Jury selection begins for three White men accused of chasing down and fatally shooting Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man out for a jog

Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William"Roddie" Bryan Jr. are charged with malice and felony murder and have pleaded not guilty. They also face charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.Jury selection in their state trial began Monday in a Glynn County courtroom, where the three defendants sat next to their own counsel.

Arbery was on a jog -- something he was known to do, according to those who knew him -- when the McMichaels grabbed their guns and pursued Arbery. Gregory McMichael, a former police officer and investigator in the local district attorney's office, later told police Arbery and his son had struggled over his son's shotgun, and that Travis McMichael shot Arbery after the latter attacked him, according to the initial police report.

The fact that the GBI (the state’s premier law enforcement agency) had to get involved, and the local DA voted out of office, before charges were even brought in this blatant murder, speaks to how systemic racism often plays out in Amerikkka.

THEY SHOULD BE IN JAIL THE REST OF THEIR LIFES

They not in jail yet?...

If it was the other way around cnn probably wouldn't write the story, but if they did, they would write the men accused of shooting a 25 year man. Cnn is the king of race baiting with their awful news anchors led by shit head 1 & 2. Lemon and Cuomo

These people are guilty they don't need a trial can you be thrown in jail and given the death penalty immediately

Your 2nd amendment is a deadly self-enslavement. The U.S. is becoming a reckless killing machine. In the U.S., the freedom to kill humans seems the most important human right. Stand your ground, and you can kill, it seems!

If these guys DONT look racist I’m not sure who does

This looks like a Klan recruiting poster.
