Black jurors in the Ahmaud Arbery case could be struck if they answered—truthfully—that they believed the Confederate flag was a racist symbol. Unbelievable the question was even allowed to be asked. Unbelievable that this was considered a “race-neutral” reason to strike. https://t.co/KngW08Rzon

The defense is hoping for jury nullification. Is it any wonder why people of color don't trust the system of justice in this country?bearister said:

Well, you all know what I said President Lincoln should have let General Sherman do.
*I think we all know what the outcome of the trials are going to be for these Missing Link defendants in this case and the Kenosha case.

Travis McMichael decided to testify in his own defense today.
Wow.
I'm listening.
Sounds like a total case of racial profiling (no duh!)
He called the police and said, "I think I saw him put something in his pocket, so be aware."
Oh, really! You thought he had a gun, so you chased him down and shot him? Mmm Hmmm.
The first part of his testimony was all about his prior experience as a police type kind of guy who carried guns regularly and had some training in the (coast guard I think it was). This is designed to give him some kind of authority, as if his judgment is unimpeachable.
Is there 1 black person on the jury?
Come on, man. Don't give in!
These men were guilty as hell!
They'd say "It's BEEN open season on black people for 400 years!"dajo9 said:
I haven't seen much of the deliberations but watched a bit of the defendant on the stand today.
Holy Cow! If this isn't a clear cut case of murder I don't know what is!
If the jury let's these guys walk then it is open season on black people in this country.
I mean, come on, is there any doubt that if this was a white jogger that they wouldn't have gone after him?dajo9 said:
The defense seems to be:
"We chased this guy down with our guns (and our truck because of our biased racial suspicions) and he seemed upset so clearly we had good reason to think he was a criminal"

Yeah, we can't even keep cops in line, what in the world would make people think we can allow civilians to exercise police powers?going4roses said:

Our country is full of deep hatred. I will be shocked if these Deliverance caliber hillbillies don't get acquitted or hung juried in Georgia. If they get convicted, maybe things are coming around.
