The Georgia father and son charged in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery are back in court Friday to argue for their release on bond.

In the courtroom Friday, prosecutor Jesse Evans argued that ex-cop Gregory McMichaels and his son Travis pose a “significant danger” to the community and should not be released. He also said the elder McMichael has “vigilante views” and could potentially try obstructing the ongoing investigation.

2. No threat to public safety.

Interesting defense. Wonder if that includes everyone's public safety or just the white folks. If they weren't a threat to public safety they wouldn't have shot Ahmaud and wouldn't be in jail currently.
