepmessing8703 The father thought because he was ex law enforcement he had the right to kill at will. Law enforcement officials covered it up.

They must have never heard what you do in the dark will come out in the light.
Never heard of anyone taking a weapon to initiate a citizen's arrest. there was no "probable cause" for anyone to have chased Arbery. they didn't waste no time throwing the black policeman behind bars that killed those two white drug dealers. He didn't even get a trial. He was arrested and sent to prison for 20 years for ridding the world of trash and debris.
I admire his mom she keeps, her poise and I'm sure we're around the same age, They chased him down like an animal! Because they judge him and the color of his skin, May God give his family strength.
@@SuperUsernamehere So you personally know Ahmaud Arbery's mother and have a magical book that gives you all the details on how she raised him and his upbringing as a youth? For the record, a person can have great parents and a great upbringing but still end up having run-ins with the law as an adult, it happens more often than you think. Also for the record, Arbery's past is irrelevant because he is not the one on trial here, your "heroic" trio are. Speaking of "criminals", it's interesting how you, and others like you, are nowhere to be speaking out against the rampant corruption is all levels of law enforcement, which once again reared it's ugly head when the police officers, detectives and the DA that was involved in this case tried their best to cover it up.
@@inugamix922 I agree with you totally!! Whenever the defense is on trail especially, when the victim is an African American- Always calling the victim a criminal.
@@evatripp7788 The two old guys will die in prison. The son will be too old to do anything with his life after he gets out and will die alone and hungry. He won't know what to do with himself at 75 when he gets out. Instead of having 3 square meals and a daily routine he can count on, he'll have to beg for food when they let him out.
It is clear that this case has nothing to do with vigilantism. To see this, one only needs to acknowledge the following: * Ahmaud Arbery was unarmed. * We have only the word of the defendants with regard to details that do not appear on video. * Even if Ahmaud Arbery was trespassing at the time, this minor offense does not indicate the use of deadly force by citizens or law enforcement. * Even if Ahmaud Arbery had been engaged in burglary, the legal remedy is arrest and trial, not death. * Even if Ahmaud Arbery had been engaged in an attempt to forcibly obtain a firearm from one of the defendants, this would do nothing to alter the fact that he had not been previously armed. So, it is the responsibility of the defendants to demonstrate why this case should not be viewed as one in which it was actually Arbery who reasonably feared for his life, and so made a last ditch effort to protect himself. There is no good reason to think otherwise in this case. It should be obvious to any thinking, feeling person that Ahmaud Arbery was stalked and murdered by racially motivated violent criminals.
@@AmericanPatriot5 😂😂😂😭 So let me get this straight. 3 guys chase Kyle rittenhouse, threatening to kill him and assaulting him. Kyle kills them (rightfully so as it seems so far) and you call it self defense. 3 guys chase Ahmaud Arbery, threatening to kill him and assaulting him and when he fights for his life the guys that chased, threatened and assaulted him actually KILL HIM and are suddenly the ones acting in self defense? How does this make sense to you?
@@AmericanPatriot5 “they been through a lot”??? They PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH EVERYTHING THEYVE “been through” you weirdo. They haven’t “been through” enough yet. I really hope you have to endure the pain Ahmaud’s mother has to endure one day... Only to have some nut job show more empathy for the person(s) that murdered your loved one smfh. You people are disgusting.
This is disgusting lying to a mother over how her son was killed and for what?? These individuals will not be able to lie their way out anything when they meet their maker.
I have been to many houses under construction just to look what homeowners doing in design of that house? Curious thats all. I ain't never been chased or shot for doing so! Neighbors could have called police, but because iam white female never happened? To bad he wasn't white female he be alive right now 🤨
@Lisa Stettin If hadn't been for his mother it wouldn't gotten any attention from the media or law enforcement they was trying to cover it up from the very day it happened
It seems quite clear that Arbery was acting in self defense, that he feared for his life. Funny how Reich-wingers overwhelmingly want these three white men found innocent for the killing of Arbery, claiming self-defense for them, but not for Arbery, who had committed no crime and there being no justification for any citizen's arrest. They also overwhelmingly want Rittenhouse to be found innocent on the basis of self-defense, despite the fact he was acting criminally by being in Kenosha after curfew and a minor illegally carrying an assault rifle, and who was an active shooter when fleeing the scene of the crime after he shot the first person. With Reich-wingers, it's all about the racism and vigilantism, being able to inflict violence upon others without consequence, obtaining the same kind of screwed up qualified immunity given to police using the excuse of self-defense. It's the modern-day version of KKK tactics used by the current crop of white supremacists, which seeks to be more discreet, but is nonetheless all too transparent.
one of them did and the dispatcher told him not to chase him himself. Recommend listening to true crime daily. 2 to 3 hours on this case. everyone at that police station and prosecutors were corrupt.

