you are using to hand this cretin back his white privilege card. 1st off Bryon agreed to the trial date, therefor negating your perceived civil right violation.

Travis McMichael testified that all 3 of them chased and cornered Arbery. And Bryan told the police at the scene that he though he hit Arbery with his truck. So yes, his charges and guilty verdict were well earned. He participated in hunting down a human being and murdering him in cold blood.

As for giving the police the video, he only did so because he thought it made him look innocent. Not for some altruistic reason.
