These 3 men almost got away with it. Theyre buddy buddy with the cops in that town and they almost swept this under the rug. Public outcry forced them to take it seriously. One of the idiots showing them the video he made that he thought would absolve them helped them get this conviction. These guys were their fall guys so they could say see we do take this seriouslythey didnt want to initially. We got justice today but we gotta continue to force accountability because they wont be forcing it on themselves.

RIP Ahmaud Arbery

It is scary how it was only thanks to the one idiot who posted the video he recorded that these guys even faced justice.

True. This isn't the end. More cases like this might not get the same outcome. We got lucky today

And don't forget the first DA looked at the video and said it was justified.

And this crap exists in every rural small town in America.

For every Arbery we see there are probably hundreds we dont.

It's terrifying how many crimes were only found and punished because either a civilian was recording, or the criminal recorded themselves. The fight for accountability never ends, but today was a victory.

May Ahmaud Arbery rest easy now.

True, it's not a cause for celebration of the bare minimum of what justice demands. These people could have gotten away with it, and would have if not for that video.

Not over yet. The DA who covered it up still needs to go to prison.

They told his mom he died trying to rob a store. Could you imagine his Mom having to live with that lie the rest of her life?

It's not. They just thought they could use their authority to intimidate the victims.

What they weren't expecting was that William Bryan was really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really stupid.

Thats whats incredibly frustrating. The video was obviously clear as day murder. For the DA to say that is asinine.

Truly a horrific case and a reminder that things have not changed all that much. The murder was one thing, but when you recall how things unfolded over the course of it all, it makes it that much more grim.

Its really no different than Chauvin. He would have been free right now if not for the videos. Once the videos forced their hand it was there see, we convicted him, happy now?no. Were not. Because you wouldnt have done it otherwise and just did it to create an illusion of justice.

in the past few weeks weve had cases like a rapist getting off with probation, 2 teens being charged with an 8 year olds death because a cop shot wildly at the car and towards pedestriansour justice system needs help.

Character is what you are in the dark, and these people have demonstrably proven how wicked they are when they're sure no one will find out.
