One other important thing to learn: Text messages are discoverable.
Let’s say in Minecraft - I have a friend. No texting, no emails, no social media, he likes face to face conversations even if it means taking an hour, where a five second text would work.

Let’s just say he is very careful.

I’m in the middle. I text. I email. I’m on social media, but I always assume it can be seen by the world and a screen name can be tracked down. So yeah, if this new socialist agenda takes off, it will be a re-education camp for me, in Minecraft.

Judge weighs bond. Prosecutor reads racist texts from father and son.
I don't like that they are using racist texts as an excuse to punish them before they have had a trial by refusing to set a bond. Being racist is not a crime in itself and even if it was, punishing them for it with no trial is not in keeping with our constitution. I would understand no bond if they were a flight risk but that is not what is happening there.
Bond should ONLY be used as insurance against someone who would otherwise flee. That being said, such texts COULD/SHOULD be used as evidence of their state of mind and motive during the trial. But yes, I agree, the texts SHOULD be irrelevant for a bond hearing, in my opinion. IANAL
I posted the update as a caution that what you say on line could come back and haunt you. I think we all know this, but it was a gentle reminder.
A shame how our first amendment rights come with such restrictions.
I would counter that it is NOT a restriction. They were allowed to engage in free speech, as we all are. However, we are not free from the consequences said speech. It is not unfair or unjust to say that we should all be accountable for what we say or do.
To me if you are held in jail by the government based on what you have previously written, and what you have said is not illegal speech, then
your 1st amendment rights have been violated.

Well none of this looks good. Apparently chase was more involved than the video shows. Evidence of video guy doing more chasing with fibers and dent from contact with Ahmaud on his pick up.

And then there is the Confederate sticker on the tool box.

How long before pick ups are racist?

More on this.

3rd guy really should have had an attorney before talking.

This guy does a pretty good job of saying the shooters are in a heap of trouble.

He says:

Trespass is not a felony in Georgia in this case because he did not steal anything or damage anything.

So can’t do a citizens arrest.

Castle doctrine is when your home against an intruder.

Stand your ground is for there.

Cannot use stand you ground when you initiate the the situation.

Video guy used his vehicle to illegally detain Ahmaud, a felony.
The article mentions this guy talked to authorities without a lawyer. Even took a lie detector test. Huge mistake. Never talk to authorities with no lawyer when the possibility of being accused of a crime exists. Somehow he worded something in a way that made him a part of the murder rather than just a witness to the murder. People forget that the job of the police is to find a crime. They are never looking to find an innocent person.

I would love to see the transcript of his interview. It only takes one slip up in wording to make you part of the crime.
He passed a lie detector test that he didn’t have a gun.

I guess General Flynn is a good example of why not to speak to the police.

I think he thought he was being a good witness.

The video guy in the truck coming up on the shooting has been arrested for murder.

I’ll love to hear all the experts on line explain this one.

Sister of one of the suspects shared on the internet a photo that I guess one of the suspects took of the victims dead body.

Well that will probably poison the jury pool in GA.

Police attempt to tase Ahmaud in park in 2017 video shows.

Hmmm.

...and that’s going to be a toughy given that these two bubbas chased the man, confronted him with a gun and did not simply wait for police to take over from a distance. Their lives were not threatened, he was running away, and the man didn’t commit a murder or was carrying 2 TVs on his back. Nope, just running...
Another tactic would be just to tail him at a distance in their truck or trucks till the popo showed up.
