Black Jogger Gunned Down In The Street

[TSwizzle]

Life without parole seems harsh and politically motivated to satisfy the mob. Once the msm lose interest this will be revised and changed to something more appropriate.

More appropriate? Change the pigmentation of the skin and you’d be hollering for the death penalty.

Nope.

 

[laughing dog]

This seems appropriate. The men are a danger to society.

So is Ruben Roman.

Concerned citizens bailed him out of jail the next day.
Tom

Your "whataboutism" would at least have the semblance of relevance if you referred to Mr. Roman's sentence.

Until then..

What's unduly harsh about it?

This was basically a modern lynching.

 

[Gospel]

I find it hard to relate to TSwizzle's opinion not because I'm not sympathetic but because I've felt that way so many times about harsh sentences for black people to the point it has become trite.

 

[TSwizzle]

Even the Manson family got parole hearings.

 

[laughing dog]

I happen to think that a life sentence without the possibility of parole is extremely harsh as well. I think everyone in prison should have a chance to either redeem themselves or show that they are fit to re-enter society after an appropriate penance.

Depending on the crime no. It's already hard enough for former drug dealers, thieves, and so on to turn their lives around when they get out. Because society won't let them forget many of them go back to the life of crime as a result. Do we really want murders to go back to their life of crime? The jailing system needs to change. I don't understand why there are jobs available for immigrants when we can just move people around in the prison system to where labor is needed under the vessel of parole. This way when they get out of Jail there are out of the old environment and into a new one with a job and fresh start. There is a lot of cheap labor just waiting to get tapped. Not the current system of slave labor that serves no purpose in helping inmates ease back into society.

Edit: OMG I derailed.

Georgia deputy suspended over Facebook comment about Ahmaud Arbery

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — A Georgia sheriff’s deputy was suspended and faces being fired over comments posted on social media after a judge sentenced three white men to life imprisonment in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, news outlets reported.

Reacting to a story on WGXA-TV’s Facebook page after the men were sentenced on their murder convictions in the shooting of Arbery, a Black man who was jogging through a neighborhood, someone wrote: “That criminal arbery still got the death penalty though.”

What a rotten report.

It quoted some unidentified "someone" commenting. But nothing about what the deputy posted.
Yuck.

That quote was the deputy. They are saying that the comment was by an unidentified person and that following that there were consequences to the deputy and so the implication is that he is likely the one who wrote it. He had probably scrubbed the evidence since the story initially came out with users on social media taking screenshots, which might not rise to the level of evidence the news wants to use to make an established claim of fact it was definitely him. A different news source covers it differently, but essentially, it's his quote.

This combined with elements of the Nordic model would transform American justice and the job market.

Two of the men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery used racist slurs in messages, a witness testifies at their federal hate crime trial | CNN

Texts and social media messages from two of the White men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery included racist insults about African Americans, an FBI intelligence analyst testified Wednesday in their federal hate crime trial in Georgia.

www.cnn.com

The federal trial is underway. I was kind of skeptical of why they would bother with this and how it would be hard to prove anyway, but they've been going over a bunch of their text and social media messages and, wow, it makes me see why they might. Here's a tweet thread of the testimony.



I've copied and pasted some of it below.

Spoiler: A torrent of racist verbiage

Jury sees first of dozens of text messages/convos between Travis McMichael and others. March 2019, he asks H.B. Where did y'all end up last night? They exchange details; HB writes something that sounds like "****s everywhere."

Travis McMichael wrote in reply, "Damn. They ruin everything. That's why I love what I do. Not a ****** in sight." HB said, "Ha ha ha. What do you do?" TM said, "Government contractor driving boats for Navy & Marines. Love it. Zero ******s work with me."

Jan 21, 2019 Travis McMichael talked w/someone about meeting at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. M.J. wrote they were parked and the`re were "hood rats" there... Travis wrote, "Need to change the name from Cracker Barrel to ****** Bucket"

In a convo with J.M. and Travis McM, August 2019: JM wrote I thought the ******s in Saint Mary's were bad but nothing compared to this **** up here. Travis: They're bad. JM: Went in damn McDonald's on Glynn Ave. TM: Part of ******ville my friend

Prosecutor asks Vaughan about Travis McMichael sending a video called "Alabama N-word" by Johnny Rebel, and they play it for the jury. "I'm an Alabama ****** and want to be free, to hell with the NAACP"

A convo Travis McM had with TJ or PJ (not sure) about getting a CDL complaining about "******s" in the process; a text laughing about "Halloween winner" of a man in blackface with a red splotch on a hoodie--a crude reference to Trayvon Martin's killing

Travis McMichael told someone, "The southern white male is the most discriminated human in the United States."

