Did Ahmaud enter the dwelling under construction because he was just curious, looking for work, or attempting to steal? Whatever the case, none was deserving of him being chased down with guns by the the McMichaels. This case is very reminiscent of the Trayvon Martin case.

“Out jogging”? Let’s at least get the headline correct.

The prosecutor who did nothing needs to be disbarred and charged as an accomplice.

What’s there to weigh? This is definitely a hate crime.

Justice Department assessing whether to bring hate crime charges in Arbery shootingThe US Justice Department is 'assessing all of the evidence' in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery to determine whether federal hate crime charges are appropriate, and is considering the request from Georgia's attorney general to investigate the handling of the case, agency spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement Monday. AG Bill Barr's DOJ? The murderers will see their charges dropped to appease Trump's white nationalist base. It was a target based off of race. Of course it’s a hate crime.
