President Biden said Wednesday that the conviction of three men for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery “reflect our justice system doing its job,” but added “that alone is not enough.”
“Instead, we must recommit ourselves to building a future of unity and shared strength, where no one fears violence because of the color of their skin,” the president added in a statement released by the White House. “My administration will continue to do the hard work to ensure that equal justice under law is not just a phrase emblazoned in stone above the Supreme Court, but a reality for all Americans.”
A Georgia jury found Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan — all white — guilty on 23 of 27 counts in connection with the murder of Arbery, who was black.
Arbery, 25, was shot and killed in February 2020 after the McMichaels and Bryan chased him in a pickup truck while Arbery was on a run. The men claimed they were attempting to make a citizens’ arrest of Arbery as a suspect in a series of burglaries.
“Ahmaud Arbery’s killing – witnessed by the world on video – is a devastating reminder of how far we have to go in the fight for racial justice in this country. Mr. Arbery should be here today, celebrating the holidays with his mother, Wanda Cooper Jones, and his father, Marcus Arbery,” Biden said. “Nothing can bring Mr. Arbery back to his family and to his community, but the verdict ensures that those who committed this horrible crime will be punished.”
Shortly after Arbery’s death, then-candidate Biden compared the shooting to a lynching, calling it a “grave injustice.”

Nothing is ever enough to the filthy leftists.
The white people at the Waukesha Christmas parade should also have had no reason to fear violence because of their skin color, but Biden won’t mention them. There are far more killings of non-blacks by blacks than the reverse each year, but the media and the Democrats only consider one type of killing to be a national problem.

100%
Look at the media calling this a “Crash” a “Tragedy” everything but mass murder.
Sick of these REAL racist whites on the far left pushing their Cultural Marxism under the lie “every (poor/middle class) white is racist”
perhaps plugs should address the polar bear or knock out game....
Biden is really screwed up
He’s such a jerk
If it’s not enough Joe, sign an executive order that they be strung up on The White House lawn. That should take care of it for you.
The judge in this case refused to let the jury know “the jogger” got that nickname because he was known to come into stores, steal things and jog away .... the judge ensured the jury would vote to convict ..
Communists have no souls.
Open season on whites.
.
Thinking about the Waukesha Racist Brooks and BLMer.
Remember a 24 yr old black man picked up a 5 yr old white kid and threw him off the third floor at a Minnesota Mall.
There’s a long series of crimes where racist motives are cleansed and prohibited on TV.

Up yours, Poopy Pants.
He didn’t write a word of it.
And yes, he’s a jerk
I don’t really care what Diapers thinks about any of these things. He’s a Commie - we pretty much know what he thinks.
Fanning the flames is Slo Joe.
Might that present grounds for an appeal?
If this kind of case and sentence is able to be appealed.
The Georgia prosecutors never introduced evidence that Arbery was killed because he was Black. That wasn’t part of the indictment.
The evidence introduced at the trial alleged that he was accosted and the scuffle then took place because the men thought he was a robber.
Biden is indulging his obsession about race and making this primarily a racial incident without offering any proof. But when did proof ever matter anyway to these political slime balls?
Let’s Go Brandon!!!!!
He has a point. If there was justice for all he would be indicted along with his son
