Slap on the wrist fine and probation tops.I know. But I am hoping maybe they catch some kind of charge. This video was hard to watch and is very sad. I’m just tired of this shit.

Family hired Benjamin Crump; have they not seen his track record?
I made it a point to stay my black ass away from middle and South GA.
Put in ya own work and you wouldn't have to wait for anyone else to do it. Much less, supposed "goons".
A nigga who calls himself cumstain can't tell me shit about puttin in work.
We still have this injustice that has not been resolved, you are going to have to stay on top of this in order to get justice for him. The co-conspirators could be the prosecutor, the governor, and the police that may have participated in this murder. The governor Nikki Haley should have been questioned about her role in this mass shooting. Instead they sent her to the United Nations to represent us, how sick. Don't you find it bizarre that Dylan Roof was posing with a confederate flag in all his pictures that he left online and she was the one to take down the flag on state property?
Then under Pres. Obama's administration, he tried to perform a similar deranged strategy and to provide racial cover for what went down. These sick fucks (Pres. Obama and Gov. Nikki Haley) were making a mockery of us and not being progressive on issues such as the Confederate flag and having Harriet Tubman put on the $20 bill.
I'm trying to figure out the mentally ill logic that you guys are trying to perform with these heinous crimes. What is it that you are trying to fix in your mind? I have a couple of theories...
You seem upset.
Nope cacs already saying he attacked the man with a gun

Calls for arrests grow in shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery 03:33
(CNN)Supporters will gather virtually Friday to mourn Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was fatally shot while jogging in February, by putting on their sneakers and posting on social media to say #IRunWithMaud.
Arbery, 25, was jogging in a neighborhood outside Brunswick, Georgia, on February 23 when he was chased down by a former police officer and his son who were armed, authorities said. Arbery was shot after struggling with the son over his shotgun, according to a Glynn County Police report. The former officer later told officers that he thought Arbery looked like a suspect in a series of nearby break-ins, the report said.
Jason Vaughn was Arbery's high school football coach. Now, he is asking supporters to honor Arbery by going for a run of 2.23 miles, representing the date of his death on Friday, which would have been his birthday. He asks that runners document their run and post it to social media under the hashtag #IRunWithMaud.

"With Covid-19 of course, we can't have a demonstration where we all come together," Vaughn said, adding that this demonstration is the best way to unite in his honor. "Any runner can identify with Maud, a guy who may have had a bad day, but he can go out there and hit the pavement and go jog."
The last time Vaughn saw Arbery was when they crossed paths while on a run. Vaughn said he wanted to catch up to Arbery and joke around with him, but Arbery pushed himself hard and he couldn't reach him.
"I'm going to keep going just like he was going last time I saw him," Vaughn said.
'We will do justice'
Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper told CNN on Sunday that she never worried about her son going out jogging because she said he wasn't bothering anyone.
On February 23, Gregory McMichael and his son Travis chased Arbery down, McMichael told police. Travis and Arbery struggled over Travis' shotgun, and two shots were fired before Arbery fell to the street, according to a Glynn County Police report.
McMichael later told officers he though Arbery looked like a person suspected in a recent series of break-ins, the report said.
CNN's attempts to reach the McMichaels were unsuccessful.

Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney Tom Durden formally requested Tuesday night that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation investigate Arbery's death.
"Our goal in every investigation is to seek the truth, and that's exactly what we intend on doing in this matter," GBI Director Vic Reynolds said in a video statement Wednesday. "This investigation must be done correctly, and therefore I must ask for a little of your patience. I'm confident that we will do justice in this matter."
While authorities investigate, public figures are calling out the injustice they see in the case.
NBA superstar LeBron James tweeted his support of Arbery Wednesday night.
"We're literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes!" James tweeted. "I'm sorry Ahmaud(Rest In Paradise) and my prayers and blessings sent to the..... heavens above to your family!!"
Speaking to MSNBC Wednesday, Georgia politician Stacey Abrams said that she supports an immediate investigation.

"It looks like vigilante behavior that should be charged and criminalized. And it looks like the Arbery family has been dealt a very sore hand of injustice," Abrams said.
Durden wrote in a news release obtained by CNN on Tuesday that he expects to present the case to the next available grand jury in Glynn County to consider whether charges are merited for those involved in Arbery's death.
CNN's Angela Barajas, Amir Vera and Steve Almasy contributed to this report.

One of the guys is an ex-cop, which is the real reason the attorney General is bending over backwards to call this justifiedI'm trying to understand who filmed this.
How can officials not charge them with murder?
Agreed, a better option would be to wait for and murder white people jogging.
I would have shot them both. No way I’m jogging in Rural Georgia without the strap.And you would too if you saw people waiting for your with a gun pointed at you.
because blacks are pussy. Niggas are only good for killing blacks.How can these two devils go untouched in a city that's 55% Black and only 30.5% CAC?
Maybe he didn't attack him at all... Looks like hewas running around the truck trying to keep on straight and they pulled him in and made him fight I don't see him running towards still because why would she run around the truck one dude is in the front on the left...doesn't make sense in order to attack somebody I'm going straight form I'm not going to run around and then try to sneak attack them when I got two white men with guns in front of me I actually think he was trying to just keep running and the truck was blocking his pathBlack man jogging through a redneck racist neighborhood. They so called thought he was a burglar and chased him down. As you see, they tried to trap him. Police didn't convict the racists because they said it was self defense. The black dude as we do see did attack first, he ran on the opposite side of the truck then came to the side where that dude was with the shotgun. I don't know what prompted him to attack that dude with a loaded shotgun, maybe he felt cornered, maybe dude called him a ******, I just don't know. But it "appears" he could've kept running. Either way, he looked like a jogger not a thief. They incited a situation, but in the eyes of the law, the black dude attacked them and lost.

Shit is exhausting and infuriating. Something has to change.
One thing many ppl aren't talking about is that you don't have to wait for a grand jury to arrest someone. The fact that these lynching CACs are still walking around free with no repercussions is a fucking travesty.