All of my life I’ve gone and looked inside new construction!!!! It’s A THING that NORMAL people do when they’re curious about the lay out, the construction and the dream of owning it!!!! When is that part going to come out????
So its lawful to place somebody you havnt seen doing anything wrong and havnt actually ever seen before if they jog by your house on the street? Also, am I hearing it right that theyre saying the guy that brought the gun used it in self defense because the guy he shot was going to kill him with the gun if he'd been able to get it? Thats wild but there will be no more unarmed victims if that shit works. Most unarmed people would take the gun from a person trying to shoot them with it if they can. This crap needs to end now. Its not illegal for a black man to pass through any neighborhood in this country. Its also none of the white residents business why hes passing through if hes not on their property. The fact they did not know him and hadnt witnessed any crime makes them murderers. Theres no way around it. If youre somebody who refuses to see this and thinks what went on there was in any way ok you probably need to do some introspective auditing on your own racist bullshit.
He got a life, a girl friend, a mother, a job, a diploma, jogging to improve his health. Shame on leaders who let this targeted behavior go on. WORLD IS WATCHING
Yeah but it’s a video. What if’s and’s is irrelevant. Mr Arbery’s murder is caught on tape so let justice reign favorably. Because I don’t think this court wants to fall in the hand of an angry God. #thoushaltnotkill #cainandabel
This is a tragedy. This is why civilians should call the police and report crime. Now if it's your home or life then it's a different story. Look at this now. A dead young man. A grieving family. And 3 men who have lost their lives as they knew it.
The police most likely would have done the same thing, shoot him! The mother revealed that the detective, LIED and said amaud committed the crime of burglary, in order to justify his death! So atleast for black people, calling the police can be a death sentence, EVEN IF YOU'RE THE BLACK PERSON CALLING THE POLICE FOR HELP! He was killed for no other reason, than being black by 3 racists that wanted to have a reason to kill a black man jogging where white people live and breath!
@@BeingKyleBusch18 He got shot because he lunged at the man holding the gun. Did you see the video? Did you know Arbery had a criminal record? It's documented. Did you know he wasn't out jogging?

“Citizens arrest” is BS. Nobody is going to let some civilian “arrest” them.
@Pleiadian in this case, I don’t know exactly what happened. None of us do do and never will. But what would you do if some asshole came up to you and said, “citizens arrest.” My response would be, “yeah, fuck you.”
Laws that are made for white people. When is the last time you seen a black person try to do a citizen’s arrest ? Exactly my point never
No, it's not BS. I've seen drunkards under Citizens arrest. Those Samaritans might have saved a loved one that day, if not several. However this citizens arrest is a facade in this case.
Citizens arrest is not Bs u can detain someone that's involved in a felony if u witness it. Not saying there's any bearing here but ur wrong u can most definitely detain someone
@Gerardo Dibbert Lets ignore that there is absolutely no evidence that he wasn’t actually jogging. I call BS on the idea that if you were totally innocent and armed men started chasing you while yelling death threats that you would say “I’ve done nothing wrong so I’ll stop and see what they want.” No, the more innocent you are, the more likely you are to be scared bc you would have no idea what the men wanted.
I'll never forget when they finally went to arrest Gregory and Travis, and you could tell that the cops we're almost physically hurting when they had to arrest them. I had made a phone call to the Glynn county Police department just the day before, I'm not ashamed to say I was harassing them. The next day they got arrested. I like to think I was part of the public outcry that finally got them arrested. I'm proud to say that.

