If you listen to the media, two white guys chased a black guy down and shot him just because he was black. I suspect it to be more like a Travon Martin incident. Over zealous home owners playing police.

Two guys fighting over a gun-one got shot.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Just saw news. Then I looked up the video. Pretty plain. Now the ? Why did it take 2 months to arrest and charge the father and son. And the other ? The fella filming on his phone posted it on social media. I sometimes wonder has anything really changed. One thing I know for sure. Trump will get blamed for this as well.

The original DA refused to press charges. Apparently one or both of the white guys had ties to the office. One was also a retired deputy I think.

Wow. Sad. The fella didn't get shot by the guy he was wrestling with over the shotgun. He was gunned down by the father who was in the back of the truck bed.

The older suspect worked with the original DA for 20 years, so the original DA recused himself.

Home owner was former police officer. Sounds like several people called 911 about a black guy running thru the neighborhood where they had several prior burglaries.

Where was black guy actually from and why was he jogging there? Asking as I don't know.

I could only find highly edited versions of the video that jump up the road a few hundred feet between edits, so maybe 30 seconds or more was edited out. The videos don't show the initial contact or escalation. There is no way to tell who is at fault in the edited videos.

I see no reason to edit the videos except to make the father and son appear guilty. Does anyone have a link to the full, unaltered video?

The father was connected is the reason nothing happened at first. Sickening...I cant stand good old boys.

Trump will get blamed....yeah probably.....the left will just use this to further their agenda.

Lots of mistakes made in this deal. The first being committing a burglary in a neighborhood on heightened alert with live action cameras and overzealous neighborhood watch.

It all went downhill from there.

Did the black guy live around there?

You would think the father, former police officer would have understood what was legal and what wasn't.

Do we know if this guy that got shot was actually the one committing burglaries? From what I understand there's no reason to suspect that the guy that got shot was the burglary suspect, but I may be wrong. My understanding is that the shooters saw this guy running through the neighborhood and called 911 and told dispatch that there was a black guy running through the neighborhood and he might be the burglary suspect, and then they grabbed guns and hopped in their truck to go confront him. I haven't heard why they though he was the burglary suspect though.

My understanding is that a home under construction was burglarized triggering a cellular motion camera alerting the neighborhood and that phone calls were made to be on the watch to catch the guy. This started the chain of events.
I also understand that the recused prosecutor is on record as saying that the "victim" has been positively identified as the burglar.

Now as to the chain of events leading to the death, I lack understanding of just how that played out. At first blush I can only assume errors were made in escalating things that led to a confrontation.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. Good to know, too. Bad decisions all around I guess.

I hope the facts can come out, whatever that may be, without third parties inserting agendas and proper justice meted out where deserved.

It's probably too late for that, unfortunately.

The news paper from that town where shooting took place said the only call the police had taken about theft from that area had been made by the young man who did the shooting.He had left his truck unlocked a few weeks before and some one had stolen a pistol from it. The police stated that there had been no reports of burglary in the neighborhood.
