Gregory McMichael is one of the men charged in the Ahmaud Arbery case.

He's a former police officer and investigator with no criminal record, and he didn't fire a shot during the confrontation with Arbery. 

He just received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The theory of the case is that you're not allowed to protect your neighborhood when the police fail to do their job--as they did with Arbery--especially if you're white. You just need to let it happen, or risk going to jail for the rest of your life.

By all accounts Gregory McMichael has no criminal record and never had any complaints filed against him while working in law enforcement. His life is now over, his first crime marking its end.

On the other hand, a jury recently failed to convict Dayonte Resiles based on his race after he snuck into a woman's home, tied her up, and stabbed her to death.

The people who failed to convict Resiles and sent Gregory McMichael to prison for life are worse than any criminal.

You can deal with criminals, for the most part, through the justice system, although that's changing in America all the time. However, what can be done about your stupid lib who views the legal system as a way to pay racial penance or exact vengeance? Not much.

Darrell Brooks, the black BLM supporter who murdered six people in Waukesha, had a violent criminal record spanning two decades and three states, from shooting his nephew to running over a woman with a car. How many chances did he get? How many did Gregory McMichael get?

When someone like McMichaels gets a life sentence and libs celebrate, or when guys like Rittenhouse are acquitted and they meltdown, remember that this is how criminal justice reform is supposed to work: maximum leniency for their preferred groups, maximum punishment for you.

The guy who filmed the Arbery shooting also got life, eligible for parole only after 30 years. He was a short distance from where it happened and was unarmed. Of course, he also did not receive the same kind of leniency that Darrell Brooks got from the criminal justice system.

So Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted but Jake Gardner was railroaded to the point of suicide and now you've got these three life sentences--two of which were for people who didn't pull a trigger, one of which was for a guy who was unarmed and at a distance.

Since this is blowing up, here's a @ChroniclesMag article comparing Darrell Brooks and James Field. Fields, a young first-time offender, received two life sentences without the possibility of parole and an additional 419 years on top of $480,000 in fines. chroniclesmagazine.org/waukesha-massa…