Thank you, because you could have been hurt as well. People like this will hurt you in order to preserve themselves. Again, thank you.
As a result of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder last year, I stopped jogging in my neighborhood and signed up with Planet Fitness. I live in the Pennsylvania suburbs, and I used to jog every day like 5am before I started work. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on my reasons for joining the gym, you can’t argue with the fact that all it takes is one time for someone to think that it’s suspicious for me to be out jogging that early in the morning. Especially if I don’t respond (or comply) to them because I have my Apple earbuds in listening to music. If I’m shot dead, I don’t get to argue my point or proclaim my innocence. At least at the gym there are cameras and plenty of people who can bare witness that all I’m trying to do is workout. This is my reality.
The illusion of freedom
I take it you didn’t hear about the man shot and killed in his vehicle and in front of his daughter while they waited for his wife to come out the gym? In the words of DL Hughley, “The worst place for a black person in America is in the imagination of white people.” They gotta do better. Period.
Do you also trespass into buildings while "jogging"?
@@deevahlyshus: I missed that story. Nevertheless, I am fully aware that I could probably get into a car accident or slip on a banana peel on the way to the gym.

the father DID SHOOT from the cab of the truck!!
Ahmaud ran around the PASSENGER side of the vehicle to avoid an encounter, then the son ran to the front of the truck to meet him. Ahmaud was fighting to get the gun so he wouldn’t get shot. they chased him down WITH GUNS!

I share the exact sentiments. America is an unforgiving violent country with a questionable moral compass. Many parts of the world look at incidences like this in horror. However, in America there are many citizens who really don’t care because he might have a criminal past. So he deserves what’s coming to him. The guy can only be accused of trespassing. However, when he was executed, he was empty handed. You would think he was a murderer, rapist or terrorist. Thank God I live in Western Europe.
Understood, but in western Europe you also have child sex grooming gangs that when a concerned father tries to get his kid out of their hands calls the police and has the father arrested.

I see a trend starting between this and the Rittenhouse case: Commit murder and then claim self defense. Add a few tears…
That's the game they play and it seems to work for them. The justice system sucks in this country!!
Yes!!!!!!! And it works for them. I'm so FURIOUS, ANGRY, HURT. They kill us and get away with it. SHAME ON AMERICA.
Rittenhouse was proven self defense. Arbery's case is murder. The white guys were chasing Arbery down like those guys were chasing Rittenhouse. Arbery didn't have a chance to defend himself.
Completely different circumstances. You shouldnt lump them together. That's intellectually dishonest. The system worked for Rittenhouse ... Hopefully it does for Aubrey too.
Why isn't Arbery grabbing the gun considered self defense?
This young man is accosted by three large white men who are armed and he tries to get away and when he can't he tries to take away their weapon. Why isn't Arbery allowed to defend himself?
So you are not allowed to claim self defense if you are doing something wrong. If you are doing something illegal in the first place you are not allowed to claim self defense if you kill someone.
What we need to determine is if the actions in chasing down a random person while armed with a gun and detaining them with no evidence that they did anything is legal. If that is legal then what's to stop anyone from being held at gunpoint and then killed if they "resist" as in run or try to defend themselves?
Let's change things around. If you are white and find yourself running in a predominantly black neighborhood and you are chased down by armed men, are they in the right? Can we have the kind of vigilante rule that comes with the implications that what these men were doing was legal?
These men can call the police if they believe a crime is being committed (although the police are suspect here too but still) or they can document the scene but they shouldn't be allowed to chase down a person down and they certainly shouldn't be allowed to kill them. If that's legal then this country is going to Hell in a handbasket.
He can't "claim" anything because he's dead. simply put he can't offer a defense or his side of the story on how it was to him, and if the video didn't come out, there likely wouldn't have ever bee an arrest or a trial over it, these good ol' boys would have been taken at their word by their local government and law enforcement friends.
I'm white, I've lived in my neighborhood sine the 1980s and it's shifted quite a bit since I moved in. when I moved in it was most all white, in the early 2000s it was most all black, now it's well mixed, but I was stopped by police frequently and asked why I was in the neighborhood during the 2000s , and always searched for drugs.
It's not a bad neighborhood, I've lived in worse this has issues but it's quite mostly, which is why I stay here. But these biases exist, cops and people will wonder what a black man is doing in a white neighborhood, and my neighbors all knew me so that wasn't a problem, but the police didn't so they constantly stopped and searched me because I'm a white dude in a black neighborhood, and automatically suspected of being there to buy drugs, it's the only thing they every looked for, drugs or significant sums of cash.
"what are you doing here? this neighborhood is dangerous for you?"
Me: Ummmm.... I LIVE here.....
"are you holding?"
Me: Holding what????
" you're detained at the moment, Let me see your ID".... oh.... you do live here.... got any drugs on you guns knives and grenades missiles or large sums of cash? Turn around so I can search you for my safety"........
It is what it is my friend, anyone that says these things don't happen doesn't live in the real world.
Detain every republican for being a national security threat, and then when they try to leave, _use lethal force_
Because George Zimmerman got away with it and therefore they're all trying to use this as their excuse. Remember the boy was walking down the street and this man chased him after being told not to. Then claimed self defense! So that's gonna be their regular "go to" now
It IS being considered self defense, it’s just these weirdo right wing/white supremacist NUT JOB who think differently

