    You know, it really is best just to ignore TrollerJorge. He'll grasp at any straw in an attempt to disparage and blame the victim while praising the actions of the antagonizers. I guarantee you he believes Arbery deserved his death (or he doesn't and is just leaving this bait for people with sense to bite on, as part of his troll shtick).

    I can find this Sheldon Francis- Arbery link being made only in the tinfoiliest of rightwing conspiracy sites. UPNews, which can't even make a decent website, or Patriot Post, which is a bit more legible. They says Francis was very interested in the Arbery case (like the rest of the African American community and Americans in general) without bothering to say how they even know he was, much less why they'd think it was part of his motivation for murder.

    I suppose for the Trumpy wingnut who reads these sites, the implication is that this leftwing fake news about how Arbery's totally justifiable death was actually a murder has in its turn caused a real murder of this elderly couple in retaliation. As usual, they flip the narrative on its head 1984-style and then accuse their political enemies of doing what they themselves are guilty of. The Patriot Post I linked goes on to explain that the leftists in MSM are pushing this Arbery murder angle to make sure blacks vote for Democrats in November. No journalistic integrity; just deal in innuendo and conspiracy. But I won't be surprised if I see posters a week from now referencing this retaliation murder as settled fact even in no more information about that case comes out.

    Yes, click the link and read the comments on the tweet. It is sort of eye opening but I have no comment on this rumored retaliation.

    Because as soon as the cops get there they will arrest them instead of the criminal.

    Ease up. I didn't offer a comment about the tweet. And Yes, your crew of misfits have posting random false opinions for 3 years. How are you sure it is false?

    So what was your reason for posting this?

    Because the name Avery was in it?

    What do you think the correlation is?

    I hate that those guys murdered that gentleman. I posted the tweet because I thought it was interesting. Next time I will say I don't endorse this tweet by the black community leader.

    Why did you find it interesting?

    The actual clip said nothing about Arbery yet you posted it anyway.

    Is Tyrone X in your timeline?
