This defence attorney gives me the creeps

[@aycay47629]

Anybody would have?? Lol he’s not serious right? Someone needs to let him know WE ARE NOT ALL KARENS

[@briarrose29]

...and we aren't all vigilantes.

[@tammyw1873]

he was a participant! He used his truck to help chase Mr Arbery down plain and simple.

[@mysterio3504]

The getaway driver never enters the bank yet is held to the same account as the robber himself, Roddie chased Aubery down just as much as the McMicheals so he's the "get away driver" in this case no?

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

Mysterio 1066, very good analogy of this case. He should be prosecuted right along side his racist buddies. They look like KKK members.

If it wasn't about race then why was he followed and then called the N word after he was shot dead ?

@@atate23, no, William Roddie Bryan did not say that at the scene. He said it long after the fact, and only after retaining Kevin Gough as his attorney, but the case has nothing to do with race!?!

don't care what the skin color is. this was a cold blooded murder. as a combat vet. and former L.E.O. if i'm on that jury i'm voting GUILTY on all charges. be well.

[@shishkebab5306]

Unarmed? I don't think so, he used his damn truck!

[@karenmilligan5597]

What about when his recording was released , you can plainly hear him loading a revolver or pistol as in putting one in the chamber. Has everyone forgotten that important fact?

[@SumMumBoMum]

We dont believe your client was a witness. He admitted that he tried to stop Ahmaud.

[@shannonwilson1416]

He was a witness for the two white guys but it back fired

[@cathywiggins767]

Yup he was a participate so to prison he should go also.

The man who recorded the video also used his vehicle to prevent the victim from escaping. Witnesses don't partake in the crime.

“You have a father and a son. It doesn’t sound too scary to me.” No, you have a father and son, 2 loaded firearms, a multi-ton pursuit vehicle, and intent to interfere. That sounds like a pretty formidable package, if you’re on the other side of it, with only your 2 legs and 2 fists.

[@Refresh2b]

He participated in a murder. Don't know of any "patriotic" serial murderers. This atty is going to get his client the DP. Keep up the good work!

[@sayitloudblkmedia98]

There is nothing to debate. The verdict is in... GUILTY‼

[@josephwallace8875]

You can't say Bryan lost his freedom. HiS RACISM AND participation in MURDER, CAUSED HIM TO FORFEITS HIS FREEDOM.

[@georgeeatmon7673]

I see an inadequate representation on his appeal if his lawyer actually believes he did what all Americans would do

[@suzitee8225]

“Nothing to do with race”? 😧 Did he really just say that, with a straight face? 🤦🏻‍♀️ OMFG!!! Seriously. This is the one case, above and beyond all the others atm, that I have absolutely NO doubt whatsoever, had EVERYTHING to do with race. Even in the murder of George Floyd, it could be argued, that Chauvin is just a sadist, and “got off” on the power, of the situation. And Rayshard Brooks, I honestly believe that copper acted out of fear. But from the very beginning, it’s been clear to me, the motivation for poor Amhaud Arbreys death!! 😰🤬 Ps. I apologise for the spellings of the names in this comment. I just took my best guess! 😬

[@YeahClickClack]

It’s not possible the McMichales and this gumbo idiot where just trying to be wanna be cops instead of being racially motivated?

[@suzitee8225]

YeahClickClack anything’s possible. That’s just my opinion. I didn’t think I had to point that fact out?

[@turntableone4356]

He lost his house, his car and his job. Be interested to see how he 'walks' when he enters the courtroom and see if his behind has been stretched out.

[@numb3rs496]

He's being held in Protective Custody. Administrative Segregation. Single cell, locked down 23 hrs a day.

Did Bryan's lawyer say the father and son are not very scary? Oh my god.

Someone should have told Ahmaud being a burglar was bad for his health .

[@KevinP32270]

@@mickhunt5769 the only people on camera that stole anything were TWO KIDS. you want them hunted down and murdered as well? even if he had stolen anything you cannot hunt someone down in trucks with guns, hit that person with one of the trucks while they are running away from you, then get out and MURDER that person just cause you THOUGHT they stole something. as a combat vet. and former L.E.O. this was a cold blooded MURDER. be well.

Roddie had better come up with a dam good excuse for the reason why he intentionally left his home to block Aubrey off from jogging for the Mc Michaels.

[@bonnielee7134]

Ok, so if you're out in public and a fiasco happens, which is evident by gasping people, and people chasing him says, stop that man, and he's coming towards you and you help out and stop him. You wouldn't be doing nothing wrong. This lawyer is going to have to prove that. It'll be interesting to see how he does.

[@jackiezimbo]

A father and son was actually what was there and had the dangerous outcome that someone ended up dead. Dumb comment

[@dottiscamprunamuck2830]

Personally I don't think it is about race. Either he they were lawful or not. The shooting happened, because of the wresting match over the gun.

[@JuttaBerlin]

why did he hand in his video?

[@cameronangel1013]

Oh I get it, popular opinion seems to be that a criminal can get away with any and everything there's nothing wrong with defending your neighborhood people

[@geraldineallen8060]

What did Ahmaud steal . From any of their Properties. Where is all the videos of him stealing anything from their homes . Most of them had Cameras . Not one of them shows Ahmaud on them except. On the construction site just as others have also been there. So I guess you would get you gun out to go chase a person who was not bothering you. Now they are Criminals in Prison for Life. Tell me what was they protecting? Ask Travis why didn't he go after the person who he believed stole his gun. He gave a Facebook the name. He said Ahmaud was no where on the neighbors home video that was seen by h ik m. I guess the camera must have shown his vsr

[@caraislabonita5209]

I think it's a mistake to charge this guy with MURDER! I think it would be more appropriate to treat him as a witness.

[@caraislabonita5209]

@Torchy Brown if THAT'S clear, why is he denying it? Why don't they show the video of him blocking Armhaud to shut him up? If that's true, then he's not just a witness and is where he belongs
