Ahmaud Arbery
Jury finds the three accused men guilty on all charges and rejects self-defense. Discuss.

As they should.
We shouldn't forget the local police and district attorney were intent on letting these guys go w/out charges. If it wasn't for the video one of these men took of the murder , becoming public months after the murder, this murder would have been swept under the rug.
When people say 'Black Lives Matter' ... this is the type of garbage they're talking about.

Re: Ahmaud Arbery
Like XJ, I think the real story is not the verdict, as this was clearly not a justified shooting. The real story is that the DA and local police didn't want to charge these defendants. Hard to argue the BLM folks don't have a point after something like that.
I want to draw parallels to Rittenhouse but they are clearly not the same. Both involve vigilanteism but Rittenhouse didn't initiate the confrontation in his case. Different situation, different outcome.

Both involved the police not doing their jobs
Re: Ahmaud Arbery
So the idea of some sort of police reform isn’t really all that crazy.
