Three men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery sentenced to life in prison

ABC’s legal experts and trial attorneys react to the sentencing of Ahmaud Arbery’s killers Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael and William “Roddie” Bryan.

[@FrankYammy]

Crazy to think. All these three guys had to do was literally nothing. Could have just watched baseball on tv and be free rn

What they did because the hate in their mind explode at the time they saw Ahmaud running by their neighbors.

It’s hard for racists to mind their business. They can’t stand people they hate being free and considered equal members of society. They literally could have stayed home called the cops and let the police handle it if they thought something was wrong , they would be free right now with their families but that hate in their hearts woudnt let them live free , now they’re in jail with all the rest of societies garbage. Enjoy that

CCW law holds gun carriers to police standards..... This case is and should ONLY be about the EXACT moment when Arbery, in the act of RUSHING at McMichaels and is told to STOP by a man pointing a SHOTGUN AT him from a 30 yd"s + distance does NOT STOP, but continues rushing at a man holding a shotgun pointed at him telling him to STOP, but he ignores and grabs the gun while wrestling with McMichaels, which ONLY THEN, does shoot Arbery in self-defense. He gave Arbery every single BENEFIT of the doubt! ALL CCW arms experts would say he actually waited too long and the extent of Arbery's penetration to McMichaels body and gun was really too far for a successful self-defense to happen in most cases. They would say McMichaels is luckier than hell he wasn't dead instead of Arbery. Experts would say never let an attacker this close, and NEVER let them grab the gun!! Remember, Arbery was the attacker according to the. POLICE CCW carrier laws. Arbery being chased, hunted or whatever by a white supremacist(s) chasing him in a truck yelling get that black thief basically anything that is disgusting, STILL has nothing to do with this case!! That is another trial. IF Arbery had stopped running and put up his hands, stands there and waits for cops to arrive and tell them his story No matter how much McMichael was racist or bigoted(all speculation in the beginning), or if he was even revealed correctly later, it still doesn't matter!! WHY? Arbery comes down the street jogging then suddenly decides to go into a house under construction (six times; nice house) in as he knew was a typical average SYSTEMICALLY WHITE RACIST populated neighborhood and looks around (maybe he had to take a leak, who knows?) Still, Arbery has not commited a crime, that's a fact!! Done looking, He immediately continues his jogging workout, still no crime by him. Arbery's crime was going from being hunted down while runnig, to deciding HE, BEINGLY RIGHTLY MAD AS HELL was going to turn the tables and hunt down this racist man with a shotgun aimed for him, grab it and shoot him instead and teach this SOB a lesson! He must have really been pissed off , for sure!! IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THIS LAW: In some states CCW law holds carriers to police standards, if some one is attempting grab my firearm, it's because they want to use it against me, that constitutes a threat to my life.

He walked to the house, at least per the video. Neighbor across was curious what Arbery as up to,… so he watched Arbery, called the non-emergency police line about Arbery's activity,…. even had his gun with him,… so he said,… and then Arbery ran quickly out of the house and quickly down the street, 'hauling ass' as Greg McM noted. They got Greg suspicious of Arbery's activities, he recognized Arbery from previous 'snooping', such as on the vids,… and decided to accost him, and he called 911 on Arbery as got his things together and got in the truck with Travis.

Just imagine the conversation they were having around the dinner table prior to the murder. They were lying in wait for Ahmaud and when that opportunity presented itself, they pounced on it with deadly intentions. They enjoyed every minute of that deadly game. It felt euphoric for them to see Ahmaud running scared up & down the street. Ahmaud, alone running for his life while they're yelling "stop or I'll blow your f'king head off" . Does anyone really believe they told Ahmaud to stop so that they could talk? Really? They stated they didn't see him take anything. They also witnessed on video that Ahmaud didn't steal anything. The owner of the construction home stated that Ahmaud didn't steal anything nor did he suspect he stole items from his boat. So what were they gonna talk to Ahmaud about? They enjoyed playing cat & mouse with him and when they exhausted him to a point where he couldn't run anymore, that angered them. Ahmaud ended their entertainment. At that point they knew Ahmaud had no other choice but to defend himself. And so they ended Ahmaud's life and simultaneously destroyed others' lives.

Equality before the law, under the law, in the eyes of the law is the sole principle that all people must be equally protected by the law. This principle requires a systematic rule of law that observes due process to provide equal justice, & requires equal protection ensuring that no individual nor any group of individuals be privileged over others by the law.

[@redjoker6clans]

@IamMattie Black supremacy or black supremacism is a racial supremacist belief which maintains that black people are superior to people of other races. Early sources for these beliefs include Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy (1920s), Holy Piby (1920s), and The Promised Key (1935), which reworks material from the earlier two sources. In the 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. said that a doctrine of black supremacy was as dangerous as white supremacy.

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

Steve Osunsami you are grossly misquoting the judge. He didn’t say a black man doesn’t have to stop if questioned by a white man, or that a Caucasian doesn’t have to stop if questioned by an Asian etc. He made no reference to race, only you did. The judge and the prosecutor stated simply that NOBODY, irrespective of race, has to stop and be detained against their will (aside from civil authorities of course). While I’m very thankful that they were convicted on the tragic merits of the crime, your statement was the very definition of race-baiting.

[@justpde]

By inference, judge said exactly what the reporter iterated. Listen and hear.

[@Unfinished_sentenc]

@@justpde the prosecutor and judge stated clearly that no US Citizen can be detained unwillingly. There is no sense for the reporter to say that a Latino doesn’t have to stop if being chased by an Asian, etc. By stating such, it turns it into a purely racial thing which is totally unnecessary.
