Poll of the Day > What do you think will be the verdict in the ahmed arbury trial?

(+) Yeah! (+)

what do you think will be the verdict reached?

---

Despite the clear similarities in the respective cases, I think the murderers charged in this case are not as likely to get off as Rittenhouse.

Then again, I thought Casey Anthony would be found guilty.

---

If it's not a guilty verdict, then I guess murder is just legal now.

So all the footage I saw of Kyle made it easy to attempt and paint him as a victim especially if you only pay attention to the video.

The footage of the drive by lynching is very clear in regards to who is the aggressor and who is the victim. The men pursue a fleeing man, strike him with their truck, physically assault and then murder him when he attempt to defend himself. I know there exist good lawyers who can attempt to argue black is white, but there is an uphill battle for them to make any sort of argument claiming they are victims. I personally don't recall having seen anything attempt to defend them.

Additionally I haven't heard about any suspicious behavior from the judge of this case like there was from the judge of Kyles case who was very clearly biased. Though that could just be because there is very little reporting on the trial.

Guilty of murder, cause they chased him down and murdered him

Lol, yeah. Only if you pay attention to the direct video evidence of exactly what happened. Jesus, talk about denial.

These guys on the other hand are boned. They were clearly the aggressors.
But hey, what do I know. I was only paying attention to the video evidence.

In the AA incident you have 3 redneck "good ol boys" hunting down a black guy running in their neighborhood. Trying to cry "citizens arrest" because they thought him guilty of stealing or something. Instead of just calling police like they should have done if they truly believed him to be the person doing it and let the cops sort it out. A probably terrified AA tries to defend himself and he is murdered in the street. That citizens arrest thing really needs to be reevaluated
I see guilty here, its just a matter of how guilty (what level of murder) I don't see it going well for them. They need to just ask what exactly where the intentions of these guys when they jumped in their trucks and went after him. Was their intention to kill him from the start, or was it a case of the whole situation spiraling out of control and they shot him out of fear because he fought back? I'm thinking it probably resides somewhere at the 2nd Degree Murder for the two and 3rd degree for the camera man... if those charges are even on the table. I haven't been paying as much attention to it.

Which is different than the RH case. Where you have a bunch of people who on ALL sides SHOULD NOT have been there. "Peaceful protesters" my ass all over the country during that time you had people going out to "protests" with their actual motive to riot, pillage and steal. They were all there where they didn't belong, those people chose to go after and try and attack RH which I find beyond stupid considering he had a gun strapped to his chest and RH defended himself, and I sure as hell don't like the kid or his political views, I do believe he had every right to defend himself. (I mean what he's supposed to do? let them attack him? gtfo if you actually think so) This one should have never even gone to trial.

Also lol @ people who really believe Rittenhouse and Arbery trial are even remotely comparable.

You say that as if that was always the sole purpose for the protests when in actuality the vast majority of people showing up to those protests were peaceful. Of course people show up to take advantage of the situation. That seems to be the nature of large protests in general. Tell me, how do you feel about police brutality and systemic racism?

Put them under the jail

Police 100% overstep their authority and abuse it in the name of the law. I find a large majority of police to have certain characteristics and they widely abuse their authority definitely overly brutal in their execution of the law. They have an internal buddy buddy system where they protect their own as well. I am not a fan of police as a whole. On the flip side however if they are going after someone with a known history of violence, a criminal wrap sheet a mile long, a level of force out of the gate should be expected.

I do find most systemic racism claims to be misjudged and what is often deemed and accused as racial discrimination is often actually wealth discrimination. The all mighty wealthy that influence and have a heavy hand in the laws and regulations of the country I really don't think are doing it based on the color of the skin or a the culture. Its more about keeping the poor poor their goal to make themselves more wealthy and maintain it. Keep the poor down while elevating themselves up. It just happens that minorities make up a major chunk of the poor.

I just think racism claims as a whole today are often misrepresented. Go to any poor white neighborhood and they don't live any better and they are just as discriminated against by law enforcement. You go to any poor/run down part of town of any racial makeup and that whole area has a preconceived stereotype of its inhabitants. In the city I live in we have two major "bad" areas of town, which is the areas with the more run down parts of the city and high crime rates. One is the area that is mostly comprised of minorities and the other is the where all the "white trash" lives. They are both looked at with preconceived notions. I for a number of years lived on the outskirts of said latter place and have had situations where I had dealings with the police despite not having any criminal history, just the fact I lived in the area, I was prejudged by them as just a piece of white trash not worth helping in a case where I needed and then was accused of things in other cases.

There are clearly real examples of actual racism in the country and world, but I find that people tend to throw the "racism" card out at anything that doesn't go the way they think it should. Its incredibly hard to not become desensitized to it. The Boy that Cried Wolf scenario.

It's Blackscythe0. He's so high on copium right now you can safely ignore anything he says.

I think its important to remind people that until video of the killing went public and people became outraged and called for action, no arrests were made. 3 convicted murderers. Terribly transparent corruption. And so many want to pretend it just doesnt exist anymore.

It does, its systemic, and it is widespread
