Travis McMichael Sentenced To Life In Prison On Federal Hate Crimes In Ahmaud Arbery Killing
_Nice._ 👏
Bye 👋 🤣🤗🥹👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bigger fake news
Fake? Did you not see the video? The trial? They admitted this
When you hurt other people, you hurt yourself
Congratulations, you ruined your life
It’s exactly what he deserves.
Justice system is a joke
you mad bro😁
They killed a man and now are worried about the safety of their own life in jail😂😂😂
Deuteronomy 32:35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
HalleluYah for The Most High’s Word is true….
Do you think Travis is mad at has dad for calling him out the house.?or do you all think he tried to prove to his dad that he is a man. Or does he really truly hates blacks himself or just by hating blacks because it was Instill in him?
Never forget that they almost got away with it. The police had conducted their investigation and concluded there was no wrongdoing. The DA had cleared them of any charges. It wasn’t until Roddie or his lawyer was dumb enough to release his video.
YESSSSS LET THEM ROT IN PRISON THE RACIST SCUM!
Good job Justice system 👏
The three wise men..
Hmph. More like the embodiment of: ‘ Inferiority’, ‘Failure’, and ‘ Demonic Hate’.
No one deserves to be attacked the way they attacked that man no one of any race deserves to be attacked like that man now they’re worried about feeling the way he felt when they were hunting him down that slice of karma cake is going to hit you hard
let them rot for 10-15, and then surprise, put em in front of a firing squad
Can’t wait to check that website and find out where they go and hit them cash apps 🦎
Send them to the state prison, it’s exactly what they deserve!
State prison where they will be seen as heroes? They used to be cops. Heck the cops didn’t even try to discover the facts from anyone but the murderers
Alright
Was it worth it? NO!
“Back door” is an appropriate word to describe Travis’ future.
What’s the point of two life sentences if you already have a life sentence set? Why not make him pay restitution to the family?
He did. But this is more about making case law. Something that down the road lawyers can use to get more racists behind bars for hate crimes. Its notoriously hard to accomplish
Interesting, actions before thoughts are never good. That butt is going to sing like a flute.
Yo 😂 did she say said one of the three white man? 😂 Ya be stirring sh it up
I don’t know a lot about this case, but it seems to me that MSM is still obsessed with white aggressor and black victim crimes while ignoring the seemingly much more prevalent black-on-black crime. I suppose viewers like news about potentially racist things.
I don’t like hate crime laws since a white person who kills another white person would be punished less severely than for killing a black person, which is racist. Are there any love crimes 🙂? I think punishment should be based on actions, not ideology.
Hate crimes aren’t just killing someone of the opposite race or something. They have to and did prove that the murder was based solely on hate. It took a while but they did here. Its notoriously difficult
*_So what I’m hearing is they fear they may be hunted down in prison & might have to defend themselves & could get killed? Hmmmm!! Why does that scenario sound so familiar? 🤔_*
I hope all of them are put in GenPop and get heavy daily doses of prison justice. They belong in State prisons for life with no parole and no special consideration.
I agree with you, i think they will live a miserable life now, getting a beating every day, humiliated, a hellish life.. They wanted so hard to end in federal prison, glad it was denied.
These 3 Knuckleheads wanted to be an example for the community, well now they will
Enjoy the 6’×8′ cell life fellows.
Hope you’ll makes some BLACK, LATINO or Other race inmate members as friends.
lol goodbye bigshots
If those guys saw Ahmaud didn’t steal anything from the “Under Construction” house and still chased him down, can you imagine if he did 😔😔, they would had shot him down so fast without any hesitation and said he stole something, we were helping.
they’re simply getting a dose of their own medicine so no need to be scared with the “too much” hatred in state prison.
So now the “law enforcement trio” are afraid of the way that law enforcement treats people. Should of thought about that before hand.
Nice to see
So Travis you have to have you son’s son or daughter come and visit you in prison thank God you won’t be around to keep teaching the hate. Set down.
Are they gonna get separated, sent to different state prisons? He’s worried about his safety but still won’t even apologize.. He doesn’t feel bad about what he did at all, his hateful heart won’t allow him to feel, he took that young man’s life plain and simple, now he’s worried about his life.. His racist words will come back to haunt him now, my my my
Travis is talking to his cell mate right now explaining how he was defending himself.
2038: Travis is talking to his cell mate right now explaining how he was defending himself.
😂😂😂They thought they were going Too the federal Prison SURPRISE SURPRISE I wish after they die,they could be resurrected back to life,so they could serve their federal life sentence.
As the years pass in state prison, relax your cheeks and bow down to the penal system.
I hope they all get graped by big buff black men in prison. May they never sit down without pain again!
