This page is a joke. Nobody gives a damn if a black person is running. Illinois v Wardlow discussed a person (race doesn't matter) running from the police, only after observing the uniformed police enter the area, while in a high crime area (i.e. a documented drug area, area with an increase in burglaries and violent crime). Whoever made this page is ridiculous. Onursides (talk) 14:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
'Fleeing a trespassing incident' removal.
"trespassing incident" implies that a trespass misdemeanor had been committed.
- Wrong. In most states, there is an offense of trespass violation also, which is not a misdemeanor.
- Georgia Code Title 16. Crimes and Offenses § 16-7-21.(d) "A person who commits the offense of criminal trespass shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." --JollyTom 15:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
No cited sources make this claim. This is a link to tresspass under Georgia law Georgia Code Title 16. Crimes and Offenses § 16-7-21. This link Criminal Trespassing Law notes in "many states, laws require there be a warning" ... "or a locked door" but no warning had been given https://nypost.com/2021/11/12/cops-planned-on-giving-ahmaud-arbery-trespassing-warning/ and the door was not locked.
- This is misleading. You talk about "in many states", but in Georgia, where this happened, there is no need for a warning. You are just inserting a red herring.
- Georgia Code Title 16. Crimes and Offenses §6-7-21."(b) A person commits the offense of criminal trespass when he...(3) Remains upon the land or premises of another person...after receiving notice from the owner..." --JollyTom 15:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
"Fleeing" requires running from danger. Arbery was out running Ahmaud Arbery: What you need to know about the case. No source was cited claiming that Arbery was specifically fleeing. Running & fleeing not being the same thing. --JollyTom 16:47, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Fleeing commonly defined online means "to run away or escape from a dangerous or otherwise negative situation." A situation of being in someone's house or property without permission, is certainly negative, and often dangerous.
- Wikipedia's [Content_removal essay] states "When information is unsourced, and it is doubtful any sources are available for the information, it can be boldly removed." The "fleeing" claim was unsourced.--JollyTom 15:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
****As a longtime reader and supporter of Wikipedia, I am disturbed at the overall substance and tone of your edits. It's as if you have a preconceived agenda when looking at edits and additions to this entry. You delete factual information, even when it is cited properly, if it doesn't further your narrative. I have not seen that on Wikipedia before. It is usually a place where contributors can post factual information related to the subject, as long as it is properly cited. Readers are entitled to have the most information available presented to them. It just seems like in this case, you are bending over backwards in contortions to push a c ertain narrative, and in doing so, you are denying the readers the benefit of getting a more complete picture.****
- "I am disturbed at the overall substance and tone of your edits." These are all my contributions [[1]] which go back to 2006. Please cite examples of "a preconceived agenda". --JollyTom 21:58, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
"Fleeing" or "Running From" Citation needed
Multiple sources [2] [3] establish that Arbery was out for a jog. However the claim that Arbery was "running from" as a fact (rather than an allegation) remains unsourced and so following [Verifiability norms] a [| Citation needed] has been added.--JollyTom 23:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
chasing a burglary suspect "in hot pursuit".
The full "hot pursuit" quote from George Barnhill, District Attorney of Waycross is: "It appears Travis McMichael,Greg McMichael, and Bryan William were following, in hot pursuit, a burglary suspect, with solid firsthand probable cause, in their neighborhood, and asking/ telling him to stop." And concludes "For the above and foregoing reasons, it is our conclusion there is insufficient probable cause to issue arrest warrants at this time" george-barnhill-letter
This is a link to the current "criminal investigation" of "possible prosecutorial misconduct" by the district Attorneys initially involved. gbi-receives-request-ag-carr-conduct-investigation-handling-ahmaud-arbery
There appears to be additional context for the reader in this example of "Running while black" that could be added to the page, perhaps?--JollyTom 23:11, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