The later is the case of self-defense.
This was out right murder.
Exactly!!! You obstruct MY path while holding a shotgun and YOU claim 'self-defense'!?? FOH.
Self defense is when someone is coming at you with the intent to threaten/harm you. They were doing the pursuing . This is so obvious who is the attackers and who is the victim.
The new thing in America ( or perhaps it has always been like this) is to go look for trouble create it or find. Then immediately call yourself the victim
Sounds a bit like the Travon Martin murder, huh?

I’m the wife of a contractor. Contractors stop at construction sites all the time( interest, excitement, see how it’s being constructed, knowledge, see who the trades or sub trades are). My husband drives around to look at site all the time. Sometimes no one is working and sometimes they are. Sometimes the trade people working will ask him for a referral for heating/cooling contractors, kitchen companies, cabinet makers, plumbers, electrical contractors,flooring, drywallers,painters.They help each other out. With the shortage on trades people in the construction industry it’s exciting to see a young person interested. It should not be a risk to your life or a death sentence.
thank you for writing that
(we do it to bc "interest ... how it's being constructed ..." - but then only poke in during usual workday when we know a specific trade are engaged that we need help with personally)
My family did this often. My crazy parents had a new house every 18 months, always shopping for a more clever idea.

Trump is just a symbol of the ignorance in your education system. It’s as though ignorance grows like a tumour in your country. To understand how you became the world’s super-power is baffling and disturbing. That beautiful young man, and the loss to his family, because of the colour of his skin - only - in this day and age. Shocking, yet not so shocking, at what I have seen the United States become, and the cancer it has turned into under Trump.

Exactly … infuriating
If I had guys with guns chasing me down the street in a truck, I'd be wanting to get as far away as possible. The testimony I heard from those people sounded like they were doing a reshoot of Hard Target but without the happy ending.
They seemed to be painting a picture of a caught-in-the-act criminal fleeing the scene of a crime, not that they were simply hunting down a man who committed the heinous crime of being black while jogging.
That one of them was brandishing a shotgun at him and he tried to grab for it says to me he didn't want to die. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd figure if someone looked like they were about to kill me, I'd try to make it hard for them if I could; if that meant grabbing for the gun and doing something to make it inoperable, I'd probably try. (Bending it round my assailant's head so he loses interest is acceptable. Killing him is *absolutely* not.)
Then again, I'm white, not a jogger and don't live in good-ol'-boy country, so this kind of thing is highly unlikely to ever be a problem for me. At that, I don't feel too safe only living 3000 miles away, so there ya go.
In the end, it's a pointless killing of a man by people wholly unqualified to do what they were doing. People who now seem to be playing the victim card, as if the family aren't suffering enough already.
Well said. You are SO right! Their story amounts to arguments made up by their lawyers after the fact,, but these killers never meant to do a citizen’s arrest or whatever, there were bored of an afternoon and imagined it would be fun to go shooting some black guy passing by...

