Don’t they all look alike?


The fatal shooting of a black man -- apparently recorded on video in February and posted online Tuesday by a local radio station host -- will go to a grand jury in coastal Georgia, according to a district attorney.

Elements of the disturbing video are consistent with a description of the shooting given to police by one of those involved in the incident.
Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was jogging in a neighborhood outside Brunswick on February 23 when a former police officer and his son chased him down, authorities said. According to a Glynn County Police report, Gregory McMichael later told officers that he thought Arbery looked like a person suspected in a series of recent break-ins in the area.

Georgia grand jury review recommended in fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, Biden weighs in


Joe Biden, the likely Democrat nominee, took to Twitter to write that the video is "clear" and Arbery "was killed in cold blood." He wrote that his heart goes out to Arbery's family and called for a transparent investigation into the "murder."

More fine people...good people doing their civic duty and exercising their constitutional rights eh??

The fact that brown and black people from the Caribbean continue to support a president who is constantly blowing the dog whistle to empower/ egg on these miscreants, out of a selfish narcissistic agenda to be elected and worshipped at all costs is one of the most frustrating things I've witnessed in my adult life.

Colin Kaepernick still a 'son of a bitch' ??

This shit enrages, it saddens, it frustrates, it depresses.

It has long been known in America that Black men should not jog in the streets as it set off alarm bells in the people of the majority ethnic group. Societal conditioning has instill in them that if a person see a Black man running he could be guilty of something or is escaping from the authorities.
