Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan have been found guilty of all counts in the federal trial of the three men charged with violating Ahamud Arbery's civil rights.
All three men were convicted of interference of rights, which is a federal hate crime, and attempted kidnapping. The McMichaels were also found guilty of an additional firearms charge for using and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.
Good. Should send a powerful message to racists everywhereNo doubt long sentences for all

Shows how emboldened these supremacists thought they could be.Imagine being G McMichaels and thinking how genius it was to have that video released.
If it was not for the video, this case would have been in the dustbinImagine being G McMichaels and thinking how genius it was to have that video released.
Like many crimes, it goes to intent. Just like the difference between the levels of murder.I'm hugely conflicted on this. They were already, rightfully and justly convicted for their actions. Hate crime legislation seeks to criminalize thoughts, which I don't believe in. I honestly have no idea how hate crime legislation has survived constitutional scrutiny.
The murder and the following lack of investigation lays that out clearlyShows how emboldened these supremacists thought they could be.
How So? To hide their feelings, or do you think it will change their mindset?Good. Should send a powerful message to racists everywhere
If it was not for the video, this case would have been in the dustbin
And only because Arbery was Black was it slow walked
I can't imagine the level of regret these guy's are all feeling for all of their acts of stupidity during this event.Imagine being G McMichaels and thinking how genius it was to have that video released.
I think about that every time I read an Aubrey thread. Bizarre.Imagine being G McMichaels and thinking how genius it was to have that video released.
I don't disagree with that. But the intent was prosecuted already, in the murder charge. A federal "hate crime" prosecution is not the same. It is specifically targeting and punishing thoughts. The action has already been prosecuted. IMO it is just not compatible with the constitution.Like many crimes, it goes to intent. Just like the difference between the levels of murder.
Regret they got caught.I can't imagine the level of regret these guy's are all feeling for all of their acts of stupidity during this event.
His blocking closed off an escape route, he is just as guilty as the others.The life sentence for the guy who just blocked in the kid seems a bit harsh to me. Perhaps there is more to this than what I am seeing. In fairness, I haven't delved too deeply into this case. Also, why was the kid snooping around in that house?
That mindset is rampant with racistsI'm still amazed by the fact that the idiot thought everyone would look at that video and think ahhh it's all good, you guys saved the day!
It doesn't matter. "House snooping" doesn't give the killers the right to assume the roles of arresting officer, DA, judge, jury and executioner.The life sentence for the guy who just blocked in the kid seems a bit harsh to me.

If you dont believe in hate crimes then you certainallyl feel that if someone is convicted of shooting and killing a cop then there should be NO extra charges, right?I'm hugely conflicted on this. They were already, rightfully and justly convicted for their actions. Hate crime legislation seeks to criminalize thoughts, which I don't believe in. I honestly have no idea how hate crime legislation has survived constitutional scrutiny.
That’s excellent. Now all those guys that were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole will never get out of prison…which wasn’t going to happen anyway.No doubt long sentences for all
1 day for deliberations

People do that all the time. We built a cabin in the mountains and all the neighbors walked through it during construction. Kids played on the site. Hell my wife and I have done that with houses for sale in our old neighborhood, should we be dead for it now?The life sentence for the guy who just blocked in the kid seems a bit harsh to me.