I hope Travis’ mom has just as many problems in the free world as they will have in prison. Because she helped raise a racist son.
Also his low life sister Lindsey who posted pictures of Ahmaud dead body on social media.
Awesome!!! Dumb and ignorant little man.
Jackies Johnson should get life sentence too
they are going to sleep in fear every night not knowing when its going to come for them. they should be scared Arbery was scared when they took his life in broad daylight, now they can be scared for there lives every single day and night. I hope they dont get them on the first night they should suffer
They are some of the most hated inmates to ever serve time in the Georgia penal system.Chasing and killing a unarmed man with a shotgun very cowardly.They will get no love from the white inmates they are law enforcement.
FAKE media show trial of the decade….the HOMEOWNER identified the WANTED CRIMINAL yet the McMichaels were charged with a “hate crime” for targeting a black “jogger”😆😃😒
THEY RECOGNIZED HIM!!!
@😒BLM trejurey depourtment🤔 not just naughty words when you have a history of being discriminatory
and i thought saying racist words doesn’t make you racist??? which one is it?
@😒BLM trejurey depourtment🤔 and george zimmerman was a racist and deserved bigger consequences. it’s okay to believe the same things other people believes. defending racists doesn’t make you special; you’re just stupid which is why you couldn’t show your face in your profile picture and had to use someone else’s. your whole username and profile pic shows who you are.
@Callie Aria if they targeted him because he was black you might have a point but the homeowner identified him as the Criminal and Travis had seen him personally commit crimes in the neighborhood not mention the police were missing the neighborhood with his photograph.. that’s not racism it’s recognition
@Callie Aria someone that uses a racial slur at one point in their life should not be considered guilty of a hate crime when they were forced to shoot someone who ran at their stationary position and tried to forcibly disarm them… like I said Louis Farrakhan is overtly anti-Semitic and if he was chasing a Jewish criminal who attacked him it wouldn’t be racist for him to defend himself that’s just stupid
He had “So Much” HATRED towards a Black man right, so it don’t matter whether he survive or not.
Well next time you hunt someone down u will remember that. No special treatment period!
In Sweden most murderer gets life but at out after 15-20 years. But in Usa life is life right?
Somebody’s getting their salad tossed tonight.🤣🤣🤣
Alot of people go to prison they be alright. Anybody want noodles . Lol
“He probably won’t survive in state prison” And???? 😂
Toooooo LATE !!!!!
I’ve seen evidence that they were racists, but I haven’t seen evidence that they committed a hate crime.
To be honest I’m not even sure they committed a crime.
According to the video I saw, they chased Arbery because they suspected him of trespass or theft, and then Arbery got scared (understandably) and grabbed their gun (not understandably). Can’t see the “hate crime” in this.
You don’t understand in the last moments of ones life being ran down upon, a victim of possible armed robbery, Kidnapping, sodomy, and felony M that you would fight for your life? Stop with the soy sauce
@Omega Phats
If Arbery had reason to fear for his safety then yes he can use self defence.
He’s a dead man walking
They shouldn’t have chased him down they should have just called the cops you would think the detective would have known better but more of the story here is don’t go trespassing looking for freebies if you value your life
And ahmaud did everything wrong, should not have tried to take a man’s shotgun.. kinda dumb and dead
He fought for his life and did what any man, not soy sauce like you woukd do in his last moments, fight! He didn’t run like a Solitary rat. These 3 race soldiers will be dropping the soap , no vaseline, jealous?
Enjoy state prison. No club fed for you.
Glad what they got they deserved it. But why is it these liberal media outlets keep pushing racism?? She started with “one of the white men involved in killing Albury sentenced” WTF say white man we already know that?. Should just say the men involved were sentenced SMH
The family didn’t want them in federal prison?? They should it’s more time than state prison. But federal prisons do have more things for inmates far as tvs jobs etc. So state prison is harder time
I HOPE ALL 3 DON’T GET MURDER IN PRISON! I’LL PRAY TO WHITE JESUS FOR THEM !!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYWOGj0sIck
What seems crazy to people from Europe, for example, is that the prison system doesn’t seem to take responsibility for ensuring the safety of the inmates in their care. Even murderers as vile as these three gentlemen should not have to live in fear day in day out.
Any Police officer listen to this if you’re going to use your gun aim for the Thigh,,at least the suspect can’t outrun you,,avoid chest,head,stomach,or their Back,, most importantly don’t shoot at all, you won’t lose your job bcs a suspect outran you,,
Guilty for being white
of endless dark days without light or hope of betterment..that describes Gollum..but these guys? watch yer back for the rest of your lives !
