ARBERY

Legislators are encouraging 2.23 mile runs in honor of the slain Black jogger.

Jurors returned a verdict in the high-profile hate crimes trial after just a few hours of deliberations.

A federal prosecutor began Monday's opening arguments by saying the defendants' history of racist statements explains why they chased Ahmaud Arbery and "shot him and let him die on the streets like an animal.” Defense closing arguments come next.

The defendants have already been convicted for what they did. A guilty verdict in this hate crime trial would be an indictment of who they are.

Trial will focus on whether whether Gregory and Travis McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan were motivated to kill Ahmaud Arbery because he was Black.

Jurors heard little about race in a murder trial last fall. Now a second trial will put the issue front and center.

Obviously, 64-year-old McMichael still considered himself to be an authority figure. That could be why he summoned his son to join him in making a citizens arrest of a black man he thought to be a burglary suspect. It also could explain why they armed themselves with a rifle and a handgun and set out to track Arbery down as he jogged through the neighborhood.

If you have ever wondered what white privilege looks like when its abused, this is it. When vigilante white men shoot unarmed black men, it is nearly always twisted to become the black mans fault. Thats what happened with Trayvon, when there was no video to prove otherwise. And the same was about to happen to Arbery.
