Just in case you’ve forgotten, the Armaud Arbery trial is happening and it has reached the stage where the defense is using Armaud’s background blaming him for his own death. And saying he should not be afraid of armed white men in confederate flag trucks or cops. 🤷🏾

* They’re doing pre-trail preliminaries right now. And the defense is really ugly in what they’re hoping to admit in the upcoming trial

I find them terrifying. A few years back, I took a walk and saw a huge confederate flag on a garage door. I immediately crossed the street and started walking faster.

The "He was no angel" playbook:

1: Kill a Black man.
2: Comb through records to find something he's done wrong in the past. Aha!
3: Publicly proclaim, "He was no angel!" to imply that the killing was justified.
4: Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...

These guys have no legal ground to stand on, so the attorney will throw anything out there.

They will, 100%, be convicted.

It's detestable the way this hue and cry is taken up over and over again by media talking heads, and Deplorables on social media.
