Justice is served.

Hope all three of these white supremacists (that's probably too nice a term for these yahoo hillbilles) never see the light of day again.

Unfortunately, they won't suffer the same as their victim.

Fortunately, this didn't drag on and on. The jury reached a verdict swiftly.

All 3 men charged in Arbery's death convicted of murder
Jurors have convicted the three white men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery


BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- Jurors on Wednesday convicted the three white men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the Black man who was chased and fatally shot while running through their neighborhood in an attack that became part of the larger national reckoning on racial injustice.

The jury deliberated for about 10 hours before convicting Greg McMichael, son Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, who all face minimum sentences of life in prison. It is up to the judge to decide whether that comes with or without the possibility of parole.

Travis McMichael stood for the verdict, his lawyer’s arm around his shoulder. At one point, McMichael lowered his head to his chest. After the verdicts were read, as he stood to leave, he mouthed “love you” to his mother, who was in the courtroom.

Moments after the verdicts were announced, Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery Sr., was seen crying and hugging supporters outside the courtroom.

“He didn’t do nothing,” the father said, “but run and dream.”

Ben Crump, attorney for Arbery’s father, spoke outside the courthouse, saying repeatedly, “The spirit of Ahmaud defeated the lynch mob.”

Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, thanked the crowd gathered for the verdict and said she did not think she would see this day.

“It’s been a long fight. It’s been a hard fight. But God is good,” she said. Of her son, she said, “He will now rest in peace.”

The McMichaels grabbed guns and jumped in a pickup truck to pursue the 25-year-old after seeing him running outside the Georgia port city of Brunswick in February 2020. Bryan joined the pursuit in his own pickup and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael fatally shooting Arbery.

The father and son told police they suspected Arbery was a fleeing burglar. But the prosecution argued that the men provoked the fatal confrontation and that there was no evidence Arbery had committed crimes in the neighborhood.

“We commend the courage and bravery of this jury to say that what happened on Feb. 23, 2020, to Ahmaud Arbery — the hunting and killing of Ahmaud Arbery — it was not only morally wrong but legally wrong, and we are thankful for that,” said Latonia Hines, Cobb County executive assistant district attorney.

Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski added: “The jury system works in this country, and when you present the truth to people and they see it, they will do the right thing.”

Bryan's attorney, Kevin Gough, said his team was “disappointed with the verdict, but we respect it." He planned to file new legal motions for Bryan after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley did not immediately schedule a sentencing date, saying that he wanted to give both sides time to prepare.

Though prosecutors did not argue that racism motivated the killing, federal authorities have charged them with hate crimes, alleging that they chased and killed Arbery because he was Black. That case is scheduled to go to trial in February.

The disproportionately white jury received the case around midday Tuesday.

Soon after returning to court Wednesday morning, the jury sent a note to the judge asking to view two versions of the shooting video — the original and one that investigators enhanced to reduce shadows — three times apiece.

Jurors returned to the courtroom to see the videos and listen again the 911 call one of the defendants made from the bed of a pickup truck about 30 seconds before the shooting.

On the 911 call the jury reviewed, Greg McMichael tells an operator: “I’m out here in Satilla Shores. There's a Black male running down the street.”

He then starts shouting, apparently as Arbery is running toward the McMichael's idling truck with Bryan's truck coming up behind him: “Stop right there! Damn it, stop! Travis!” Gunshots can be heard a few second later.

The graphic video death leaked online two months later, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case, quickly arresting the three men. Each of them is charged with murder and other crimes.

Defense attorneys contend the McMichaels were attempting a legal citizen’s arrest when they set off after Arbery, seeking to detain and question him as a suspected burglar after he was seen running from a nearby home under construction.

Travis McMichael testified that he shot Arbery in self-defense, saying the running man turned and attacked with his fists while running past the idling truck where Travis McMichael stood with his shotgun.

Prosecutors said there was no evidence Arbery had committed crimes in the defendants’ neighborhood. He had enrolled at a technical college and was preparing to study to become an electrician like his uncles.

From what i have read from non- LSM sites and papers - a horrendous crime ws committed.

Does not change that the 'protestors" - who want 'justice' - cannot articulate what American Rule of Law and "Justice ' are.

The Trial by Jury system worked in teh RittenHouse case - and worked in this Case - IMHO


the result won't change teh DPST bloodlust for absolute Power and control of every facet of citizens lives and the justice system - which will be politicized to deliver verdicts based on Race and ideology - nothing else.

If teh DPSTs gain teh Power they slaver adn drool for.

When this happened, I bet there were posters defending the McMichaels and agreeing it was self defense. Might have to look back and see who the culprits are.

These convictions probably ruined Thanksgiving for the many old racist clowns in this forum. They're probably still trying to figure out what those three idiot racist hillbillies did wrong.

You are In bed with the NBA star rant about 'white MF's" - Quote thread on Kwame brown-






Racial activists, advocates, lawyers, and journalists are benefiting from telling people of color how "bad" their lives are, Brown said.
"A bunch of people are getting paid to push this racist s***. That's all it is," he continued. "These motherf*****s ain't got no lane they're in — they really don't got nothing to say. The only thing they get paid off of is talking about how racist it is. Them motherf*****s got good cars, good houses, good everything telling you how bad it is. Motherf*****, it don't look bad. You're driving a Benz, you're g****** flying all over the world, you have speaking engagements, you motherf*****s got black ties and security and s***. How you motherf*****s so bad off?"
He even called out prominent figures known for promoting racial narratives by name.
"I saw g****** Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson — I saw g****** Roland Martin," he said. "Them motherf*****s got black ties, security. Them motherf*****s got a black SUV. Them motherf*****s riding in style."
They're "over there living good and pimpin'," he noted.
"So how in the f*** is it so bad?" Brown asked. "Tell me how to get it like you got it. Tell me how to get some of them black Escalade securities that you son-of-a-b*****s pulling up in while I'm pulling up with my brother."

none so blind as will not see their hypocrisy.
