Looks like Travis will be spending life in prison. Bryan will do time too. You just can't kill black people and expect to get off easy. I thought we were past this by now? Looks like laws on civil arrest will be reviewed.

Last time I paid attention to this was right after it happened and what appeared to have happened was that the three yahoos attempted to do a citizen's arrest on Arberry and it went sideways in a hurry.

Yes, once Arbery tried to get away from these stooges, they should have let him run off and called the police.

Similarly with the Kyle Rittenhouse incident. Huber and Grosskreutz thought they were confronting an active shooter and that they were justified in assaulting him. If the jury had found that the shooting of Rosenbaum had been unjustified, I believe they would have found that the shootings of Huber and Grosskreutz were unjustified as well.

Agree, Rosenbaum was a real lowlife creep with mental illness. We was aggressive and acted violently towards persons other than Rittenhouse.
These three came after Rittenhouse who was in retreat, while Arbery's attackers were coming after him armed. This is the big difference.
I hate to say this, but I think it is true; had rittenhouse's attackers been black, he might have been found guilty of lesser charges? I think the police agression towards uncooperative black people is a real concern for policing today.

I dont even care at all about their names. There were many when I was young, but now days being aggressive to black people is going to cause trouble.
You're just a youngster, you don't remember when black people had to buy there ticket outside the theater and sit in the balcony. When they would get kicked out of the theater when white boys threw popcorn boxes on them. I remember when white people acted as if they owned black people.

I didn't know that 60 years old was young.

What are you, 100 years old?

You weep for black people. You forget that cities like LA and more are infested with black gangs who are well armed. For decades in cities like Oakland blacks have terrorized whites, and in many areas a white person cannot even step foot into.

I have news for you: The black man is not the little victim you make him out to be.

Lets go back 10 years to May 16, 2012

Black Mob Beat White Virginia Couple Senseless – Hate Crime Was Covered Up by Virginia Pilot

There’s outrage in Norfolk, Va., today after a white couple was attacked by dozens of black teenagers, and the local newspaper did not report on the incident for two weeks, despite the victims being reporters for the paper.

Even today, the Virginian-Pilot did not cover the crime as news, but rather as an opinion piece by columnist Michelle Washington.

“Wave after wave of young men surged forward to take turns punching and kicking their victim,” Washington wrote, describing the onslaught that began when Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami stopped at a traffic light while driving home from a show on a Saturday night. A crowd of at least 100 black young people was on the sidewalk at the time.

“Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that’s when the beating began. …

“The victim’s friend, a young woman, tried to pull him back into his car. Attackers came after her, pulling her hair, punching her head and causing a bloody scratch to the surface of her eye. She called 911. A recording told her all lines were busy. She called again. Busy. On her third try, she got through and, hysterical, could scream only their location. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. It happened four blocks from where they work, here at the Virginian-Pilot.”

Washington says neither suffered grave injuries, but both were out of work for a week. Forster’s torso ached from blows to his ribs, and he retained a thumb-sized bump on his head. Rostami reportedly fears to be alone in her home, while Forster wishes he’d stayed in the car.

The columnist admits the story has not, until today, appeared in the Virginian-Pilot.

“The responding officer coded the incident as a simple assault, despite their assertions that at least 30 people had participated in the attack,” Washington explains. “A reporter making routine checks of police reports would see ‘simple assault’ and, if the names were unfamiliar, would be unlikely to write about it. In this case, editors hesitated to assign a story about their own employees. Would it seem like the paper treated its employees differently from other crime victims?”

Washington says the day after the beatings, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack, and one post in particular chilled him.

“I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,” wrote one person. “I don’t,” wrote another, indicating laughter. “(do it for trayvon martin)”

Trayvon Martin is the unarmed black teen who died after being shot by a community-watch captain with white and Hispanic parents, George Zimmerman, in Sanford, Fla., sparking a wave of outrage long after the incident. The newspaper is coming under heavy criticism today from residents in the greater Norfolk area, known as Hampton Roads.

“It is unbelievable that the Virginian-Pilot would BURY this story for two weeks for politically correct reasons. That is sad and disgusting,” said David Englert of Norfolk. “Someone should be fired or resign over the decision not to report this attack. It is a sad enough commentary on our society and community to read about how the responding police viewed this crime, but for our only newspaper to decide that they will hide from the truth rather than report the truth is PATHETIC! Any attack by a mob of people on any innocent victim should be put under a bright spotlight for all involved to be judged and exposed as appropriate, and to make sure that the criminal justice system does its job to protect those who obey the law.”

William Tabor of Chesapeake, Va., complained: “Surely the Pilot knew about it. A racially motivated attack is certainly news. Was it not politically correct enough to be reported? Is civilization suspended in Norfolk after dark? If we can’t rely on the police for protection, and our [news] media fails to warn us of such hazards, we can only rely on ourselves.”

Charles Chandler of Norfolk indicated: “I am not sure what I am angrier about. This story, or the crowd of black teens who needlessly and thoughtlessly beat two white victims. Or am I just angry that this still occurs in the year 2012. Nearly fifty years after the marches and the speeches and the declaration of civil liberties for all people. Clearly we are nowhere near the dream Dr. King envisioned. I am angry. I am angry at the calloused cop who stated ‘this is what they do.’ I am angry at the Pilot for hiding it under a bushel.”

And Douglas Gaynor of Virginia Beach brought up the need for self-defense, saying, “If the young lady was armed and trained, she could have whipped out P345 and taken out a few thugs.”

When I went to the local country store, the woman who worked there yelled at me for bringing two black boys into her building.

I did not even think about it, nor did I wonder why the boys seemed so meek and shy.

I saw discrimination wherever I went in town, white only water fountains, restrooms and restaurants.

If blacks looked too directly at a white woman, they might get beat up, maybe killed.

So stop complaining about them wanting black only spaces. They learned it from us.

And you're how old? You pretty obviously grew up in southern Democrat strongholds. I've never seen anything of the kind. I've read about it but only where Democrats held very strong majorities. Blacks didn't learn it from any "us" of which I was a part.

Good grief. Who were they, Ma and Pa Kettle? The America you're talking about doesn't even exist anymore. Join us in the year 2021 where schools officially teach that white people are evil, black gangs rules streets, and a black person can get you fired from your job if they don't like your haircut.
