Good.

Jury didn’t want to be shot by armed black militia. Justice.

Come on man. Helen Keller could see that’s the correct verdict.

[WuWei]

Can’t wait

I am setting here listening to Rev Al claim that the verdict was brought about by the protesters. That is just him trying to claim the jury’s thunder. The case was pretty straight forward. The rest of the speakers are sounding very level headed and giving credit to the law and the jury who reached the decision.

Meh, probably a “lone wolf” attack or something equally ridiculous at best.

…and surely the MSM will label it another…wait for it…accident?

[SixFoot]

Not hardly. They’ll label it white supremacy and project it on everyone. lol

[Roxiebelle]

The system worked twice in one week! This was a clear-cut case of vigilante murder and not self-defense by any stretch of the imagination no matter what Arbery’s motivation or intent was and IMO it was a racially driven hate crime.

[e7alr]

I can see their characters reacting to the color of the victim’s skin as a factor. Not sure they set out to kill him, more likely they didn’t actually expect him to resist and the shooter panicked. Still murder, still guilty as sin, still by all appearances a just verdict against each one.

Libs are gonna be so disappointed when everyone is happy that these dingbats are going to prison.

I was so ready to be “disappointed”

@Smyrna

I asked the question of whether or not there’d be riots after the Rittenhouse verdict? Libs said no but they were wrong. Not only were they wrong about riots but a leftist, hateful lunatic ran into a crowd of innocent people having a Christmas parade because they were of a different color, killing 6 thus far and seriously injuring many, many, many…including innocent children.

Now here we are again at a similar crossroad. According to the FBI, white supremacy is the biggest threat in the US today…so…I have to ask, will the white supremacists riot now? Will they run their cars into groups of BLM protestors? What will be the response of the greatest American threat? What say you? I say there won’t even be a ripple…because the FBI is a corrupt organization at it’s top levels and are nothing more than a perpetuating force of the Democrat party. Now…let’s all watch the future unfold together, shall “we”?

Risky post if you ask me, I wouldn’t rule out retaliation this quickly. There aren’t as many as some people claim but they do exist.

I hear you but…weighing out what we’ve all witnessed, I believe the laws of probability are on my side. That said, we had a similar exchange when I associated the Wisconsin massacre with the Rittenhouse verdict right after it happened. Sometimes the dots connect and sometimes they don’t. In this instance, I don’t see them connecting.

My understanding is that, at the end of the day, juries are human, laws are subject to interpretation, lawyers are talented at arguing, and juries and judges susceptible to those arguments.

I would be concerned if all of these marquee trials ended up the same way.

A diversity in outcomes is good as no two cases are exactly the same.

Wait for the sentencing.

This will give us some insight.

@Sknyluv

You think our judicial system has treated minorities the same as whites?

Well, you think that OJ was held to the same standards as whites?

Bottom line in this country, skin color has nothing to do with iit.

It is all about the number of priors you have and the size of your bank account.

Each had videos that showed the events on trial and IMO…in each case, the right verdict was reached. Also, I agree. No two are the same.

@bigtwnvin

Well these men deserved these verdicts in my opinion. Now that this trial is over let the peaceful protests begin because the system doesn’t work for minorities right?

I don’t know enough about the back story to bring race into it, but these men got a HUGE break… initially.

Before the video made it to the public their local police and DA looked over this clear cut evidence and decided it was an OK killing. And also misled Aubery’s mother to make it sound like a more clear cut defensive shoot.

Ultimately they were found guilty, but I’m not real satisfied about the initial free pass. Local guys cozy with the police against a not-so-local guy?

That system did not work and needed state level intervention.

Let’s also not forget that the only reason the video became public is because one of the murderers sent it to a radio station.

Had the cops seen it when they gave them a pass? If so, yeah that needs cleaned up.
