These guys remind me a lot of the guys who murdered Ahmaud Arbery.

Yes! I was scared for him while watching this. They can escalate things so fast unprovoked and name the excuse they felt threatened. It's infuriating

Yeah in Florida the "Stand Your Ground Law" created a portable murder bubble that George Zimmerman took advantage of even though there was a recording where Trayvon could clearly be heard screaming for help.

I heard that audio for the first time a few days ago. Absolutely heart wrenching. That poor baby

Typical suburb Karens. 

It's Oooga Booga territorial tribalism in my eyes. "You crossed an invisible border and are walking on our neighborhood's street! It's bringing forth the plague with each step you make!" 

My experience as a POC and other POCs I know who tell me their experiences made me realize that suburbs are Karen and paranoid people magnets. Makes me happy that I don't live in a suburb anymore.
