Moral of the story: When chasing suspected perp in your pickup truck and shooting at him, do not exchange racist text messages.

All three should be taken to the town square and publicly executed.

Ahmaud Arbery’s Criminal Record Cannot Be Used By Defense in Murder Trial, Judge Rules
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ahmaud-arberys-criminal-record-cannot-be-used-by-defense-in-murder-trial-judge-rules/ar-AANZc4M

“Arbery pleaded guilty to guilty to charges that 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.

“He was also arrested in 2017 on charges that he tried to steal a TV from a Walmart. Court records show he pleaded guilty to shoplifting. Arbery was on probation at the time of his death.”

All three are pigs. They’ll get no support on FR.

[GreyFriar]

They’ve already been convicted of murder. Why this additional trial, other than to appease BLM?

Thos are points, among others, many on this site selectively ignored. These three got what they deserved. They will be lucky if they get life instead of the death penalty.

What disturbs me a great deal is that Mac Michael was retired LEO.

I always wonder: What crime is NOT a hate crime? It seems that every type of crime involves hatred in one form or another. Mr Arbery was carrying around some hate, or so it seems.

The offenders are useless idiots, however. If the guy was stealing or vandalizing, he should have been arrested and sent to jail. If the law is not responding, there are ways to get fools to stop messing with your property that don’t involve killing them.

My belief is the three had no right to do what they did (and were also very stupid handing over the tape that convicted them), but I don't believe the story that the black guy was just checking things out because he was interested in construction or whatever that B.S. line was.

I might catch some grief for this, but I think the best outcome was achieved: The thief is dead, and the three stooges are going to jail for life.

Re: "When chasing suspected perp in your pickup truck and shooting at him, do not exchange racist text messages."

From memory - none of the alleged racist texts introduced at this trial refer to the Black male who was shot and killed.

If that is not correct, I will retract and apologize.

Travis was looking rather dejected after the verdict was read, but left the courtroom feeling very upbeat after his attorney told him he would be out of prison on the 15th of Juvember.

Moral of the story

Don’t expect justice in a case like this one

[NautiNurse]

Press conference outside the court house. Benjamin Crump swoops in to get his face in front of another cameras. Crump is an insatiable rabble rousing media whore.

Or make sure he/she has committed a provable crime before you chase him/her.

All 3 defendants convicted of hate crimes in Arbery killing

More proof modern courts are absolute garbage.

[ought-six]

Yeah, but the torturers, rapists, and murderers of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were just young, potential rap stars who went astray. Nope, no hate crimes brought against them.

“Moral of the story: When chasing suspected perp in your pickup truck and shooting at him, do not exchange racist text messages.”

Suggestion: Don’t engage with the guy; call the police.

[ronniesgal]

if i ever get a house built, I am absolutely installing cameras.
I can’t believe how many folks here think it is ok to enter a house under construction.
Someone owns that. Without permission thats trespassing.
