Man who shot Ahmaud Arbery gets life sentence for hate crime
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The white man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery after chasing the 25-year-old Black man in a Georgia neighborhood was sentenced Monday to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime.
Travis McMichael was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood in the port city of Brunswick. His punishment is largely symbolic, as McMichael was sentenced earlier this year to life without parole in a Georgia state court for Arbery’s murder.
Wood said McMichael had received a fair trial.“And it’s not lost on the court that it was the kind of trial that Ahmaud Arbery did not receive before he was shot and killed,” the judge said. Before the sentencing, she heard from members of Arbery’s family. His mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, said she feels every shot that was fired at her son everyday.
“It’s so unfair, so unfair, so unfair that he was killed while he was not even committing a crime,” she said.

GOOD!
Sometimes, justice is served.
Rot in prison, McMichael.

Boo hoo.Hope his lawyer can get him protection in prison.
Otherwise, the life sentence amounts to a death sentence, which most liberals abhor.

Here is the irony - it was actually Roddy Bryan's attorney who released the video of the killing hoping it would quell the rumors in town. Three white DAs reviewed the case and sat on it before the video was released.justice definitely served
and just think, what if the video was never leaked then these idots would have probably got away with it
lol oh im aware! and it is sweet delicious ironyHere is the irony - it was actually Roddy Bryan's attorney who released the video of the killing hoping it would quell the rumors in town. Three white DAs sat on the case before the video was released.
Timeline of the Ahmaud Arbery case
Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, was running through a mostly white neighborhood on Feb. 23, 2020, when he was chased by three white men in two trucks and shot to death. The killing took place about two miles (3.2 km) from his mother's house near Brunswick, Georgia.www.reuters.com
I'm just curious as to the proof that it was a "hate crime". The left claims all whites are racist, is that the evidence? I know all white shots black is a hate crime but none of the black shoots white is a hate crime. Why is there that difference.Someone is bound to say: Why was the black man running through a white neighborhood, why didn't he stop when ordered to, and that this sentence is just Socialists blaming everything on the white man.
Wait for it.

That's awesome!!! Now he gets a life sentence added to his life sentence. He'll be double dead before he gets out of jail. We can't have racists ever be too dead to protect us from their hatred.Father, son get life for hate crime in Ahmaud Arbery’s death

Maybe the next ginned-up Bubba will think twice before waving his gun around unarmed people of a different race.That's awesome!!! Now he gets a life sentence added to his life sentence. He'll be double dead before he gets out of jail. We can't have racists ever be too dead to protect us from their hatred.
Seriously, this is so stupid. Why do people get excited about adding a sentence to a guy that's already in jail for life? What benefit is there to society by doing this crap?
Even the death penalty doesn't stop murders. Go ahead and rub one out over this but it doesn't change a damned thing. The ONLY reason for crap like this is to make idiots feel better about themselves.Maybe the next ginned-up Bubba will think twice before waving his gun around unarmed people of a different race.
LOL, I'm not the one posting rants about this. Have a lovely day.Even the death penalty doesn't stop murders. Go ahead and rub one out over this but it doesn't change a damned thing. The ONLY reason for crap like this is to make idiots feel better about themselves.

Come on!! Jaysus, you folks will always try that turn around trick, won't ya. It wasn't a hate crime, all you Socialists and Librels hate us poor white folks, blah blah blah. FYI, I am white. AND yes, I can recognize a hate crime when I see one and not feel picked on or insecure because I am white.I'm just curious as to the proof that it was a "hate crime". The left claims all whites are racist, is that the evidence? I know all white shots black is a hate crime but none of the black shoots white is a hate crime. Why is there that difference.
SO, he should have walked? Right? After all, it was only a black man he killed. No biggie?Even the death penalty doesn't stop murders. Go ahead and rub one out over this but it doesn't change a damned thing. The ONLY reason for crap like this is to make idiots feel better about themselves.
