Right. But you don’t fight that by pretending he had Timberlands on and pretending the fact that his cousin went to jail is relevant.

Sounds like you’re predicting not guilty and going to be mad about it.


I'm not predicting anything.

I don't know Georgia laws, but if they are anything like Florida's SYG law they are morally flawed and need revising. But I don't live in Georgia so that's a fight they will have to make for themselves. Louisiana Laws are quite different and thankfully so.

Tell you what. Given the video, paint a scenario for us that justifies the actions of the two guys.


A reasonable explanation of what these guys were doing before the incident is important. This goes to their motive.
Were they involved in some kind of neighborhood watch?. Did they have a previous run in with the diseased? Had they had previous altercations or previous “arrests”? Did the cops know what they were doing? How did they respond so quickly? Did they have their firearms loaded and ready? The answers to these type questions are important.

The TWO shooters? You have some new evidence we don't know about?

Welcome to political talk on tigerdroppings, where making sweeping statements about the board is cool, regardless of how much disagreement there is on the topic.

Imagine being this prideful about being TeamZimmerman

Imagine thinking a person should be allowed to bash someone's head into the concrete, attempting to kill them, and that the person being attacked shouldn't be allowed to use deadly force to defend himself.

If the guy wasn’t physically threatening them, or breaking into a house that they themselves were occupying, all of it boils down to that these guys didn’t like a black dude in their neighborhood bc he was a black dude.


Why can’t you see how stupid and hypocritical this sounds? Given what we know now, how can you possibly say something this ignorant


That’s like saying ‘well we know the guy was stealing because he was black’

And they were right


And you're still wrong.
Zimmerman was a case of self defense.

This case will boil down to self defense as well. Arbery was attacking McMichael (punching him and trying to take the gun).

The *only legal question* will be if it was legal for them to have their guns out.

But when Arbery was aggressing, trying to get the gun, the shooting became self defense.

Welcome to political talk on tigerdroppings where self defense is framed as "racist vigilantism" by leftists.

Imagine thinking a private citizen has every right to stalk someone with a loaded weapon for no other reason besides they "look suspicious"

I think it became a national story because the first DA did nothing.
If he had a proper investigation and was transparent then it probably wouldn’t be as big of a deal.

Is it?
Is that what the court said, or what you say, in spite of the court's decision?

Worth noting that while we’ve seen a video of it, a video does not show what happened before the camera started rolling.

I think the two dudes are trash and deserve to face the consequences, but there is more that we don’t know and there’s nothing wrong with asking questions or discussing it since it’s the only major news story that’s not COVID related right now other than the Flynn story.

Some dude in this thread said that these guys shot the dude only because they didn’t like a black man in their neighborhood

How is that any different?
