For all the things I have said in news, I never thought it would be this comment that does it. Banned for “Trolling”

The apartment shooting cop was off duty, so it should really just be treated as a civilian case. Although her training could have been better.

About the man "on his cell phone". He was running from police and pointed the phone at officers in a way similar to a shooting stance. It looked like a gun to the cops, so they shot him.

It’s come out that it was almost certainly a suicide by cop incident, as well. His girlfriend was threatening him with fake rape allegations and otherwise keeping him away from his kids IIRC.

I feel pretty bad for the dude. That's fucked up.

the most powerful thing you can do is add rule breaking anti trump posts so eventually the whole sub becomes shitposts and porn, and a new platform is created.
This is the only working solution. Everything else that's reasonable has failed.

To me there's only two important points about the Aubrey case:
- It's a giant distraction from issues that are 1000x more important, like the Cornavirus, the CCP, and Obamagate. Literally, every one of those issues is at least 1000x more meaningful. Yes, this is a tragedy (regardless of one's positive/negative view), but so are the hundreds of people dying every day from the virus.
- The internet-lynch-mob was based on intentionally incomplete information, and those who continue to persist are revealing themselves as absolutely absurd. This Aubrey thing is a giant waste of everyone's time, other than revealing these toxic-activists for who they are, and their complete lack of fact-checking ability. I have full confidence in the law's ability to sort this one out, and therefore there's zero rational reason to discuss it.
If there was a betting website, and this wouldn't take months to resolve, I'd love to put money down on a bet for the outcome of this case.

Just like all the others. The people claiming to care really don’t. They just want to use it to push their politics, you can tell because they never accept facts that prove them wrong.
18
I think it makes them look absurd, and harms the causes they pretend to represent. Like you said, it's all about their political agenda, and not really the incident at hand.

I dunno, some people seem to just derive genuine pleasure from gratuitous outrage. I've got too many Facebook acquaintances who are straight, white, retired or disabled, and all they post are far left clickbait political articles and anti-racist memes or feminist memes.
It's like they spend all of their time desperately searching for something, no matter how trivial or irrelevant, to be mad about.
I don't get it.

Same - there’s no way they’re getting done for murder. Chasing a trespasser isn’t murder. Getting out of a car with a gun (in Georgia) isn’t murder. Shooting someone who runs at you isn’t murder.
That paragraph is going to piss a lot of people off. But a court will not sentence them to murder.
My predication is a deal for manslaughter or something. Which will cause another round of media ruckus.

uh oh you just committed a thoughtcrime

Can we stop saying it was a tragedy that this guy died? He's a criminal with priors who assaulted an armed elderly man. Who knows what would have happened had he succeeded in taking possession of that weapon?

imagine reading incelsub like r/news r/worldnews or r/politics unironically and posting worthy comments there
OP, reddit is dead and turned into echo chamber long ago

Liberals, after a decade of the 'reality has a liberal bias' circlejerk, have convinced themselves that it is simply impossible for anyone to have an honest disagreement with them. Therefore, all dissent must be trolling in their eyes, and conveniently, the arguments of trolls don't have to be addressed...

The whole thing smells of police corruption. They wanted to bury this, and they almost did. We need to cleanse that police department.
-2†
More incompetence than outright corruption, but I agree everyone needs to be fired
14
Should those 2 men go to jail? I don't know.
Should everyone be fired? Oh hell yeah I agree.
But I was originally going to post just to say your reply was incredibly tame. Those guys are assholes. I actually can't believe either that this was the one. Did you contest it? I hate contesting shit with these CCP mods but your comment really wasn't that bad, at all.

All I said afterwards was have a good day and stated I am will to change my mind if there was proof. They said imagine if he was white if it would have happened. The last thing that was said if asking a hypothetical was their proof, I got no response.

I am really against snowflakes. I am also really against blind white hate. Here is a video about a father picking his son up from school who ends up dead.
Seriously, this type of shit can happen ANYWHERE at ANYTIME. Fuck snowflakes, man.
SFW... mostly. Warning, death but not gore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47swe9Q6cJ8
Edit: found a better link. No MSM bullshit, just body cam.

Collin Noir did an excellent video (actually 2, one before the CCTV was released and one after) on the situation. He's black but is also a republican gun owner who went to law school.
He explains the laws that would apply in the case very well.

I mean, take the race out of it.
We have a man walk into a construction site (which is common and was done multiple times by other people and even groups of people)
Next two people roll up on him and jump out and aim their guns at him. That is literally escalating and initiating a conflict. The person jogging has every right to assume those men are there to kill or injure him and therefore used his right to stand his ground in an attempt to prevent them from shooting him without a fight.
Not in the mood to argue. The law is not on the side of the two murderers anymore, regardless of race.

