    Theses mother fuckers need to be in jail now while they wait for the Grand Jury Indictment. The other way around, black shooters would be in jail. Arrest these guys now

    Somewhere, yankee is still waiting for the full story before passing judgement.

    Apologies mags,even though I think this was clearly racially motivated from the start, I was attributing your post to a different piece than you intended.

    You got that with me saying “this” to “not everything is racially motivated?”

    Did you not see my recent posts?

    I think he was responding to your first post in the thread. Perhaps, he missed the 2nd one

    Oh hell no. I need to do the “this” and bold it next time. Probably my mistake as well. I guess it would assume I agreed with the entire statement. My bad as well.

    Just now saw the video and just now saw your smart assed remark. Yes, the video is very compelling and it points to evidence that these guys showed very poor judgment and charges will very likely be levied. The biggest issue/question is even if they just wanted to "talk" to the kid as the initial article stated, why did they feel the need to take weapons with them, because if they hadn't, things would not have ended so horribly.
    We have a justice system in this country for a reason. But forgive me for not joining the mob and making snap judgments before knowing more about the facts...things are not always as they first appear and I also stand by my statement that "not everything is racially motivated".

    If this still does not explain my position well enough for you, I really could care less.

    You question why they took weapons with when you already stated that you do the same when following people?

    Its couldn't care less, by the way

    Yeah, I know what I said...I take a side arm with me sometimes...said nothing about loading up others in the back of my truck with shotguns.

    And actually I could care less, because I do care to a degree.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Sure, not everything is racially motivated. This definitely seemed to be from the facts available at the start of this thread and still seems to be. If you think they would have grabbed shotguns and chased down a white jogger, I think you're naive about racial issues.

    And if anyone wants to claim the dad shot this guy in self defense, the son got out and pointed a shotgun at the guy. If someone you don't know is yelling stop we want to talk to you (especially if its white dudes and your black in the south), and is not the cops or someone you know, and pulls over in front of you and gets out and accosts you with a shotgun, you run or you fight for your life. He chose to fight for his life, and was killed doing so.

    They also pulled up ahead of the jogger on the road and stopped their truck in order to somewhat block him. They chased him down, blocked him off and then think they acted in self defense? That was cold blooded murder.

    hard to tell for sure but I think he tried running at firs.t I think he saw them and veered right to go around the truck, but they caught him on the front side. Seems if he was going to fight, we would have kept going to the left at the drivers side and at the driver.
    I think he did what most anyone would do. Tried to get away, not knowing what the hell is going on and before he even knew it, was in a grappling match for his life. Plus, he probably new that if he ran, he would be dead for sure with a shot to the back.

    Yep, they were there to kill a black man that was in their White neighborhood. The evidence is overwhelming.

    Sounds like the usual southern “white s’plaining“........or at least what us old timers have grown used to hearing over our lifetimes every time an incident like this occurs down there.......amongst other places. So I guess I’ll have to apologize for singling out the south. Force of habit I guess.....

    I think it is common and perhaps a natural instinct to move to the right side of the road when there is traffic and one is on foot...to stay with traffic and to get to the side of the road/sidewalk. If you move to the left of the vehicle, you risk getting hit by it.

    I don't doubt they would have shot him had he ran. They may have said as much, causing him to choose to fight for his life...though that is conjecture.