Texts b/t Travis McMichael and C.M. in Feb 2019 in which they laugh as CM realizes "zoodles" Travis is eating are zucchini noodles. CM says, "White people." Travis: "I'd rather say zoodle every day the rest of my life than ever be a ******." CM: Good point

Travis McMichael texted his friend a photo of someone in a tee that said "At least I'm not a ******."

They moved to Greg McMichael's FB account where he posted a meme: White Irish slaves are treated worse than any other race in the US When is the last time you heard the Irish bitching the world owes them? You won't, they're not looking for free shit

FBI's Vaughan testifies Roddie Bryan's accounts had evidence of racial animus and racial slurs: the n-word and the word "bootlip." She had to look it up as she'd never heard it. It's a derogatory phrase, refers to stereotypical look of Black person's face.

Roddie Bryan on WhatsApp with PT in 2019 on MLK Day. PT: Hope you took today off to resume your grand marshal position, haha. Vaughan testifies it was an inside joke between the pair--he would never do that b/c he doesn't care for Black people or MLK

Roddie Bryan replied, "I'm working so all the ******s can take off. Happy milk day." Another convo on MLK Day 2020: I know you're busy with grand marshal duties. Bryan: I bet y'all are truly having a monkey parade over there.

PT made some reference to not being different from Gloucester Street which Vaughan testifies was part of the MLK Day parade route in Brunswick (FYI, Vaughan detailed how WhatsApp is often used for international convos since it's free)

Roddie Bryan texted J.C. on MLK Day 2020, Happy bootlip day. JC: Good to be working, happy coon day. Bryan: I worked like a ****** today

FBI's Vaughan says MLK Day is not the only day Roddie Bryan used racial slurs. In June 2019 he told someone about a breakup he'd had & the woman was staying w/ a white female relative who "doesn't have the one ****** baby daddy, but probably has another"

In Feb 19 2020 Roddie Bryan got forwarded a message his daughter had written; she was dating a new guy who loves her & cares about her education. He's Black and his parents are white but it's just a color, doesn't define him or make me love him less...

Roddie Bryan tried to call PT, who sent the message. Texted back, are you coming to meet your future son-in-law? PT said, I chartered a plane so you can fly down with them. Bryan said, He'd fit right in with the monkeys. PT: LOL

PT said She must be done with me, this is the only thing I said I could never accept. Roddie Bryan texted someone else that day, "She has her a ****** now. I've been calling it for a while. Not surprised."

Feb 24 2020--four days after shooting, Roddie Bryan sent on WhatsApp to PT that he'd had an eventful day recently...and daughter doesn't give an f what she thinks. PT describes daughter "shunning" family

When Roddie Bryan's daughter & boyfriend made relationship public on Facebook in April 2020 PT shared a screenshot to RB on WhatsApp, said Thought you wanted to start your day with a good puke. Bryan said If she don't give a fk about herself why should we

Vaughan details a FB comment on something by Travis McMichael: "Goddamn savages." Can't see what the post is. It's out of context so the FBI got a search warrant to see the posts on which he commented.

Turns out the Travis McMichael "goddamn savages" comment was made on a post of grocery store surveillance video of a Black person who was a white woman's purse-snatcher.

Travis McMichael convo 2 months before shooting has lots of "******" references describing a fight outside a business & a couple of robberies one night. "Full moon brings out the worst of those savages I guess. I hate those bastards. They ruin everything"

Travis McMichael also said some uncle's daughter was "knocked up by ****** boyfriend." Roddie Bryan also associated Black people with criminality, according to things on his phone, testifies FBI's Vaughan.

Roddie Bryan and LR discussing high cost of health insurance: Bryan: If you were Black you wouldn't pay for it. LR: I'll have it run on ancestry dot com. I must be part Black, my credit's f'ing terrible. Didn't get the big dick, just the bad credit.

Roddie Bryan, noting LR's wife is 44: Other problems can start at that age. Try to get her on disability like the ******.

Screenshot of a bike theft; friend wrote bike was recovered after we had to evacuate and someone broke into garage! Roddie Bryan wrote, in October 2016, What fine upstanding citizen was it? My money's on bootlips.

On a post about Black teens & a white teen being beaten by a mob, Vaughan shows Travis McMichael wrote, You know my thoughts on this. Mr. Taurus 38 says five would be taking a dirt nap. Guilty by association, shoot all of them. Fk those goddam monkeys

Travis McMichael comments: We used to walk around committing hate crimes all day LOL. In 2019: Black dude tried to ram gate...I almost shot him. Then, "Pookie ain't did nothing. Latisha on ActionNewsJax." Vaughan says Latisha was a Black reporter there

The litany of Travis McMichael posts/texts continues: "Fucking ******." About a prank video with a Black person in it: "I'd kill that fucking ******." Video of Black women hit by a car: "Protesters blocking you? Mash on it and drive straight."

