Arbery - who i still think was an idiot.

An idiot for being chased down the road by 3 men in a jeep and murdered? Wonder why you think that about Arbery and don't think that about Richard Lee Richards, a man who spent most of his life in prison and was brandishing a knife. Such a mystery ??

i thought Richards being in a wheelchair and getting shot in the back 9 times was excessive.

@JJeffers thought he deserved it because he was a smackhead.

if you think charging at someone who is pointing a shotgun at you is a good idea then go ahead knock yourself out.

what do you think of the media coverage of George Floyd in comparison to the coverage of Tony Timpa?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

black men make up about 6% of the US population - they are responsible for about 55% of the total homicides in the US.

i would expect these percentages to show some parallel regarding encounters with the police.

i understand the link between poverty and crime.

i hate the fact that criminals, from the Krays to George Floyd are pretty much elevated to celebrity status by the media so young directionless lads see them as something like role-models. - most notably in Hip-Hop and the culture of "Blackness" were its seen as a stigma to be educated and too "white"

You seem to know a lot about youth culture mate.
It’s tough being a white straight man alright

Me too. I thought what happened to Richards was egregious, wrong and a crime. So did everyone who read about it on this forum.

But I'm not talking about my own feelings towards it, I'm talking about the fact that you found Arbery's shoplifting charge from 3 years prior to his death worthy of comment in relation to his death, and not Richard Lee Richards' lengthy criminal history and actual threatening activity on the day.

We all know why you see both cases so differently. Hell, I think you genuinely believe you're not a racist, but you also believe that police were out to get you when you were arrested numerous times yourself.


You demand an impossible level of personal responsibility from a young black man out jogging and basically demand none from yourself or any other white people. When black people get shot, you will always believe its their fault, when white people get shot, it's the fault of the police or some "other". There's a term for people like you, apart from "impossibly stupid"

I know I'm wasting my time on this drunken, cat-killing weirdo but I'm enjoying myself

1/ i`ll say it again- i mentioned Arberys shoplifting because that offence meant his probation for having a gun on school premises was extended

2/ you obviously can`t take in a thing i post. i said everyone i knew growing up was harassed by the police as its par for the course and the cops MO as to how they get you to react.

i didn`t mention my criminal past.........................................................................psst! this is an attempt to troll you, don`t fall for it.

btw. did you fancy getting back to the discussion about the media and their lack of reporting on Tony Timpa

it seems you`ve already wasted the your whole life up to this point so why stop now

i haven`t read a single post by you with any wit or even an attempt at humour.

you come across as bitter and twisted and if trying to put one over on me is your idea of enjoyment then you really need to get out more.

beaten?

is that what this is about to you!

i`m giving my point of view. end of.

you`re not happy with me pointing certain things out and it seems you would rather they not get the oxygen of publicity.

you`re literally like The Sun/Daily Mirror etc who lie by omission.

its not about Black/White.

its about real and fake and you my onion headed little friend are living a lie just like your buddies

was it a leccy wheelchair though? needed a plug in? charging at but shot in the back? boomerang bullets?

/don't bother trig.

Oh sorry, you meant an even more irrelevant charge from even farther back in his life? How silly of me.

From a thread entitled "Have you ever been arrested?"

quite a few times- i havent got a police record tho. the only thing i got pinned on me was drunk&disorderly coz i wouldnt give the cop my name+address

You sound like a bit of a menace tbh. Added to the probable cat killing, it paints a very unsavoury picture. But go on, please keep judging this young dead man for a gun possession charge 7 years prior to his death, even though apparently

i back gun freedom

Lol
