in fact, it was only ten weeks later after protests when the video of the killing taken by one of the men went viral that travis mcmichael and his father, greg, and ronnie bryan, were even arrested. they were eventually charged and now go to trial. you can intentionally and deliberately kill another person in self defence and not have committed murder. you would be not guilty. and it is still self defence if they chased him? that is because they were attempting to execute a citizen's arrest. ahmaud's case has already led to the scrapping of a civil war—era citizens arrest law in georgia. his mother told me she hoped somehow good would come out of this tragedy and the attention it has got. i hope that in losing ahmaud, that people that look like ahmaud will be able to jog, they will be able to run, they will be able to do whatever and be free.
