Ahmaud Arbery Trial

Post by K Graham »

Weird how this isn't getting as much attention. White hicks who were once in law enforcement, murder innocent black man who was minding his own business. The jury consists of 11 white people! This is like 1950's Mississippi all over again.

I mean, maybe it really was self defense. If the Rittenhouse trial is any kind of barometer, then the three white men who ran him down were just trying to enforce the law. And then once Arbery presented himself as a lethal threat, they used deadly force in self defense. Hey, it was unfortunate, but crap happens, right?

What do you think is going to happen if these guys are allowed to walk?

Here is the video of the shooting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3JDE_ZfgSE

What I found interesting is the legal commentary at 1:37 in the video where lawyers say they couldn't realistically claim self defense because they're the ones who brought the guns! But didn't Rittenhouse also bring his gun? The video doesn't show the actual encounter.

Rittenhouse wasn't running anyone down. He was doing the precise opposite.

It all depends on whether he grabbed the gun in response to a round being fired, or if the gun being fired was in response to him grabbing the gun. It's unfortunate that the truck obscured the goings-on at that exact moment.

Why ask a question to which you already know the answer?

But just like the three hicks from Brunswick, he threw himself into a situation that he had no business being involved in. He also "brought the guns" just like the three men in Brunswick. I'm just drawing correlations here based on what that attorney said in the video clip. If these things work against them in Brunswick, then why don't they work against Kyle in Kenosha?

Exactly, so without clear footage showing Arbury didn't do any of that, there could very easily be reasonable doubt established. All it takes is one juror to say so and the jury is 92% white.

Maybe some of the business and property owners being assaulted by BLM protesters like this 71 year old man needed a little help.

Bottom line, when a career criminal like Jacob Blake decides to fight the police, you better get out the way while BLM trashes your stores, house, and other property or you're a white supremacist.

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Looters punching someone who used a fire extinguisher on them has nothing to do with BLM. Your Nazi tendencies are getting the best of you as usual.

Kyle was very fortunate that there was video evidence of him being chased by an unhinged violent felon. The jury has enough information to make a well informed decision in my opinion.

We can only speculate without that clear evidence in this other case.

A few people breaking into the capital had nothing to do with Donald Trump and the thousands of peaceful protesters that marched on January 6.

Wow, what a blinkered perspective. Here Trump has incited violence, encouraged it, multiple times, and suddenly the storming of the Capitol has nothing to do with Donald Trump?

Of course it has everything to do with Donald Trump! He told people to march on the Capitol! He told them that their rights and votes were being stolen! Of course the predictable happened as a result. People took him seriously and stormed Capitol.

Trump most definitely incited the people who stormed the Capitol. Don't be silly.

Do you agree with this statement by him who has name we're allowed to utter?

Show me where Donald Trump is paying bail for the capital rioters as Kamala Harris was doing for BLM. Did Donald Trump visit the capital rioters in the hospital as Kamala did visit Jacob Blake? Show me corporations putting out statements about the killing of Ashleigh Babbit like they Nike immediately did for the so called "senseless" shooting of Jacob Blake.

A "few" people you damned moron? Try hundreds of people, all wearing Trump attire. Thousands of peaceful protesters? There is nothing peaceful about storming a gated facility illegally and pissing on the walls and desecrating it with Confederate flags. When ten thousand people are rushing a facility, only the few hundred at the front lines are in position to do violence, and they were all willing to do so. But the entire crowd is complicit. In one video in the documentary series you could see Trumper's calling in a second wave of people because they were too tired after an hour of trying to break through. "We need new men, we need new men" and when called, they showed up.

Feel free to show any direct relation to BLM and any violence done in Kenosha.
