A Georgia district attorney is recommending that the case of a man who was chased, shot and killed while running more than two months ago go to a grand jury, according to a news release obtained by CNN

Brunswick, Georgia A Georgia district attorney is recommending that the case of a jogger who was fatally shot in February go to a grand jury, according to a news release obtained by CNN.

Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was running in a Brunswick neighborhood February 23 when a former police officer and his son chased him down, telling officers later that they thought he looked like the suspect in a series of recent break-ins in the area, authorities said. Tom Durden, the district attorney for the Atlantic Judicial Circuit, wrote 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.

Yea... just your average jogger with boots and a hammer 🤦🏽‍♂️

Titanic Pt. II

The irony is the attorney for the McMichael duo is the one that released the tape!!! He figured it would help them.

RIDICULOUS SHAMEFUL Press charges. Who the hell do these people think they are?

Oh well one less of u mouth breathers I guess lol

Yall forgot but deez

This is horrific and very disturbing. What is wrong with people?😢

Without complete facts No One can conclude if violation of law occurred. If you stand accused I pray others wait until ALL facts are presented before reaching a verdict to label and sentence you. Days/weeks of work for professionals to make decision social media crowd 5 minutes

REDNECKS in Georgia seem to get away with just about anything, remember the governor’s race, now it’s letting them get away with murder.

A form of modern day lynching..

Jury: Mexican man not guilty in San Francisco pier killing

Let the racist murderers bleed out.

The negro clearly attacked. Period. He could have identified himself. This looked like neighborhood patrol. I probably would have shot too.

This is murder! Stop your obvious racism! Put those two monsters in prison for life!

ur biggest corporations are based in Georgia. Delta Airlines. Coca Cola, Mercedes Benz North America. Find out who they are. Put pressure on these corpoations to do something. They moved to a backwater swamp to save taxes. BoycottGeorgia. All the tweets won't bring justice.

Because a black man who runs is a criminal. I'm so fuckin sick of 'Matched the description' They are murderers and racist. This FORMER Cop is teaching his son his to kill black people and get away with it.

So much red tape... catch the racist killers and hand them the ultimate sentence....

Evidently in Georgia even the first appearance of justice takes a while.

Hoping this story, not just another news cycle overshadowed by some insignificant dangling carrot to redirect. A young man hunted & shot dead in the middle of a St. in AMERICA in broad daylight. Let that sink in. JusticeForAhmaudArbery JusticeForAhmaud AhmaudAubrey TheView

Took them long enough! No all you to is find the murderers

There are no words to adequately express the grotesque inhumanity of these two murderers. How much longer must people of colour suffer the cold-blooded hatred of white supremacy? To his family, may you find justice, tho it a poor substitute for the life of their beautiful son.

Let's remember y'all this case would have been swept under the rug and forgotten by history had there not been a video.

What was taken out of context on this story

Gov. Kemp and the Brunswick killer. A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Why are they taking so long for an arrest? If this were two black men shooting down a white female jogger and gave the excuse that she looked like a robber, they would have been quickly arrested, case closed!

This is appalling. If the races were reversed and it was black men who shot a white runner, they would have been charged.

TYPICAL WHITE TRUMP FANATICS BEHAVIOR !!..

It should read “spineless DA”

herman_maureen Blacks have the most diverse DNA on the planet. What are White men doing? We need that DNA for the future being that White DNA is damaged by UV rays, chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, and illegal drugs. We need Black DNA or the human race will not survive.

Just because two murderers “say something” they aren’t arrested immediately for murder? Is that the way out of murder now? If they were black would they be given the benefit of the doubt? OF COURSE NOT!! Arrest them.

Why was an ex cop, allowed to detain and KILL ANY OTHER PERSON, ITS A OURE CASE OF MURDER. WHY ARE THEY NOT IN JAIL

'... and Justice for All!' A root of frustration. Officials who fail or are slow to act is answered here. Is skin color truly used to discriminate one from another? Reality is, skin tone suggests who is 'locked up' and others not 'pending investigation. '..and Justice for All?

What took so fucking long

How the fuck is this even a question!!

2MONTHS!!!!!! Absofreakin amazing!!! What is wrong with the PEOPLE of Georgia!!!!! This should have been instituted BY the ppl WAY before it became VIRAL! INJUSTICE IS INJUSTICE!!!!

