You said above that the jury was afraid of BLM, in other words you were calling them cowards. Why do you act like the rest of us are too stupid to read your previous posts in this thread?
I didn't say anything about how acceptable it was to have anyone there protesting. I was objecting your calling the jury cowards who would bend to he will of anyone else outside the courthouse.
That's why McMichael killed him. That's all he saw.
You going to just stand there and let "them" stop us from making films?
Sure we are. Show us what you got. Nature abhors a vacuum.
I enjoyed the entire film. Interesting take on the Cyrano de Bergerac theme.
I'd say it would have been suicide to just stand there and let McMichael shoot him.
What would you do if armed men were casing you in a car, you ran until you were exhausted, then were approached by a man with a gun? Would you just let them shoot you or defend yourself even against poor odds of survival?
What makes you think the jury even gave a damn about the BLM people gathering?
Yes they do. https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-16/chapter-3/article-2/16-3-23-1/
A person who uses threats or force in accordance with Code Section 16-3-21, relating to the use of force in defense of self or others, Code Section 16-3-23, relating to the use of force in defense of a habitation, or Code Section 16-3-24, relating to the use of force in defense of property other than a habitation, has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and use force as provided in said Code sections, including deadly force.
Arbery retreated from armed men until he stopped. Then he defended himself. A person can't aggressively pursue someone then claim self defense when their victim turns on them in order to live.
Here is where you get it. https://advance.lexis.com/documentpage/?pdmfid=1000516&crid=54269a87-af3e-4da4-93a0-9edb90a9e229&nodeid=AAQAAGAACAAC&nodepath=/ROOT/AAQ/AAQAAG/AAQAAGAAC/AAQAAGAACAAC&level=4&haschildren=&populated=false&title=%c2%a7%2016-5-1.%20Murder;%20malice%20murder;%20felony%20murder;%20murder%20in%20the%20second%20degree&config=00JAA1MDBlYzczZi1lYjFlLTQxMTgtYWE3OS02YTgyOGM2NWJlMDYKAFBvZENhdGFsb2feed0oM9qoQOMCSJFX5qkd&pddocfullpath=/shared/document/statutes-legislation/urn:contentItem:6338-9NJ1-JX3N-B4Y4-00008-00&ecomp=_g1_kkk&prid=07d0fa63-9305-409f-8bfe-354889faaed3
Giving a person the death penalty based on appearance is part of what is what is wrong with the death penalty in this country. I hope the likes of you are never serving on a jury.
No, BLM did not gang up on this jury. But you're claiming that the jury is composed of cowards.
Gee, a group of people dedicated to sticking up for black people. Kind of like how Congress was mostly about sticking up for the rights of white people (at the expense of anyone else) until the 1960's. Kind of how like the KKK was all about the rights of white people to the exclusion of everyone else until people got tired of their crap for the most part.
I don't listen to Joy Reid, why should I. I get my fill of racism from the likes of you on the internet.
Travis McMichael was approaching Arbery with a shotgun. I would say he was an extreme threat to Arbery's life and no reasonable person would trust anyone who was chasing them in a truck. In my opinion Arbery had every right to use deadly force against the people who were chasing him that day.
But go ahead and tell me why you would trust anyone who was chasing you like they chased Arbery that day.
A lot of good that law enforcement training did them while they were continually escalating the situation.
Mighty brave of you to call the jury cowards from the relative anonymity of the internet. Would you say that to their face?
I think the reason they got a guilty verdict is that it just isn't so damn popular to be a raging insane racist anymore. People like the McMichaels are the outliers now, not the normal
Now they need to bring to justice, the people who wanted to keep the McMichaels from being arrested. They watched the same video, they understand the same laws, there is no excuse for the kind of corruption they demonstrated.
So you're saying that the jury, judge and prosecutors are afraid of your imaginary black militants?
She was appealing to the racists (if any) in the jury who would agree that the three men gave an "uppity black man" his just desserts for not properly respecting them while they were trying to chase him down in their truck.
All three men were part of a team that hunted down and murdered Arbery. It is not a defense to murder that you only "drove the killers to the crime scene and made a snuff video of their activities".
So if a person is chased down by armed men, then decides to defend himself, the shooter is justified in killing the person he was attacking?
Legal eagle on Youtube has an interesting video on the shooting. Killing a person does not always mean there will be murder or manslaughter charges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmAeMQCvZQ
Morally, everyone who discharges a firearm is responsible for where the bullet goes.
Actually 487 people say Fauci should resign. 937 x .52 = 487.
