Ya anybody but a cop gets out of their truck, armed with a gun, and tells me to stop, they can go fuck themselves. They had 0 right to ask him to stop regardless of what they wanted to talk about.
The fact that he tried to run and they cornered him is even more fucked and a natural fight or flight response is to fight them since flight didn't work.
Kinda hard to believe a far righter is standing up for intimidation tactics by armed thugs Modern conservatives are so fucked

They just stood in the street and asked ahmaud to talk. Ahmaud went straight to punching them which is unacceptable. Guns are legal in This country, did you know? Asking someone to talk while in possession of a firearm is no different than without.
In Georgia intimidating someone with a gun is called Brandishing A Weapon . It can get you a an aggravated assault charge and 20 years . If a person is basically willing to risk the rest of their life to force me to have a conversation then I have to assume the worst about them . They are going to kill me and rape my corpse . Too fucking stupid to understand basic weapons laws never occurred to me , until now . They didn’t need to have guns to commit that crime, hammers or knives would be enough .

The video doesn't really support the notion that any conversation happened at all. The truck was stopped in the middle of the street. If I'm jogging and a redneck hops out of a pickup truck in front of me while another stands in the bed with a gun, I'm going to have to assume some shit is going down. If I'm black and that happens, I'm pretty sure today is my last day on the planet.

I never claimed CNN doesn't support the democratic party. I claimed "CNN doesn't represent liberals nor conservatives. They represent the wealthy establishment."

So you are racist towards a redneck then are allowing discrimination of rednecks by blacks. Okay.
Im asauming that you would also attack that redneck who ia holding a shotgun too? LOL. I would stop and say "whats up guys?" No matter what color they are.

Melty must not have watched the videos or read even the rednecks statements.
The rednecks even said they chased him down because they assumed he was a burglar responsible for recent break ins because he was running. They weren't looking to have a normal conversation. They saw a black man jogging and assumed the absolute worst then killed him when he refused to stop for their intimidation tactics.
As a gun owner myself, if someone pulled in front of me with their truck and stepped out with guns and told me to stop, and they weren't cops, I'd fuckin run too and if they tried to stop me then shit's going down especially if I'm armed.

Agreed, but my point is simply that he had a right to react with a fight or flight response and I was trying to speak to the gun toter side of melty.

Blocking the road with your truck while standing next to it with a gun in your hand is not an appropriate way to break the ice with a stranger . Let me know if you need me to explain the whole shit vs shinola debacle . Redneck is not a race , it’s a choice , nothing wrong with discriminating against people for the choices they make . You know who really hates rednecks Especially the poor ones , billionaire elitists from New York . Trump probably finds his base repulsive .

Redneck isn't a race. There are rednecks of all colors and creeds. I don't even know the skin color of these particular rednecks. I watched the video, but it wasn't obvious on that. I just know that running around harassing people while armed in the back of a pickup truck is a decidedly redneck thing to do.
You tell me, though: What legitimate purpose is there to chase down and approach a stranger at gunpoint?
Just for reference, aiming a gun at someone is called "Assault With a Deadly Weapon." Grabbing the gun of someone who is aiming it at you is called "Self-Defense."

What makes a redneck a redneck? Living in the rural south? Just just living in rural areas in general? Poor? Owns a truck? Like to hunt & drink? I'm curious.
I used to kinda hate people I thought were "rednecks" too when I was growing up. I have spent the majority of my life in the city, and grew up entirely in the city. Then I had to move to rural Wyoming for two years on a work transfer.
I was surrounded by what most of y'all would consider "rednecks". While yes of course you'd come across your racist and completely ignorant "redneck", the majority of them I met were really great people believe it or not. The type of people that would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it. Regardless of color.
You're right that being "redneck" isn't a race but stereotyping large groups of people is never a good thing. Check out Anthony Bourdain, who traveled the world -- and was a self admitted elitist east coast liberal. He was very outspoken in the fact that some of the nicest people he met along his travels were rural, small town, "fly over country" people.
I'm just saying.
But anyway as far as the Aubrey incident, that father & son were in the wrong and need to go to prison. Even if Aubrey was burglarizing homes in the area (I'm not saying he did; I'm just saying for argument's sake) you pick up the phone and call the police and let them take it from there. You don't track down the individual, armed, incite a showdown and then subsequently gun that person down.

That movie Enlil linked was a take on Homer's Odyssey. Deliverance dueling banjos I hear.
