You know, not everybody follows the news from the US all that closely.
Do you think you could at least provide a link to a news article or video clip or something that might give those of us that don't follow every word that comes out of the media's collective mouth a clue as to what you're on about?

There's a lot more to the story than a black man killed while jogging. That narrative is pretty old now. He was seen/caught trespassing in a home under construction, in a neighborhood that had experienced a rash of burglaries and he ran away when he was discovered. 911 was called and 2 men attempted to stop him and detain him until the police arrived. One of the men was a retired Police officer and had a license to carry a gun. Ahmaud stupidly (IMO) attacked and attempted to wrestle the gun away and was shot multiple times.

AFAIK, there is nothing he had done or is accused of doing that justified the civilian use of deadly force at that moment in time.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

This is most definitely is not a case of Stand Your Ground or self-defense as some have portrayed. Arbery may or may not have been acting suspiciously but the McMichaels most definitely went too far, resulting in someone dying.
There has been a lot of talk about what took so long for them to be charged. A significant reason is that the first two prosecutors recused themselves having worked with the elder McMichael in the past.
