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.”

....while blacks are wasting blacks at shocking rates. Nothing to see there though right joe? Right MSM? Right liberal dems? Right BLM?
Meanwhile the mass murder of blacks by gang members continues every week in cities like Chicago and it is completely and utterly ignored. Why? Because the DemoMarxist domestic enemy slimebags know they can’t exploit it to further their agenda.
It’s not the first time they’ve pulled that crap. Remember Janet Napolitano calling Islamic terrorism “man caused disasters?” And the media picked it right up from there. They know that certain groups are vastly more likely to commit violent crimes (or terrorist attacks), and they will tie themselves into knots trying to avoid admitting the obvious.
Talk about overplaying the Race Card. Poll numbers must be really bad.
Yes. But then they have to prove it (or at least in a fair trial they have to prove it) - beyond the presumption that because the shooter was white and the shootee was black, it was a hate crime.
It’s interesting that the state prosecutors didn’t introduce any such evidence, which ordinarily they would do.
Joe should confess his own racism and stop projecting it on all of us.
“We must commit ourselves to ousting the radical left winger Joe Biden and denouncing all that he regurgitates “ bert
Feeble, demoed, perverted... jackass.
…. fight for racial justice in this country.
…. where no one fears violence because of the color of their skin.
…. ensure that equal justice under law…
Doing what DemRats do best…. fanning the flames to keep ‘racism alive’.
I hope KYLE cleans out Biden’s bank accounts.
The man wasn’t a “Jogger” any more than I am a criuse ship captain.
He was ‘casing the joints’.
The media did its best to bury the story.
Yes like a few weeks ago when he called a black man a negro.
Sorry Joe. I am with you. I don’t want to live in a racial jungle...
Am I allowed to say that?
I’ll bet he doesn’t remember saying that anymore.
The convictions are WORSE than enough!!!! The two that didn’t shoot arbery don’t deserve anywhere near the same sentence of the shooter!!!!
And I say Whites must RIOT over it until We get more FAIR verdicts !!!!
You are absolutely right. I can’t remember a time left has ever been upbeat. They are always whining, protesting, complaining, fighting, blaming, changing things, wanting more, just downright miserable people.
