Guilty..... just by the way they are looking. Their facial expressions blatantly read.... “I’m a racist!!!!

The video clearly shows Arbery sprinted into attack the men. He lived 30 miles away and was not jogging .

Since when does being suspected of stealing without real evidence or trespassing result in the death penalty? Could it be these degenerates acted rashly? Could their judgement have been clouded by racial animus from centuries of propaganda & exploitation? Not in America? Noo?

Justice for Ahmaud Arbery!!! JUSTICE!!😢🙏🤦

Fry them!

Put ‘em away for life.

I rapped about that.

He wasn't 'out for a jog' lmao

More cnn manipulation

'out for a jog'

Ever seen redder necks than these 3

These three are avatars of today’s Republican Party.

A jog from someone's property..

Death sentence is eminent

Lock them up throw away the keys forever. Ahmaud would be here now. He was a gentle soul

The police first let them go... And still people telling that white privilege is not a thing, assh*les!

They need to be taught that this isn’t their mama and daddys era. I saw the video and it’s a classic 1950s murder of a Blackman. It was a group of ARMED whitemen against an unarmed jogging Blackman in his own neighborhood. It’s 2021!! Kill the racism!!

These three white supremacist were not threatened in anyway. They committed murder

Found innocent due to just having a bad day.

What they did was wrong and evil. They had no right to act in such a manner.

They deserve no breaks no deals - they are ugly high risk monsters. Be done with them ! Stop wasting time and $$$$ on them - they killed a jogger!

The three stooges. They deserve sentencing to the max.

Ya they look the part

I hope all 3 realize now how racist they are…

He wasn’t being arrested for a crime, his former mate wasn’t a drug dealer….How in the world are they going to justify this murder? He shouldn’t have been exercising around obese white men?

Use the accusers ’ names, not Arbery’s. McMichael, McMichael, and Bryan.

why tho😤😤😤

You spelled murderers wrong.

We watched them hunt and kill him but other than that, great job, CNN.

If the roles were reversed, would you ever say 'three black men'?... You wouldn't.

The death penalty should win and they should be chased around with shotguns and hunted by their neighbors

These guys deserve what they get but wasn’t the “out for jog” thing squashed already?

⛓I hope they like orange, stripes, and karma⛓

Thank you CNN for clearing up the Race question. I would have no idea by looking at them (Especially the guy in the middle) that they were 'WHITE' if it wasn't the 'FIRST' thing you pointed out. RacePimpingForRatings.

wow i can hear deliverance from here.

Regardless of what Mr. Arbery was doing you can't just someone and if that was a white guy he wouldn't have. The racial aspect can't be ignored

Self defense?

Jogger or not, these (for want of a better word) men took the law into their own hands and committed murder. Murder is murder.

When they find them guilty, they should finish them publicly, so others wont do same sheet.

In other words, right up your ally - you love stuff like this, stoke as many racial flames as you possibly can…. Yesss yesss!!!

The only justice that can be served here is three bullets to the head🤷🏾

Hillbillies

No no no. They were just being jerks, right MikeAre2 ?😏

Ok, now do black thugs killing blacks, oh wait,, its not news….

Be Safe in the Southern USA.

Why do I hear banjos?

We demand safety of Bangladeshi Hindus StopCommunalAttack SaveBangladeshiHindus BangladeshiHinduWantSafety WeDemandSafety WeDemandJustice SaveHindus SaveHinduTemples SaveOurCommunity SaveHumanity

Lock ‘em up and toss the key.

I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst in this case AhmaudArbery