@@myriamickx7969 I can't speak to what Arbery was thinking when he confronted
McMichaels and tried to wrest the rifle from him. And neither can anyone else.
Similarly, you have no basis to claim the McMichaels wanted to kill Arbery, not
detain him. What evidence do you have to back up your claim?
In fact, looking at it objectively, the opposite appears to be true. If the
McMichaels wanted to shoot Arbery, they could had easily done so before Arbery reached the truck. And it would have been a lot less risky for them to shoot Arbery from a safe distance rather than wait until he was close enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat over the rifle. They also passed up an easy opportunity to shoot Arbery
when they sped past him to set up their roadblack. Because they were right next
to him.

None of those people who stole from the house were black. This was a rampant problem in New Houston area communities. Investigators even discovered homeowners were stealing sod off of New home sites. None of those who stole would be considered so called thugs. They were home owners who were stealing because they found it easier to steal what they needed than to purchase it. None of those thieves were murdered for actually stealing in an open carry state where there are laws to protect citizens who see such crimes and take action.

My heart goes to this woman. ♥️
@@wilywascal2024 he clearly said what do you mean he was lied on he didn’t say can you give me some background on that, 🤦🏾♂️ stop trying speak up for people who clearly said something and they know what they said
It seems you misunderstood. It was asked to elicit the details from the mother. It wasn't that the reporter didn't know what she meant or what that detailed, it was just a question designed to provide her the opportunity for her tell her story in her own words. That is what a good reporter (or good communicator) does. Also, it was important that she tell her story, because she was witness to what the police had told her, and she is the one making the accusation that their story changed.
Moreover, it is typical in interviews like this that a producer, reporter, or staff goes over the information that will be provided by the interviewee before taping. Thus, the question wasn't being asked to inform the reporter, but rather to inform the audience, and it wasn't necessarily to define the phrase "he was lied on" for viewers so much as to inform them of the specifics of that allegation, of that to which she was referring.
As you observed, anyone could easily understand the phrase to mean a falsehood told meant to impugn a person's reputation. But here the falsehood told by the police was also meant to justify or rationalize her son's shooting, to cover for the perpetrators who chased him down and caused his death, to falsely and unjustly portray Ahmaud as the criminal instead of the victim. Hope this explanation helps make sense of things!
@@korReeS2 ~ Couldn't really have explained it any clearer or better. The question asked by the reporter is not in dispute. But it seems it was misinterpreted to mean the reporter didn't know what the phrase meant, which is an unreasonable assumption to make. No, the reporter didn't spell out he was looking for background, because he didn't have to; that was implied in the question. The reporter is merely providing an opening for the mother to tell her story.
These types of questions are asked by reporters all the time, they really are not that unusual. In fact, it's typical for reporters to ask a question where the answer is already known. It is done to get people on the record, to provide a first-hand account, and to allow an opportunity for people to expound upon the answer.
Either some people are misunderstanding the question by taking it too literally, or they are looking for fault where none exists because they have an agenda to discredit CNN. I assume the best in people until proven otherwise, therefore my presumption for this comment and your reply is that it's just a simple misunderstanding.
So, I ask you to have an open mind and consider the following. The phrase used is self-explanatory; do you really think that a reporter who has been around and has a good education didn't understand the phrase? How could he not? Is it not far more likely that the innocuous reason I explained is the reason? Having watched this reporter for some time, I know that he is a good reporter with a sharp mind; he didn't fall off the hay wagon yesterday.
It's a reporter's job to clarify anything that isn't 100% clear and could be misinterpreted. Especially when someone is talking with a regional accent and using colloquialisms. We now live in a global society where someone from Denmark could be watching this news report. Bottom line, better to ask the question than possibly be misunderstood.
The trap like a rat is not as important as the fact that Ahmaud was still alive when the police arrived it almost looks like he was trying to sit up.but you can hear him gasping for air and they are not doing anything to help him. Crump if you guys can help take on this case do.The truth must come to light I became so ill listening to this I plead the blood of Jesus over this family and the trial. Sickening 🙏😇🩸❤️
Well put and said Janet
Wow!!! I thought he was dead on the scene that's fvcking disgusting!!! Makes the case so much worst than what it was!!!