Too bad for the killer. Solitary confinement would be even worse than prison. Let the convicted have a choice.
Yeah their lives are over in a way or the other..
I have no pattern recognition and this excites me!!!
Hey Travis Mcmichael,you can thank your Pa for you being in PRISON until you’re dead.remember he raised you too be RACIST and hate blacks.so thank your RACIST pa.
Lmao , I’m watching this while eating dinner. This is what happens to trump supporters who think their race is superior to others . News flash trump riders : trump doesn’t care about u .
This was a modern day lynching plain and simple. The father through his own vile racism has not only ended his life, his sons life his friends ,and most importantly armauds life ,
But for 23 years Greg was an investor hater . Now he’s back at work as a inmate.
Uhhhh correction!!! You meant to say the racist white thugs that killed Ahmaud Arbery! Let’s call em what they are! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Travis is gonna be amongst the gangsters no pity for ya buddy. You now in the belly of the beast
im Ahmaud Arbery
black & white
they lie those white men are protected in prison from the guards to the prisoners they have nothing to worry about
What’s going to happen to poor Travis when Big BUBBA comes around the corner and says grab your ankles now and has no gun to protect himself with
after all, these two did nothing to him. Only one shot and three were sentenced, a typical media thing …
The sentence is official. If Georgia prison authorities pull a fast one and “allow” other inmates to do their own death penalty on any of the three, the world will know.
America…the country where prejudice ideology takes over common sense. All this would have been avoided if fighting and guns were not involved. Arbury would still be alive & these three idiots would not be in the limelight.
I guess this is what happens when you, your father and neighbor ambush an innocent black man for running through your neighborhood. They don’t deserve any special favors, state prison is harsher than federal, however these three men must face the consequences of their idiotic behavior. They’ll have to find a way to cope with the death threats and intimidation tactics. No sympathy for them.
Should have just call the cops if you suspect someone doing something wrong
The killers had no passion are concerned for mr.arbery.serve your time and read the comments against you,you have plenty of time to do this.
All cops are dogs. Lock him up for life, while we’re at it, why not lock up his kids as well? Teach them that consequences matter, and that they picked the wrong side.
Glad he got convicted . Now when are they gonna start prosecuting Black people for violating the civil rights of others?!
They already do at a disproportionate rate. Nice try tho
Prisoners group themselves by race. No matter where they end up the black population has them on their radar. So long suckas
He’ll get his.
We all have to ask; Did these men honestly get a fair trial and a fair sentencing? I believe fear had a big part in it. Fear of the backlash, fear of all the riots and mobs of people. Fear of all the death threats that people were getting. In a way these three men turned out to be victims themselves.
Yes, these three men, who hunted down and murdered another man, were the victims
I can’t wait till he gets in prison. It’s dangerous FOR EVERYONE! Keep him in that state prison!
I think the incident was awful, however the sentences are manifestly unjust.
A person sentenced to life in the United States suffer enormously especially as sentences get longer, conditions become more severe, and prisoners grow more isolated, tends inevitably to be disintegrative, both in the effect it has on the prisoner and on society. Long prison terms in the United States treat a human being as a monster and then communicate to society that he must be a monster.
The harm in other words, is not simply in what these sentences do to those punished but what they do to those on the other side of the walls. Life in prison is not only sadistically long and penologically excessive; it nourishes the shameful belief among the rest of us that people sentenced to die in prison are the incarnation of evil. For that reason a life sentence to say nothing of a death sentence is disintegrative.
They should of thought about this before chasing and lynching someone!
They all 3 need to go to Federal Prison! Just like any other abduction, and hate crime should be on the Federal Level! State Prison, and state athorities have authority over abduction, and hate crimes! Federal Prison is the best for them!
Why didn’t they get the death penalty?
I’m sure the neighbor’s security camera’s caught the murder which would prove the McMichael’s chased, surrounded, and murdered Mr. Ahmaud Arbery without a doubt.
The black cops from Memphis will get double life
I hope he self terminates. What a waste of air.
I honestly love this Prosecutor, she really hit a huge home run, with all due respect, I really have to say she has more balls than the fake men who chased and killed this young man, and today they want to be in a different jail because they are scared of what would happen to them, .
In life give give respect and you will get respect…
The state is setting up their murder. That’s not justice
I missed all this , them racist clowns just as good as dead 💅🏽
Travis is in hays state prison his dad Gregory is at Augusta state and poor Bryan is at Valdosta state he should have stayed home but if he would have we wouldn’t have video too convinced them
Whats amazing is that these killers thought , not only that they were in the right, but that they had no other choice. Only in America,
His just mad because his ginger
These men were sent to prison for defending themselves from criminal a black man he even tried to take a weapon
