Very seldom does a black person get away with a crime, the offended relying on "luck" for justice.

Heh.

If there's justice, and the jury does their job Kim Potter is not convicted.

She should catch the 2nd degree charge, based on the video alone.

On the issue of our justice system, we need to stop putting drug addicts in prison. We need to send the drug addicts to drug treatment camps, etc, to get help and treatment, instead of turning them into criminals and sending them to prison.

In my home town I watched them build a prison right in the middle of my home town, and then they flooded the streets with meth, and then they arrested all of the meth addicts and they put them in the prison. It is all bullshit.

The rich people go to the Betty Ford Center to get clean, while the poor people get clean in prison. It is not a good system.

And the prisons need to be for the violent offenders, and for the rapists, and child molesters, and for the smash and grab robbers, etc. The prisons need to be for the real criminals, not for the drug addicts. The drug addicts are just stupid and ignorant, they are not real criminals.

Our system needs to have drug treatment camps with wonderful psychologists like Carl Rogers, and with great educated and trained people to help the addicts. Like the Betty Ford Center.

And instead of having cops with guns handling everything, we need to have drug treatment specialists, and Crisis Intervention Specialists, and teams to help the homeless people, etc. We need to have more educated and well trained people working in our system.

We also need to do more to reach out and help our foster children, and children without fathers to guide them, we need to help to guide the children so that they go to college instead of being homeless or going to prison.

They can bulldoze the prison in my home town, and they can build a school where they can train psychologists and psychiatrists, etc, etc, etc, and they can train Crisis Intervention Specialists, etc, etc, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hobbs, one of four reporters at the daily Brunswick News, said police wouldnt answer his questions or even tell him Arberys name, which he discovered by calling the coroner. He published four stories before he obtained the police report, based almost entirely on an interview with Greg McMichael, who said he told his son to grab his gun when he saw a Black man running...

Prosecutors were also not forthcoming, he said. Jackie Johnson, the Brunswick district attorney who was later indicted over her handling of the investigation and was voted out of office, gave the case to Waycross District Attorney George Barnhill. Barnhill justified the use of force as a lawful citizens arrest in a letter to police. Meanwhile, he told Hobbs he was still investigating, Hobbs said.

The main thing I did was just not let go of it, Hobbs said. I didnt do any great writing. I didnt do any investigative reporting. Im a small-town newspaper. We dont really have time to invest....

So, to recap the flukey nature of all this...

An accomplice to the shooting releases a video which he erroneously believes is exculpatory.

A LOCAL. SMALL-TOWN reporter jumps multiple hurdles to follow up on rumors and an oddly passed along (and cooling) case which the second DA seems to be sitting on.

A victims family that is notably persistent and outspoken.

All leading to national media picking up the local story and this spotlight leading to pressure from the public for charges to be filed.

Whew!  Wow, if that is the system working I would sure hate to see a broken one.

Do you?

Without the video there is no case.


Wanda Cooper, the victim's mother, said Wednesday that when she first learned of her son's death, a Glynn County detective had told her that Arbery had been involved in a burglary and was confronted by a homeowner who shot him.

Cooper said it wasn't until days later that she learned that Arbery had been gunned down in the middle of the road while jogging.
