This would create jobs.
You give money to rich people, they put it in an offshore account and America never sees it again.
You give the poor and working classes this monthly bump? They will spend it.
The government, especially this administration, with mitch McConnell in the senate, will never just give everyone 2-6 thousand dollars a month. There’s just no way.
Also loving the racist troll’s arguments that Arbery shoplifted in the past, which retroactively makes the killers’ assumption that Arbery was a burglar accurate and summary execution justified.
The real tell in this whole thing, to me, is the 911 call. The dispatcher asks if the guy they’re reporting is doing something he isn’t supposed to, if he’s on premises where he shouldn’t be, and they don’t answer. They don’t have an answer. They don’t respond with the dispatcher says that officers are being sent. They…
It wasn’t the video that made them take action; this video has been available to them from jump. It is the outcry after the public saw the leaked video that is forcing them to take action. They were utterly comfortable in allowing this lynching to go unpunished. They saw this video made by an accomplice, and let these…
Don’t buy into the racist troll’s argument that Arbery might have been a burglar.
It was a one time thing. The GOP is terrified that if this palliative socialism becomes a routine, people might start to like it...
Notice he isn’t worried about the prosecutor who had a boner for keeping his former LEO pals out of trouble.
and what of it? it’s not legal to shoot someone for a property crime, nor is it legal to make a citizen’s arrest for an act you didn’t witness.
Thats all well and good, but you’re not really speaking to my point. I fully understand the due process of law, albeit from a layperson perspective, and I agree that these protections are an essential aspect of a lawful society. I never argued otherwise.
This is what they want. They want white guys to be allowed to threaten black guys without repercussions. An unarmed black man scared for his life defending himself is a threat to two armed white men who accosted him, and that sounds about right to them.
That’s one of many fucked up things about this. By their own account they chased this guy down, and were barking orders at him while at least one of them was brandishing a fucking weapon at him. That’s not a thing you get to do and then claim self-defense—you can’t just randomly run someone down and threaten them with…
And what burglar goes jogging in the neighborhood they rob?
And a Black person falls asleep behind the wheel in a drive-thru and Bam! They’re fighting obstruction charges, resisting arrest, wearing a green shirt on a Tuesday etc.-and all this is happening as he’s being hauled away cuffed the hell up AND BEING ARRESTED!! This is fucking Bullshit of the highest order. And they…
There is so many things wrong with this story it’s so fucking amazing. Why the hell would you chase after someone with a fucking gun a not expect someone to wig out, especially when they don’t know who the fuck is pointing a weapon at them.
But we’re in Trump world now where idiot man children think they can save their…
