You cannot watch the Ahmaud Arbery murder case without realizing

that these murderous thugs would NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED if the video had not come out

Just watched some of the police body cam footage from after the shooting. Cop was greeting the shooters father like he was a long lost relative. At one point, the officer assures the killers father that, "of course little Travis wouldn't be handcuffed", and "we've just got him in the ambulance cleaning some of the blood off of him".

Seems like the hunting and murder of a black man was just SOP for this community.

I think it is way past time to pick a side, because the other side has already chosen.

They want people like this to be able to murder with impunity

BTW - people who think like this have been the majority power in this country for over 200 years. From Georgia to Maine, from New York to California, the reality is that yes...this is who we are.

If we truly want to be different, we need to use the ballot box to destroy these people.

To me, that is why there is so much extremism on the right.

The America where armed white men can hunt down those that are different (and that includes not only race, but political ideology), murder them, and get away scot free is what they want.

No, let me correct that...IT'S WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE

They will do whatever it takes to hold on to that America.

We simply MUST take it from them.
