Right a citizen’s arrest doesn’t mean you can go hunting for the criminal. It doesn’t make you the police, it means you can detain someone if you’re watching them commit a crime.

The Glynn County police had the video since they started they started the “investigation”. The guy in the car recording was an accomplice. They had the video and decided that “nope, story checks out... let ‘em go” and someone leaked the video to press anonomously that helped fan the national outrage.

Let’s call it what it is, these men were “hunting” nothing more nothing less. Anyone who tries to call this self defense is absolutely nuts.

“But none of these factors seemed to matter to Democratic Party operatives and a wide swath of the party’s voters,”

You make it sound like a conspiracy that people voted for him. People voted for him; that is it. That is all of it. 

Other than him choosing to step down, nothing is changing that.

“The McMichaels claim they suspected Arbery was a burglar and chased him down, attempting to perform a citizen’s arrest.”

This was a lynching. Plain and simple. The fact that these Klansmen are still walking free, when the local police know who they are and where they are says everything that needs to be said. And another “grand jury” 🙄 The whole “justice” system exists to uphold the White supremacist capitalist order.

That video was clearly shot with a cell phone (rather than one of those vehicle video cameras that are always running and pointing in the same direction) by someone who was following. So, whoever that person is, he or she knew something was about to go down even though no one was on camera when it started. So that…

What’s sad is without this video, they likely would have walked, as it looks like the DAs office was doing everything possible to avoid charges.

Even IF this kid was the neighborhood burglar (and I bet money he wasn’t), why the fuck are father and son parked in the middle of the street with guns already drawn before he arrived unless they were planning on shooting him? Did they really think this kid was gonna break in on a crowded street in broad daylight?…

It’s already been proven that they dont care about any wrong doings on Trumps part. They just have to keep this narrative alive to stop Democrats from voting for Biden. The same thing happened with the last election. “ Oh, I don’t like either candidate. I just won’t vote.”

How dare you? If Trump wins in November and replaces RBG with another Federalist Society sock puppet, it will be the fault of the vile bourgeoisie who didn’t vote for St. Bernie the Pure (blessed be his name) in the primary; it will most certainly not be the fault of the brave patriots whose personal honor (which is…

You’d like him to account for his whereabouts everyday for 7 months from 25 years ago? I’m honestly not sure what you’re even asking. Maybe he could ask Kavanaugh where he found his calendar. 

Yeah , I don’t quite understand why people aren’t unified over the idea that Pretty Much Any Democrat is better than Pretty Much Any Republican at this point.

Quite a few people, actually

Ideological purity, baby. It's more important than forced birth or children in cages. 

Yeah, but if we refuse to vote for Biden and let Trump win, and he replaces her with somebody anti-choice and generally poisonous, that’ll show... somebody.  Mostly vulnerable people.  But it’s a moral victory.  Somehow.

All his previous children were born via IVF and I just assumed this was intentional. I could absolutely see him being the kind of guy who says he’d be disappointed to have a daughter ‘cause girls “don’t like science.”

...an activist to the anti-fems. She was a first-rate feminist. Absolutely. [Laughs]

So basically, at least how I’m reading this, Gaga regularly assaulted and/or sexually assaulted Jordan because she wanted to go all “method acting”? And we’re going to be all “YAS KWEEN!” about it? O.K., then.
