    In order to refute it you would have to show the video was faked, and that McMichaels lied to the police. But it’s ok, everyone reading knows why you are so afraid to address my posts, and the facts contained in them.

    So if you stole a candy bar or attempted to take something that wasn't yours, is that against the law?[/QUOTE]

    Not in California.

    No in this case you're insisting with no evidence that it was racially motivated. And the only thing that said that it was was the news media.

    More able to think of than you. I don't see events like this as a way to push a political agenda. You do.

    Unlike you, many people can make up our own minds based on the facts of the case. The media did not tell us that the crime was racially motivated. I think it likely was, but the troubling part of t his case was the inaction of the DA that went to the point of villainizing the victim and sitting on the case. That was very obviously racial and LE bias.

    You're not seeking Justice you've made up a narrative, more like your dictators on the TV made up a narrative, and you're desperate for it to be true.

    you aren't making up your own mind based on the facts of the case you don't know any facts of the case.

    I'm not making up my mind at all I'm going to wait for the facts to come out that's what someone who thinks for themself does.
    I absolutely agree corruption within the prosecutorial system has caused a big problem and that's why people from outside of that municipality came in.

    But there's nothing in this that says it's racist, nothing to suggest that it likely was or was at all.

    You really are reaching now. There are tons of facts in the public domain. You are just choosing to disregard them until a trial is finished. Therefore your opinion on the racial nature of this case is highly suspect and not of much value.

    how am I reaching I'm just going by the known facts I'm not assuming anything like you are.

    if there are tons of facts show me the facts that it was racially motivated.

    If they're all out there and available then it should be easy.

    oh you've done with say it's obvious and if it's obvious than it would be easy to show the facts. You don't because you can't therefore it's not obvious it's an assumption you made.

    If it was common sense you would be able to explain very easily.

    You don't because you can't because you don't know.

    You assumed based on the races of the people involved and nothing else. Or based on what the news media told you to a su which they do a lot in correctly.

    I asked for facts. Rural Georgia being racist is not a factor that's an assumption.

    Identifying a black guy as a black guy is not racially motivated it's observation.

    Chasing a jogger doesn't mean anything

    So where is the common sense?

    Of course it's possible.

    I never said it wasn't possible.

    I just said there wasn't evidence for it.

    You didn't provide any evidence for it. so you believe that it is because you want to not because of common Sense.

    You've been saying that it is legal for the Slave Patrol to murder black men walking down the street and not suffer any consequences for their killings.

    A burglary suspect attacked a guy with a shotgun and got himself killed. I dare say that it wouldn't have mattered what color the suspect was. His actions resulted in his death.

    Didn't you just say that we don't know any facts of this case? You seem to be contradicting yourself.

    We don't know any facts that suggested racially motivated.

    Maybe you should say that next time. You were accusing the media of fabricating a narrative yet you never presented any facts to back up that assertion.

    As for evidence that this case has been affected by race, we have the attempt to find Arbery's activities as "suspicious" and even criminal based on no evidence except tresspassing. The McMichaels lost a gun and suspected this man of being a suspect because he was seen in "their" neighborhood on neighbor's video. He wasn't committing a crime on any video, just being a black man in the wrong neighborhood. This isn't 100%, but you can't deny the existence of facts.

    Then the DA inexplicably defended the McMichaels which speaks to the racial and economic divide in the region. Nearly every expert who read the police report and saw the video could not understand the inaction.
