UPDATE: 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.

A spokeswoman for Durden said the office would not answer any questions or make any other comment beyond its short, written statement.

It was also unclear when a grand jury could be convened to hear evidence, as courts in Georgia are prohibited from empaneling any grand or trial jury through at lest June 12, as the nation fights the COVID-19 pandemic. The men who chased down Arbery have been identified by police as Brunswick resident Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34.

5/6/2020 Politics News Sports Murder in Georgia two cowards white males thugs shoots jogging BLACK man daily 24/7. I'm black, but I don't understand why BLACK people go to church? Same in Africa BLACK people go to church insanity disgrace. TheAfricanPress Afridiaspora

I saw the video of the murder, there’s no reason to believe that he was a threat of any kind, he was literally hunted and murdered.

This Grand Jury is a sham way for the (likely elected) District Attorney to avoid accountability. He should just charge them straight out — as they clearly killed the man on video. BEST CASE these 🤡 committed manslaughter. Worst case, vigilante “justice” on the wrong man.

Why isn't the race of the killers relevant?

Nothing will happen. These murderers will get off as usual. That man will be forgotten until they murder the next one. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Lock those men up! So wrong what they did!!

'They said they believed was a burglar' is what this headline should say.

KeyDecision1 Correction: '...they SAID they believed was a burglar....'

What do you have to lose?

The Jim Crow south raises its ugly head once again.

A burglar? Who the hell are they trying to kid? They need to be in jail FOREVER!

It doesn't matter if he was guilty of a burglary or not The simple fact of the matter is that he was shot on a public road not on private property by a group of individuals that took the law into their own hands instead of relying on police. Burglary is not a capital offense.

Grand jury? Arrest the motherfuckers

Possible Charges? There's enough evidence to Prosecute

Burglars don’t deserve to be shot by civilians. Neither do joggers

Jogging my ass.

What does his color have to do with it?

When ya stop arresting ppl for trying to feed their families by opening their businesses or ppl for attending Churches, WE will care. Otherwise Nah. realDonaldTrump BarackObama HillaryClinton maga JusticeForAhmaudArbery kag

So I’m just thinking right... If you’re “jogging” and you hear cops run after you while yelling at you to get down... You should probably get down no? Seems like another JussieSmollett Hoax

Hang em!!

They believe we all are criminals. That’s reasonable and print-worthy justification/mitigation ?

They MURDERED HIM. 🆘🆘🆘🆘⚖️🆘🆘🆘🆘⚖️

JDub_06 Me reading this tweet and wondering how the charges are “possible” and not definite.

What the fuck do you mean possible charges? How can it be anything but a murder charge?

I'm a pacifist who abhors the death penalty. But in this case... Fry the mothafuckers!😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

Why would they believe he was a burglar? Did they catch him on private property attempting to break into a house or a car ? He was shot in the middle of the street for Christ sake. What was he trying to steal ? The freaking pavement. That’s the shadiest excuse. Lock them up.

When will we look at vids like this and say, OMG, how is that possible in America? 100 years? 1,000? Shame on us.

Evidence? Let’s hear it! And, no matter the outcome, let justice be done.

Jogging whilst black.

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.
