This guy had many run ins with the law apparently.
Doesn't matter with regard to civilians attempting to stage an illegal citizens arrest.
In fact, the more Arbery is demonized--and the fact that the police and McMicaels knew it, the more wrong it clearly was for McMicheals as a civilian to bring two other civilians in on an attempted citizens arrest.
The media painted someone in the context of their activity when he was being harassed by two clowns b/c they felt it was their right to demand he explain himself to them. He was running. He liked to run. That's all that needs to be said about him.
Just like Conservatives, any past actions determine your worthiness to live your life. If you stand up for your rights when they don't think you should, then you deserve what's coming to you. I notice how the only times you guys say someone needs to surrender the right to self-defense is when it's unarmed Black men exercising it.
Why don’t you post up the facts that support the claim that he was running in the neighborhood prior to leaving the house.
So what you're saying is the penalty for shoplifting should be death, it should be carried out by plainclothes civilians in the street, and retroactive to three years?
He was killed for attacking Travis, not shoplifting.
Why don’t you post up the facts that support the claim that he was running in the neighborhood prior to leaving the house.
Waaaait... this is a new angle. What point are you getting at? That it's speculation that he was actually running for leisure, and not... "casing the joint?"
I guess you never saw me say more than once that in my experience jurors try very hard to follow/apply the law. Obviously, there are sometimes exceptions where a jury goes rogue.
I guess you never saw the multiple times I have said the jury will likely get some form of jury instructions. I have never stated or implied they wont follow them. But, we all know there are times they ask for instruction and they will simply have the law pointed out to them and be left to their own devices to apply it.
I guess you never saw the times I've said they will be told to follow reason and common sense. Clearly the reasoning ability and common sense will vary in any group of people. You for example would make a very bad juror since you hold common sense in such disdain.
I have also said words matter. But, unlike you I understand that words can have many different meanings and usages.
And in spite of all that, You still do what I described in my post that you’ve responded to.
I’ve posted it before. One of your quotes was in the post I referred to. Go back and find it yourself. I am not going to go back and look for your posts. You can challenge me all you want. Means nothing. I am sorry if you don’t understand or has a comprehension problem. Is English your first language? If not that may explain why you state somethings then forget you said it or have a problem with language.
That's BS. White vigilantes get to exercise their right to harass and detain Black people until they're satisfied, and Black people need to just accept that? Nahhhhhhh. Nooooooooope.
