I am watching CNN.

As the female reporter was describing the murder of Ahmaud Arbery she actually said, "allegedly jogging".

I can't type what I called her repeatedly out loud.

It switched to the male reporter and he said, "Ahmaud Arbery was jogging".

1. Allegedly jogging?

Was it sprinting or walking then? Either way he was moving under his own steam and not interfering with anyone else. Or is that now "alleged"?

Geesh ..

Reading anything about the Central Park jogger where it was said she was “allegedly jogging”.

5. I imagine Trump will take out full page ads calling for the death penalty for the "Brunswick 2" now.

Nah, probably not. He'll need every vote come November.

Will these two fine specimens of southern inbreeding be able to vote while awaiting trial? I'm guessing yes.

7. Legal custom gets a bit fuzzy when it comes to POC.

Some other things do too:
In the zip code of N. Jacksonville, the advertised official Covid-19 infection count is MUCH lower than that of the "Southside&quot
or any adjacent zip areas). Both are relatively populous, the northside generally more densely than Southside. Guess which is predominantly POC.
Guess which area one is more likely to observe joggers.

8. Allegedly jogging - what a joke. Has she not seen the real time video of Ahmaud Arbery jogging.

in local reporting for several years now they will say alleged when speaking of somebody charged with a crime. I’ve never heard them say that of the victim though. I may get in trouble for saying this. Was the woman reporter white? If this is inappropriate for me to ask, I will delete my post.

I keep wanting to broaden my viewing, but there's way too much Fox in way too many CNN shows.
