Atlanta Mayor Bottoms: Trump’s Rhetoric Gave ‘Permission’ in Ahmaud Arbery Shooting
Breitbart ^ | 5-10-2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/10/2020 10:23:03 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms addressed unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery being chased and shot dead allegedly by two white men, Gregory and Travis McMichael in Georgia on February 23.

Host Jake Tapper said, “The shooting happened back on February 23. Authorities had possession of a now-viral video of the shooting from the beginning. But the murder charges were not filed until this past week after the video emerged online and shocked and outraged millions of Americans. Do you think that the two men were only charged because the video became public?”

Lance Bottoms said, “I think that’s absolutely the reason that they were charged. I think had we not seen that video, I don’t believe that they would be charged. And it’s heartbreaking that it’s 2020. This was a lynching of an African-American man. And I think that, you know, my heart goes out to his family. But I think, again, it’s a part of this bigger issue that we are having in this country with the rhetoric we hear coming out of the White House in so many ways, I think that many who are prone to being racist are given permission to do it in an overt way that we otherwise would not see in 2020.”

Once again we hear rabid, anti-Trump rhetoric coming from a “guest” on CNN. This will give Mayor Bottoms his five minutes of national exposure and another invitation to appear on CNN in the future.

I watched both videos and the first one shows him going into a house which was under construction. The second video is a man not charged who called the police about this incident, and then videoed him as he ran away.
It then shows the guy run up the truck on the right side , the father was on the left of the truck.
It then shows the gentle jogger yea right attack the father even though the father had a shotgun. It shows the gentle jogger then hit the father and then they both struggle to keep the gun and it went off.

No way is the media telling the truth about this

What rhetoric?! The President has not said anything regarding race in months, unless they are talking about the Faith event with some African Americans.

The mayor is as racist as the father/son shooters.

Atlanta has a race problem. They have a racist mayor who works for the plantation owner demon rats and she is fomenting racial hatred because her massahs at DNC want Georgia blix back on the dnc planataion where the racist mayor believes all good blacks belong.

wait how do you know the 2 men are racist ?
Have you talked to them?
Do you know them?
Did you hear any racist remarks?
Or is it because the media told you?
Have you watched both video’s?
Did you see him run up to the truck after running away from the house?
Did you see the guy assault the father who was holding his gun?

I watched that Arthel Neville on FOX the other day and she was reporting whilst the video played, and she was telling us all very differently from the video.
She ignored how he was recorded attacking the father. She ignored how he ran away from the house which was under construction.
She reported as if this innocent guy was out for a nice little run, and the two white men got their guns and shot him in cold blood.

The usual media are doing what they did against Zimmermann, Ferguson hand up don;t shoot etc

The subtle approach to take is to shut down access to any media company that transmits DNC talking points (which is nearly all of them), rid the White House of press conferences, and run a streaming/archival vid distribution server farm to get the word out.

Mayor Bottoms.

Detroit’s Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick. Is there a trend here?

She was primaried out of the US House. I think voters decided to turn their Cheeks to another.

((Both her former husband and son were on trial, under an 89-page felony indictment. On March 11, 2013, her son was found guilty on 24 of 30 federal charges and her former spouse was found guilty on 1 of 4 federal charges.-—from Wikipedia.

I thought the word “bottoms” in the title meant that the mayor of Atlanta had hit bottom, as in “impossible to get any worse”.

Hmmm. Maybe I was right after all.

RE: What rhetoric?!
////////////////////////
As he was elected he gathered black leaders of various types to meet with him and to hear their concerns and needs. Many others simply refused to speak with him or attend. Those who did were branded as traitors.

President Trump has never done anything to black people except get them to the lowest unemployment rate ever (pre-Covid) and promote upward mobility for them.

This total lying BS was composed before he said anything (as Charlottesville) to libel Trump.

Look this is a typical leftist response. Don’t fall into the trap

The truth is two yobs took the law into their own hands. They didn’t see a crime committed so citizens arrest was not ok. Going with guns was not ok. They saw someone running

You come up on me yelling and getting out of the car with a shot gun I may well start beating on you too. Two dumb asses figuring they’d never get called out.

Sadly Brunswick PD has a very long history of bad policing. As a conservative I demand better
