The panel on Saturday’s edition of AM Joy wasted no time blaming the NRA as well as President Trump for the tragic shooting of unarmed African-American Glynn County, Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery. Throughout the segment, host Joy Reid and the panel painted police officers as racists and repeatedly trashed those protesting the stay-at-home orders.
At the beginning of the segment, Reid delivered a monologue describing the “anti-lockdown protesters” as “angry, spittle-flecked, mostly men, mostly white, spewing respiratory droplets and indignation.” She also discussed the “necropolitics of the pandemic, the freedom to decide who gets to live and who has to die for me to get mine.”
According to Reid, “necropolitics” requires “a disproportionately black and brown labor force to return to work, get back on the wheel and risk death in order to serve” a “certain cohort of white guys” who believe they possess the “God-given right to get their roots done and order a steak at the restaurant and hit the golf course and the bar.”
After she finished dismissing the concerns of stay-at-home protesters, Reid brought in her panel to discuss the topic at hand: the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. Reid implied that police officers were racist because they were “quite casual” about “white protesters literally screaming in the faces of officers” at the stay-at-home order protests; complaining that “they’re not afraid of them, but they’re afraid of any black motorist.”
One of the panelists, Vanderbilt University Professor Jonathan Metzl blamed “all the rhetoric coming out of the NRA,” “stand Your ground” laws, and “what I write about in my book, The Castle Doctrine, these ideas that basically of the white body...the white home as a particular castle” for Arbery’s death.

They are leaking Black voters, and have to race bait.
Newsbusters fell into the left-wing trap by referring to the shooting as “murder”.
Here’s what I see in the video: A truck up ahead is stopped on the road and one guy is out of the truck on the driver’s side. You can’t see it, but apparently he had a shotgun. The “jogger” jogs up initially on the driver’s side of the truck but then swings wide around the truck on the passenger’s side. When he gets to the front of the truck he immediately, without hesitation, attacks the guy with the shotgun grabbing the barrel and they begin to struggle for control of the gun. This video doesn’t show how long the struggle for the gun lasted before the shot. It’s clear that they were waiting for him. However, as far as the shooting goes, what I see is self-defense, not murder.
The District Attorney’s assessment agrees with what I see in the video and you can read that in posts 87-89 of this article:

“New Video Evidence In Ahmaud Arbery Case Emerges, Proves Everyone Is Lying, Emotional, And STUPID”

NRA should sue...as soon as Wayne gets a few new suits.
JPFO, GOA, SAF.
No, it’s idiots wanting to play vigilante who are to blame.
If you aren’t defending your own life or property from an immediate threat, lethal force is murder.
If you’re waiting for me with a shotgun, the only assumption I’m making is that one of us is going to die, and will definitely be me if I don’t take you out first, so I’m damned well going to try.
I hope both these idiots never see the outside of the pen and make lots of good friends ‘inside’.
You can’t just chase someone down running in the street and then use lethal force, and you can’t claim ‘self-defense’ when you are trying to restrain someone outside of your property. I can’t chase down a burgler, try to make a citizen’s arrest, and then shoot them if they try to escape, that is simply murder.
This character seems to be opposed to people defending themselves; can’t help but wonder if he is opposed to a woman defending herself from a rapist.
Anytime you hear of a person or persons opposed to the right of self defense it is a sure bet that person or persons wants to rape, rob or murder with impunity.
I guess you didn't watch the video.
Did you miss this part of my post in ref to the ‘reporters’?
“These assclowns are insufferable.”
