It seems to be perfectly legal in Georgia to shoot a home intruder.

The law has three stipulations, one of which must fit:

The intrusion is “violent and tumultuous” and the resident believes its purpose is “assaulting or offering personal violence” to someone inside.

The intruder is “not a member of the family or household,” meaning you can shoot strangers who break in, but not someone who lives with you and just lost the door key.

The resident believes the intruder broke in to commit a felony and deadly force is required to stop it.


He was not in a home. He was not intruding. This does not apply. But even so, I don't believe one of those conditions would apply.

Where's your proof he didn't?

You're the one who starting mouthing of saying he's an entirely innocently guy. But you've got no evidence of this.

We saw all this in the Trayvon Martin case. Some people just never learn.


Innocent until proven guilty is how we do it on this side of the Atlantic.

You are the one saying he was burglarizing a place, where's your proof of it?


There's no mention of him having anything in his hands that would be taken from any homes.


There's nothing I saw in the video like a pack that they could say was hiding something.


And again, you're wrong. I'm not saying he's entirely innocent.


You really need to learn to read.


I'm saying that the men who shot him had no reason to shoot him, for they are not the police. They followed him, and shot him. The moment they followed him, all the excuses you keep using in their defense vanishes.

No evidence, thus he wasn't.
Unless you've evidence he was...

Have you been to the trial of these fellows and seen all the evidence laid out before the court?

If not, then I don't think you should be making such comments.

Just because he wasn't carrying anything that was nicked doesn't mean he wasn't attempting to carry out a burglary.

If he was, then those fellows seem to be acting according to the law.

Considering they were JUST arrested and charged two months after the fact, there's yet to be evidence to present.


And why it took so long, because of people needing to recuse themselves from the case because they knew the father of the main shooter. An ex cop.


Who should have known better.

Care to open the hole in your argument further?

How do you know there's no proof he burglarised a property?

Are you familiar with his whereabouts and his activities prior to his killing?

No, you aren't.

What holes?

Just because someone is arrested and charged doesn't mean they did it.

Often is the case people are found Not Guilty.

One hopes everybody understands that the cops and prosecutor initially accepted the self-defense claim of Cletus and Li'l Cletus, and said "Go on home. No charges, no problem." The shooting occurred over two months ago.
Had it not been for the random chance of a driver in the neighborhood filming, Cletus and Li'l Cletus'd be sitting back drinking beer and bragging about how they got 'em one.
But it's OK. They're still sitting back drinking beer and bragging. See, they haven't been arrested. We're just gonna wait and see what a grand jury comes up with. Shouldn't take more'n a month or two. Or six. Or ten.

Why have 3 prosecutor's refused to prosecute?

You obviously don't entirely believe that great staple of the English Common Law because you think it doesn't apply to those men who you are accusing of being murderers.


They will have their day in court. You are the one who says they shouldn't have been charged.

Since when is shooting unarmed 'suspects' by non-police according to any law?

No doubt, if or when they are found Not Guilty, you and your little woke friends will start crying, call it a miscarriage of justice and for them still to be locked up anyway.

That's how it usually works.

Why are you all still trying to reason with a racist?

If blackshit lived in georgia, he'd fit right in with these 2 "good ol boys".