Facebook comment by Travis McMichael: "Subhuman savages." Referred to white mother & daughter assaulted by a pair of Black customers who complained their food was cold.

On some video that depicted graphic violence, Travis McMichael had written "They'd be scraping brain matter off the pavement if anyone attacked my wife and child like that. ... I would beat those monkeys to death."

Prosecutor told Thomas to spell what he's not comfy saying. It was the video of guy with firecrackers in nose, apparently--Travis McMichael commented "It would've been cooler if it blew that ******'s head off" and Thomas spells out the n-word

Another video played; thanks to pool reports, now I know this one shows a Black man putting barbecue sauce on a white man’s head as a prank. Travis McMichael responded, “I’d kill that fucking ******."

What I find interesting are the times he talks about committing violence. That's linked to all these racial slurs and racial animus. Then, I recall a witness heard TM say f-ing n-word over Arbery's body.

The federal trial is underway. I was kind of skeptical of why they would bother with this and how it would be hard to prove anyway, but they've been going over a bunch of their text and social media messages and, wow, it makes me see why they might.

I can well imagine why they're literally making a federal case out of it.

Lots of people, including myself, think that life without parole is a bit much. I could easily see some governor commuting their sentences to "time served", a few years down the road. When the media heat is off, and somebody needs to score some points with "the base", quietly setting them loose with "a stern talking to" is all too possible. Life without parole seems excessive, but four years is way too little. Given the state of things in the current political climate, that's all too possible.

Another video played; thanks to pool reports, now I know this one shows a Black man putting barbecue sauce on a white man’s head as a prank. Travis McMichael responded, “I’d kill that fucking ******."

When it rains it pours on these racist sociopaths.

Two of the men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery used racist slurs in messages, a witness testifies at their federal hate crime trial | CNN

Texts and social media messages from two of the White men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery included racist insults about African Americans, an FBI intelligence analyst testified Wednesday in their federal hate crime trial in Georgia.

The federal trial is underway. I was kind of skeptical of why they would bother with this and how it would be hard to prove anyway, but they've been going over a bunch of their text and social media messages and, wow, it makes me see why they might. Here's a tweet thread of the testimony.



I've copied and pasted some of it below.

Spoiler: A torrent of racist verbiage

Jury sees first of dozens of text messages/convos between Travis McMichael and others. March 2019, he asks H.B. Where did y'all end up last night? They exchange details; HB writes something that sounds like "****s everywhere."

Travis McMichael wrote in reply, "Damn. They ruin everything. That's why I love what I do. Not a ****** in sight." HB said, "Ha ha ha. What do you do?" TM said, "Government contractor driving boats for Navy & Marines. Love it. Zero ******s work with me."

Jan 21, 2019 Travis McMichael talked w/someone about meeting at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. M.J. wrote they were parked and the`re were "hood rats" there... Travis wrote, "Need to change the name from Cracker Barrel to ****** Bucket"

In a convo with J.M. and Travis McM, August 2019: JM wrote I thought the ******s in Saint Mary's were bad but nothing compared to this **** up here. Travis: They're bad. JM: Went in damn McDonald's on Glynn Ave. TM: Part of ******ville my friend

Prosecutor asks Vaughan about Travis McMichael sending a video called "Alabama N-word" by Johnny Rebel, and they play it for the jury. "I'm an Alabama ****** and want to be free, to hell with the NAACP"

A convo Travis McM had with TJ or PJ (not sure) about getting a CDL complaining about "******s" in the process; a text laughing about "Halloween winner" of a man in blackface with a red splotch on a hoodie--a crude reference to Trayvon Martin's killing

Travis McMichael told someone, "The southern white male is the most discriminated human in the United States."

Texts b/t Travis McMichael and C.M. in Feb 2019 in which they laugh as CM realizes "zoodles" Travis is eating are zucchini noodles. CM says, "White people." Travis: "I'd rather say zoodle every day the rest of my life than ever be a ******." CM: Good point

Travis McMichael texted his friend a photo of someone in a tee that said "At least I'm not a ******."

They moved to Greg McMichael's FB account where he posted a meme: White Irish slaves are treated worse than any other race in the US When is the last time you heard the Irish bitching the world owes them? You won't, they're not looking for free shit

FBI's Vaughan testifies Roddie Bryan's accounts had evidence of racial animus and racial slurs: the n-word and the word "bootlip." She had to look it up as she'd never heard it. It's a derogatory phrase, refers to stereotypical look of Black person's face.

Roddie Bryan on WhatsApp with PT in 2019 on MLK Day. PT: Hope you took today off to resume your grand marshal position, haha. Vaughan testifies it was an inside joke between the pair--he would never do that b/c he doesn't care for Black people or MLK

Roddie Bryan replied, "I'm working so all the ******s can take off. Happy milk day." Another convo on MLK Day 2020: I know you're busy with grand marshal duties. Bryan: I bet y'all are truly having a monkey parade over there.

