Michael Weaver lives in a crime-ridden, majority black area of Georgia. Unfortunately for the real victim, Michael Weaver is a white nationalist who is known to have distributed fliers promoting his unpopular political ideas. One anonymous person close to the case told reporters that Local law enforcement agents, allied with an over-aggressive prosecutor, are “out for blood” against the white man. Michael Weaver is also known as Michael Carothers. Two young black men had cracked glass beer bottles on him. The fellow who somehow was close enough to Michael to get sprayed didn't want medical treatment. The other one wanted nothing to do with it legally; as there was Michael and two other men involved. A local gang task manager had this kicked up to a more severe offense upstairs to Superior Court, and convened a grand jury. Michael Weaver was taken out at gun point from his home for a 'bench warrant', and his charge was bumped up to aggravated battery (it was only simple battery before), after having already been to court twice. He was never given a court date for this 'bench warrant'.
Way to leave this out of your OP: Your first link also makes no mention of the two black guys cracking bottles on anyone's head, the word "bottle" isn't even mentioned. Sounds like you're just trying to defend some asshle.
The stories that have come from the police have been both incomplete, and inconsistent. Police claim that on December 4th, 2010, Carothers slowly pulled up in his car alongside a 26-year-old black man who was walking on Rose Hill Street in Columbus, When the man got on the sidewalk and kept walking, Carothers allegedly stopped his car, got out, sprayed pepper spray on the man’s neck, returned to his car and drove away. Police claim to have arrested him only an hour after the alleged attack, whether this actually happened at that time is not known, but what is known is that police several days later broke down his door and arrested him with excessive force. Whether or not he had been previously arrested, this second arrest does not look good for the police. He had already appeared in court twice, why arrest him again, at his home, in such an intrusive way? It is also probable that a physical altercation went on between the two blacks and the white man, since one of the black "victims" went to a hospital to treat minor injuries, which was not mentioned in the police report. The "bottles" were mentioned in one of the anonymous comments to the article, supposedly from someone who either knew the victim, or is part of the police force.
I think you're lying, and I think this whole thread is a pitiful excuse for you to try and vaunt your racism.
What little information there is seems consistent to me. The incident happened, he was arrested for simple battery, released (presumably on some form of bail), the decision was made to charge him with the more serious offence so he was re-arrested and held in custody. What actually happened with the incident in question is unknown. There is one sequence of events being reported as the prosecution line (though little will have been stated formally prior to any court case). There is another sequence of events which appears to only have been suggested in a comment post on the newspaper site by someone claiming to be the suspects father (I think - it's a little inconsistent). I don't see any reason to give that any credence in the absence of anything to back it up. I'm sure there will be a court case where the people actually involved can put their cases and have them properly assessed. That's never going to happen here.
