Angry Goose Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I don't post news threads at all,but I had to share this. I am absolutely &^@#ing pissed off right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized27 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Disgusting...and that's before you find out the assailants are a former police officer and his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 "We thought he was a local robber" Well then call the god damn cops and let them deal with it. Don't grab your guns and go after the guy, even if your a former police officer, you know that is just going to end badly and stupidly. My god how bloody stupid are some americans...... Hope this father/son duo gets whatever the max sentence is, what they did was inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I posted this story in another thread, but that was before the video came out. The "self defense" angle looks like a much tougher sell...but we are talking about Georgia here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Georgia police will do an internal audit and find Barney Fife did everything right. They will also invoice the innocent jogger the cost of the bullets. Edited May 7, 2020 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Warhippy Posted May 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2020 They chased him. They stalked him. Multiple vehicles. Multiple arms drawn Recorded it Murdered him. Were literally released hours later. When people cry about a left vs right divide and then make fun of a guy for kneeling on a ball field, this is what they miss. This is why he knelt, this is where the real divide is. You have dozens if not hundreds of armed caucasians storming a state capital with arms drawn and the police say just do it peacefully. But you have an african american jogger stalked and murdered and the assailants go free and are called "alleged suspects" while it is on video for everyone to see. America deserves everything that is happening to it. From covid to trump to the upcoming civil war 1 2 3 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 They followed him and confronted him with guns... because they thought he was a robbery suspect... There is nothing that says self defense here from their own words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Should be" and what will actually happen unfortunately are two different things. I'd be surprised if they get "convicted" of anything worse than a Misdemeanor. They'll just get "fired" (for purely PR reasons) and end up transfering to another city/police department. Makes the job of most of the *truly professional police force* alot harder as they get tarnished with the same brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 None of the three men involved in this murder are cops; one used to be an investigator for the local DA but that's it. These three private citizens decided they didn't like how Aubrey looked, hunted him down and murdered him. They should all spend the rest of their lives in prison and the fact that they're free now is a testament to how easy it is for a white man to murder a black person and get away with it in the states.

In their defense it’s Georgia that we are talking about, things are little slower down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo it will be shocking if they aren't at least charged with second degree murder. 14 minutes ago, RUPERTKBD said: My understanding is that the father is a former cop. The son isn't one at all..... That's totally irrelevant. There is no self defense here. They went out and targeted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about 2nd degree murder. 1st degree murder involves a degree of premeditation that could be hard to prove here. 2nd degree, I would assume, should be open and shut. Punishment doesn't need to vary much between 1st and 2nd degree murder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is bad but Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia are Deep South. Although things like this could happen in any other state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
