ahmaud arbery got what he deserved.
He did.
But the people he was robbing got railroaded.
Like they tried to on Rittenhouse.
The Arbery’s death shows this. Travis McMichael does not fire until Arbery appears to run right into him and tries to take away his shotgun.
The greatest difference, of course, is what led up to the moment when Rosenbaum and Arbery each closed on armed men and tried to wrestle away their weapons.
An almost identical three-second encounter led to an acquittal in one case and life in prison for the other.
Both the Arbery and Rittenhouse trials send a clear message to white Americans that they can’t defend themselves without grave consequences.
Yes, Kyle got off, but it took millions of dollars and a hell of a lot of trouble to do so.
