Shaun King: Georgia Residents Mused Killing Black People in Facebook Group, Ahmaud Arbery Killing Followed

Ahmaud Arbery of Georgia was killed in Feb in an apparent
conspiracy that may have included several white community
residents.

Social justice worker Shaun King just broke a story tying the murder of Ahmaud Arbery to a secret Facebook group whose members publicly mused killing black people.

Writes King on Twitter:

"Neighbors have just sent me screenshots of other posts in their private Facebook group of Satilla Shores residents saying they indeed planned on killing the wrong (Black) people who came in their neighborhood if they got the chance to do so."

The entire Satilla Shores neighborhood was in on this. Texting, calling.

Texting, messaging each other to come out and help track Ahmaud.

People started grabbing their handguns, shotguns, getting in their trucks and tracking Ahmaud for nearly 5 minutes.

Then they killed him https://t.co/oBiLBmkfGL

BREAKING: Classmates of Travis McMichael, who shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery, said he was the single most racist man they ever knew.

Said it was obsessive.

Said the second they learned he killed Ahmaud that not a single person who knew him was shocked.

A lifelong open bigot.

Trump Still Silent on Serial Bomber Assassinating Black and Brown Folks in Austin

Austin, Texas police chief speaks to reporters after bombing
last week, (Huffington Post)

Last night the fourth terrorist bombing in Texas claimed two more casualties.

Two weeks and four bombs. But there is an element here that makes these crimes even more spectacular: The victims are black and brown, so Donald Trump is silent.

Imagine if the victims were white and lived in small-town Pennsylvania and Wisconsin?

From Shaun King at The Intercept:

Here’s what I know and what makes living in this country so damn exhausting: If the victims were white and the suspects were known to be Muslims, the president of the United States would care. In these cases, however, with no profile of the attacker available and a trail of black and brown victims, it seems like this square peg doesn’t fit into the round hole of Trump’s agenda. 

The United States has a white supremacist in the White House, with an emboldened base of white supremacists cheering this lunatic on.
