November 17Nov 17 Just now, Biff Tannen said: I will be shocked if they don’t get a pardon from the fascist in chief. Even if the appeals judges had thrown out their hate-crime convictions, the trio faced no immediate reprieve from prison. That’s because they’re also serving life sentences for murder after being convicted in a Georgia state court.
November 17Nov 17 Is there anywhere you can bet whether they get pardoned or not? Edited November 17Nov 17 by Beau Vine
November 17Nov 17 bumping this thread had me worried that they had gotten out of prison. I imagine that there's a TexAgs thread today where they're upset about a white man in prison for killing a black man.

The opinion, if anyone cares. https://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/202212792.pdf This appeal arises from the federal convictions of Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan for their involvement in the tragic shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery. In Georgia state court, defendants were convicted of murder and other charges and given life sentences.1 Following their state trial, they were tried and convicted in federal court of interference with rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 245(b)(2)(B), and attempted kidnapping, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1). Because the Georgia prosecution and judiciary did its job here, I object on principle to federal charges, trial and conviction.

"I can't afford beef or rent but by gawd at least he's putting those Black's in their place." That's how maga works. You can literally ruin their lives as long as you give them a license to be racist fucks. They'll vote maga like good racist sheep.
