"Convenience store employees reported Arbery was known as 'the jogger' because he would stretch and pretend to warm up outside the store and then run in and out quickly, stealing stuff. ... The employees said they tried to have police give the man a criminal trespass warning, but he always ran off before they could."
"I did not think I could hate The New York Times more.
"But thanks to Gregory Mantell's amazing new book, "Special Victim Status, The Era of Woke Journalism," I do! Mantell's carefully researched book provides hundreds of new facts about the press's fanatical propaganda on race.
"Nothing shocked me more than Chapter 3 on the Ahmaud Arbery case.
"If you follow the news, you know that Arbery was the innocent black jogger chased down by three racist rednecks in Georgia and shot dead merely for "jogging while black."
"Arbery's killers, Travis and Gregory McMichael, were convicted in about six minutes and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Plus 20 years, just to be safe. Eight months later, they got bonus life sentences in separate federal hate crimes prosecutions. A neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., who happened to be there, got 35 years (state) plus life (federal).
"Quite a turnabout for a case that three prosecutors refused to take after concluding there was no crime. But our media can perform miracles!
"Mantell contrasts the media's treatment of Arbery's killing with their take on the murder of Christopher Lane, a white jogger shot and killed by a black man in Oklahoma.
