Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery was on a jog in Brunswick on a brisk February morning when two white men — Gregory J. McMichael and Travis J. McMichael — started chasing him down in their truck. The father and son duo reportedly believed the 25-year-old black man, who was unarmed, was responsible for several robberies that had occurred in the area.
In a disturbing video of the incident shared by the Arbery family’s attorney S. Lee Merritt, Gregory — a former police officer — is on the phone with 911 when he yells at Arbery to stop. He ultimately gets out of the car, an altercation occurs and Arbery is fatally shot.
Still, no arrests have been made — and T.I. wants answers.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, the Hustle Gang boss shared a photo of the two men along with their current addresses and birthdates.
“WE Demand Justice for Ahmaud!!!” he wrote in the caption. “No MO Talk…I’m just sick of seeing, videos, posting pics & stories like these over and over with NO ACTION TAKEN!! MESSAGE BLACK MEN & WOMEN…WE ARE BEING HUNTED!!! These aren’t mistakes or coincidences…ITS WAR..So treat it as such. IT WONT STOP UNTIL WE STOP IT!!! #UsorElse.”
Tip followed up with a second post regarding the incident and shared a message from the NAACAP.
“AHMAUD ARBERY WAS RUNNING IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND WAS CHASED AND MURDERED BY TWO WHITE SUPREMACISTS. CONTACT THE LIBERTY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO DEMAND THAT GREGORY AND TRAVIS MCMICHAEL BE CHARGED FOR THE MURDER OF AHMAUD ARBERY.”
T.I. added in the caption, “IT WONT STOP UNTIL WE STOP IT!! #USorELSE. #JusticeForAhmaud.”
According to NBC News, a prosecutor promised to take the case to a grand jury earlier this week, but Merritt argued authorities don’t need to wait for a grand jury to make arrests.
“There are a number of agencies that can go out and make these arrests today,” Merritt said. “That is our demand. The men who murdered Ahmaud should be prosecuted.”

Merritt reached out to District Attorney Thomas Durden, an outside prosecutor based in Liberty County assigned to the case, to issue an arrest warrant and indict the McMichael men.
On Wednesday (May 6), Merritt told reporters, “We respect that there is a legal process that must be followed in order for formal indictments to take place, but for the safety of this community, for the respect of Ahmaud Arbery’s memory, we demand that … these men be arrested.”
Meek Mill, 2 Chainz and LeBron James are among the many celebrities speaking out.

This is why the United States are not in a position to lecture other countries about the way they handle their social and political businesses. As long as the States are endorsing such criminal behavior towards the African American community, they will never have an ounce of credibility when it comes to justice and democracy. It’s been decades since this bullshit is going unpunished and each president has done nothing to change the situation. From Bush to Obama to Trump, it’s the same agenda. And y’all motherfuckers wonder why the American people feels less concern about the damn elections anymore.
This type of violence happens everywhere and everyday. It is not just a USA problem. What we need are rehabs, educational courses and reform programs in prisons. We also need to get gang units together to squash all gang activity starting with Crips, Bloods and all organized crime/violent biker gangs. Is that going to happen? No. If they fixed the problems, nobody would be in jail. They need prisons to operate so they need criminals. You bring up elections. I think the major concern people have with elections is that they’re fixed, no voter ID allows that to happen. Any old Juan, Pablo or Consuela can vote without speaking English. I’m Hispanic, so didn’t throw around the race card. Anyway, I see this all the time. Bus loads of “voters” who don’t even know how to form a line or speak no English voting in OUR elections. That is the problem with elections not what politicians do about crime and murders. Killing is as old as time.
A Hispanic guy named “Curtis.” LOL. I’m guessing you no speako the Spanisho and act and talk white AF. LOL
I ain’t talkin about violence in general. I talk about specific crimes made against a specific community without the perpetrators being worried of any prosecution, trial or sentence being issued against them. THIS is the problem. And the president of this country (who usually throws big words on national television when it comes to justice and democracy) should take a stand against these crimes that remain unpunished. This lack of action encourages any unstable person to commit such criminal acts since no consequences are being taken by the justice system. That’s what it is.
