Knowing Ahmaud Arbery's killers will be punished is a good feeling, but knowing Ahmaud Arbery is dead is a worse one, ZachStafford writes.

A demonstrator holds a sign at the Glynn County Courthouse as jury selection begins in the trial of the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery on Oct. 18 in Brunswick, Ga. His killers were found guilty Wednesday., MSNBC Opinion Columnist

Knowing Arbery's killers will be punished is a good feeling, but knowing Arbery is dead is a worse one."," Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Arbery's family said outside the courthouse Wednesday."It is a reflection to acknowledge that the spirit of Ahmaud defeated the Lynch mob." The jury did not convict his father, Gregory McMichael, of malice murder, but convicted him of the other eight counts. William"Roddie" Bryan, who recorded the chase and murder of Arbery, was convicted of three felony murder counts, an aggravated assault count, a false imprisonment count and one count of criminal attempt to commit a felony.Today, Arbery's family should feel some small measure of relief from what must be an ongoing nightmare.

For example, the white people who killed Andrew Goodman and James Schwerner in Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1964 and Viola Liuzzo and James Reeb in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 were never convicted of murder in their respective state courts. It didn’t matter that their victims were white. What mattered was that their victims were publicly supporting Black people.

And the name Sandra Bland, who was ordered out of her car by a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop after she refused to put out her cigarette.

ZachStafford All my experience happens to be total failure but i never gave up because i knew it was going to work out for me someday, fortunately am smiling today by getting involved with a manager I came across on a Tweet lisamiaBTC all I can say is she is the best of all.

ZachStafford It’s the very very thought of how he died … and the entire rationalisation of it by certain sections of US society At what point do we as human beings STOP excusing STOP Politicising STOP treating others as if their lives have lesser value than our very own shameshameshame

ZachStafford Moaning and griping even after the verdict...always pushing the falsehoods of non-existent 'systemic racism'...

ZachStafford nice

All three defendants guilty on murder charges in Ahmaud Arbery caseThe three men on trial in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery were convicted Wednesday by a Georgia jury on murder charges, closing a case that became a fixture of debates about racial injustice in America I guess Trump won’t invite them to Mar-a-Lago for pictures. So Trump actually USED the Murderer of Two people to Fundraise Off of. So Typical! This case WAS Politicized because they made it about GUNS rather than an Underage, Unlicensed, Immature kid crossing state lines with a gun purchased for him by an 18 year old friend, who lives… Thousands of lynchings over several generations. Georgia is at last showing they are ready to move into modern times. Wisconsin, not so much. Each community must realize what justice means. Time to evolve and reject the white supremacists ideals.
