Jogger Chased and Shot

[Anonymous]

I have no words.
How do you chase a man minding his business and just shoot him dead in the street and there is video but you need a grand jury to decide if you need to arrest these demons.

It's being discussed in this thread but no reason to think the OP hasn't already heard about it:

You know what… It’s OK for there to be more than one. But it’s good to link to that as well. The more places people see this the better. That man was hunted and it’s horrific that is was so suppressed.

Disgusting. Original prosecutor must be a Klan member or okay with lynching. He looked like a criminal that had been breaking into places. Right. You mean he was a black dude running. Any black dude running has got to be up to sumpin’!

Was talking about this just the other day. My husband just took up jogging in the mornings, and we've both questioned whether this is safe for him to do.

Stop. Just stop. Of course it's safe for your husband to jog. I'm a black man living in a mostly white neighborhood and this wouldn't deter me from jogging at all. It's a horrible story and I hope they finally arrest the racists but I don't see this as a general threat to black male joggers like me.

This whole thing makes me absolutely ill. I watched the video. These white supremacist pieces of garbage are claiming they thought he was a robber running away from the crime scene - you can see in the video he is clearly jogging, in light colored clothing, going in a leisurely pace.

I can't believe they weren't arrested. This man's mother was told he was killed during a robbery. It is a blatant lie, yet these men are still not under arrest. Tell me again how racism is over because we had a black president.

This case deserves its own thread and I think/hope Jeff would agree. It's not ok!

That’s your opinion, you do you.

Interesting how nothing happened until the video surfaced. The killers are being protected.
