Arbery Trial

[LuFins Dad]

Apparently there is a very large black militia gathering outside of the courthouse.

Now I have not been watching the trial, so I have an uninformed opinion, but this one seems to me like these three white men need to go to jail for a very long time. The problem is that now if you do that, the mob is going to believe that their tactics worked.

General consensus is that they're gonna serve time. The question is which charges stick and what the sentence will be.

BTW, those militia are Black Panthers.

I would make them very aware of their mortality.

I believe they came because the defense made comments about not needing more black pastors or folks intimidating the trial. Accurate as that might be, the optics weren't the best.

Still... I'm curious on the evidence in the trial. Certainly the video is damning for the defendants. Even if Arbery had just stolen something from someone's house (not that he did) and they saw him running away, you can't just pull up in front of him with a gun and then claim self-defense when Arbery defends himself with his fists.

Or as @Aqua-Letifer often says, "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."

Yeah these guys are fucked, at least they deserve to be. Their only chance is a single bubba in the jury hangs the case. Their lawyer more of less has said as much.

I guess I would have to agree on the face of it. But I won’t see what the jury will. Don’t think they pass the reasonable person test.
