It’s beyond awful. Inhumane.

Why does he jog at night? It's just not safe, in general, to run at night -- plus mosquitos.

Look at it this way-no matter whether you are white or black or a man or a woman and no matter what religion you practice and in every state in this country do you think it's ok for a people to get into a truck with guns, follow someone they don't know and who has committed no crime and has no relation to the perps and shoot them?

We're a bi-racial couple in a 99% white/Asian community and everyone loves us. We wave to everyone and we always pick up and throw away street litter we come across.

So since you've had a positive experience in your neighborhood, it means everyone else is a-ok in theirs?

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.

So great that this has worked well for you so far! But unless you're somehow positive that this would work out well for any and every black man in any and every mostly white neighborhood in the US, you might want to Stop yourself. And this, of course, says nothing about how a Black Man Running might go over in some of the neighborhoods that are completely white by choice versus the "mostly white" ones where you run.

I really am glad that your experiences have been safe ones. That's not the universal experience though. You know that, right? Right?

Yay for you, I guess??

It's Georgia, the killers are white and have LEO connections.

And it's south Georgia, and the killers are Kemp supporters and the older one is a former LEO. The guy was jogging and doing nothing. Unless this gets national attention, nothing will happen during this time.

My friends in Georgia are sad and livid this is still allowed to go on.

Connections? They ARE LEOs! Former LEO in any case.

Sad that people here are trying to make this seem like it was white on black. It was blue on black.

PP here and I agree! Thank god for the video or it's possible this would have all be buried down south.

It would be buried around here too. Don’t act like not being in the south means we don’t all live in a country founded in white supremacy and still rooted in white supremacy.

This is absolutely disgusting. It’s murder, and those men deserve to rot in jail and then Hell.

That's good for you. By why do you feel like you get to tell me how to feel about it? I don't live where you live. These jokers got away with this. The law is protecting behavior like this all over the country. I'm allowed to be scared.
