Man who shot Ahmaud Arbery gets life sentence for hate crime

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.
I assume someone more familiar with the law can fill in for me here, but I believe that blacks, whites, Asians, can all be guilty of hate crimes. In other contexts, I assume that anti-Semites or anti-Muslims can be charged as well. Hate crimes are just one way sentences are enhanced.

When I used to investigate discrimination cases, I used to ask myself whether the incident would have happened if the person was white or male, depending on the case. Tho this question is not probative, do we think the incident would have happened if it was a white person seen running by the defendants?

SO, he should have walked? Right? After all, it was only a black man he killed. No biggie?
Walked? No. He was already sentenced to life in the criminal trial. Now he's getting another life sentence in the "hate crime" trial.
 
No one is advocating for his murder. But few lose sleep over it when murderers are themselves murdered in prison.
I'm still getting over the jailhouse murder of Jeffrey Dahmer & Jeffrey Epstein. ;)

Not only can anyone be guilty of hate crimes, black perpetrators make up the majority of people both charged and convicted of hate crimes.

Just ignore the factually-deficient white grievance nonsense.

Do you have a point? They are not gonna keep his body for a 2nd life term. He get out when he dies with one or 10 life terms. But if a court finds an error on appeal in one trial, he still has the other life sentence. It's what is called prosecuting "To the fullest extent of the law".

So moronic. The left doesn’t claim all white people are racist. This guy McMichael is though.

These guys never stop and think about the fact they are taking up the side of a racist killer in their never ending quest to own the libs.
If you have to put yourself on the team of a racist murder to "own" anyone you have only owned yourself.

Really? So you think he's got a shot at appeal? Basically, you don't think he's guilty, do you?

hey look another failed retarded strawman, who said he "he's got a shot at appeal"?
oooooops your posted meltdown fails again! LMAO
its so weird that justice makes some people so mad?
😂🍿
 
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?
Well unless the sentences run concurrently if he gets paroled he goes right back in. I have no idea whether his state offers the chance of parole or not or if they're concurrent - this is just a general point.

As well the Feds are a sovereign and have to enforce their laws.

He's already not eligible for parole.
 
Walked? No. He was already sentenced to life in the criminal trial. Now he's getting another life sentence in the "hate crime" trial.
WELL he can only serve ONE life sentence, so while you seem upset about a double sentence, I don't get upset realizing it is meaningless except for show. Maybe it's the "for show" that bothers you? OH hell, if something like that would bother me, I would be bothered every day all day as just about everything is "for show." In short, nothing to get bothered over.
 
Hope his lawyer can get him protection in prison.

Otherwise, the life sentence amounts to a death sentence, which most liberals abhor.
All three should be executed in the same manner as they executed Arbery.

Good. **** him.
I hope the judge adds another life sentence for being a soulless pice of shit.

BTW, love that you had to put hate crime in quotes. Does it upset you that there is such a thing?
 
Didn't GA vote for Biden and two dem senators? Just saying..,.
Glynn County, the home county of the McMichaels, definitely did not vote for Biden. Or any other dem for that matter. (Scroll down the link for presidential election info.)

 
Keeping his mummified body in the cell to serve out his second life term would be kinda funny.
You know, those sentences carry over.
.Trust me - that guy will be crying about how he was falsely convicted and imprisoned in a subsequent life.

The poster I was responding to referred to states. Not some isolated county.

Frankly the whole "red state / blue state" dichotomy is fallacious to begin with and quite a stupid argument. As in many so-called "red states" there are large "blue" pockets in the metro areas.

So revealing to see who is actually upset about this.

It's not some isolated unrelated county. It's where the McMichaels lived. And it's a hard-core MAGA county.
