We don’t know what is going to happen in the case where a Black jogger was reportedly murdered by a retired law enforcement investigator and his son. Well, we hope we don’t know. In any case, his will be yet another name we will not forget – much to the chagrin of neo-fascists who are once again churning out the BS to save a face they don’t even have.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

On what would have been Ahmaud Arbery\u2019s birthday, the Ga chapter of the NAACP drew together a group of activists, organizers, politicians, religious leaders and local community members for a rally outside the Glynn County Courthouse. It came less than 24 hours after a father and son were arrested and charged with Arbery\u2019s murder in February as he was running down a neighborhood street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rally was one of a series of events on Friday to honor Arbery and to call for justice in the wake of the killing. Gregory McMichaels and his son Travis allegedly gunned down Arbery on Feb. 23, after they pursued him in their truck believing he was a burglar and while attempting to make a citizens arrest, according to them. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), who took over the case and charged the McMichaels, is investigating how the Arbery case was handled by the offices of the District Attorneys of the Brunswick and Waycross Judicial Circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today would have been Amaud’s 26th birthday. About 600 people came out on this day to honor him at the Glynn County Courthouse. Last night the father and son that murdered him were arrested two months after the shooting due to video and huge outrage – which should not have had to happen and would not have had to happen if it was anyone else. #justiceforahmaud<\/a><\/p>
