Opinion | Alan Singer: Slavery's legal legacy rears its racist head at the Ahmaud Arbery trial. - NBCNewsTHINK
Thus, I'd argue you can connect the killing of Ahmaud Arbery to a pattern of white vigilante violence and legal injustice that started with enslavement, continued after the Civil War with Klan terrorism and has stretched into the 21st century.
The defendants are hoping jurors ignore race during their trial. But just as with their defense strategy, race will be inescapable. I have viewed the video of the encounter, as have millions of other people. The defendants cut off Arbery with their trucks while he was jogging on a rural Georgia rode, a few miles from his home. They attempted to “seize” him on the belief he was a burglar, and when he resisted, the younger McMichael shot him.
if no crime was committed by the person that they seized, and they cannot argue self-defense if that person is injured.
