OT Three Georgians Chase Down Unarmed Black Man, Shoot And Kill Him

If i didn't know this country, i would say thats unbelievable. Defense attorney should be on trial too…. I mean really…

 

I remember during the Port

I remember during the Portland Riots HCP had a friend whos store downtown being protected by two white guys with rifles, so it wouldn't get burnt down or looted. If my neighborhood was being threatened by riots with burning and looting Id be protecting my home and family with a shot gun. And it would have zero to do with race. Again, I have a multi race family and we would all protect our home or business.

 

Sorry, what does this have to do with the thread or what you quoted? Honestly curious.

 

I probably put it in the wrong thread! sorry

 

Another defense attorney referred to Arberry having dirty toenails. FFS. Even if true, lapses in personal hygiene is not capital crime.
Unlike Rittenhouse, they didn't attack protests, weren't young and photogenic, so right didn't raise $2 million for their defense.

 

Well, that's $2 million that would have been wasted. They were getting convicted no matter what the defense did.

And good riddance.

 

Yeah, that's why I just don't think that was ever going to fly. One or two people mught have wanted to let their buddies off. But that's not going to slide any more.

 

Nice to see actual justice done…..despite the efforts of white people (and the media) to make it appear that Arbery brought it upon himself. The Georgia legal system in general has no shame and obviously doesn’t care how racist and stupid they look to the rest of the world. Kudos to a virtually all white jury for doing the (obviously and inescapable) right thing and making the defense look even more corrupt.

 

This is the one right here. People need to be terrified to help racists avoid justice.

 

The recording served its intended purpose. It made them heros/martyrs with the wingnut right.

 

In my experience, defense attorneys fall into 3 broad categories.

1) Sincerely believe in the importance of due process and the ideal that everyone deserves a fair trial.
2) Get a vicarious thrill from rubbing shoulders with evil.
3) Are pursuing a political agenda way beyond the actual case.

The defense lawyers in this case fell into #3. They should have just worn their Klan robes into court.

 

No might about it. Though the basic facts of the case were known to the DA, 8 weeks afterwords no one had been arrested... just maybe because the elder McMichael was friendly with the DA. But then Roddie's little home video made it's way onto the internets and the general public was appalled. In other words he felt comfortable sharing it with others who then shared it with others. No filming, no problem.

They couldn't argue the facts of the case & they couldn't argue the law. Their only shot was appealing to deep seeded racism that the jury might hold.
