frick off.

Hate Crime laws are racist and should be unconstitutional.

Or at the very least, they should be objective and equally applied. I think you'd then see who is committing the overwhelming majority of hate crimes in this country over the last 40+ years... along with the majority of violent crime in general.

idk, their case boiled down to " my life was threatened because arbery almost stole the gun that I was pointing at him"

If the dude wanted to murder Arbery, he would have just shot him immediately. If he was just pointing the gun at him to detain him, until the real police got there, which happens often enough, and Arbery attempted to grab it and take it from him, that is arguably enough of a threat to shoot. Is he supposed to wait for arbery to snatch the gun from him completely and point it at him before he can do anything? frick Arbery. Not buying he was just an innocent, law abiding guy, out for a liesurely jog and doze rayciss white rednecks shot him for being black. As much as liberals want to try to act like we're still living in the pre-civil rights era Jim Crow/KKK South today that kind of stuff just isn't happening. It's happening much more the other way than it is the way liberals want to act like it is happening. And the crime data backs it up, which is why cities and the FBI are not even releasing the racial data (victims and perps) on violent crime anymore. Completely debunks their narrative.

Oh.....you were really mean for what you did.....just for being sooooo mean here's some more time.

One of the prosecutors said he was likely in the house because he wanted to build a house.

I mean don't everyone does this. I've been to unfinished homes.. Especially those that were posted for sale. Just to check them out. OMG how suspicious.

I’ll assume that you didn’t follow the trial, so you missed where they admitted that they did not see him commit a crime, were not making a lawful citizens arrest, and had absolutely no right to “detain” him. From start to finish in the entire encounter, Arbury was the victim of crimes that they were committing. Speaking of justified threats, had he had his own gun, he would have been justified in pulling it and killing Travis.

Is your reasoning really “if they wanted to kill him they’d have done it sooner?”

What was Arbery supposed to do here?

Apparently submit to “citizens arrest.”

In what universe would this action in this situation have been legal?

It doesn’t matter what you think.
It only mattered to the jury who thought he was a racist, and he had no reason to harass, to intimidate and finally shoot Aubrey.
