Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think, when it comes to race, those who identify a wrong against a black man, for example, tend to go a little overboard in making a saint out of the victim, instead of just accepting who he was. It doesn't make the actions against him any less wrong or brutal to admit who he was.Last edited by JimL; 05-22-2020, 05:37 PM.

Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostI think just the opposite is true, that the innate prejudice in some people makes them tend to go a little overboard in making a criminal out of the victim, instead of just seeing him as another human being. Had he been a 25 year old white man tracked down and shot to death by 3 black men, someone, like a certain poster here, I don't believe would be making the argument that "he wasn't just some innocent white guy out for a jog." He would most lkely be calling for the heads of the culprits.
Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostHad the opposite been the case,had the perpetrators been black, then I'd be just as outraged at the actions of the 3 black men.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

This is interesting:
Under Georgia law, a person can be charged with felony murder for committing any felony that causes the death of someone else. It does not require intent to kill and carries an automatic life sentence.

The question remains: Did the McMichaels commit a felony in their attempts to apprehend Arbery? I have yet to see a definitive answer.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIf all other things were equal -- if that white guy had a history of trespassing and other suspicious behavior like repeatedly wandering around a construction site after dark, and if he attacked the men who asked for him to stop -- then I would have said the exact same thing. In fact, I probably would have been more pointed in my criticism of just how ridiculously boneheaded he was to attack someone armed with a shotgun and attempt to wrestle the gun away because I could say so without being accused of racism for coming down hard on the white guy.
In that case, I assume you are just as outraged over the half-a-dozen or so stories I linked to earlier of black folks being arrested or convicted for killing white folks, right? Of course these stories were ignored by the national media. I wonder why?
