The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of Travis McMichael and his father, Gregory, and their neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan.
The three men, who are white, each face charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and criminal attempt to commit a felony in the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, 25, who was Black, on Feb. 23, 2020, in Georgia.
They face up to life in prison if convicted of the more serious charges.
The nearly all-white jury, which has one Black member, began deliberating the men's fate on Tuesday.
These three men were guiltier than the prosecution portrayed them. There was a specific reason they killed this man. If you read the transcripts the father tipped his hand - he “knew” who the victim was when the neighbor called.
How is this possible. Weren’t we told all majority white jury wasn’t fair?
It wasn’t just going after some random black men - for some reason they wanted to kill this guy.
Was this Georgia? Georgia has the death penalty.
when they got OUT of the truck armed...that cooked their goose....dumb asses....
Sounds like a riot-free Thanksgiving.
And now, The Pathologically Sore Winner Leftist Riots, will begin ,in 5,4,3,2,1.....
You still say 1/6 was a riot and people involved should get multi-year prison sentences.
Agreed.
Arbry may have thought: “These crackers are gonna kill me no matter what!”
No one can judge without being in that situation.
The actual shooter doomed his dad and neighbor. I bet they’d like to shoot HIS ass right now.
Too bad they get life not execution. All three should be taken to the public square and hung ‘til dead, today.
Listening to Al Sharpton.
I note he didn’t get out and cheer over the Rittenhouse verdict.
Wow, what a week it has been.
Qualified immunity applies ONLY in the context of civil lawsuits.
Arbery could have just kept running.
_____________________________________
Your first argument is incorrect.
Arbery ran and was caught.
Arbery ran again and was caught again.
One more time. He ran. He was caught.
Finally (run # 4) he was hit by the truck and ran no more.
Agreed.
The actual shooter doomed them all. Over what? A trespasser and possible petty thief?!
They forgot the carpenter’s creed: “Measure twice, cut once.”
I’m surprised these people living around these thug burglar robber types, are not looking at scopes, subsonic ammo and silencers. They always seem to want confrontation.
That was a media lie
Nope. They chased him to stop and ID him and hold for cops.
Because the whole neighborhood had been on the lookout for him.
Still, you left out two important part:
Several whites who look like me accost man who likely is casing houses to pilfer in a neighborhood used to burglaries etc
He ran off.
They are armed
They got in their truck and drove after him. After a few minutes, they caught up to him...
A struggle ensues--the black man grabbing the business--end of the firearm--He’s shot....dead
The going after him in the truck after he ran off was the part they shouldn't have done. That's the police's job.
Personally, I'm just glad criminals are stupid because otherwise they might not get caught.
As a former Probation Officer, I agree. I only got stupid criminals through my office.
