Ahmaud Arbery; racist killing and attempted cover up.

I have never used that word and never will. He used it because it was part of his thinking.

That’s the kind of word that, when said in a specific context (like after shooting someone who is black), reflects an ingrained attitude toward black people. It’s definitely not a natural response for someone who isn’t deeply racist.

It boggles my mind and depresses me that we have to point this out to a Christian.

It's not unusual for people to say things in the heat of the moment that they wouldn't say under other circumstances. But you know the prosecution is going to run with it.

"A drunk mouth speaks a sober mind."

[Cow Poke]

There is absolutely ZERO evidence of any other crime.

I never said there was, Shuny. Try really hard to focus.

(are you smokin' that corn silk again?)

Get you in the right circumstances, and I bet even you would be surprised by the things coming out of your own mouth.

Anyway, it's possible that racism was a factor in this, but an excited utterance isn't necessarily proof of anything, although you can be sure the prosecution will make it a big deal.

"A drunk mouth speaks a sober mind."

I've heard that one. It's a catchy saying, but I don't believe it's necessarily true.

I repeat, I have never used that word and never will. It is not and never has been part of my thinking. That is just what it is.

It doesn't have to be part of your thinking for something to come unbidden out of your mouth in a high stress situation. Do you not understand how high stress can short circuit rational thought?

They had already run him into a ditch several times and struck him with their truck. MM, just stop. You just cant be stupid enough to believe there is a person alive that would not be afraid for their lives in the circumstances Abery was in. For you to continue this farce just makes you look more and more and more like either an absolute idiot or a member of the KKK.

Could be both.

I've probably spent more of my time around drunks than you have, then.

I've heard that one. It's a catchy saying, but I don't believe it's necessarily true.

Especially when dealing with "mean drunks" who are prone to say things for no other reason than to be nasty and hurtful.

There is absolutely ZERO evidence of any other crime. Arguing from ignorance gets you nowhere. The landowners were totally unconcerned.

Then why did he contact the police about issues with trespassers and theft?

Then why did he install a security camera?

Is that what "totally unconcerned" is like in your mind?

MM .... stop before you dig the hole you've dug for yourself any deeper ... K?

[shunyadragon]

Then why did he contact the police about issues with trespassers and theft?

The land owner did not contact nor complain to the police concerning a complaint of trespassing nor a complaint of any other crime.

Then why did he install a security camera?

The security camera is simply standard equipment on homes to prevent crime. As cited no crime committed here. The land owner gave the police copies of the videos simply as a part of the investigation of the murder of Ahmaud Aubrey

Dig, dig, dig, and ah . . . dig dig.

[rogue06]

The land owner did not contact nor complain to the police concerning a complaint of trespassing nor a complaint of any other crime.

So, in your view, the police just took it on themselves to send the property owner a text recommending that he contact McMichael if there were any problems with trespassers.

The security camera is simply standard equipment on homes to prevent crime.

Indeed. And that blows a ocean liner sized hole through your claim that he was "totally unconcerned" about trespassers and theft.

As cited no crime committed here.

Only because you are determined to ignore the crime of trespassing.
