Ahmaud Arbery

Ahmaud Arbery, a fit athlete, was out jogging near his home on a Sunday afternoon in Brunswick, Georgia when he was murdered. Two armed white supremacists chased Ahmaud down and shot him at least two times, killing him on the spot. Ahmaud was unarmed, broke no laws, and did nothing wrong. He was only 25 years old when he died.

The Georgia Bureau of investigation has arrested three of the criminals involved, but have yet to hold one more person accountable who played an active and willing role in Ahmaud’s murder — Robert Rash. When a homeowner shared with Rash that there may be people walking onto his property, Rash referred him to Gregory McMichael.

Gregory McMichael was a police officer in Glynn County, but due to his refusal to attend trainings related to de-escalating and use of force on the job, he was banned from carrying a gun on duty, and restricted from doing any “real police work.” While he never attended these courses that address situations likely to result in violence, he did manage to attend courses related to fear-mongering about Islam. Rash improperly empowered McMichael in this case, resulting in armed vigilantes from the community coordinating with police to hunt down Ahmaud. They did not catch him that day, but they did just 12 days later.

Under Georgia’s Party to a Crime Law, if someone intentionally advises, encourages, hires, or counsels someone to commit a crime, then they are considered part of the commission of the crime. Additionally if someone intentionally helps, assists, encourages or incites a crime, then they are part of the commission of the crime.

DEMAND charges be brought against Glynn County Police Officer Robert Rash, who actively facilitated the murder of Ahmaud.