That was a death rattle dude… he wasn’t going to live
Ahmad 's mother is so brave and courageous! She is a beautiful woman and I praise her tenacity for justice in her sons lynching and murder! I hope that the family will get some peace now that these monsters are behind bars! Praise God for justice for Ahmah!
He changed his story because he didn't want to lie under oath.
Or she's lying. I mean she doesn't seem that upset that her son is dead must be looking for a big payout
@The Real American Patriot! Just stating the obvious
@@AmericanPatriot5 Good lord, please stop. Her son has been dead for almost 2 years. In that time she’s also done dozens of interviews with media, police, activists, and lawyers regarding the case. It is very natural to be able to eventually overcome emotions in public going through that situation.
@The Real American Patriot! Brian Jones is a troll, just a dumb troll.
@@hpflix Lol she's just counting the days until she can launch a lawsuit
Why was there even a gun in the first place?
Exactly.
Because demotards have demonized police doing their jobs... so hardworking, tax paying Americans have been forced to uphold the law ourselves.
@@shlepmessing8703 Shut it, troll.
@@shlepmessing8703 The father thought because he was ex law enforcement he had the right to kill at will. Law enforcement officials covered it up. If William Roddy Bryant didn't post the video for his fellow good ole racist boys to watch and it got shared those waste of sperm and the whole rotten 🍑 force of cops and court officials would have walked away Scott free! They must have never heard what you do in the dark will come out in the light.
Never heard of anyone taking a weapon to initiate a citizen's arrest. there was no "probable cause" for anyone to have chased Arbery. they didn't waste no time throwing the black policeman behind bars that killed those two white drug dealers. He didn't even get a trial. He was arrested and sent to prison for 20 years for ridding the world of trash and debris.
Just because it's your neighborhood doesn't give you the right to harass a nonresident who's simply jogging through. It was not a gated community.
Citizens arrest is not taking a gun to kill someone then claim “oh we were conducting citizens arrest” give me a break.
I admire his mom she keeps, her poise and I'm sure we're around the same age, They chased him down like an animal! Because they judge him and the color of his skin, May God give his family strength.
A mother who raised a criminal son, you admire that?
@@SuperUsernamehere So you personally know Ahmaud Arbery's mother and have a magical book that gives you all the details on how she raised him and his upbringing as a youth? For the record, a person can have great parents and a great upbringing but still end up having run-ins with the law as an adult, it happens more often than you think. Also for the record, Arbery's past is irrelevant because he is not the one on trial here, your "heroic" trio are.
Speaking of "criminals", it's interesting how you, and others like you, are nowhere to be speaking out against the rampant corruption is all levels of law enforcement, which once again reared it's ugly head when the police officers, detectives and the DA that was involved in this case tried their best to cover it up.
@@inugamix922 I agree with you totally!! Whenever the defense is on trail especially, when the victim is an African American- Always calling the victim a criminal.
@@SuperUsernamehere She did not raise a criminal. -_-
They had no right to murder Arbery , they were acting like it was the slavery days when they hunt black peoples. Evil devils need to Rot in prison 😖
They all need to get 25 years to life in prison for this premeditated murder.
Let's just make it life with no parole!!! Low life
CREEPY RACISTS THUGS such as these don't deserve to walk free in society ever again!!!
@@evatripp7788 The two old guys will die in prison. The son will be too old to do anything with his life after he gets out and will die alone and hungry. He won't know what to do with himself at 75 when he gets out. Instead of having 3 square meals and a daily routine he can count on, he'll have to beg for food when they let him out.
It is clear that this case has nothing to do with vigilantism.
To see this, one only needs to acknowledge the following:
* Ahmaud Arbery was unarmed.
* We have only the word of the defendants with regard to details that do not appear on video.
* Even if Ahmaud Arbery was trespassing at the time, this minor offense does not indicate the use of deadly force by citizens or law enforcement.
* Even if Ahmaud Arbery had been engaged in burglary, the legal remedy is arrest and trial, not death.
* Even if Ahmaud Arbery had been engaged in an attempt to forcibly obtain a firearm from one of the defendants, this would do nothing to alter the fact that he had not been previously armed.
So, it is the responsibility of the defendants to demonstrate why this case should not be viewed as one in which it was actually Arbery who reasonably feared for his life, and so made a last ditch effort to protect himself. There is no good reason to think otherwise in this case.
It should be obvious to any thinking, feeling person that Ahmaud Arbery was stalked and murdered by racially motivated violent criminals.