PT made some reference to not being different from Gloucester Street which Vaughan testifies was part of the MLK Day parade route in Brunswick (FYI, Vaughan detailed how WhatsApp is often used for international convos since it's free)

Roddie Bryan texted J.C. on MLK Day 2020, Happy bootlip day. JC: Good to be working, happy coon day. Bryan: I worked like a ****** today

FBI's Vaughan says MLK Day is not the only day Roddie Bryan used racial slurs. In June 2019 he told someone about a breakup he'd had & the woman was staying w/ a white female relative who "doesn't have the one ****** baby daddy, but probably has another"

In Feb 19 2020 Roddie Bryan got forwarded a message his daughter had written; she was dating a new guy who loves her & cares about her education. He's Black and his parents are white but it's just a color, doesn't define him or make me love him less...

Roddie Bryan tried to call PT, who sent the message. Texted back, are you coming to meet your future son-in-law? PT said, I chartered a plane so you can fly down with them. Bryan said, He'd fit right in with the monkeys. PT: LOL

PT said She must be done with me, this is the only thing I said I could never accept. Roddie Bryan texted someone else that day, "She has her a ****** now. I've been calling it for a while. Not surprised."

Feb 24 2020--four days after shooting, Roddie Bryan sent on WhatsApp to PT that he'd had an eventful day recently...and daughter doesn't give an f what she thinks. PT describes daughter "shunning" family

When Roddie Bryan's daughter & boyfriend made relationship public on Facebook in April 2020 PT shared a screenshot to RB on WhatsApp, said Thought you wanted to start your day with a good puke. Bryan said If she don't give a fk about herself why should we

Vaughan details a FB comment on something by Travis McMichael: "Goddamn savages." Can't see what the post is. It's out of context so the FBI got a search warrant to see the posts on which he commented.

Turns out the Travis McMichael "goddamn savages" comment was made on a post of grocery store surveillance video of a Black person who was a white woman's purse-snatcher.

Travis McMichael convo 2 months before shooting has lots of "******" references describing a fight outside a business & a couple of robberies one night. "Full moon brings out the worst of those savages I guess. I hate those bastards. They ruin everything"

Travis McMichael also said some uncle's daughter was "knocked up by ****** boyfriend." Roddie Bryan also associated Black people with criminality, according to things on his phone, testifies FBI's Vaughan.

Roddie Bryan and LR discussing high cost of health insurance: Bryan: If you were Black you wouldn't pay for it. LR: I'll have it run on ancestry dot com. I must be part Black, my credit's f'ing terrible. Didn't get the big dick, just the bad credit.

Roddie Bryan, noting LR's wife is 44: Other problems can start at that age. Try to get her on disability like the ******.

Screenshot of a bike theft; friend wrote bike was recovered after we had to evacuate and someone broke into garage! Roddie Bryan wrote, in October 2016, What fine upstanding citizen was it? My money's on bootlips.

On a post about Black teens & a white teen being beaten by a mob, Vaughan shows Travis McMichael wrote, You know my thoughts on this. Mr. Taurus 38 says five would be taking a dirt nap. Guilty by association, shoot all of them. Fk those goddam monkeys

Travis McMichael comments: We used to walk around committing hate crimes all day LOL. In 2019: Black dude tried to ram gate...I almost shot him. Then, "Pookie ain't did nothing. Latisha on ActionNewsJax." Vaughan says Latisha was a Black reporter there

The litany of Travis McMichael posts/texts continues: "Fucking ******." About a prank video with a Black person in it: "I'd kill that fucking ******." Video of Black women hit by a car: "Protesters blocking you? Mash on it and drive straight."

Facebook comment by Travis McMichael: "Subhuman savages." Referred to white mother & daughter assaulted by a pair of Black customers who complained their food was cold.

On some video that depicted graphic violence, Travis McMichael had written "They'd be scraping brain matter off the pavement if anyone attacked my wife and child like that. ... I would beat those monkeys to death."

Prosecutor told Thomas to spell what he's not comfy saying. It was the video of guy with firecrackers in nose, apparently--Travis McMichael commented "It would've been cooler if it blew that ******'s head off" and Thomas spells out the n-word

Another video played; thanks to pool reports, now I know this one shows a Black man putting barbecue sauce on a white man’s head as a prank. Travis McMichael responded, “I’d kill that fucking ******."

When it rains it pours on these racist sociopaths.

Clearly, nothing to do with racism, obviously it was because of the robberies...

/S

 

[Tigers!]

When I read such racist filth I feel dirty. I cannot comprend feeling or saying such things about another human.

Truly the human heart and mind are a cloaca maxima.