Anytime one black dude is killed by a white, the media uses it as a focus piece to push and push. They want another Rodney King. It is pathetic. Loudmouth tools like this Ff@@g Total Idiot T.I. are brought out to act like they care and pretend they’re smart activist. T. O. Is a major dip chit. The media buried a story when a huge black lady beat a 90 year old Mexican man with a brick in South L.A. . She did not get charged with a hate crime and got a slap on the wrist only because he almost died. Did you see that story get national attention? Chicago black killing each other is another prime example of media silence. Where I live a black dude robbed some 711 convenient stores and killed a clerk who was Sikh. Did T.I. speak up for that dead man? Of course not. This is a divide and conquer tactic timed right. They needed something to anger people so they’re not demanding states open up. This is BS.
can i get a link of the black woman beating up a mexican? thanks.
So you expect TI to have an opinion on every single issue that involves blacks committing crimes? What an unreasonable expectation.
Hey T.I., are you gonna speak up about the security guard shot in the head in a Michigan Dollar store? Three black men arrested for his death. You should speak up since the security guard was black. Oh, wait, no whites involved so I guess it’s not worth your “activist” time.
Facts man, it’s just sad. Everybody wants attention to themselves and they are using a young man that never asked to be a martyr. justice for this young man (although we all pray for it) doesn’t solve the income inequality. It’s more bold to bring about solutions that may be controversial.
Income inequality? Ya know what solves that? Getting off your ass, and building a business. Nobody can expect to be wealthy if they work for another man. Build your own business. It’s not up to the government to decide who is more successful than another person.
fun fact: T.I.’s views and opinions are simply those of his jooish handlers. He is just a puppet used to push their anti-white agenda.
And, anti-second amendment
Sure. Anti second amendment. The guy who was ARRESTED FOR SILENCERS AND MACHINE GUNS? You tinfoil hat joo Haters are all morons. They control the banks! They control entertainment! LOL. I’m happy with how both are working out, thanks. Jesus was one of them, I guess you hate him too, right?
Not “we”. A specific person was murdered. It’s not like this is common at all. Very rare, luckily.
As sad as this is; this will stopped being talked about as soon as any credible evidence shows that this was legal. The laws out there are different, and TI should know that. But, it’s better to make this racially charged and push an agenda. Race relations have taken a hit since Obama was president. It’s like the 80s and 90s all over again. People are so quick to use there platform irresponsibly when all the facts haven’t even come to light. When there was videos of white kids being beat up by black kids in a school bus; where was TI, LeBron James, and Meek Mill? So easy to look a blind eye when it doesn’t fit what you’re trying to push. “We” ain’t being hunted. They all live in gated communities. Does it ever make anyone wonder why the rich and privileged want to tell other people how bad they go it?
Didn’t they already come out and said that the man did infact rob some of those houses. These people just caught him and he took off. That’s the reason why it was recorded, because they kept telling him to stop and he refused. I’m sure everyone here would’ve acted in some sort of similar way, but because these white folks look hill Billy enough, they’re being labeled as racist for shooting a robber that’s been terrorizing their homes. I don’t care if you’re black, white, or brown, if you break into my home, the only color I’m seeing, is red.
Congratulions, you’re a dumb fuck ! The man was actually jogging in the neighborhood when these rednecks saw him and decided to be the judge and the jury and sentenced him with multiple gun shots in the chest ! No evidence proved he was the actual robber who burglarized several homes in the neighborhood. Therefore these stupid fucks should have reflect twice before killing the man with reasonable doubt. That’s why this case – like many previous similar cases – is revolting. I wouldn’t have this position if the man was actually caught in the act burglarizing a home. But in this case, the perpetrators saw a man jogging in the streets randomly and decided he was the infamous burglar without any compelling evidence to back up their judgment. FOH !
The most racist people are the ones who comment with terms like “redneck”. There are people who want this to a race thing so bad. No one really knows anything. The media should’ve covered this to begin with. Not wait 2 months to do so. Nor should law enforcement waited 2 months to do something about this. Black people kill each other Disproportionately every day. No one says anything about it. If they are white though; the media and our so-called “heroes” want to make this a kit race before knowing any real facts.
Actually you dumb fuck, he was seen entering a house under construction, but because of Florida laws, since the house technically didn’t have windows or doors, it’s not considered breaking in. So he was never charged with that. He was seen a couple times looking at houses, and the whole jogging bullshit would fly, but he was jogging in a neighborhood he didn’t even live near by. Wait till the whole story develops before you cry wolf, we still don’t know jackshit other than one of the guys that shot him, was an ex law enforcer, and that even when he was asked to stop, he kept running, and he was shot after wrestling with one of them.
