I shouldn't say it this way, but it gave me great pleasure watching the three murderers walking....

[George II]

....out to the Sherriffs Deputies' cars in handcuffs.

[FoxNewsSucks]

1. Nothing wrong with being satisfied to see justice done.

It doesn't happen often enough.

[soldierant]

28. If nothing else, a sight like that makes me feel safer.

A lot safer. Even when it's geographically not close to me.

Nothing wrong with feeling safer.

[Demobrat]

2. I missed that.

I did enjoy watching their faces as the verdicts were read though.

[Irish_Dem]

3. I couldn't watch the trial. What was the look on their faces when the verdicts came in?

[George II]

5. All three faces were frozen. They looked scared even before the judge began reading them.....

They knew they were guilty and that the prosecutor had them by the gonads.

[Irish_Dem]

7. So they weren't surprised at all? Or taken aback?

They knew the prosecutor had them by the short hairs?

[Demobrat]

21. They looked to me like they were trying hard not to react

but the first one in particular looked like he was about to cry when the first guilty verdict was read. After that he was just frozen.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Very interesting. Thank you!

You are right, at some point in the trial, reality began to sink in.
They probably held some small hope that the jury would be racist and set them free.
But they were prepared for the worst.

[Ilsa]

8. Monday (or Tuesday?) during prosecution rebuttal,

they looked angry, scared, guilty, incredulous at different times among the three of them.

The father and son looked more angry and guilty, like they can't believe their defense and lies against a young black man didn'tpersuade the jury.

The third man looked scared and guilty. His lawyer tried to sell him as a simpleton.

[Irish_Dem]

9. So they were angry to see their defense shot down.

Shocked that no one was buying their nonsense.

Then resigned today it sounds like.

Sounds like the stages of grieving. They have deservedly lost their freedom for a very long time.

Thank you for the details....

[Ilsa]

10. I want all three to be angry about not getting away with murder,

and be angry about not getting a white supreme man's acquittal. I hope they are frustrated about how the culture is changing.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yep. I wonder if it will ever sink in their entitled, crazy brains.

Will they ever understand that their belief system is wrong and that times are changing in their state.
Or just be angry until they die.

[calimary]

22. I suspect they already are.

[hlthe2b]

4. I saw the looks on their faces as verdicts were read--especially the guy who videotaped...

I missed the walk,, but their faces told the story--as it should

[happy feet]

13. I loved the video guy most of all. Not in his wildest nightmares did he ever think he would be

convicted of murder. He looked like he wanted to cry for two straight days, first during the prosecution's argument and then during the verdict.

[Hav]

19. I think he should have turned on the other two

and testify himself. It might have saved him from getting guilty verdicts for some of the charges. He needed a clear separation from the McMichaels, in my opinion, but his lawyer was too focused on black pastors.

[Aristus]

6. "This is bad, ain't it, Daddy?"

" 'Fraid so, Travis. Ah reckon our grits is cooked fer sher..."

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. Will their Defense Attorneys file an appeal based on.....

Too many Black Pastors in the Court room in order to intimidate the Jury?

The audacity of the white Defense Attorney to even suggest that in the first place.

[Ilsa]

15. There will be appeals, but tv lawyers said

the appeals will likely be denied.

The federal charges are next, and more of the despicable, racist behavior will be exposed.

[mrsadm]

29. What federal charges are next? I thought they were convicted today.

[Tree Lady]

14. Hopefully it will stop someone thinking

They can go after any black guy. It has got insane in this country.

[Efilroft Sul]

16. Hell, yeah, it's a great thing to see.

[LiberalFighter]

17. I hope it felt like an encyclopedia was thrown at them.

[Gore1FL]

18. Nothing at all wrong with the way you said it.

Four lives were ruined the day Ahmaud Arbery was murdered. It's nice to see the 3 responsible face that ruination.

[ancianita]

20. Say it any way you want. Your reaction is appropriate to the justice meted against these murderers.

[calimary]

23. I still can't quite believe it ended this way!

But haven’t been near the news all day. Certainly HOPED this was how it would end!

[ancianita]

31. Well, if you consider how worried white GA folk are, you'd know this had to be the decision.

Black people have had it, and GA has the biggest black/white population ration in the country. Will black people in GA tip their hand; of course not, not with fragile guilt ridden whites.

So it's way more practical on the ground than we think. IMHO, we have a privileged bias that keeps us thinking that whites on this jury only decided from a justice standpoint. I don't think so.

[Texaswitchy]

32. I thought the trial would end this way.

Enough is enough.

The white people on the jury had no choice.

[Hav]

24. For anyone feeling just a little bit guilty

for being joyful that those fuckers are being put away, some of the last words that Arbery heard as he was laying on the ground, dying, were reportedly "Fking n-word".

[Hortensis]

25. Wouldn't have minded seeing it, but their party ended with Arbery's murder.

They've had to watch this coming for over a year now and now get to find out if they will serve life in prison with or without chance of parole.

Then off to their federal trial on hate crime charges, and the maximum there is the death penalty. So the no-fun continues.

[tishaLA]

26. In county lockup for now

In the same county where the former DA chose not to charge them and the cops fumbled the investigation from the beginning. We're just lucky there was video and the guy who recorded it was dumb enough to let it get out in the public because the same folks who are now keeping them behind bars spent 70 days making sure they didn't end up there.

[Texasgal]

30. Happy Thanksgiving you assholes!

I hope you enjoy your bolongna sandwich!
