There have to be thousands of kids across this country each year - many of them that “don’t look like him” - that just had to get a close up of construction sites. Today, there are probably pictures like this of hundreds of them. I’m gonna wager that 99.x% are alive today too.But I know if I'm jogging
wut?
I have done exactly what he is doing anytime a new home was being built in my neighborhood. I believe there were even photos shown of other people, white people, doing the exact same thing in the same home Arbery is in in that picture.
Not without changing the Constitution. Double jeopardy is prohibited.
why is it always a bigger issue and racist when a white person kills a black person. Far more white people are killed by blacks every year and somehow that’s not racist. By the way over 97 percent of black people are killed by blacks. It’s not a white on black problem we have. It’s a blame it on white people problem.
Speaking of OJ and really, really not sure I want to do this - but, he was found guilty in a civil suit where the threshold of guilt is simply preponderance of evidence. Could the families of the people killed by Rittenhouse do the same? Or does his claim of 'self-defense' preclude a similar lawsuit?
I don’t know if this is true or not. Could you link official stats?
Great chart. Numbers don’t lie.Here is the 2019 numbers from the FBI................
Expanded Homicide Data Table 6
ucr.fbi.gov
no they don't- they show that the vast majority of victims are killed by someone of the same race- something that we've known for years
The families could certainly bring a civil suit. Self-defense would be an affirmative defense that undoubtedly Rittenhouse would raise.
Ditto. and yes the camera that picked up Arbery picked up others going onto the site. No one else was chased down with a shot gun. If those 3 rolled up on me while I was running, no ******* way I'm letting them "arrest" me.
I think the issue that many people have is the way black males are treated by our criminal Justice system compared to white men. The media also has a lot to do with what cases get picked up and focused on. It’s also interesting because if you look at missing persons cases, white victims, especially white females, get a lot more media coverage and attention than minorities. these are just my observations.
In terms of a situation like this, if a group of three black men had shot and killed a white man in the same way it transpired in this case, they would have been arrested right away, without video evidence unlike the defendant’s in this case who were given the benefit of the doubt until the video evidence, new investigators and a new prosecutor thankfully took over. JMO.
In Wisconsin he isn’t protected from civil suits even though his affirmative defense worked in the criminal trial. Every state has slightly different rules about this. The families can sue if they want to but Kyle can then counter sue them. Maybe a lawyer can chime in here or something
It would also not be on the news like this case. The media has been pushing a narrative of abuse that is simply just not proven when the facts come out. Facts are facts. Most crime against any race is done by their own. In the case of black people the percentage is even higher for same race violence. You need to look in your own race to fix issues, not blame everyone else.
Misleading statistic. the percentages are higher because most people spend a higher percentage of time around people of their own race.
69% of car accidents happen within 10 miles of a persons home. Doesn’t mean that the roads around “your” home are more dangerous. It’s that you’re on them more often so it’s more likely you will have an accident on them. The odds you’ll get into an accident on a road you drive once a year are much lower than one you drive daily.

Seriously? You think this would have happened if he had been white?
@Nitt1300, who is in your avatar? His pose and expression looks a lot like Rory Gallagher c.1978
It is indeed Rory Gallagher, one of my all time favorite guitar players
My friends hosted him back in that era when I believe he played at York College. Whenever he’d pass through the area after that they’d say hi.
Myguess is this kid died because he was black. No doubt though that the murderers chose poorly.

Has nothing to do with total numbers killed against another race. That is the point. More black people kill white then the other way. it also doesn’t represent the criminals offenders killed which I would put everything I own on to say the blacks killed are far more likely to be aggressors then whites.
I get what you're saying about "picked wrong" and perhaps it being life-saving. However, if he's been near a TV in the last few years and seen what has happened to his brethren, he thought he was making the best choice.
If he wasn’t a criminal he would have more faith in the system. Those men got what they deserve, but let’s not portray AA into an angel. You live a life like his you know it will not end well eventually.

And you’d be dead. None of the other S matters when it’s guns drawn . He’s dead. He picked wrong. How can he fight for right when you’re dead? My argument isn’t if he was targeted, looks like he was, I’m questioning his decision to battle. Which I’m arguing was super dumb. And I’m right, cause ya know, he’s dead
I don’t watch CNN or msnbc, but I did watch the defense presentation because I was home from work those days after a minor surgery. Every case is different but I disagree that race played no part in this specific case.
You are right race played a big part in this case. My issue is we make it racially motivated when it’s white on black crime. While at the same time black on white crime isn’t as big a deal.
I challenge any one of you to walk in an all black neighborhood at night in Philly. I visit my mothers in her all white neighborhood and their at black men walking through all night without incident. I grew up in Philly went to S. Philly High and I’ll have no issue stating I would not be able to walk in a black neighborhood at night. It’s ridiculous how whites are portrayed as more dangerous. But yet we cherry pick incidents of racism and say blacks are subjected more to racism. This country is going down the drain because people listen to what the news is telling them.
Do you know inner city schools pay more per students then the suburbs. But yet we use funding as a crutch for failing schools. No amount of funding will make up for poor family support or priorities that go against education. Our political system is set up to keep the poor down both black and white and the media is in bed with political objectives of the left. there are a lot of lemmings on social media that can’t make up their own mind. This site seems to have a lot as well.
You mean “mam?”
I don’t think I made any points. At this point I’m basically rambling and not being helpful. I am sorry if I over stepped. I do agree with a lot of what you have posted on this thread in general but I do think race played a factor in this specific case. Now I’m going to have a glass of wine and decorate the Christmas tree!
You mean “mam?”
I luv you 'mam'! Can you pour me a glass as well please?
There isn’t one. Maybe we can ask Joe to stop posting thread topics that we all know will devolve to what this and the other similar threads he started eventually turn into.
