1. I wonder if these dirtbags realize that they'd be wise to keep an eye open

I'd hate the feeling of having to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life.

But I doubt they will. They'll continue to be arrogant assholes like Zimmerman. They have no consciences.

2. I agree. I don't like that I agree, because there is a suggestion of vigilante-ism in the wish.

He got an insanely long sentence for the crime he got convicted of, simply because he was who he was.

4. These 2 trials are going separate ways

Rittenhouse will get off, Arbery's killers will get convicted.

The problem I am seeing right now is that Right Wing judges aren't giving equal protection to groups they disagree with politically.

it will be sweet to see Mr. Arberys killers get convicted by the jury of the select peers they wanted

rittenhouse is a rightwing hero, the judge is a ws so he's all in.

the hope is some of those folks on the jury may have friends relatives that may one day be protestors, and don't want their loved ones targeted nor shot by folks ....supposedly there to simply protect property.

the fake azz performance by rittenhouse on the stand yesterday should have been enough to let them see dude wasn't shook he did what he went for.( medic lol)

folks worshipped george zimmerman as a hero too but last i heard great things never really came his way, he's just another bum murderer walking the streets.

may not answer here.
but if you're a believer.
they will answer to higher power one day.

6. There's no way Arbery's killers get off

That case is as open and shut as it gets.

If they walk, I'd be in the streets.

That was a lynching.

Of George Zimmerman somewhat. Thought Zimmerman went to jail on some other charge a few years ago, but not sure.

8. Similar to OJ Simpson. Criminals gonna do crime, just a matter of time

How either of those cases could end in acquittal is beyond comprehension but that was the case in the OJ trial and after the election of tRump I no longer say, "that won't ever happen."
