Because two white men were seemingly looking for a kill and another innocent black man was, unfortunately, going to unknowingly cross their paths at “their” right time for murder.
Now, yet another “trial of a century” is gearing up for center stage as a white father and son, Gregory and Travis McMichael, were arrested May 7 in the death of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, who was jogging through a Georgia neighborhood on February 23 when he was racially profiled and murdered.
The McMichaels claimed Arbery fit the description of a person suspected in a “rash of break-ins” in the neighborhood at that time.
Travis McMichael, 34, was armed with a shotgun and shot Arbery multiple times as they struggled over it.
Arbery died in the middle of the street and the McMichaels went back home to live out their peaceful white lives until a 36-second video of the deadly altercation surfaced and public outcry began.
