Kentucky Senator Rand Paul offered his condolences to the family of Ahmaud Arbery Saturday and called for the U.S. justice system do better in the wake of the February shooting of the Georgia jogger.
Paul echoed the sentiment of several national lawmakers who have criticized the Georgia legal system and the district attorney for failing to bring charges against the father and son who only this week were arrested on murder and assault charges. Gregory McMichael, 64, and Travis McMichael, 34, are now in the custody of the Glynn County Sheriff's Department nearly three months after the alleged murder of Arbery. He was shot to death on February 23 in Brunswick, Georgia.
Public outcry and national attention from figures like Paul occurred only after a video of the killing emerged on social media last week and the family saying the 25-year-old was chased down and shot by the two white men as a victim of racial profiling. "Nothing justifies the shooting of #AhmaudArbery in Georgia. My heart goes out to his family and I hope justice is done. Our criminal justice system needs to do better," the Kentucky senator tweeted Saturday.in Georgia. My heart goes out to his family and I hope justice is done. Our criminal justice system needs to do better.On Thursday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced the arrests of the McMichaels.
