Khalid Kamau, mayor of the City of South Fulton, was charged with criminal trespassing and first-degree burglary. He was released the same day on $11,000 in surety bonds.

The councilwoman who is serving as mayor pro tem following Khalid Kamau’s arrest is one of five members who filed suit against him earlier this year.

    Georgia has a no duty to retreat law where you can use deadly force against someone who invades your home and threatens you/your property, without trying to escape first. You can’t shoot someone if you were just scared of them though, at least on paper. There has to be an imminent threat. But yes with the incident involving 1. a black man, 2. trespassing, 3. Georgia… might get away with murder if you hire a ‘good’ lawyer.