If you asked me to stop I would not have either for fear of my life, as proven! I wish that you both get what you deserve and that is eye for an eye! You deliberately went after this young man with the intent to kill! like father like son! your family must really be proud!

😡

This is so sad😪😪in this time in history. Why are they not being held accountable Please!! Shameful!!! Georgia!!!

Just a guess... Are there burning crosses in his garden?

😢

This is America, you're black, nobody cares. So sad..

QUESTION - did anyone else see the behavior of the son with the shotgun, seconds after Ahmad went down from the two POINTBLANK shots? He literally LOOKED SATISFIED THAT HE HAD SHOT A BLACK MAN. I would have collapsed sobbing from surviving “an attack” and “defending my life”

Lawless nation is emerging quickly.

Just so I understand, in Brunswick, white people are jogging, and black people are “hauling ass”?

One look at the video and they should go arrest them , unarmed guy running in the street with nothing in his hands possess no threat so it’s murder

THIS type of stuff was what Kaepernick was protesting. But people pretended it was about the flag.

I'm 'REAL GOOD', like really , really good at judging someone's visual persona...and I can easily tell by looking at Arbery that he was a beautiful soul and was a good, a real good, person , who liked to help people.

But, here's the issue, it took a video to make the complaint of a crime valid and it took 2 months for network news outlets to give it some attention.

Don't make this political though, don't blame Trump or the Republicans. I'm a Trump supporter, a republican and I found the video utterly disturbing. We need justice for Ahmaud, we need there not to be racist pieces of sh*t in this world. But please, don't make this political.

You don’t need a grand jury in order to charge. These dudes are not being indicted at this point, so they should be sitting in jail. They should sit there until Georgia is able to convene a grand jury.

It’s time for my race to do what’s best. Start running them down and killing them like dogs. I’m waiting for one of you to come my way.

Fucking disgusting 😤

Why isn't realDonaldTrump and the GOPLeader doing something about this.? I bet I know why.

They're brazen bc of the Imperial Wizard in the WH this should be kept in the public eye this is a defining moment one that should change the course of who gets elected. Enough of dog whistle Making America Great Again

How is this America now?! Is Canada excepting refugees?

Barely? Sickening.

The proof in right in front of anybody’s EYES!! That shot and innocent MAN down like they were HUNTING for DEER. A Grand Jury is not needed, JUSTICE is needed, some White Americans feel Black Americans don’t deserve or need. We will have JUSTICE!

TWO MONTHS AGO!!

Why weren't the perpetrators arrested, their homes searched?

If you think KKK minds don't exist in your local government anymore, try again.

You should fix the headline. Georgia is recommending the case because they got caught covering up another murder of a defenceless black male minding his own business because America has a racism problem.

OMG! The humans and the ones that is protecting them have no soul. God help us!

Wtf? And where is the AG? I'm sure barr can get off his butt for something other than kissing trump's ass once in awhile. Infuriating situation.

There are no words to express the horror I’m feeling. And they haven’t arrested these animals because what I’m so very sorry for this young mans family and friends.

HANG THE SON FIRST SO HIS FATHER CAN WATCH THEN HIM NEXT🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

“According to that law, you actually have to be observing the crime or be in the immediate knowledge of the crime,' Merritt said. 'The only thing they have ever said is ...that Ahmaud stopped by a house that was under construction and he looked through the window.

Cold blooded assassination. Where does this stop? How do we control hate mongoring and resulting consequences? Not every case is videotaped and hateful act, crime, retaliation occurs in every facet of our daily lives.

Don't believe in white privilege? What would happen to black men who chased and killed a white jogger....

This poor unarmed black man was senselessly gunned down during the day in the south by 2 white men chasing after him in a truck in the year 2020. Let that ferment for just a sec. WTF IS GOING ON!!!!🤬😭

Why did it take 2 months!!

Look at that pic! Hahahahah! omg, these people are evil.

Like the video of him trying to run around them is not enough? How about arrest them like they would have done if it were the other way around? This clearly illustrates the double standard in the justice system.

Why has this taken more than a minute?

So some MAGA americans want to see black athletes running while playing sports on TV. But running to stay fit in their neighborhood is a threat?

