BRUNSWICK, Ga. – A quick acting police officer in Brunswick stopped a teenager with a loaded gun from entering a high school basketball game Tuesday night.

Police arrested 19-year-old Ahmaud Marquez Avery (pictured below), who is not a student at Brunswick.

"The man ran through the parking lot. I tried to get him to stop as well. He would not stop for us," said Glynn County Schools Chief of Police, Rod Ellis. "We ended up chasing him to the back of the school were other officers helped us apprehend him."

Ellis said the .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun slipped out of the teen's pants.

I was biased in the kids favor until I watched the video and saw him loop around and attack. And then I read this. Facts are starting to pile up against this dead perp.

Yep. And for me personally, based on the decedent's own actions, this guy allegedly being out for an innocent jog reeked from the beginning. Innocent people do not behave the way this guy did.

Yep. Innocent people do not charge full speed to attack, when there are avenues they could use to extricate themselves from a situation.

Enjoy the 'outrage' while you can because the #MSM is going to flip on this and flush it down the memory hole in 3,2,1...

"Dear Ms Crittendon and McGowan:

"My son works as an Assistant District Attorney for Jackie Johnson. Unknown to Jackie and me until about 3-4 weeks ago, he had handled a previous felony probation revocation and pleading Ahmaud Arbery to a felony in her Glynn County Office.

"This family are not strangers to the local criminal justice system. From best we can tell, Ahmaud's older brother has gone to prison in the past and is currently in the Glynn Jail, without bond, awaiting new felony prosecution. It also appears a cousin has been prosecuted by DA Johnson's office. Ahmaud, the deceased, had a juvenile and adult felony record."

"I believe we have the majority of the information at our office. There is a decent cell phone video of the entire shooting incident, also video of Arbery burglarizing a home immediately preceding the chase and confrontation. We have a witness list and have done research we would include with the file to be available for the new prosecutor's use if desired."

Thank you for your help in this matter,
George E Barnhill
District Attorney
Waycross Judicial Circuit"

You know there is a video of the shooting. It is all over. Support your assertion.

And all of this EVIDENCE regarding the character of this dead man will be ignored by the fifth column enemy media because it doesn’t assit them in hyping up the racial unrest they so desperately need to assist their massahs in the DNC.

He ain’t the Po-lice.

It ain’t his job to go questioning suspects, ESPECIALLY at gunpoint.

He coulda called the cops and gotten himself a fried chicken and a 12 pack of Bud and had a nice evening, but his life took a different turn, as another life ended.

He was not questioning anyone at gunpoint.

Just because the father and son were armed, does not translate to them questioning someone at gunpoint.

Talking to someone is not a crime, even though amazingly many here would love to make that into a crime.

Sorry but I have no idea what you are referring to.....

Citizen’s arrest, is that your plea to the jury?

What crime had this dead guy committed at that exact time and place? Or, aren’t these two just a couple of self-appointed cops and nothing more, working from nothing but their own assumptions?

I don’t think that line of bullshit is gonna play well with the jury. Be sure to go visit your buddies in prison.

Attacking someone is a crime, whether they are holding a gun or not. And that is precisely what the dead perp did, when in fact he could have turned left or right and avoided them entirely. Instead he chose to attack them.

He chose poorly.

The fact that this is all on video and you CHOOOSE not to see it for what it is is truly astounding.

I’m sorry. Where was he threatened with the gun?
So we always allow burglars and thiefs to get away and never attempt to them or any other criminals?
What about rapists? Do we let them just run off too if we happen upon it?

Your premise is just wrong over and over again. Running from the scene of a crime you just committed isn’t illegal I don’t guess so you might be right about that.

There was no argument? Where did you see an argument?

Where so suggest he put his rifle? In his back pocket?

I got news for you. CITIZENS are protected by citizens arrest laws too.

If you think these men chased him down to simply “execute” him then you’re VERY dense. Put the media away and think for yourself.
Why didn’t they just shoot him upon sight if that’s the case? Why did they tell STOP IT! STOP! At him as he was charging if their end goal was death. Why not shoot him them?

They had zero authority to ask him to stop

They admitted that they were there conducting a citizens arrest, which they had zero license according to GA Law to do so. That, combined with the gun, makes them vigilantes looking to get revenge on a man that they believed committed a crime of trespassing, on land they don’t own and a crime they themselves admitted to not even witnessing.

Yes, that is a giant problem for them, and it could get them murder 1, which by the way, they deserve here.

Everything I have said was supported by the video clip

The morons admitting to performing a ‘Citizens Arrest’ is why this is should be a murder charge, they went after a man, who’s only crime is a 2nd hand info that he might have trespassed onto a construction site. That isn’t going to fly well with a Jury.

They confronted the man with a shot gun, 3 vs 1, yelling at the man and wanted to “talk to him”, blocking his way with their truck. If you were the man, would you believe these people are reasonable? Would you want to stay around and find out what they wanted? Is this a friendly way to “talk about it”. Or would you think these yahoos wanted to cause harm to this man, tie him up and drag him down the road behind their truck? Who knows what was going through that man’s mind.

The aggressors were the three yahoos with guns chasing after this man. That is the fact. That is the fact that matters
