'His White assailants were allowed to roam free *for months* after lynching him,' the progressive congresswoman tweeted.
The McMichaels have previously claimed that there was a struggle and that the shooting was in self-defense. They've pointed to Georgia's controversial"stand your ground" law to justify their actions. But the newly released video shows a very different version of the story. Additionally, a police report says that the father and son jumped in their truck with weapons to chase Arbery down after they saw him jog by.
A cross with flowers and a letter 'A' sits at the entrance to the Satilla Shores neighborhood where Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed on May 6 in Brunswick, GeorgiaNeither man has been arrested or criminally charged. But Tom Durden, an outside prosecutor assigned to examine the case, said this week that he plans to have a grand jury examine the evidence.
"I am of the opinion that the case should be presented to the grand jury of Glynn County for consideration of criminal charges against those involved in the death of Mr. Arbery," Durden said Tuesday."All I want to do is get justice for my son," he told the Associated Press."This is terrible. It could happen to anybody's kid."
Ocasio-Cortez, in a follow-up tweet, reminded her followers that many other black men, women and children have been killed in similar incidents in recent years. "At some point our country must meaningfully acknowledge that the killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Rekia Boyd, Tanisha Anderson, and countless others are not isolated incidents or 'bad apples,'" the progressive congresswoman wrote."It is systemic violence."