No one can just shoot and kill another person because they won’t talk to you. These murderers must be jailed to protect the community until the murder case is expedited. The last time I checked we have the rule of law. 🇺🇸

Put a threat of a virus & suggest social distancing to racist, ignorant, red neck States & this is the result. Gun violence through the roof normally & now the perfect excuse. Scary

How are these racists still free?

Who TF was filming this? This looks set-up! People just roll around with a camera and guns? Call it what it is, a premeditated execution of an innocent man. JusticeForAhmaudArbery

Took him long enough. If it were a white person was killed that way by black men, those black men would have been executed by now. It’s a damn shame !!!

Does everyone wonder why these two cowards have not been arrested and charged with murder yet

These ( men ), yeah right, need to fry!!!

This was a modern day lynching. Those 2 piece of trash deserve life in prison for hunting a human being like a prey like this 😡😡😡😡

Sort of interesting ... you can open tattoo parlors but can’t convene a grand jury?

I dunno man - I think it’s pretty clear murder was committed, so I’d just file charges. Then again, I’m not racist, so...

I know some bruhs in Jessup (prison) that’ll be waiting on them muhfuggas.

If these 2 🤡 don't get charged with murder soon, our voices should become deafening!!!😡😡🤬🤬

This is America for persons of color.

Sickening to see this video and to read the details of this murder.

What about Tara Reade? Doesn’t she deserve transparency and swift justice too?

Hey cnn, how did this killing get no coverage for 2 months and you covered the president for hours at his rambling rallies? That is sick.

Imagine it was two black dudes and young white jogger.....my how things would be different. I’ll say it again, this is why they kneel.

How do we know the grand jury won’t be as racist as the DA? It’s that part of the country, ya know.🤬DA afraid of not getting re-elected so he doesn’t want to make the decision,then what confidence is there in the people of his electorate aren’t racist as well. Sickening

If this man was white, and his two killers black, is there any reasonable person that believes that the two black men wouldn’t have been immediately arrested

I'M FROM GEORGIA AND YES THE GOOD OF BOY SYSTEM STILL EXISTS IN THE YEAR OF 2020. EVERY TIME A BLACK MAN OR WOMAN IS KILLED IN THIS STATE A COVER UP WILL HAPPEN FOR SURE. PRIME EXAMPLE THAT CASE OF A BLACK STUDENT FOUND WRAPPED UP IN MATT AT A SCHOOL GYMNASIUM IN ALBANY GEORGIA.

he was executed. his killers deserve prison. disgusting terrifying shameful.

Family needs JUSTICE!

This is America

Those two men need to be behind bars until the investigation is over. They are murderers, bigots, and committed a hate crime. Get them off our streets.

First of all CNN write them ENTIRE story. These murders went back to their home to get the guns! The DA declined charges and ONLY when the video surface did they change their minds. Disgusting reporting

Don’t run and you won’t get shot

These men need to be charged with murder!

most people subject themselves too without their knowledge and allow for subrogation of rights e.g. Constitution thru their individual consent-Unknowingly and unintelligently- I might add! Has any heard of 'Jury Nullification?'

They lynched this man in broad daylight, hunted and shot down like a dog. I bet the cops on scene patted them on the back just like they always do to as a signal to say they had nothing to worry about. You can never trust cops or the justice system when it comes to Black lives.

RIP. I am so sorry for your loss Mrs. Cooper. I hope you have justice.

We can longer expect elected officials to bring about justice we must do it ourselves. By any means necessary!!!!

Rednecks run wild

Something needs to be done about the abhorrent racism and unequal corrupt justice system that allows white people to get away with murder and other threatening behavior in America. Enough is enough! The rest of the world can see it for what it is and we are disgusted by it.

The video speaks for itself. Why the grand jury?

These men are on tape killing a man. They should have been arrested at scene. Their story is bullshit. They followed him and killed him. It's vigilante justice against a man who has committed no known crime. Shotgun accidentally went off three times times during struggle? Right.

Well its murder so.

It seems the perps are known. They must be punished.

WhiteSupremacy always wants a grand jury when it's WhitePeople accused of murdering blacks. So they can spin the evidence and stack the jury the way they want to get the outcome they want, whiteprivilege!

White supremacist and former police officer! No way! Almost like we should better vet our police officers...

