Black Lives Matter

[Dev]

black lives matter

no ifs ands or buts

this shit sucks

want to be clear on that

[Strat]

What makes it even more sickening right now is this incident juxtaposed against the angry white men with assault rifles and armor marching on capital grounds.

How long before Trump calls those two in Georgia great people?

[Peeps]

while he did say it looks bad he also said there may have been things we didnt see

[wease]

He should just go ahead and pardon them.

[Peeps]

actually they are the new secretary of defense

[wease]

Sounds about right

[epilogue]

That was a great post, Peeps. I'd laugh if I wasn't so furious about this whole story.

Back on topic: hopefully these men receive heavy sentences and aren't acquitted.

That video was f'n brutal. I'd like to think there's too much attention on this case for some kind of justice to not be served.

I'd like to think that as well, but its hard to have faith these days.

Sadly, yes. This seems like one of those situations where the prosecutor charges them with something beyond what they are confident they can get a conviction on and blows the case.

I honestly believe this will get fucked up. He was an investigator for the DA's office. They'll take care of their own. After all, it was only a black kid. It wasn't like he was white or anything.

[Peeps]

i dont have faith this will get fucked up. i accepted it will be fucked up hence why it took 2 months for them to be charged.

there is no doubt in my mind i the races were reversed one of the killers would have unexplainable injuries that happened when he resisted

this is the same state i believe that said, nah you know what, heres a drivers license theres no need to test

This along with the constant news cycle and public interest reaching zero in anything after twenty-four to forty-eight hours will bear this out to be true and simply reflective of the modern day.

Nothing about Ahmaud Arbery?

It was in 2 different threads, but this one's probably overdue.

[Bammer]

Does tree know about this thread yet?

[wease]

Well, we know what side he’ll take.

I in absolutely no way support the atrocity that just happened. it's horrifying

but there is a new video today that shows when he was jogging he stopped at this house that was under construction and went all around inside for 5 minutes and came out and then went jogging again

the neighbors thought it was a burglary

again I am not justifying chasing a person and shooting them. it's horrible.

but just some additional context is available now

but to be clear: IT IS HORRIBLE AND INEXCUSABLE

Oh ffs. Even if he did that that is still no justification and to even bring that up is to try to cast doubt. It’s the same as saying I can’t be racist I have black friends

They said there were a string of robberies in the area yet oddly enough no one reported any robberies in the weeks leading up to it.

Even if there were video of him taking something out of there that is still no reason to shoot him, cops or rednecks

Yeah, if he was running down the street laughing maniacally with his arms full of cash and jewellery hanging out of his pockets, that still doesn't even begin to justify this kind of response.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

yeah if the house was under construction what could he have just run away with? obviously the redneck vigilantes would be able to see he had nothing on him
