I don't feel it serves a purpose to say, he committed the crime because the victim was black, any more than he committed the crime because it was thursday.

Oh but that makes all the difference.

They didn't care what day it was, they only cared that a BLACK man was in their neighborhood.

They felt sooo entitled, they made no bones about.

That goes for the guy that used his phone to video it.
He, actually believed showing the execution would clear them!

I don't expect I'll change your mind.
I think you have difficulty with this issue because you don't live here & don't see it day in & day out.

We hardly take these cases to trial, even when they are put on the calendar they mostly come to a plea deal.
Arbery's mother refused to let the DOJ plea this one out.
Bravo to her!


Do something positive.

I know. But there's a motive of hatred of some kind for every murder (pain exception). What you do by making a special category is to suggest non-conforming murders somehow lack the same quality.

For me, the murderous action and the murderous state of mind is what counts. I don't feel it serves a purpose to say, he committed the crime because the victim was black, any more than he committed the crime because it was thursday. Convicting a person of murder has the hatred baked in. Without the hatred and the intent, it is manslaughter.

It's a tautology.
