Those many that you speak of, are still living in the Jim Crow idiom.

And covering it up. Now indicted and to be tried in February. Jacqueline Lee Johnson.

There would not have been an indictment. It was covered up from the start by a prosecutor who instructed one to go home, clean up and just come to the police station. Now she can face a jury in her trial.

He had to re-energize his never-ending 15 minutes of "infamy"...what a bigot!

Only those arrogant enough to wave the banner of their own superior morality.

I felt the same way when I saw it as well. Poor guy was minding his own business. They murdered him, plain and simple.

They all got got what they deserved!

[QUOTE=tvbound;2033431]Getting justice in one of two, is at least a baby step in righting our very lopsided system against people of color. To keep working on actually balancing the scales and scouring out the systemic racism that some don't even believe exists, will take a successful prosecution of this person also - and sanctioning two of the attorneys in the Ahmaud trial (black pastor whiner/toenail woman).

So you are willing to let a kid who clearly was acting in self defense go to jail for the rest of his life to balance the system! The Justice system (Jury) got it right in both cases. The media needs to start reporting facts all of them and stop giving their opinions like they were the news. How many times have they led us down rabbit holes with their false hoods. Too many far too many.

Hope the VICTIMS families sue Rittenhouse and the Kenosha police for millions. Rittenhouse is now doomed.

Someone, above, asked about why the neighbor was charged. The neighbor (Mr. Bryan) was convicted for felony murder and lesser included/related charges. Because he participated in the chase - but mainly the cornering (false imprisonment - a felony - by positioning his truck so as to prevent Mr. Arbery from escaping the three men) of Mr. Arbery - that lead to his death, Mr. Bryan's felony level actions (false inprisonment) contributed to the situation which lead to Mr. Arbery's death. Class textbook felony murder situation; could be used in law school classes to explain the concept.

Similar to driver of a getaway car who gets charged with felony murder when the robber kills the victim being robbed.

So was Gaige Grosskruetz... But he was actually carrying his weapon illegally. But so far, no charges against him...

Oh, I don't know... Maybe they felt it was important to document what was going on?

Lord knows the rest of the MSM wasn't doing it accurately...

Spare me your righteous indignation...

He's been called that by many. If you bothered to watch the Instagram video I posted earlier, you'd see that others (including African Americans) feel the same way...

Sharpton has made a career of that. He's also gotten people killed because of his lies and rhetoric...