Wowww ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html
I hope these guys get off they've already been through a lot.
@@AmericanPatriot5 😂😂😂😭 So let me get this straight. 3 guys chase Kyle rittenhouse, threatening to kill him and assaulting him. Kyle kills them (rightfully so as it seems so far) and you call it self defense. 3 guys chase Ahmaud Arbery, threatening to kill him and assaulting him and when he fights for his life the guys that chased, threatened and assaulted him actually KILL HIM and are suddenly the ones acting in self defense? How does this make sense to you?
@@noface6452 I said they been through a lot, I didn't say they were right or wrong.
@@AmericanPatriot5 “they been through a lot”??? They PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH EVERYTHING THEYVE “been through” you weirdo. They haven’t “been through” enough yet. I really hope you have to endure the pain Ahmaud’s mother has to endure one day... Only to have some nut job show more empathy for the person(s) that murdered your loved one smfh. You people are disgusting.
This is disgusting lying to a mother over how her son was killed and for what??
These individuals will not be able to lie their way out anything when they meet their maker.
I have been to many houses under construction just to look what homeowners doing in design of that house? Curious thats all. I ain't never been chased or shot for doing so! Neighbors could have called police, but because iam white female never happened? To bad he wasn't white female he be alive right now 🤨
@Maddy Malhotra Are you Indian?
Same here
Trespasser
Sorry you don’t look in a house trespassing
Ahmaud Arbery Jelani Day and other cases of African Americans did not receive the same coverage as Gabby Petito case from the media.
Or even the rittenhouse case!
That part
@Lisa Stettin If hadn't been for his mother it wouldn't gotten any attention from the media or law enforcement they was trying to cover it up from the very day it happened
It seems quite clear that Arbery was acting in self defense, that he feared for his life. Funny how Reich-wingers overwhelmingly want these three white men found innocent for the killing of Arbery, claiming self-defense for them, but not for Arbery, who had committed no crime and there being no justification for any citizen's arrest. They also overwhelmingly want Rittenhouse to be found innocent on the basis of self-defense, despite the fact he was acting criminally by being in Kenosha after curfew and a minor illegally carrying an assault rifle, and who was an active shooter when fleeing the scene of the crime after he shot the first person. With Reich-wingers, it's all about the racism and vigilantism, being able to inflict violence upon others without consequence, obtaining the same kind of screwed up qualified immunity given to police using the excuse of self-defense. It's the modern-day version of KKK tactics used by the current crop of white supremacists, which seeks to be more discreet, but is nonetheless all too transparent.
How about calling the police, if the guy was breaking the law. Don’t chase people with guns and put people and yourself in danger.
one of them did and the dispatcher told him not to chase him himself. Recommend listening to true crime daily. 2 to 3 hours on this case. everyone at that police station and prosecutors were corrupt.
Don't break the law, don't be sus. The most important civil right is the right to live in a safe community
@@AmericanPatriot5 stop taking the law into your own hands. You are not police let them do their job. Is that not common sense?
@@kind2423 it's called community policing
@@AmericanPatriot5 Shut it, troll.
Correct me if I'm Wrong. But isn't it illegal to shoot unarmed people in the street?
Ask Kyle Rittenhouse.
Monsters. I'm grown now though. I'm not afraid of monsters anymore.
I got a funny feeling that this is going to end in a bad way. I pray that the jurors do the right thing.
I don’t see that you have much to worry about. This is pretty open and shut
@stopthecrazyguy are you serious? I know you think all what people are racist but there is virtually no examples of white jurors letting someone off like this. Atleast not in anywhere except California
@@joeylane2408 I would really like things to otherwise. Start with the cover up first. Law enforcement started to conceal what had happened. The victim was the accused. None of this would have unfolded had the video not been leaked. So, yes, people have apprehensions you should understand.
@@sismeo1 as I said I just don’t know of any examples since the Rodney king trial of a jury letting off someone that was obviously guilty. Had to convince 12 random people to just go against something that’s obvious
@@sismeo1 I think 99% of the time a jury does the right thing
Since when is running suspicious? That town need runners start on that street en mass every year so it's never forgotten.
They should have a marathon annually where they give these 3 overweight racist thugs a minute headstart & then the whole town chases them down carrying guns ( but no shooting or fighting) & name it after aubrey. It would be good for these idiots health both physical & mental because physical exercise helps the brain as well as the body & it might make these racists jerks have a taste of what they put aubrey through!!!

