Meanwhile, over at the Ahmaud Arbery trial, "We don't want any more black pastors in here,"

Last edited Thu Nov 11, 2021, 05:16 PM - Edit history (1)

A defense attorney for the men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery is currently objecting to Al Sharpton’s presence in the court room, saying it’s intimidating. “We don’t want any more black pastors in here,” he just said.

The judge isn’t having it. “I don’t hear a motion, and I can tell you this: I’m not going to start blanketly excluding members of the public from this courtroom.”

White supremacy does not even pretend to hide anymore. Not a lot shocks me since the rise of TFG but... A lawyer saying that in court is really shocking.

This case hit me harder, for some reason, than the Floyd killing did later in 2020. Something about the way they hunted Arbery...

The evidence their graduates are utterly incompetent is plain to see.
What body certifies an education institution to confer Law degrees? Seems to me they aren’t very effective.

I hope there is some diversity on that jury. Since the lawyer doesn't see a problem with going full racist.

terrified Arbery must have been throughout the whole thing and it's beyond heartbreaking and infuriating.

And these people wonder why the rest of the country doesn't like them. Must be wokeness or something like that.
