      @Oressie Simmons what does his past JUST LIKE ARBERY have to do with that moment? In Floyd's case no one said he DIDNT break the law, the argument is why did he get murdered IN CUSTODY. In the Arbery case, unless you have the proof we dont, he broke no law on February 23. No reports of theft, no criminal trespassing
      And to be clear under Georgia's laws
      The Mcmichaels need to prove 4 conditions for citizens arrest
      First hand witness to a crime, and said crime needs to be a felony
      Trespassing in Georgia is a misdemeanor, and the owner, the video, both investigation's found no proof of felony burglary.
      So what he did in 2017, 2019, 2 months prior has no bearing on the events of February 23 and the Mcmichaels defense of citizens arrest. In fact UNDER Georgia's laws, if they were not lawful for that arrest, they committed a felony as they had no right to detain him. Which now leads to the point most conservative whites hate to hear, gives the right of stand your ground to Arbery
      Now before your feelings get in the way, there is this thing Ben Shapiro says- FACT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS
      you can fact check me on Georgia law, on information. And the hammer has NOT been linked to a crime if there even was one
      So try harder, and you don't have to trust some random negro on the RUclips, you can call various legal entities in Georgia to educate yourself. The big key here is the did the Mcmichaels meet the conditions to warrant a citizen's arrest. That's must be proven first

It’s a damn shame and I would be irate if I was George Floyd’s family. His death wasn’t devastating enough, now the country is destroying itself and using the man’s name as an excuse to do so.

      @CJ Newsflash-I'm not a Democrat. Or a Republican. Let that shock sink in and disable your ability to function as a human being.
