If they were black, they'd have already been released from prison due to Covid, and wouldn't be made to complete the rest of their court-ordered sentences.

In Australia, they are ordering non-vaccinated people to not leave their homes for any reason, no work, not even an hour exercise outside. Even convicts in most modern prison settings, are guaranteed by the courts, the right to outside exercise whether they are vaccinated or not. Even inmates in special housing units have to have an hour of outdoor exercise each day. That's their right by law.

I think I would have cut that guy up in about 50 pieces just to be on the safe side, or else fed him to the pigs as a inadequate apology to his victims.

Regardless of what side you are on. They would have gotten off or much less if this is was any other combination of races.

Stay out of other people’s fights.

Yes, Arbury was (by all appearances) a bad guy bent on bad actions. Karma caught up with him.
In this particular instance, he hadn’t apparently done anything beyond basic trespassing. There was nothing warranting armed apprehension, with risk of terminal consequences.

Wasn’t the McMichaels’ property, wasn’t their fight to initiate. Travis brought a loaded gun into play, off-safe, finger on trigger, pointing at another person (or close enough for high risk it would end up that way). Arbury wasn’t the one violating 2 or more of The Four Rules.

Yes, grabbing the wrong end of a gun was Arbury’s move and a really bad idea. He didn’t put the gun there, McMichaels did.

Don’t confuse this with Rittenhouse, who made a concerted effort to disengage, firing his grabbed gun only when others eliminated his options. McMichaels could have disengaged at any point, limiting options to little more than grabbing the gun (yes Arbury had options to disengage, but opted closer to “stand your ground” while McMichaels pursued).

Yes, Arbury got what karma dictated.
McMichaels had a chance to not take dictation.

Wow. These guys will likely spend the rest of their days in prison.

The former cop who taught the last class I took will be using this story as an example of what not to do.

Yes, when you brandish a firearm you shouldn’t assume the guy you are pointing it as won’t fight to the death.

These guys don’t have an IQ of 60 between them.

He shot a guy that grabbed his shotgun. Clean shoot, should be free.

Not long enough indeed. Now we should fully expect federal hate crime charges to be filed against him. Civil rights charges, etc.

I’m not saying mcMichael is innocent, but it’s quite clear he’s being dumped on because he is a white man.

I live in a very rural area. 2 guys were brought in to teach my class. Both retired police officers from Pittsburgh.

It was exceptional. I think police make the best instructors they have been there and done that up close.

Which explains why they video recorded the whole thing.

If only they killed a white guy, they’d probably just get probation

They never would have been charged, let alone convicted. This thing was a political show trial.

Our guy was a very pro-2nd amendment good old boy former lawman. He also warned us about some cops who are not pro 2nd amendment and who believe only cops should have guns.

Arbery pleaded guilty to charges he carried a gun onto a high school campus in 2013, a year after he graduated. Rodney Ellis, police chief for the Glynn County school system, testified at Wednesday’s hearing that Arbery tried to evade officers on foot and stopped only when two of them pointed guns at him.

Officer Robert Mydell of Glynn County police testified about Arbery’s 2017 arrest on charges that he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart store. Court records show he pleaded guilty to shoplifting.

Two other officers testified they recalled encounters with Arbery, saying he became angry when questioned. He was not charged with crimes in either instance. And a local convenience store manager, Crystal Wilson, told the judge about a young Black man who several times stole food. Wilson said she recognized it was Arbery after seeing his photo in the newspaper after his death.

Of course the MSM portrayed him as an affable fellow who aspired to be a football star.

Well, you see - that’s what happens when you surrender your firearms to the government, because they know what’s good for you ... The axiom “Stupid is as stupid does” is in effect in Australia, the United States, and just about everywhere else in the world, except within the halls of government - because elected officers and appointed bureaucrats are no longer made to suffer consequences for their actions. Only us “plebes” are made to carry that burden.
