The Death of Ahmaud Arbery

To return to the subject of this thread.

You might want to buy your guns now because it looks like it might be last call. Just sayin.

The cameraman's been arrested.

This seems like a stretch.

If only you wypipo had picked your own cotton.

Has there ever been a situation where vigilantly whites killed an unarmed black man and you felt the charges appropriate?

I'm old-fashioned: I believe that someone charged with a murder should plausibly have been a participant in one.

The fucker was there to video a lynching. It was premeditated.

If they were all working together then it’s felony murder for this guy.

I doubt they'll get murder on the active participants, and very doubtful of the guy who was not.

Demonstrably false.

Demonstrably? How?

It’s a yes or no question.

You know police like to trump up charges.

Ummmm what?

If the guy with the camera was with them he's part of the "posse" and is just as liable as the car driver who sits outside a bank while his buddies inside rob the bank.

I'm assuming that evidence has shown that the cameraman wasn't just walking down the street and was a witness but was an active participant with the other two.

If he was there with them as a cameraman and they are charged with felony murder, then he is too isn't he?

live and learn!

Yeah that’s what I assume too. These three guys went to “detain” Arbery together. That he didn’t pull his gun on Arbery, or didn’t try to physically restrain him, doesn’t matter.

Emmett Till off the top of my head. Don't recall if the James Byrd case was "vigilantism" per se, but if so, that's another.

Dude's mugshot.

dude....who cut your hair?

And what did they do with the bowl afterward?

Makes sense. Early on I think the McMichaels said that he was the one who instigated going after Arbery (or that was some bad early reporting).

I don't know but I'm not eating dinner at their house that's for sure!

His friends probably talked way too much and got him busted. Or maybe he answered too many questions and got himself busted. My thought is the police are trying to strong arm him to testify against the other two to secure some evidence of premeditation because he knows something about what they said beforehand.

good call! And I'm guessing the GBI/DOJ/Barney fucking Fife could pull information in about five minutes out of any of the dim bulbs involved in the killing! I'm guessing a free trip to Waffle House would have any of them confessing to blowing up the Hindeburg.

Now who's jumping to conclusions?

The facts aren't consistent with a lynching.

I'm surprised he hasn't already flipped.

It wasn't a lynching. I wish people would stop calling it that.

It was a murder.

Now with that out of the way......

The facts are pretty consistent with it not being self defense.

Do you know something you want to share with us?
