ATLANTA - A Georgia investigator testified on Thursday that one of the three white defendants accused of chasing down and killing Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was running in a South Georgia neighborhood, heard another defendant use a racist slur moments after firing the shotgun blasts that ended Mr. Arbery's life.
 
The explosive revelation, suggesting overt racism was at play in the case, came in a hearing in Brunswick, Ga., that ended with Judge Wallace E. Harrell of Glynn County Magistrate Court determining that sufficient probable cause existed to support the murder charges brought against the three men.

Mr. Dial said that Travis McMichael had used racial epithets numerous times in past social media posts and text messages. Mr. Dial said that in one instance, Mr. McMichael, who runs a tour boat company, said he appreciated working on the water because there were no black people there. In another instance, Mr. Dial said that Mr. McMichael, responding to a video posted to social media, said it would have been better if someone had "blown" a black person's "head off."
 
Mr. Dial also said that Mr. McMichael had a Confederate flag sticker on the toolbox of his truck. And he said that Mr. Bryan also used racial epithets in text messages unrelated to the shooting.

@mypeez : This is why I feel the 2nd Amendment (that I fully support) has gone a bit too far. Protect yourself and your property on tour own land all you want. But it should stop there. Unless we're being invaded by foreign governments or terror groups.
These idiots would have never tried to stop or apprehend these guys without their guns. They all look like they were a cheese burger away from a heart attack to begin with.
