So why did you feel the need to bring all of this stuff up? It’s one person here we are discussing, not all this other stuff. At least, that was my understanding and why does it matter what he did when he was a teenager? Most teenagers do stupid careless things. That’s the nature of ‘teenage years.’
Because it wasn't just about him you were also talking about the n-hood and it being " all white" like thats a crime in itelf. You changed thr subject not me. Ican go back and show you where if it is what you all want,this site is gone to total bias liberalsim,rename it Balck Panthers Inc,or Maybe Liberals Inc.
Use to be a fair place to post. I don't vote or belong to a " party" so not much bias here on my end. I think its all a big fat club and we ain't in it.G,C.
I heard on one of the news shows that there are other videos, so OK, let's see them.
I also heard that a witness stated that he watched the young man wander through the home being built and the shooters thought he may be stealing items. Truthfully, I have done this in my development as far as wander through new homes that are being built just out of curiosity. I like to see how they are building these newer homes compared to when I had mine built back in the '90's. I would guess that many other people have done the same and if we shot everyone that did this, probably half the population would be in the graveyard. BTW, in case you may be wondering, at least here in Pennsylvania, this is not a crime, so long as you do not steal anything.
The parents are asking for the death penalty, but I would caution them not to have over expectations. Depending on what comes out at discovery, if it gets that far, I would think there is a better chance for a plea deal.

Where did you see me even mention ‘the n - hood? Nowhere. I don’t use words like those.
I didn’t change the subject whatsoever. I commented about your ratios and what I heard.
I was perfectly ok to be corrected since I’m not out to prove anything. You are the one bringing in the Black Panthers and all the stuff you added to the conversation. I merely asked about a black to white ratio. That’s it. You added a bias opinion that wasn’t even there. There was no hate whatsoever against whites or blacks. It was an innocent question . PERIOD! Settle down already. I’m not an enemy here. Geez!
The thing going through my mind the most was listening and hearing the poor mom. What a way to lose a son.

The part where the shooters thought the young man may be stealing brought another case to mind. I remember being on patrol late at night, probably after midnight, when I received a call that two men were reported stealing items from a house being built on a vacant lot out in the middle of nowhere. When I got to the site, I saw two flashlight beams, so I turned on my rooftop lights and also the spotlights. I saw a man about 45 or so and a younger man, maybe 20 carrying a bucket. When I investigated to find out what they were up to, they told me that they just wanted to get a bucket of topsoil to fill in some holes in their yard and they decided to go there and fill up a bucket of that dirt that was mounded into a small hill beside the new home. I told them that what they were doing is a 3rd degree misdemeanor, but I wasn't going to charge them. The funny part was they asked me if they could keep the dirt. I told them they could, but don't come back for a second bucket.
Like I wrote earlier, many people walk through worksites that are in progress for various reasons. Nothing illegal about it, as long as no crime is committed, which by watching this video, I didn't see anything. So many times, people make up stuff in their minds or are looking for a reason to go after a person. I have read and heard that race is being advocated as a reason for the shooting, but I can't speak to that. However, if it was, I am sure that it will come out.
I don't want to start a thread on racism, but for some people, they still keep it going. This is going to be a better place when we all move past it.
And considering you haven’t been here since September and ‘this’ is your first post, it CERTAINLY DOES appear to have stirred up some very racial people wanting revenge. Yes indeed. I agree with you AND it appears like you are the one who brought up the words ‘ in the n - hood.’

You know I have never heard that phrase ever, I don't even think it's used in this country.... ( I'm presuming it means the N /r word ..correct me swiftly if I'm wrong.... ..
I’ve heard the phrases ‘in the hood,’ but mostly from rap songs but I’ve never ever heard the term ‘in the N’ hood.’ I can only imagine what the N word represents by the tone of how it was used.
I live in Canada not terribly far from the world’s most multicultural city so can’t relate at all. Not that I don’t think we have some racial hate crime, I’m sure we do but we don’t have this type of thing happening. It’s very very sad. I’m honestly quite shocked .
Sadly, I'm not shocked at all.

Me either.
This meaning seems to be an assumption. I wouldn't imagine that "n-hood" means anything else than a short form of "neighborhood".
I have never seen it any other way, in this country.
I hope so, RR.
If the person meant neighbourhood then why wouldn’t they just call it neighbourhood.
The word was used in this sentence... ‘asking all blacks to arm themselves and yelling out to the ‘white’ people in the n - hood , insults and threats.’

Society is filled with racial, and religious bias. There is No shortage of those who think their race or religion is "superior". Perhaps, many centuries from now, when interracial marriage has allowed humanity to evolve into mostly those of one "color", and religions have "morphed" into some form of agreement about God, events like this will be rare. In the interim, we can expect the extremists to continue their senseless acts.

I'm sorry but I thought it was a predominately white neighborhood, so why would they call it a n-nighborhood?
That weird link someone posted said-
"The armed citizens legally protesting Arbery’s death came, as there have been calls for more Black people to arm themselves because of continued consequences from the coronavirus pandemic, which has disproportionately affected Black people well beyond the health spectrum."
(as there have been calls, Yes, bussing in protestors)
What does the virus have to do with arming themselves?
That same stupid link claimed it to be a white neighborhood. Their proof is-
"It’s a neighborhood that is very white and conservative, as seen in images from the protests that show Trump-Pence 2020 signs on homes’ lawns."
This is the link that was posted to which I refer. Junk.

Interesting diversion from what the OP is about! First of all, I don't "hate on all White people" IF you were referring to me. I have many White friends and ex co-workers who were (we were) family. My BFF of 44 years is Italian and I don't know what my life would be without her. My son calls her Auntie. An online friend of over a decade, who happens to be White, met me at my timeshare a couple of years ago. Her daughter brought her because she knew we wanted to meet so badly and we had a ball. She is one of my favorite online friends. So don't try that with me. In fact, I've said to the Black people who call Whites "devils"...that they can't judge all by the bad apples....by the ones who did the lynchings and who have killed unarmed Black people. All White people are not like the man who dragged a Black man behind his truck until he broke into pieces because he was Black. Or the White Supremacist I saw on an HBO special who admitted he killed two White girls who hitched a ride because one admitted she'd date a Black man and the other had no problem with it! WTH?! I'd be a bitter woman if I let those things make me hate. I never want to be that.
rgp...I do find it disgusting when Black people kill each other just like I do when anybody (including Whites) resorts to murder. Whether killing of their family members for money or because they don't want to face losses due to divorce or because of some dispute or just for the hell of it (serial killers John Wayne Gacey, Ted Bundy, etc.). It amazes me that my opinion about this particular murder is being upended by a whole 'nother issue. Why would I find it okay for Blacks to kill each other. It's a ridiculous question...even if only rhetorical. SMDH!!!

Too bad Mr. Arbery didn't get the courtesy of being judged by the criminal justice system. If he did, we wouldn't be having this conversation would we?!

Losing a child is terrible ,period. No less so when your sitting in the room and see your 6 yr old being shot and killed inside her home by a drive by gangster,right?
So these two dumb clucks try to do a citizen arrest and the jogger tried to take the gun [ pointed down the whole time ,never aimed] away and shoots himself not once,not twice but three times! Now we have all these blacks with weapons tormenting people who had nothing to do with this?
Things you mentioned came up and you agreed so whats the difference?
It wasn’t a link @RadishRose. It was said by the above member this morning.
What? Of course it was and is. Anyway back to the lynch party,may be back later .Have a good time.
