I never believed the jogging scenario being pushed by the media. I think there had to be a reason for the DA not to immediately charge the shooters. They are guilty of a negligent homicide, but this wasn’t a modern day lynching being pushed by the racial hate mongers.
It may be negligent homicide, but the argument could be made that the McMichael's had enough probable cause to make a citizens arrest at which point the fleeing Aubrey attacked, punched dude in the face, grabbed the shotgun and attempted to snatch it away, causing the McMichael's to fear for their lives.
You may be very well correct. I just don’t think they will get off due to media and politicians involvement. They will make something stick. I don’t think there was a single race component to this situation. I guy was trespassing, a couple of hot heads took off with guns, and the trespasser try’s to grap the gun. If the guy was white, the same thing would have happened. Simple as that.
