IMHO:
Yes, the poster Mac7 is right. The exchanges on this thread are getting repetitive.
But, in my avatar's humble opinion, the avatar Mac7 is coming across as an unrepentant racist.
Time and time again, he attempts to lay the fault on the now murdered jogger.
A jogger who not done anything wrong, yet was pursued, threatend, attacked, and then murdered.
But some specifics, that I just pulled from the latest posts: (see the two pulled quotes above)
Poster Mac7 attempts to argue that neighbor Roddy did nothing wrong.
The 24 member juries who heard and read all of the evidence presented....from the prosecuiton.... AND...from the defense ---disagree with Mac7. All 24 disagree. Unanimously.
Neighbor Roddy followed the chase, video'g it.
He was there at the death.
In fact, it was his testimony that the shooter screamed at the gasping victim...."You f*cking N*gger".
His testimony that that the jogger was threatened by the killers with "Stop or we'll blow your f*cking head off".
In short, he was an integral part of the action.
And then, damningly.....he knew he had the revealing video.
He shared it with the shooter and the father.
He did not reveal to the police he had that video.
He could have. He should have.
And then, in the subsequent 'hate crime' trial.....his social media messaging was as damning to him as the shooter's was to the shooter. In short, racial animus was clearly conveyed in communications by Roddy.
He got a 1st degree murder conviction by a unanimous decision of 12 jurors who heard all of the evidence ----- that poster Mac7 did not.
Guilty. As charged.
--------------------------
And then Mac7....states: "then libs add a phony bs hate crime on top of that".*
(ps....Mac, "libs" didn't do it. Prosecutors did.)
As if, poster Mac7 listened to, or read, the social messaging of the father and son, and the neighbor.
He hasn't, of course.
But the jury did.
The 12 member jury, overwhelmingly white, did hear and read what all three of these murderers conveyed.
And the 12 member jury clearly, obviously, determined that racial animus was a motivating factor.
But, poster Mac7 didn't hear any of that testimony, or read or listen to the social media messaging.
However, through his own racial animus --- he believe what he believes. Mac7's own racial animus drives his conclusions.
So be it. It is what it is. To each his own.
No argument from any skeptic on this messageboard is going to convince Mac7 that the victim was blameless. Or that the murderers were solely to blame.
This thread has run its' race.