Read through my other replies, I have covered pretty much all of this.

You have to be crazy blind to think that those men would’ve killed a white man “trespassing” in the same way.
EDIT: everyone replying is doing the same thing - jumping to the end of the story. They’re saying “of course a white guy would get shot if they were wrestling someone with a gun.” But they’re skipping all the stuff before the wrestling match. Like how those white guys would have approached him, spoke to him, feared him if the guy wasn’t black. They approached him with aggression and fear because he was black. Their attitude led to the death of another human.
Downvote away. You’re blind if you pretend race doesn’t affect the world.
-43
What is with people using a hypothetical to prove this is racist? Did the two guys ever say anything along the line that they hated black people?
44
Because hypothetical situations are useful tools that allow us to examine a variety of mindsets. Do you think they would’ve killed a white guy in the same situation? I’m still waiting for your answer.
-14
If he grabbed my gun, yes. At that point it’s life or death.
19
In Georgia it's illegal to point a gun at someone without legal justification.
0†
So you think the situation would’ve played out the same way. They would’ve called the police and then approached a white guy aggressively and while armed?
Bull shit. They would’ve smiled and waved if they saw me out for a jog in their neighborhood.
-16
They said he matched security footage from a string of burglaries. Video footage that no one can find now. The local police also reported no recent string of burglaries. Would a white person have matched the description from this nonexistent video?
-18
We have to footage.
17
Where is it? Can you source this?
-13
What the fuck are you talking about? Even the mainstream media has played back multiple clips from different days of this shithead prowling around on that property. It is clearly the same person in every single clip.
13
Video of someone trespassing, which is a misdemeanor, does not equate to video of someone committing a burglary, which is a felony. A citizens arrest in Georgia requires a felony.

Basic troubleshooting principle can be applied here. Absolutely any time a problem needs to be diagnosed, it needs to be properly understood. In order to draw the conclusion that you have drawn we would need:
- Multiple scenarios of black men doing the same thing reacting the same way
- Multiple scenarios of white men doing the same thing reacting the same way
- Multiple scenarios of black men doing the same thing reacting in a different way
- Multiple scenarios of white men doing the same thing reacting in a different way
- Multiple scenarios of black men jogging in the area
- Multiple scenarios of white men jogging in the area
That covers just some of the variables. If you apply any kind of logical deductive reasoning you can do some research and you'll find that these situations rarely occur (considering scope). Likewise, you'll also see that many of the hate crimes people are outraged about end up not being accurate. Michael Brown, Jussie Smollett and I feel Arbery fits right in there.
You'll also be able to dig up plenty of stories of white people killing other white people in self defense. I just saw a video on YouTube where a white guy shot another white guy for leaving a mattress out by his garbage cans to be picked up.
The social justice crowd runs on "There's racism so this must be racism" and it's a very poor narrative. So I'd counter argue that absolutely everyone who thinks like that is either lazy, retarded or both.
12
So you're saying that the guy who ran up to him, tried to wrestle the shotgun out of his hands and repeatedly punched him in the head, wouldn't have gotten shot if he were white? Yeah, somehow I doubt that.
I'm pretty sure when someone is trying to pry a gun out of my hands and is assaulting me, the last thing I'm going to be thinking about is making sure whether or not they're white before I shoot them...

where's your evidence for this? like ANY shred of evidence. they're not KKK members. no racist social media posts. nothing. wild fantastical theories get you hysterical bitches in a tizzy in the media, but they mean nothing in court.
if cross-race victims was de facto evidence of hate-crimes, then blacks would be incarcerated at drastically higher levels on hate-crime charges... apparently we commit 13x more black-on-white than white-on-black when you factor in population. so your bullshit argument is bullshit.
here's another problem with your racism-porn fantasy... they witnessed arbery committing a felony after it was the 4th felony incident THAT WEEK. all that shit is on camera from multiple different angles. arbery also has a criminal record for bring a gun to a school. arbery charged the white guy, punched him in the head, and tried to grab the shotgun. that's when the whitey shot arbery 3x. even if they were literal KKK grandmasters, it's still objectively a lawful citizen's arrest and lawful stand-your-ground. there's no universe where your racism-porn fantasy is real.

You want it to be one way, but it’s the other way.
You people are so desperate for this to be a clear case of racially-motivated murder when the circumstances and the facts do not support this at all.