Okay… let me see… actually you sound like a pussy fart. His murderers said they saw him running down their road. That’s it. They saw nothing else and they definitely didn’t witness the victim breaking into an under-construction home. Therefore they didn’t have any grounds to shoot a man randomly just because he was running down their road and allegedly looked like a suspect according to what they heard from some neighbors. You don’t take a human’s life based on some shit you just heard goddamn it ! Killing a man is serious enough to make sure you know your victim before doing do. The victim didn’t mean any threat until they jumped him. What would you do if two men jumped you in the streets ? I guess you would take it like a bitch since you blame the victim for wresting with one of his murderers. Plus the victim didn’t have to comply to any order given by his killers since none of them were actuel police officers (you said it yourself one of them was retired). FOH !
Oh lord here we go….
Black lives matter only if a white person takes it. If black people are being “hunted” by any race it’s their own. Simple statistical search will prove that.
You not being hunted, TI you fool. I hate when race hustlers like him and Lebron acting sh*t like this happens once a Week.
We wont pull up on white people murdering black people in broad daylight but we always ready to pull up on a brother who stepped on the new Jordans….smh
Yeah but dem new Jordan’s so white and clean tho!
it is like a powder keg down there in the south around atlanta and other places. white southerners rednecks what ever and black supremacists both racist both hate each others guts.
WYPIPO BE RAYCISS N SHIEEEEEEEEEET… WE WUZ KAAAAAAAAAAAANGZ
This coming from the same “man” who was caught with submachine guns with silencers and some coke then turned informant.. T.I. actually means The Informant.
Yeah well I want T.I. to play me in a movie so he can tell my story of how the police unlawfully shot me, and say what you want about T.I., but can you buy the Ocean Front property he has for sell ?.
This guy shouldn’t have been killed. Just call the police if you think he was the burglar. It looks as if he was murdered. There’s really no way around it unless there’s something we don’t know. However, black people need to hold their own accountable and be as irate as they are over this when they kill each other. I’m pretty sure that there’s a white person who gets robbed and killed in an inner city black neighborhood at least once a month. Carjackings, home invasions, theft. You don’t see white people say, “aw man we’re being hunted!” No one is hunting anyone. There’s stupid people everywhere. I’m tired of this mother fucker T.I. man. If anything, shit like THIS creates more racism. Black people are mad at white people. White people are defensive because the rest of them didn’t kill anyone, but it’s ok to generalize white people. Can’t generalize black people though. That’s racist.
Whoa there buddy! You think you can just hop on here, make sense, d call it like it is? LOL. You’re spot on unfortunately. These double standards suck. Dude was murdered. That’s whack. This isn’t some race war, or whites hunting. Lacks as that moron Meek Mill or bigger idiot TI would say. Sad on so many levels.
Correct me if I’m wrong here. Isn’t T.I. the guy who raps about selling drugs, shooting people and doing whatever possible to make money? Didn’t he also get thrown in prison for machine guns and silencers? That’s definitely the right person to speak on race relations and crime.LOL
Well laugh all you want, but I am trying to get T.I. to play me in a movie so he can tell the story of how the Police unlawfully shot me, the police fired 20 bullets at me, and I lived, and I had no gun.
And in breaking news 30 black people gunned 30 other black people down in the amount of time it took t.i to write his little rant…go after the real problem and its black people killing black people that are 13% of the population and one of the races with the least amount of guns and ammo wants war with 60% plus of the population that possesses a majority of the countries guns ammo and tactical equipment lets see how that plays out
What does this particular issue have to do with black on black crime? And why can’t they exist separately? Let’s say blacks do more to lower the percentages of crimes committed against one another. Do the crimes committed from outsiders stop of a sudden? Do you look to include other race’s internal issues, when an outsider commits a crime against them?
*all
It’s to point out the clear hypocrisy by SJWS like T.I who say black people are being “hunted” by white people when black people are actually killing black people at an incomprehensible rate and that “black lives matter” to these people only when a white person takes it.
Black people care about blacks dying at the hands of there own. The news shows it every time someone dies from violence. Calling out TI is cool (seeing how he promoted a lifestyle that glorifies the underworld/streets), but the narrative that blacks do not show attention towards their own (because of how high the percentages are of murder against one another) needs to die imo. It’s ludicrous to expect a race to control every single being within it. It’s obvious that it’s a problem, and may blacks care about it.

Does anyone know if his daughters hyman is still intact? Asking for a friend…..
I was shot in the arm by the police, and I was unarmed when I was shot by the police, and I wrote a book about it, and now I am trying to get T.I. to play me in the movie, am trying to join in on the fight to stop unlawful police shootings and tell my story of how I was unlawfully shot by the police.
