Voluntary manslaughter at a miminum.

That’s two stories of thug off duty cops today.
The other one is one working private security in WalMart slamming a woman down to the floor on her face.

Rushing a man with a loaded shotgun pointed at you rarely ends well.

“ARBERY ran to the right of the truck and upon arriving at the front of the truck exercised a 90 degree turn to the left “

You are making that up because they were blocked from view.

They both appeared fightin moving to the left.

It would seem shotgun 2 was on the right side of the truck when he tried to run by. Not visible.

First shotgun blast went off when he was on the right side of the truck. He nor per2 were visible.

No, I didn't mean to criticize you at all.

I was just spouting off to Freepers at large how I have watched this live-crime show on the tube, called "The First 48 Hours," and how remarkable it is to me that two white guys shooting down a young black has the full attention of all the networks, cable and otherwise...

While the astonishing slaughter of young blacks by other young black in the projects generates nothing but a glamorized TV show and a kind of universal shrug: boys in the projects, what's to do about it?"

Yes. The guy with shotgun seems to have instigated the encounter between himself and the runner.

If it was perfectly legal under Georgia law, why were they charged and arrested?

It is a hard show to watch.

It’s really depressing to see so many young Americans of African Descent murdered.

Drug sales gone bad.
Lying to the police.
Releasing balloons at a funeral.

Present in almost every story.

Extremely sad.

There is only one shotgun shown, that I see.

The first shotgun blast goes off when he moves in front of the truck toward the man with the shotgun, when he is in very close proximity to him.

The autopsy is consistent with this as he had a shotgun wound to his hand, apparently from the first shot.

They were not at first. The evidence is clear.

Now? We are seeing close to a Michael Brown (Ferguson Missouri) re-run.

It is how these race baiting lawyers get big bucks.

Not my call, or opinion. I'm posting text from the DA. As we are frequently reminded, especially over the past 3-1/2 years, people are arrested, prosecuted and sometimes even jailed for political reasons all the time. Officer Darren Wilson was prosecuted for shooting Michael Brown...

These men will be tried in front of a jury of their peers. Based on the video, I doubt they will be convicted of murder. That doesn't mean what they did was right. It just means the evidence doesn't prove murder.

“...It would seem shotgun 2 was on the right side of the truck when he tried to run by. Not visible....”
********************************************************
Ah, NO! You’re wrong again. I know that “eye witnesses” often make mistakes remembering what they’ve seen. Sometimes, people “remember” details in a way that fits a narrative they want to be true. Fortunately we have a video to help people develop a FACTUAL understanding of what they see.

Look at the image in post 75 up thread. You will see that “the 2nd man” was standing in the bed of the pickup truck. After seeing that still image, carefully watch the video again and confirm that the image came from that video and was taken a split second after the “runner” ran by the right side of the truck before he made his sharp left turn to attack the son.

So “shotgun 2” was, in fact, visible. And was NOT, as you stated, “Not visible”.

You don’t know what instigated the pursuit & recording.

I don't know. If I was minding my own business and the suspicion I was committing a crime looked like a excuse to hospitalize or murder me in cold blood, I just might get pretty desperate.

"USA TODAY filed an open public records request with the Glynn County Police Department for burglaries and home break-ins in the Satilla Shores neighborhood between Jan. 1 and Feb. 23. The department's records office said in an email Thursday it had no records matching that request."

Seriously? I’m not a freaking troll I’ve been here since 2007 and am about as conservative as can get. Maybe simply pointing me to the video link would help instead of simple slander. The video I saw was crappy and appeared as though the father and son jumped out and attacked the guy. My goodness, no need to attack each other while we’re being destroyed by leftist tyrants in this country.

First of all I wouldn’t be in that position but if someone where to ever approach me that way, I’d certainly pretend Tom comply until I could get close enough to use my own weapon efficiently

I do not see a second shotgun anywhere. Do you?

Perhaps you are referring to a person?

I saw that video, several questions, who shot it and where has it been for the last two months. Also has it been edited?
I find this tape suspicious.

Some men cower in fear when confronted by someone with a gun and some men try to defend themselves.

Perhaps it will help explain what turned a VERBAL encounter into a PHYSICAL encounter:....really?
