It blew up because the lawyer Alan Tucker released the video to a local radio station. Alan Tucker was Roddy's (the 3rd guy) lawyer, and also friends with the McMichales. The said the video was released to vindicate the McMichaels.
When people saw the video they questioned why the 2 McMichaels weren't arrested and charged. The notoriety for this particular case comes about because the D.A's offcie showed bias in favor of the McMichaels, and the nature of the killing i.e. Ahmaud being chased then killed. If the D.A. had charged the men at the start , this wouldn't have blown up.
You're telling me race had nothing to do with it? If they were all white or all black, it would've been just as big of a story? C'mon now.
While it is an interesting story as is, saying that race has no role in how it's being covered, is ridiculous. If Arbery is a white guy named Chuck Desmond, it's not a huge story.
