AJC March 2020

As the GBI arrests indicate, the two are charged with committing Aggravated Assault and Homicide. I don't care if he has a permit, I don't care if he's carrying openly or concealed, I really don't care what he thought he was doing, the simple fact is that what he did resulted in a man dying in the dirt on a road in Georgia and they need to stand to account for it.

Except it was not aimed at anyone. Open carry is legal in the State of Georgia with a permit. And FYI, this bill came about, like the Florida bill, because folks were being arrested for brandisous hing/improper exhibition during concealed carry. It also removes the limitation imposed on an individual that brandishes a firearm to avoid deadly conflict.

Here kiddo, I'll finally give you attention. You're hilarious! Good one.

And yet for all you've said about this the GBI arrested them and charged them (as the local DA should've to begin with). It's a damn shame it takes a leaked video and public outcry for murderous criminal actions such as these to even warrant an arrest. Now, because of the good ol' boys in good ol' Georgia we have to deal with more racial tensions. That's what optics are all about, you treat the situation with the gravity it warrants so that people don't accuse you of being part of the Klansmen running that poor kid down and gunning him down like a rabid dog in the street.

When you know the guy on the other end of the line, and that the DA will let you slide, then absolutely you do.
