The far right and far left

Actually, I am.  Because no one goes for a jog wearing boots and carrying a hammer.  It's obvious what he was up to.  Not to mention he had a criminal past.
 While it doesn't justify him getting shot to death, let's not make him into a tragic hero or any kind of hero. 

I was only talking about the Floyd case. I'd have to research the other one to make an informed decision

Ahmaud Arbery is the name.

Didn't he also try to take the guy's gun away from him, and that's when the shooting happened?

you're right obviously .. USC 1.2.324423223 clearly says that if you run away, jog through a neighborhood carrying a hammer, just look a little darker than a sicilian, that warrants the death penalty

I don't know what your getting at.  Are you saying white people are killing black people unjustified in large numbers or something?

That's exactly what happened.   The whole incident was recorded on a smartphone.  The two guys claim they were performing a citizen's arrest and Arbury resisted by going for one of their guns.

Definitely not true.  There's more black on black crime than white on black crime.  And police kill more white people than black people.  Those are the facts but apparently the liberal's don't care because it goes against their agenda.

One of the greatest Republican presidents of the 20th century, Ronald Reagan once said, "The problem with our liberal friends is not that they know nothing.  It's that they know so much that isn't so."

Far-right groups are spreading racist, false claims about shooting victim Ahmaud Arbery, analysts say

Far-right and neo-Nazi groups are spreading racist and false information about a black jogger who was fatally shot in Georgia to promote their agendas on social media platforms, according to organizations that monitor online extremist activity.

The campaigns gained traction after the release this month of a video showing the moments before Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was shot dead in February. Two white men were arrested and charged in the shooting after the video drew widespread attention to the incident.

Some of the online posts, which include racist language, memes and graphics, claim that Arbery was carrying a hammer and wearing boots when he was killed, as the groups try to create false narratives about his death, analysts said.

In the video, Arbery is wearing a white T-shirt, shorts and running shoes. Security footage shows a man in similar clothing who is believed to be Arbery entering a house under construction just before the shooting. The owner of the property has said nothing was stolen from the site.

“The most remarkable finding is that an alternate narrative was created, most notably that Arbery was carrying a hammer and wearing Timberland boots – two claims which CCTV footage and mainstream media reporting does not support,” said a senior terrorism analyst for the Middle East Media Research Institute, which is collecting information related to the case. The analyst spoke on the condition of anonymity because of security concerns.

The groups portray the two arrested men, Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, as victims, the analysts said. Both men have been charged with murder and aggravated assault.

Maybe Facebook groups and e-mail chain letters aren't the most reliable sources of information.
