Donât just sit silently in anger/disgust/outrage/sadness. I wouldnât suggest someone watch the horrific video of this manâs murder. But if youâre not moved by words alone, donât blind yourself and turn away from this ugliness and what you can do to change it. Repost @colorofchange ăťăťăť #JusticeforAhmaud: District Attorneys George Barnhill and Jackie Johnson must RESIGN now! Text JUSTICE to 55156 to take action. Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was jogging near his neighborhood in Brunswick, GA on February 23 when he was chased down, shot, and killed in cold blood. His executioners were father & son, Gregory and Travis McMichael, two white men, who told police they believed Ahmaud fit the profile of a suspect. But the truth is: Ahmaudâs murder was an act of hatred and white supremacy. Worst of all, District Attorney George Barnhill, who later recused himself from the case, defended Ahmaudâs murderers by making the outrageous claim that Travis McMichael acted in self-defense and his actions fell within Georgiaâs citizen arrest laws. In his letter to the Glynn County police, he stated, "it appears {Travis and Gregory McMichael's} intent was to stop and hold this criminal suspect until law enforcement. Under Georgia law, it is perfectly legal." Barnhill also went on to state that there was no need for arrest. And it is because of Barnhill's suggestions to police that two months have gone by without an arrest or any form of accountability. Now, a district attorney in another county has finally decided to bring the case to a grand jury--but grand juries aren't convening in Georgia until after June 2. Instead of seeking justice, DA Barnhill abused his authority to exonerate the McMichaels in the media. And for this blatant attempt to cover up cold-blooded murder, District Attorney Gregory Barnhill must immediately resign. Ahmaudâs death is akin to a modern-day lynching. We must act NOW to end this racist terror. Enough is enough. We are demanding justice for Ahmaud -- we refuse to lose any more of our loved ones to these reckless acts of violence.
