Please continue to send yourself to hell in a hand basket by trying to make this man out to be a criminal I think a number of us on this board have done what he’s done and even posted about it you seen your construction you go and you look around and see what they are building. |
Then what is it? |
| This thread is a continual reminder that racism is not just people in white hoods screaming slurs but also people who plan to not be racist but will come up with all kinds of crazy mental gymnastics to justify shooting a black person in cold blood |
Exactly....the but, but, but crap is unreal. The only way they will ever say this young man did nothing to deserve to be gunned down by redneck vigilantes is if he were white. |
It is a man who was skulking around, not our for a jog, in a place he was not supposed to be, and two (or three depending on the extent of the involvement of the videotape guy) men who either misunderstood the law or wanted to use it to initiate a confrontation, which got totally out of control. I do not believe Arbery was shot immediately on sight. He was shot upon charging Travis McMichael. That DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. But this simply wasn’t a lynching, just as Matthew Shepard’s murder wasn’t a hate crime. |

Whelp, add "Walking a construction site while Black" to the list.
Bravo, racist America. You never miss an opportunity. |
It’s weird how people get themselves off on a Sunday. |
Seriously agreed. He wasn't shot upon charging Travis McMichael. Gregory and Travis parked their pick-up truck in an angled direction to block the road. The father stood up in the pick-up with a loaded gun. The son stood outside the truck with a second loaded gun and refused to let Ahmaud pass. Ahmaud TRIED to get around them. Tried to leave the area. Tried to descalate. It was Travis got into a fight with him and wouldn't let him go. Even after he was shot, Ahmaud was trying to get away. Disgusting hunters. Should be executed for what they did. |
He also hasn’t committed a crime. So he is a walking martyr |
Hobby walker martyr lynching |
No. He’s a dead kid that was murdered. |
They actually stalked ... herded, hunter and murdered. He was running away from the white supremacists that were following him, he turned and ran away... followed by the 3 murderer. The father and son white supremacist blocked of the street .. he had a white chafing him with a car and 2 white supremacists blocking the road. They hunted, cornered and lynched him. |
And let me guess, the civil war was about states’ rights? |
“Kid”???? He was 25! I’d already finished a second combat tour, owned a home and was about to be a Dad when I was 25. |
You had the benefit of going into the military to make you a grown-up at 25. And the perk of home ownership at a young age as one of the VA benefits. Also most of military marry before they enlist. |
