In reply to the discussion: Washington Post Opinion: The Arbery case is heinous, but his killers' sentences are extreme [View all]CatWoman
(80,335 posts)I watched the entire trial, starting from pretrial motions, on youtube many, many times.
Those men (the father and son) thought they were modern day heroes for what they did. They were convinced it was their righteous duty to kill that young man, and they were well within the law and their rights for doing so. I'm still trying to figure out why the idiot who recorded the stalking and murder did so. For kicks, maybe? It was posted on their social media -- a good thing as they weren't arrested and charged until that video surfaced.
The father was former law enforcement and should have known better. He and his son lied on the witness stand trying to justify their racism and murder of an innocent jogger. They even tried to portray the jogger as a robbery suspect. Who the hell robs a house dressed in baggy shorts and a tee shirt? Where was he going to put his "loot"? In his shoes???
In the case of these three sniveling cowards the Washington Post can go fuck themselves.
