I don't think the video recorder guy should have received a life sentence. Wingus Dingus Aug 2022 #17

Manson didn't kill anyone either... AZSkiffyGeek Aug 2022 #20

Did this video-taking guy organize and direct the killing? Wingus Dingus Aug 2022 #27

Yes--he was found to have participated in detaining Arbery, and not just a passive witness. Wingus Dingus Aug 2022 #54

That wasn't the point. Manson never physically killed leftyladyfrommo Aug 2022 #25

he did a bit more than just film it. He was helping to cut off Arbery's escape. Solomon Aug 2022 #48

Strongly disagree. If you pursuit-hunt and kill another human, you SHOULD get life in prison. RockRaven Aug 2022 #34
