General Rottweiler, special operations commander of the group, said he wants justice for Arbery.
Gerald Griggs, an attorney and vice president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP, said the group has a right to protest and carry firearms.
We have a First Amendment right to protest, we have a Second Amendment right to bear arms, and in the state we have open carry in most places.”
He added that the NAACP encourages nonviolent protests.
“We just call on everyone to remain calm, let the process play out and if you feel the need to protest do it lawfully,” said Griggs.
