    Default ‘It’s good to see racism lose’: Guilty verdicts are hailed in the Arbery case.

    Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, a Republican, said he hoped the verdicts would help the country “move forward down a path of healing and reconciliation.”

    President Biden said the verdict showed the “justice system is doing its job,” but said Mr. Arbery’s murder and the chilling videotape that recorded it were a measure of the country’s persistent racial inequities.

    I wonder if Arbery was 'White' and the exact thing occurred, would the Jury convict everyone the same?

    “It’s good to see racism lose,” said Mr. Stewart, whose clients have included the family of Walter Scott, a 50-year-old Black man shot in the back in 2015 by a South Carolina police officer. “This case will be remembered for many years. You can’t overstate how big this is.”

    If Rittenhouse would have shot 3 'Black' people, would the Verdict have been the same?

    Probably, but with more rioting.

    Yes, except from certain quarters he would also have been commended for his marksmanship.
