Prosecution laid out a clear case for a guilty verdictTravis McMichael, 36, his father and former police officer Gregory McMichael, 66, and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan, 52, have been found guilty on all federal counts. All three defendants are charged with depriving Arbery of his civil rights, a "hate-crimes" offense alleging racially motivated violence. They also face attempted kidnapping charges in the deadly 2020 encounter, which unfolded in the coastal Georgia subdivision of Satilla Shores near Brunswick, about 270 miles southeast of Atlanta. The McMichaels additionally were charged with a federal firearms felony, while Bryan faced no such charge. The hate-crimes charge, the most serious contained in the indictment returned against the defendants, carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. Attempted kidnapping is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The three men have already received life terms in state court after being found guilty of murder and other crimes in the fatal shooting of Arbery. The verdicts only requirred 3 hours of deliberation by the jury.

Yeah, good question, why did three white guys decided to run down a black guy "seen in a house," then kill him? They didn't see him steal anything, so the crime in your narrative is being inside an unlocked house under construction, looking around for a bit, then leaving. Of course they didn't actually see him do that either, and he obviously didn't have a power saw or construction materials in his jogging shorts, but even if we assume those facts that are in fact invented, which is they saw him inside the house, why did they load up with weapons then use two cars to attempt a citizens arrest of the guy, for being "seen in a house"?Did they chase him because he was black?
Or because he was seen in a house in the neighborhood? If it was a black guy just jogging down the street would they have bothered him?
Important questions Rogue. I'm not convinced that the guys skin color was what "motivated" the violence. But OK. Not really my circus. Obviously some American gun owners overstepped their bounds again, that much is well established fact.

We'll never know for certain. But, we can speculate that since they didn't chase any other people who went onto the site and only chased the one black guy... seems pretty racist.Did they chase him because he was black?

Their own recorded/written statements left no doubts that they are racists.
Deal with it.

And of course the first jury convicted them of murder and now they're convicted by a jury for their motivations, which was racism.
Yeah, and you're not engaging in good faith, either.OK. I dont really buy that though.
True, but the DoJ should be consistent. Whether they were convicted should have no bearing on federal charges. Either charge them or don't, but don't operate based on state convictions.A bit of overkill since they were already found guilty of murder and sentenced to life without parole, but a fitting one nonetheless since theyre both jerks.
Thanks for posting that very good news, was just watching that on TV, those racist scumbags deserve everything they get for taking an innocent life.

On another thread you're looking for reasons to excuse these guys referring to blacks as 'n****rs' in casual conversation
The parade has started. The mainstream media will now be interviewing dozens of Black people pushing their narrative that all white people are racists. If you challenge them you will be labeled the biggest racist of all.
Yes.Did they chase him because he was black?
It's how racists talk, and it's stupid and racist. You want to ignore this, but we all know it's true.No need to "excuse" it.
Its how ignorant people talk. Its not illegal. Merely stupid.
This is so dumb.The parade has started. The mainstream media will now be interviewing dozens of Black people pushing their narrative that all white people are racists. If you challenge them you will be labeled the biggest racist of all.
I agree. People who claim that white people are all racists just because they are white...are indeed dumb. But the mainstream media gives them air time because that is the politically correct woke thing to do.This is so dumb.

So, you are judging me by my last name? Let me guess, you think everybody with the last name Black is white, anybody with the last name White is black, anybody with the last name Gay is homosexual. It might be time to consider improving those debate skills.You don’t have a relative named, David, by chance, do you?

I wish the mainstream media would take your advice but they won't. The next time a white cop shoots a Black man, they will immediately paint the white cop as a racist before they gather any facts.Be better.