Running away from a house you just were at, yeah, thats suspicious.
@@SuperUsernamehere lay down!!!!!!
That Sgt and the detective who told the mother that about their son should of been fired without pension a long time ago.
Chased while jogging, unbelievable.
also it werent even dogs doing the chasing.....or ....were they
All of my life I’ve gone and looked inside new construction!!!!
It’s A THING that NORMAL people do when they’re curious about the lay out, the construction and the dream of owning it!!!!
When is that part going to come out????
So its lawful to place somebody you havnt seen doing anything wrong and havnt actually ever seen before if they jog by your house on the street? Also, am I hearing it right that theyre saying the guy that brought the gun used it in self defense because the guy he shot was going to kill him with the gun if he'd been able to get it? Thats wild but there will be no more unarmed victims if that shit works. Most unarmed people would take the gun from a person trying to shoot them with it if they can.
This crap needs to end now. Its not illegal for a black man to pass through any neighborhood in this country. Its also none of the white residents business why hes passing through if hes not on their property.
The fact they did not know him and hadnt witnessed any crime makes them murderers. Theres no way around it. If youre somebody who refuses to see this and thinks what went on there was in any way ok you probably need to do some introspective auditing on your own racist bullshit.
He got a life, a girl friend, a mother, a job, a diploma, jogging to improve his health. Shame on leaders who let this targeted behavior go on. WORLD IS WATCHING
Put it this way. If this video if the act being committed ...There would be no trial at all.
Yeah but it’s a video. What if’s and’s is irrelevant. Mr Arbery’s murder is caught on tape so let justice reign favorably. Because I don’t think this court wants to fall in the hand of an angry God. #thoushaltnotkill #cainandabel
@@katherinemcconico982 Who is Mr. Berry?
@@shlepmessing8703 correction* Mr. Arbery
How do you break into a house with no doors or windows.
This is a tragedy. This is why civilians should call the police and report crime. Now if it's your home or life then it's a different story. Look at this now. A dead young man. A grieving family. And 3 men who have lost their lives as they knew it.
Lol isn't it the left that wants to get rid of the police, this is what that is going to look like
The police most likely would have done the same thing, shoot him! The mother revealed that the detective, LIED and said amaud committed the crime of burglary, in order to justify his death!
So atleast for black people, calling the police can be a death sentence, EVEN IF YOU'RE THE BLACK PERSON CALLING THE POLICE FOR HELP!
He was killed for no other reason, than being black by 3 racists that wanted to have a reason to kill a black man jogging where white people live and breath!
@@BeingKyleBusch18 He got shot because he lunged at the man holding the gun. Did you see the video? Did you know Arbery had a criminal record? It's documented. Did you know he wasn't out jogging?
@@shlepmessing8703 there should never have been a gun pointed at him in the first place. Since when has it been legal to hold another at gunpoint on suspension?
Or you could stay out of other people's property and construction sites
