the "Black Lives Matter" movement; and remains aghast that some professional athletes might peacefully take a knee in protest of the systemic mistreatment - no, check that - the systemic murder of their black brothers, what do you have to say today?
Examine, if you will, the case of Ahmaud Arbery, a strong, young black male who was gunned down in cold blood by a racist white ex-cop and his butt-stupid son. Mr. Arbery's crime? Jogging while black. Period. Full stop.
Georgia officials fucking KNOW who did it, where and when they did it, and why they claim to have done it.
No arrests have been forthcoming.
So now, can any of you fucking idiots possibly wrap what passes for your head around some of the reasons why so many people have said ENOUGH! This shit must stop!
Do you get it now, assholes?
Does it fucking register in the least?
***Sigh*** Probably not.
You'll continue to sport your MAGA gear in support of a narcissistic prick who called the aforementioned athletes "sons of bitches", and called for them to lose their jobs.
Well, enjoy it while you can, peckerwoods.
A storm is coming.

I have been a hunter for over 50 years, and generally hit what I aim at. (But I seriously doubt it will come to that.)

(12,533 posts)They're wrong, of course. The facts of this case, as we know them, show that they are wrong. Its a "citizens arrest" law thats been around for awhile. But the requirements of that law were not met.
This is another case of cops covering for other "cops", even though the dad wasnt currently a cop. He knew pretty much everyone on the force. The "official" report contradicts recorded statements too. This SHOULD have been referred to the GBI from the start
One or both of these idiots is going to go down.

(1,988 posts)The Right needs a racial incident to scare disillusioned voters back to the polls for Trump, and this is going to play right into their hands I am afraid. Biden needs to leave it alone. Every Democrat politician needs to leave this alone and let Georgia take care of it. Lebron James needs to shut the hell up about "black people being hunted everyday", as it is racial nonsense that's just going to make people "take sides". I hate it that too many people don't understand what I am saying. This is a local crime; nothing more, nothing less. If Fox News goes all "George Zimmerman" on this, you can be 100% sure its part of Trumps plan. Don't fall for it.

I can GUARANTEE that more than just arrest warrants would be forthcoming.

I get more ashamed of so many of my lily white Trumper relatives with every tragedy, who disowned this Californian long ago anyway.
