Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Dealing with that fool on here is kinda like living in the US right now.

Around 35% of us (feeling optimistic) are absolute weirdos like that guy, living in an alternate MAGA universe.

Sad

Can't wait till this weird fool gets punted off the forum again. I wonder how long he can keep his grudges this time, his current record is ten years

its all been one big wind-up according to @MikelsGoat. all the `concern` about Arhmard Arbery was just a cover to get at me. using the murder of a black man to further an agenda in the same the media use them to spin their stories.

What spin are we talking here?

We know that the main thing most normal people are upset about on here is a young man having his life snuffed out by 3 men with guns. Let's not retread old ground there

But the parts of this story that upset you are harder to ascertain. The dead young man is more or less a sidenote to you when set against the real story for Oddball here, which seems to be the language people use to describe the case afterwards

For example, you objected to the word "hunted" and used the word "chased" instead

he was being chased down the street, saying inflammatory words like `hunted` leans towards sensationalism

But then "chased" wasn't right either, going by your use of those weird quotation marks you could only have found on a PC keyboard you basement dwelling virgin.

i think this is the reason he ran away or as you put it `he was being chased`. i think the situation escalated because Arbery was on probation and he was looking to evade any consequences.

Instead later on, you switched up and said Arbery "ran away", looking to avoid the consequences of his probation. So you now obect to the words "hunted" and "chased" as sensationalism but will unilaterally decide he was on the run from some sort of justice with zero evidence of that at all.

3/ Arbery was confronted by the guy with the gun and was shot after he lunged at him
4/ $--- happens

Then you say Arbery "lunged" at a "guy with a gun" who in your sentence just seems to be just some passive bystander in this scenario and not one of a posse that chased him down the street with weapons. Then, according to you, s*** happened as a result of Arbery's actions, which is your apparently "spinless" characterisation of a young black man getting murdered by 3 men with guns

So maybe, from the start, give us your absolutely spin-free version of events so we are very clear on how we've been mislead by the same video we all watched. Obvs you can't use the words "hunted" or "chased" now, so how would you characterise what these men did, if they even did anything at all?

Classic case of ‘just asking questions’ without having the balls to say what they’re really thinking. Slimy.

Very ugly behaviour, sometimes I wish these people could come out and SAY IT

your post is full of holes, its full of holes. Arbery was on probation when he was killed, he was found with a gun at the school he used to go to and his probation was extended in 2017 when he was caught robbing stuff out of a Wallmart. there are logged 911 calls about what Arbery was doing right before he was killed. he is on video walking down the street before entering a property, the video then shows him leaving the property and running down the street before anyone started to chase him.

Most normal people would ask questions like

• Why are those men chasing him at all?
• Why do they have guns?
• Why did they shoot him?
• Why does this happen so much in our country?

you didn`t like my reply to the text in bold, i thought you meant shootings in general. what do you mean exactly?

Look pal, I'm not sure you know how the justice system works but there's a few things about this case that I should point out

• 3 random men aren't allowed chase someone down the street and execute them for something they did 7 years ago.
• I know shoplifting something from Walmart 3 years prior is a heinous act, but again being gunned down in the middle of the street by 3 random hicks isn't the appropriate legal remedy.

You are utterly thick, so I hope I've spelt that out clearly enough for you

Arbery was out jogging. That was the fact of the case. The property thing has long been completely debunked by the owner of the property himself. Dozens of people passed through that site every day




You're basically carrying on a long tradition of racist slimeballs digging into black people's past to try and retroactively justify them getting murdered.

For contrast, in the Richard Lee Richards case that you were so upset about, the man was apparently stealing a toolbox from Walmart and brandishing a knife at the time of the shooting.

You didn't question that particular murdered man's actions, but you did see fit to rummage through 7 years of Arbery's past, question why he'd try and grab the gun of someone who was chasing him with it and then essentially blamed Arbery for his own death. I wonder what the difference is between the two men that makes you characterise their cases so differently ???

We all know what you are mate

why are you so selective?

Arbery was on probation for having a gun on school premises, it was extended because he was caught shoplifting.

Arbery entered a property. what do you mean this has been debunked?

i didn`t blame Abery for his own death. i said that grabbing the gun wasn`t necessarily a good idea.

we can talk about the guy in the wheelchair another time.

on a personal level, you are obviously hoping that if you throw enough mud then some will stick.