I honestly cannot believe they’re not in jail. An unjust America is no America at all. We are lost. 💔😢

When you pursue a person who is jogging believing him to be a potential burglar and you kill him. It's murder.

They were hunting him down for fun!!!! Truly Disgusting. My heart hurts so- for Georgia man & his family. What kind of country is this under Trump.

I have a bad feeling, they are going to let this men go. Aren’t Grand Juries known for clearing Police Officers. The persecutor is cleaning his hands off from this case, by sending it to the Grand Jury. Keep an eye on this case.

It’s utter BS that it took so long for the DA to recommend this action.

How the hell can this be real, I mean even if he were a burglar people can't just start to execute people. But if this is what they think we can do, I guess it's ok for anyone to execute these two murderers?

even if he did steal, no reason to KILL someone. Then to top it of WTF is it to them if he didn't even fuck with THEIR property. This is a straight up a hate crime and it happens 1000x's per day. Mostly to black community but everyone other than white is discriminated at 1 point.

Why aren't they arrested though.

Okay surprise really please all stop with me‘righteous’ indignation...Black lives don’t matter to those who have no life no comprehension of love...my question is when do the rest of us make a difference out loud and not online...MLK way

It’s going to take someone rich or famous to help this story gain more traction... when it does...look out

Black people should license themselves to avenge such murders! Don’t wait for no ducking justice that will never prevail. Serve the justice ourselves!!

This is UNBELIEVABLE

Blue lives matter my ass

Wow. When I saw footage earlier I was praying it was fake. My heart breaks for that young man and his family.

Poor man, same as Mr. James Byrd, Jr. , a case that still makes me shake with horror and tear up to think of what he endured. This case is eerily similar, there must be justice!

If you google it, you’ll know the whole story. Grand Jury bypasses a trial which will be good in this situation with all the video evidence. The officers that told his mom lied and said he was trying to break into a house and the homeowner shot him.

Racism is terrorism. The levels of terror is USA are monumental. Retaliation is imminent.

VBRef60 Wtf does there need to be a gd grand jury? Oh that’s right, it’s mfking Georgia! JusticeForAhmaudArbery

he was resisting arrest and was a danger to anyone he came into contact with

Hey twitter, his (Tom Durden, DA) phone number is 912-876-4151, please call him and tell him to prosecute this case or resign for being a racist POS.

Gotta b kidding me

Those men are not in prison!? Imagine if it was an unarmed white guy running and two armed black men in a truck....you got it, they’d be in prison, case closed.

Divide & conquer RACIAL PROPAGANDA.....promoted by CNN THE COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK

What a sad day in America...when does this racism and hatred end President Trump you gonna do something about these white supremacist or are you going to applaud and protect them?

White Privilege on so many levels yet you mothefuckas still deny it exist!

Where is the video? So I am clear before I watch it you all are saying that a gentleman simply minding his own business not doing anything was chased and tuned down. Making sure I got it straight before I watch it.

Fix this tweet so everyone understands the gravity of this atrocity

I honestly think these murderers should be dragged by their truck on the freeway

Really WTF 😚!!

Two months ago? Seriously? It’s Murder. Do. It. Now.

Why has it taken 2 months?

Today arrest them today!!! Should've arrested them in Feb when it happen.This misleading headline make it seem like they are doing their job when they tried to sweep this under the rug.Should read after 2 months of doing absolutely nothing video release forces statement from DA.

It should. But like clockwork, Democrats will try to divide the country on race as usual....fasten your seatbelts.

When I read stuff like this on the news it makes me feel so lucky and glad I live in Canada🇨🇦

MarshallCohen Finally. And let’s get his murderers in prison for the rest of their miserable lives.

Just despicable.

Georgia District Attorney vows to bring shooting of unarmed black man to grand juryUPDATE: Georgia prosecutors said Tuesday they plan to present evidence to a grand jury for possible charges against men who chased, and eventually gunned down, an unarmed black man they believed was a burglar — but whose family say was simply jogging. They don't need a grand jury to indict. They're going to present a garbage case that exonerates the shooters because the father is an ex-cop. I think that racial/ethnic categories are just a strategy for the ppl at the 'top' to benefit from everyone else who self-identifies according to a particular race/ethnicity. It's like a 'fan-club'. The ppl at the bottom end up supporting the ppl at the top. Race/ethnicity is BS. Jogging whilst black.
