Justice prevailed in the trial of Ahmaud Arbery’s killers. In America, that’s a shock

[BidenPresident]

It took almost three months for the Georgia bureau of investigation, which took over the case, to arrest Travis and Gregory McMichael. (Bryan was arrested months later.) The elder McMichael had been a police officer and investigator for the district attorney’s office. The favoritism shown the men ran deep, so deep that the Brunswick district attorney, Jackie Johnson, who first oversaw the case, was later indicted on charges of violating her oath as a public officer and obstructing a police officer, as she was accused of “showing favor and affection to Greg McMichael during the investigation”, according to the indictment.

It’s shocking that Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan were found guilty of murdering Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia. Yet the shock doesn’t stem out of any miscarriage of justice. On the contrary, the jury in Glynn county deliberated and reached the correct decision. Stalking an innocent Black man, chasing him, cornering him, and then killing him must come with criminal consequences in this country, and each of the three murderers now faces the possibility of a life sentence.

But the shock is that justice was served in a case where it seemed the criminal justice system and substantial portions of media coverage were doing all they could to exonerate these men. In fact, everything about this case illustrates how difficult it is to get justice for Black people in this country, starting with how often Fox News and other media outlets referred to the case as “the Arbery trial”, as if Ahmaud Arbery were the perpetrator here and not the victim.

They were proud of killing a black, just like Zimmerman. They wanted to take someone's life.

apparently. even if they "heard" he stole something from a house under construction, when they saw him jogging, they could see he was not carrying anything....as if they had the right to act like a cop in the first place for a "crime" they did not even witness.

Just how many JPP posters agreed with what the killers of Arbrey did?

Was that what Grosskreutz was doing, trying to take a pic of Rittenhouse with a loaded Glock. Boy Liberals are dumbasses.

And if there had been no video Rittenhouse would have been convicted.

I'm not shocked that the jury system worked as it was supposed to work.

Not only are those on the left incapable of telling the difference between males and females, they have no clue what racism even means.
