- This shit happened in February.

- It's only just getting put to a the next Grand Jury because of the video surfacing.

- One of the guys is an ex-cop.

- Even the ex-cop's version of events would put him in the wrong.

"Gregory McMichael told police he saw the same man "the other night" and that he stuck his hand down his pants on that occasion, leading McMichael to believe he was armed, according to a Glynn County Police report.

After seeing Arbery jogging, McMichael then alerted Travis, 34, according to the police report.

"Travis, the guy is running down the street, let's go," McMichael said, according to the report.

The two grabbed a shotgun and a pistol and followed Arbery in their truck, police said. Travis McMichael, the driver, followed Arbery and then attempted to cut him off, the report said. Arbery turned around and began running in the opposite direction, the police report said.

They chased Arbery to a nearby intersection, where they caught up to him, the report said.

"Stop, stop, we want to talk to you," Gregory McMichael shouted at Arbery, according to the police report.

Travis McMichael then exited truck with the shotgun, the police report said. His father told officers Arbery "violently attacked" his son, the report said, and they struggled over the gun. Travis McMichael fired two shots, the report said, and Arbery fell.

The tides coming in, hurry up dude.

Tide got him but he’s ok.

His best bud just showed up to help him.

Tide is really coming in now, he’s on the phone. Things are getting frantic.

Will she arrive in time? We’re gonna give him a round of applause if she says yes and arrives.

The Black Panthers advocated for the armed self-defense of black communities. I know we worry about owning firearms because we don’t want to give certain people anymore reasons to harass us, but there’s too many examples that show being unarmed doesn’t make us any safer.

I honestly believe that legally owning a gun and ensuring you and your family are well-practiced in its use are potentially life-saving ideas. Because if shit hits the fan, I don’t want the only civilians with firearms to be the white supremacists who shoot us for jogging and other mundane shit.

Here's a link to the video. He was driving, the cops showed up, you don't see what's happening for a bit, then he's clearly running away and the police see fit to murder him. This shit is inexcusable.

Wtf?!

My nephew likes to play McDonald's, which is what you'd expect it to be. He says, "Welcome to McDonald's. How may I help you?" After you order, he says, "Okay, coming right up," and pretends to give you your food. He has another game called "Silly McDonald's," which is the same thing, except no matter what you order, he says, "Here's your cold hamburger."

I know I'm biased, but he's a comedic genius, as far as I'm concerned.

The last time I saw him, he said, "Let's play McDonald's," so I assumed it was regular McDonald's. But then he hit me with a cold hamburger. It was Silly McDonald's the whole time. I got played.

don’t forget to include important parts about this event when you share this around, when you talk about this, when you remember this. 

ahmaud arbery was murdered in february. it’s now may.

they investigated the white men’s claim that arbery was suspected to have robbed a convenience store before investigating arbery’s death.

no further investigations. no arrests. no convictions. for months.

read that again. and again. and again. and be angry.

RIP Ahmaud Arbery
