'AM Joy' Panel Blames NRA, the 'Rise of Trumpism' for Ahmaud Arbery Murder
newsbusters.org ^ | 5/9/2020 | Ryan Foley

The panel on Saturday’s edition of AM Joy wasted no time blaming the NRA as well as President Trump for the tragic shooting of unarmed African-American Glynn County, Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery. Throughout the segment, host Joy Reid and the panel painted police officers as racists and repeatedly trashed those protesting the stay-at-home orders.

At the beginning of the segment, Reid delivered a monologue describing the “anti-lockdown protesters” as “angry, spittle-flecked, mostly men, mostly white, spewing respiratory droplets and indignation.” She also discussed the “necropolitics of the pandemic, the freedom to decide who gets to live and who has to die for me to get mine.”

According to Reid, “necropolitics” requires “a disproportionately black and brown labor force to return to work, get back on the wheel and risk death in order to serve” a “certain cohort of white guys” who believe they possess the “God-given right to get their roots done and order a steak at the restaurant and hit the golf course and the bar.”

After she finished dismissing the concerns of stay-at-home protesters, Reid brought in her panel to discuss the topic at hand: the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. Reid implied that police officers were racist because they were “quite casual” about “white protesters literally screaming in the faces of officers” at the stay-at-home order protests; complaining that “they’re not afraid of them, but they’re afraid of any black motorist.”

One of the panelists, Vanderbilt University Professor Jonathan Metzl blamed “all the rhetoric coming out of the NRA,” “stand Your ground” laws, and “what I write about in my book, The Castle Doctrine, these ideas that basically of the white body...the white home as a particular castle” for Arbery’s death.

OFFS! Yup, PDJT was behind this since he's allegedly such a racist. NOT! Vanderbilt University Professor Jonathan Metzl: "...to give the idea that basically white Americans can use their weapons...to defend themselves..." Uh, it's called the Bill of Rights dumbass and it applies to ALL Americans. I suppose the 3 or 4 viewers were impressed by this TDS meltdown? These assclowns are insufferable.

Of course they do this, and nobody cares. Not even them. It’s just the required button to push for the day.

Pffht.

I blame the butt plugs the panel members were using. They need more lube.

Murder? Have they been convicted? Oh that’s right the MSM has done their job. We don’t need no stinkin courts.

Just wait until the Rats win in November and these Fascist Morons get a place at the Table.

I pray to God it won’t happen, but my Faith in the Voting System and at least half the Electorate is waning.

The Courts are no longer interested in our Individual Rights, only the power of the Collective, so they offer us no Protection under Constitutional Law from these Totalitarians.

I have only heard small snippets about this story, but some things I have not heard at all:

There was supposedly a rash of break-ins, which the shooter used as the reason to follow this guy with a shotgun. Was there a rash, and how many is a rash?

Have the break-ins continued after this guy got shot?

Has anybody been arrested for the break-ins?

This was a terrible crime. I would blame the people who did this terrible thing while noting that this was an outlier to an overall trend of far fewer Americans being murdered than this time last year. They have been caught, they will face the justice system.

We can still win if two things happen. Biden stays in and the rats are not successful in getting mail voting.

Yet they don’t seem to bother telling people that blacks are far more likely to be murdered by other blacks. You were to take out black on black violent crime numbers, the United States easily looks more like Switzerland.

If Biden (or any Rat) Wins our Republic is no more, period.

Ahmaud Arbery is “Trayvon II”, a fleeing burglar, caught on video, who chose to assault the men trying to get him to stop, and died.

He was caught on video entering a vacant house, coming out a few minutes later, then starting to run when he saw that a neighbor had seen him and was on the phone

Thanks for the link. Certainly a much different story than what has been portrayed in the media.
