BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — A state investigator testified Thursday that a white man was heard saying a racist slur as he stood over Ahmaud Arbery’s body, moments after fatally shooting the black man with a pump-action shotgun.

WATER IS WET.
Surprise would have been if he had not done it. Ask any red neck and he will tell you that the clearest example of discrimination against white people is that they are not allowed to use the N word even though rappers use it freely and abundantly.
I do have to credit rednecks for one thing, they’re resourceful enough to locate a men’s clothing store that sells belts for pants.
Remember: both McMichaels had done work with (and had many established relationships within) their local police and attorney general’s office. They weren’t just redneck-y locals.
O/T but you know it was going to happen
Just like cake work
Excuse me… rednecks they are, and local cops are too.
Whatever, they apparently have the use of both hands, as opposed to the self-imposed disability of performing whatever task needs done with one arm, while the other is utilized to keep their pants from literally falling to the ground.
My point was that they were entwined with the local power structure.
I cannot fathom the logic that was used here. An unarmed black man gets attacked by a group of armed white guys, and the reason he was shot was because the white guys were threatened because the attacked man “squared up?” Self defense only works one way?
Had Arbery been armed, the 2A crowd would not have said, hey, Arbery was just defending himself. It would have been used as “proof” he was a no-good that deserved to be shot.
I understand an attorney grabs any straw they can to defend their client, but it is sickening how many people buy into the logic that Arbery was shot because he wasn’t allowed to defend himself.
Of course the Duck Dynasty rejects did.
I simply can’t fathom why so many people live in the same state as these subhuman counterarguments to evolution.
Exactly. Ahmaud was making a citizens arrest of three hoodlums for brandishing guns and erratic driving.
And everyone who listened to the tape before it finally got leaked didn’t say a word about it.
“It was still very difficult to hear in the context of a prolonged chase, that after he murdered Ahmaud Arbery and stood over his body, he used that racial epithet,” Merritt said. The lawyer said Thursday’s testimony revealed that “racism was at the heart” of Arbery’s slaying.
I wonder of Chief Justice Roberts thinks lynching is a thing of the past. Somehow I doubt that Justice Thomas would describe this incident as a lynching, low or high tech.
Dial testified that Greg McMichael told police that “he didn’t know if Mr. Arbery had stolen anything or not, but he had a gut feeling” that Arbery had committed prior break-ins in the neighborhood.
When I read that line I got a cold chill imagining how many people might be dead or incarcerated because of this man’s “gut feelings”.
OT
Trump said that hopefully George Floyd is looking down from heaven and saying today is a great day for the country. “It’s a great day for him and it’s a great day for everybody,” he says.

Racism is only going to be eliminated by radical gene modification.
It’s too deeply inbred.
I’m grateful that he’s a former cop. He’s less lethal that way.
Oh, it was “staged” alright, to try to get attention off of Trump’s complete failure to address a pandemic.
Upgrade the murder charge to 1st degree!
