Yeah, a group changed its name from "Christians Against Google". I'd hate to be dumped inside of their heads trying to get out while armed only with reason and logic . . . .
More pointless gun violence

Did he live in that neighborhood?
Does Georgia have a stand your ground law?
There’s more to this story!
I wonder if in their own twisted way, they thought the video would protect them in some manner around a citizen's arrest and it turned out differently than they expected. We are fortunate that he did not erase the vid. Either way IMO he is at least connected to the vigilante justice aspect if not the murder. It will be interesting to follow.
Meanwhile, also in Georgia, former NBA guard Shannon Brown was arrested for shooting a rifle at two people who he mistakenly thought were breaking into his house. No one was killed. There isn't any video evidence. My guess is that he'll likely do time for this.
Dude they straight up hunted this guy down and blew his guts out.
Even if he had just burgled their home, what they did was still murder.
Assuming he actually thought there were people breaking into his house, no I don’t.
I feel like if you replace “Shannon Brown” with someone like “Reece Witherspoon” this story would be a light-hearted punchline.
I think just might be a correct analysis under Georgia law.
The only question I have regarding that is understanding where Brown was when he took the shot(s). If he was in his house and legitimately feared for his life, then maybe a stand your ground defense would apply. I don't know enough about the facts though to advise . . . .
Stand your ground doesn’t apply if you actively seek someone out as is clearly visible in the video.
What they did was tantamount to shooting him in the back
Yeah, I agree with regards to the Arbery shooting.
That said, in the post you're responding to I was talking about Brown shooting a long gun at folks he thought was breaking into his house. I wasn't talking about the Arbery shooting.
There are a couple of tidbits in the article linked below that add a little detail to the discussion about the Arbery shooting. (1) The retired police officer had arrested Arbery for shoplifting in 2018, so he knew the deceased, and (2) the retired police officer had worked as an investigator for the two DAs who didn't file charges. BTW the current prosecutor handling the case is the 3rd. The first refused to authorize an arrest because of the past prosecutor/investigator relationship she had with the retired cop. The second said he didn't find probable cause, and then recused himself because he too had worked with the retired police officer. The third prosecutor asked for help from the GBI to determine whether probable cause existed for arresting the two guys who followed Arbery, and then ended up shooting Arbery. The GBI had little trouble finding more than enough probable cause to arrest these guys.
The current prosecutor says that he'll submit the facts to a grand jury . . . who knows when a grand jury will be convened with the pandemic.

So, then your answer to Lucy’s “Yes or No” question is 8?
You seem a little defensive. These are stressful times, so it’s understandable.
lol I'm not stressed. News said he lived 8 miles away. U ok? So you're telling me how I should answer questions?
Where did I tell you anything? I asked. That's what those squiggly punctuation marks at the end of sentences mean.
Try to get outside today. I hear it can be an effective response to cabin fever.
Turns out there may have been a reason it took a video to get action on this case...
