Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms addressed unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery being chased and shot dead allegedly by two white men, Gregory and Travis McMichael in Georgia on February 23.

Host Jake Tapper said, “The shooting happened back on February 23. Authorities had possession of a now-viral video of the shooting from the beginning. But the murder charges were not filed until this past week after the video emerged online and shocked and outraged millions of Americans. Do you think that the two men were only charged because the video became public?”

Lance Bottoms said, “I think that’s absolutely the reason that they were charged. I think had we not seen that video, I don’t believe that they would be charged. But I think, again, it’s a part of this bigger issue that we are having in this country with the rhetoric we hear coming out of the White House in so many ways, I think that many who are prone to being racist are given permission to do it in an overt way that we otherwise would not see in 2020.”

Black people deliberately target and murder white people at at least ten times the reverse rate.

But that fact is never in the news.

Why not?

If you want to hear a well balanced view of the facts, listen to Tim Pool, who doesn't take a politicized view of things. With the right and the left piling on the condemnations against the two white men who were arrested for murder once the video came out, take an honest look at the facts HERE:

Yes. If only we could go back to Obama era racism. Obama racism was GOOD racism.

In a world where Criminals are set free to make room for Safe Distancing violators. It is illegal to kill anyone in the commission of any crime.

“Mr. Comey and his loyalists then set up Mr. Flynn in an interview despite having no legal basis. The documents show that Mr. Comey told his deputies not to inform the White House general counsel of the visit and not to tell the White House about his conversation with the ambassador,” the paper’s editorial board noted in a write-up following the DOJ’s decision Thursday.

“They also show that Mr. Comey worked around senior Justice officials, including Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who thought the White House should be informed. As he did with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Hillary Clinton’s emails, Mr. Comey acted as if he was a law unto himself.”

The local LA news actually showed footage of Arbery roaming around the construction site inside the house before he was confronted. Then they showed a clip of him fighting over the shotgun with the other guy right before he got himself shot.
I am leaning toward this guy being a hood rat who was set on stealing some stuff and decided to fight the guys who confronted him about it.

Trayvon Martin all over again.

Strange, they only pursue 'justice' when there is secondary gain or rabble rousing, but remain silent about the standard infestations that are day to day in the communities.

I think some of Tome Wolfe's books like 'Bonfire of the Vanities' would be considered book burning material by the Progressives these days.

We are becoming South Africa. At least in the cities.


They had some academic on NPR last week, she sounded English. She was talking about how we need to have the same type of corrections that took place in SA need to happen to the US, these fucking people are bat shit crazy.

It can be a burglar fleeing the scene. I've walked my dog by homes under construction, but would never venture in for the very reason that it is private property and folks might misconstrue what I was doing. The question is - what happened in the lead up to the struggle over the gun. Wrestle a cop for his gun, and you will likely be taken out. These yahoos weren't cops, but unless they were threatening to kill him, an unwise thing to do. If they attempted to do a citizens arrest, then an impulsive, perhaps fear based reaction, or a guilty guy not wanting to face charges again. Most unfortunate for all involved. But regarding the protestors, what they are essentially saying it is OK to kill large numbers of back males as long as the motive isn't racism, and the killers not white. That is kind of weird.

Scott Adams is so right!

White men can explore other people's property at night and wrestle guns away from other people with no fear of harm!

Right?
16   WillPowers   2020 May 11, 6:12pm  

I don't know if white people can even get away with wrestling a gun out of someone's hand without getting shot. I know I have looked through construction sites to get a feeling for the lay out of the house and I'm white, but I never looked for something to steal, nor have I ever seen anything worth stealing, but that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.

Confirmed:

* Prior conviction for taking a .380 Pistol to a High School Basketball Game and running away from cops when confronted at age 19.
* Video clearly shows him dodging around the truck and then charging at the Son McMichael.
* DA declined to prosecute citing other convictionS besides the aforementioned, plus Mental Health Issues as well.

A good example:

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/execution-style-elderly-couple-sniped-to-death-at-a-veterans-cemetery-while-visiting-their-sons-grave/

A married couple was murdered in cold blood by a sniper while mourning their dead son in a veterans’ cemetery on Friday.

The 85-year-old woman was pronounced dead on the scene, and her 86-year-old husband was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on Saturday. They were murdered by 29-year-old Sheldon C. Francis, who hunted the two elderly people and targeted them while they were most vulnerable.

This heinous crime will not get much coverage from the fake news media though, because the victims were white and the perpetrator was black.


The media is very corrupt, covering only the rare white person who kills a black person, and never the ten to twenty times more common case of a black person murdering a white person.

The media wants you to hate white people

This helps divide the public, and prevent the public from unifying to stop outsourcing to China and insourcing tens of millions of illegals.
22   MisdemeanorRebel   2020 May 12, 11:05pm  

Imagine, JUST Imagine, if a White Supremacist was sniping at say, gang members burying a Blood or Crip.

"RAY-CYST!!!" the media would scream. Would be 24-7 coverage for at least a couple of weeks.

I was waiting for a campaign that would have Queen's 'Fat Bottomed Girls' as an anthem.

It’s said above that media wants you to hate white people. Why do they want this?
26   elliemae   2020 May 13, 7:34am  

Where I live, people walk thru houses under construction all the time. I've never been followed, confronted, or shot. But then again, I'm not black, I don't live in Atlanta. I do live amongst some horrible racist fucks though.

I used to go into new construction during the day when I was a kid. Usually on weekends. Where I'd steal wood and nails for my tree houses!

Sure. 26 year old male joggers with prior convictions for bringing pistols to school are always jogging through new construction where I live. That's how they meet other joggers and compare shoe size, preferably at night.
