Without agreeing or disagreeing with what he said, I believe this is just another case of 1st amendment rights, and the law in general, being applied selectively to certain classes or groups. Its is true that he violated his employer's policy and that is the reason they are using to fire him, but it's broader than that.  I suspect that it would not take long to find other social media posts, from other deputies, that also cross this imaginably line, but with comments that leaned in a different direction.

And if you read the long fucking 181 page thread on the topic, you would see I have said exactly that.

Even so, Arbery was an almost complete waste of cells and user of oxygen. I cry no tears for his demise. The attempts at the convicted father and the first DA to subvert the justice system were a much bigger concern for me.

What did they think he was going to do with the shotgun once he got it?

And I have more questions.

1 - When will Arbery be canonized?  We haven't heard a thing.

2 - What will he be the patron saint of?  George Floyd has already claimed Fentanyl, and Trayvon's got skittles locked up.

I think people are just happy to see some small outcome against the rampant crime and lawlessness that we see around us more and more lately, and don't think about what it means to the people involved.  I'm pretty sure he was up to no good, casing houses and probably stealing stuff.  Certainly nobody deserves to die for that.  But actions have a range of likely outcomes, and if you choose to take an action, you choose the chance of those outcomes.

Every single breath you could take about the Arbery case, in defense of the three dumbasses was uttered and debunked in the 180 page thread. In fact, whenever there was any doubt, said three dumbasses would  (either via direct testimony or transcript) show just how incredibly stupid they were  that day, and beyond.

I could make a list, but I can see your sole interest is to wrap yourself in the dichotomy of what you FEEL, versus what actually transpired.

As to what transpired ? We have direct testimony and video evidence from all of those retards.

If you made a list of your arguments - in defense of the 3 clowns, I could direct you to the page in that thread where said retarded arguments were deconstructed, and dismissed. Maybe you were even in that thread, and got shut the fuck down and decided to make another stab at it here?

- I don't think father and son decided to chase down and ensnare any random Negro that day, they simply let enthusiasm and adrenaline far outstrip frontal lobe processing and logic.

There's video of the moments leading up to the shooting wherein you can see the jogger grabbing the defendant's shotgun. That's shootable, especially when the shooter had his shotgun at the low ready as opposed to pointing it at the jogger.

Floyd was unable to leave the area of Cup Foods in the immediate aftermath of his failed attempt to use a counterfeit $20 bill. The reason he was unable to leave was because he was passed out. The reason he was passed out was because he was overdosing on depressant drugs. That's also what killed him. Chauvin's crime was not giving a fuck that the junkie he was kneeling on was OD'ing, not murder.

First off, there's no Black Brotherhood. There's Mau Mau, Black Guerilla Family, DC Blacks...a few others. You don't get to "join" the Aryan Brotherhood because you're white, you get to do what the AB says because you're white but if you're someone they feel would add something to their group you may be asked if you want to begin the process of joining. The people who were sent to prison for killing a guy who was in the process of attempting to take another man's gun will not be asked to join any security threat groups, other than maybe the Pesetas, a gang for protective custody inmates, most of whom are dropouts from other gangs.

Re-read your post. In your post you advocate for the rights of "joggers" to forcibly disarm law abiding citizens who're doing nothing wrong. The man was standing in the street with a shotgun. He wasn't pointing it at the jogger, there's no allegations that he was communicating a verbal threat at the time he was set upon by the jogger...there's just a video of a man standing in his own neighborhood safely and legally open carrying a shotgun and then shooting a man who attacked him and attempted to forcibly disarm him.

You're against people being in their own neighborhood legally carrying firearms, and you're in favor of joggers being allowed to attack anyone they see legally bearing arms.

You're right, he was wearing his athletic sandals. When he attacks the man who was legally open carrying a shotgun held at the low ready and attempts to take his shotgun we're unable to see everything that goes on but in this video at :23 and :29 it looks as if jogger performed some strange activity with his arms and hands that involved him thrusting the aforementioned appendages at the head and shoulders of the shooter, almost like he's trying to hurt him.

Can we not infer anything about his intentions based on his actions? Does he have to make the announcement: "I, Ahmed 'The Jogger' Arbery am hereby stating my intention to remove this shotgun from this man's hands and to then use it to commit murder"? No, he doesn't. He cannot claim self-defense because the shooter wasn't aiming the weapon at him, and he can't claim that he was being kidnapped because he exectued a 90° turn to his right and sprinted at the shooter, hitting him in his head with a closed fist.

Look, I understand the need to publicly proclaim how much you love minorities and to publicly denounce racists and racism in the pursuit of internet clout. I understand that most of the people on this site are conservatives and white and have spent most of their lives being beaten over the head with accusations of racism and that nowadays it's just assumed that we're all a bunch of klansmen unless and until we prove otherwise, and I understand the natural urge to flock around a thing like this and say, "YEAH, these guys were bad and they got what they deserved" so that you can later look back on your proclamation and say, "No, look, see? I condemned racism back when those rednecks shot that poor innocent jogger, I'm not a racist, I'm a good person!" and that you probably expect people to acknowledge your beneficence and say what a great non-racist you are. You expect credit for your open-mindedness and your even temperment and you feel good.

You will not receive credit nor recognition. You'll still be assumed to be racist. Just stop trying.

Saying that "they blocked his way" is a stretch. They stopped their trucks and he ran around the stopped truck. They weren't chasing him, they were FOLLOWING him. At the time the jogger had no way of knowing that he was being chased by murderers, and just as police can't justify their actions with things they learn about the suspect later joggers also can't justify their stupid decisions by bringing up things that they didn't know at the time of their stupid decision.
