They did call the cops. Then jumped in their truck to apprehend him.


What right did they have to apprehend him? Are you seriously excusing these redneck pieces of garbage?


The state of Georgia permits citizens’ arrests. NP.


They had no basis for a citizens’ arrest: https://thedispatch.com/p/a-vigilante-killing-in-georgia

Now let's hope they are convicted.

It could go the George Zimmerman way.


Its because of George getting off scott-free that sh*t like this is happening.

That's the difference between police ignoring the case and arresting the culprits in less than 48 hours.




Shaun Kong’s activism is fine. Just don’t give him any money.


Being a civil rights activist or 'independent' investigative journalist 24/7 does not pay the bills. Neither does podcasting. Ask me how I know.

I absolutely do not agree with even the possibility of him 'stealing' from the funds he raised. But I wouldn't be against him starting a Patreon or something to fund his activities.

For all those debating the merits of jogging in cargo pants -- how about you debate the merits of the local police not arresting MURDERERS for 3 months?

Why did it take a video releasing on social media in May for Georgia police to act? Ahmaud Arbery was shot on February 23rd.

Where are you guys getting the "boots" part? I saw the video, he appeared to be wearing sneakers. His calves/ankles looked exposed and thin (not bulky like when you wear boots).

I've definitely seen people running in cargos, although I would never do it myself. Hell, I've seen dudes on the trail jogging in jeans. Ick.

They finally arrested the father-and-son who murdered an innocent man in broad daylight.

Citizens law arrest in GA states that you can only do so if you've actually witnessed a crime. Not bc someone looks like burglar suspect or seems suspicious.

The 3rd idiot in the lynch mob.


How did the video get out?


He gave it up to prove he was not part of the murder.

Also- per the NYT he was " was wearing a white T-shirt, khaki shorts, Nike sneakers and a bandanna when he was killed, had been out exercising."

Did you watch the video? He is not wearing BOOTS. Higher top sneakers maybe? But they are white shoes.



Thank you. PP who is derailing this thread to ask about the boots as if that mattered is totally incorrect but nattering on about how the details matter!
