Ahmaud Arbery OP/ED

[arewethereyet]

Just today in the last hour the prosecutor and defense lawyers were arguing over the admissibility of crime history in that particular location. The defense has argued that they had seen the victim several times, but could not claim they saw Ahmaud steal anything. The prosecutor brought up the crime ratio for that particular zip code to disprove the accused had any real case to even assume Ahmaud was a deadly threat. 

I think she, the prosecutor did a great job today undermining the defense in saying basically, "Well if this is such a high crime zip code, then why do the history of police reports don't play out to a violent neighborhood?". 

I once had a white guy walk between my yard with a riffle up his sleeve. It was the middle of the day, and it scared the shit out of me, because he had it up his sleeve, first of. But it was also in the middle of the day. If I took the attitude these Rambo assholes took with Ahmaud, and I chased this guy with a gun and killed him. I doubt it would take 3 months to arrest me.

Yes, of course, a rifle up his sleeve. Wonder why others wear trench coats to hide their rifles...oh yeah...it was a small rifle and big sleeves.

You are an idiot. Dude might have had a gun up his sleeve but it wasn't a rifle...maybe a sawed off shotgun or a long barrelled pistol.
