Video evidence that the accused leaked because they thought it would exonerate them.

It's Georgia, these guys probably thought they were going to get a medal.

Where did you see that?  I haven't seen anything on a decision yet?

I just heard it on the radio.  They'll get life imprisonment.  Good news.

But why let facts get in the way of a good narrative?

And even with the video evidence, the original prosecutor tried for months to bury the case.
Wasn't until the video went public that anything happened.

If so they thought wrong and your comment seems like a unnecessary cheap shot on the citizens of Georgie.

Nah, I assure you, it is well deserved.  Pictured top is the state flag of Georgia (decided by 73.1% of Georgians in 2003) and bottom is the flag of the short lived, highly racist, traitorous Confederate States of America.





But we're off topic enough so I'll stop.

I didn't follow this case as closely as the Rittenhouse one, but the one parallel I see between Arbery and Rittenhouse was the concept of provocation. You can't claim that it was self defense if you are the one who started it. Thought that was checkmate for the 3 men in Georgia.

Rittenhouse would have (and should have according to the law) also been found guilty if there was enough evidence he had provoked the people who were killed.

I guess I have to reevaluate the fact that I had  a great time in Atlanta last month. with people of multiple races and ethnicities, pretty much at every establishment.  I'll be sure on my next visit I'm prepared to deal with how horrible the community is there.

I have family in Atlanta, and colleagues. There are wonderful people with great food & a long history of messed up culture and deep-seated racism that's hard to believe still exists having lived in the North for most of my life.

It can be both.

Racism doesn't exist because in Georgia because Mugs had a nice time in Atlanta. 🙄🙄🙄

I spent a night in Chicago recently and not only wasn't I murdered, but I didn't see a single shooting.
What's all this nonsense about gun violence?

I'm glad you had fun in the largest most diverse city in Atlanta.  I suggest you visit anywhere outside the metro area before absolving the state of its racist roots.

There is deep seated racism among individuals in every major city in the world among other prejudices.  I think because of the racial demographics, if you're going to prejudge people, Atlanta may be the least racist major city in the USA.

What if I were to tell you there are vast swaths of Georgia that are not Atlanta?

It's different down there, it's clear you haven't spent a lot of time in the South. You don't hear the 'hard R' in public in restaurants in Chicago like you do in Memphis and Atlanta. Nobody is calling the server at the restaurant 'boy' in Chicago, cause in the North you'd get slapped for that.

There's a lot of beautiful wonderful people making their way through the world down there. At the same time everyone's that the same age as my grandparents, aunts, and uncles went to segregated schools down there. The people that beat the crap out of the folks on the Selma march still live down there. It's not like they've changed. I'm related to them, I've asked them.

Curious what the Rittenhouse supporters think of this case.

Note: The defendant in this case was denied bail as he was deemed a danger to society because of the accused crimes.

Sorry you have a piece of $hit family. Don't let your hatred for them make you the idiot who paints people with an unfairly broad brush.

But I guess it's too late for that.

This is the first I've read about it so it would be silly to comment without seeing the facts of the case presented at trial. 

For his sake I hope their is video evidence to help him back up his claims.  The video evidence IMO is the only thing that saved Kyle during his trial.

Happy Thanksgiving Forgetful!!
