HOUSTON, Texas – The mother of Ahmaud Arbery, Wanda Cooper Jones, attended the funeral of George Floyd and attendees who saw her said her presence at the procession was ‘powerful’. Cooper Jones told Muir that she "needed” to go to Houston to show support for Floyd’s family. Cooper Jones also added that the protests and rallies over Floyd’s death has given her some peace in her own son’s slaying. She told Muir that Arbery would be proud of her activism, her presence in Houston and the journey she’d embarked on to get him justice.

SATILLA SHORES, Ga. – A group which emerged under the name “Justice for Travis and Greg McMichael” is fake.

The battle between users who actually supported the McMichaels and the users seeking justice for Arbery, took over the page. “Justice for Gregory and Travis McMichael” was created (or -more accurately- renamed) to poke fun at racist Christians and to inflame racial tensions. When it was started in 2017, the group was called “Christians Against Google” and parodied fundamentalists trying to bring down “Satanic” Google with prayer.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. – The February shooting death of a 25-year-old man who friends say was jogging in a suburban Brunswick neighborhood is in the hands of the Hinesville District Attorneys Office. No one disputes that the son of a former Brunswick District Attorney’s Office investigator shot and killed Ahmaud Arbery, but he was not charged because he claimed he was acting within the scope of a citizen’s arrest. Because of the shooter’s family connection with Glynn County law enforcement officials, the homicide case was first transferred to Ware County. It’s an ongoing thing out here.”McMichael later told police he suspected that Arbery was burglarizing houses under construction at in the Brunswick neighborhood. Jason Vaughn, Ahmaud’s former football coach at Brunswick High School, suspects his shooting was a case of mistaken identity.
