While Kyle Rittenhouse is currently basking in the spotlight, there's another case that I think is much more likely to cause tension in this country.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52623151

Here's a run down of what happened in the case from my POV:
Dangerous thug Ahmaud Arbery appeared to be terrorizing the neighborhood and breaking into homes. Greg and Travis McMichael, who have numerous law enforcement connections and are concerned citizens, hear that a criminal is on the run so they go to investigate. They see a suspect running at full speed and they pursue him with their truck. Another concerned neighbor, William Bryan, joins in the pursuit of justice. Travis pulls out a shotgun and asks the black guy to calm down because they just want to chat. Arbery tries to escape justice, vandalizes the vehicles, but everyone is able to surround the giant. Arbery then goes for Travis' gun in order to murder the 3 gentlemen but is shot. Arbery continues to resist, possibly due to PCP or meth, and is shot an additional 2 times and he ends up dying. To me, this seems like an appropriate use of a citizen's arrest and self-defense but I'm not on the jury. As a matter of fact, law enforcement didn't even press charges on the concerned citizens until the liberal media got a hold of the case. Once it became national news, it was all over and they were all arrested and charged.

To make matters worse, it seems that the progressive activist judge is allowing black supremacists like Jesse Jackson and other gang members into the court room which will obviously intimidate the jury. How can you render a fair verdict if you think that acts of violence and terror are imminent?

Here is the live stream for today, 11/18:

Please discuss the case and anything tangentially related to any subject you'd like.

Is this the case with the friendly guy jogging in boots?
I haven't paid attention to it.

Why do they belong in prison? IMO, they exercised much more restraint than Kyle because Rosenbaum is only 5'3. Arbery almost killed 3 MEN.

That's the one. He was jogging in jeans, work boots, and 7 lbs of "bling." Maybe this is a modern technique for strength conditioning but I'm skeptical.
