Amber Guyger Trial Begins

FriscoGirl · Oct 2, 2019

I don’t understand the verdict of murder ONLY carrying 10years, but I guess this is where each state is different. I assumed that murder came with at least 20 to life.

The family can sue her civilly for wrongful death and bankrupt her for life.

Sooooooo,

Victim’s brother is hugging the murderer, says he forgives her, loves her, doesn’t want her to go to jail.

Judge also hugging the murder, gifts her with a bible, offers words of encouragement and scriptures (assuming since I can’t make her words out well)

I can’t believe what I’m seeing but given the elements can’t be too surprised. Officially done with this and the kumbaya, everythang is gonna be alright-ness

Girl, I was like

(hugging and mess starts at around 1.50)

This has to be part of the script already written for the Hollywood movie cause this can't be real.

There’s different classifications of murder. Most people think of premeditated murders when they think of murder. That’s the type of murder that carries life sentences, death sentences.

Each state is different with how they classify the different types of murder and the sentencing.

The family is going to want to sue the PD but they cannot do that without naming her as a defendant so she’ll be named.

Like you, I can forgive and move on...but begging to hug a murderer is just asinine..what is he trying to prove?

I try not to harbor ill-will towards those who have hurt me because that can consume you...

But that right there. Couldn’t be I....and honestly if my son had died and a family member did that I probably would be upset.

luthiengirlie · Oct 2, 2019

I'd forgive.. behind the scenes..
But I'd rip into..

Lemme be good

Why do we love the "Forgiveness Narrative" so much? When Dylann Roof murdered the SC church members, the sun hadn't set before some Black people were talking about forgiving him. Can we be mad for a dam* minute? Ugh...

I'm mad. Feels like a win for the defense

Alta Angel · Oct 2, 2019

Welp, now I see that the judge actually stepped down from the bench to hug Amber and give her a bible. I am officially done.

Theresamonet · Oct 2, 2019

These types of displays from black people really make me sick to my stomach. It’s the only time I ever want to unzip and remove my black skin.

Is it white privilege? Cause I can't see a black defendant getting the same treatment. Or only 10 years.

Crackers Phinn · Oct 2, 2019

I was thinking about how much time she deserved and I kinda think a 10 year sentence is reasonable cuz she ain't go do all 10 years. Ole girl is an a-hole but I do think she made a mistake that she can sit in jail and think about for probably 4-6 years and then try live out her days trying to earn a living with a murder conviction in her background search.

People have to pay for their mistakes especially the kinds of mistakes that leave people irrevocably damaged. A lot of crime that gets called mistakes was the mistake was getting caught. I got no love and definitely no forgiveness for ole girl and would say almost the same thing if it was a black woman cop.

I have far more controversial theories on the bolded but I'll leave it at black folks expect every other race to return the "forgiveness favor" when "we" are on the needing forgiveness side. They don't, haven't and won't tho.

Alta Angel · Oct 2, 2019

Yes! And in my opinion, misplaced application of Christian principles and a deeply rooted belief in white superiority.

Dh was so mad when he saw the brother hug the murderer. He called me and said I don't understand.

I have never understood and I don't want to. She shot that man in cold blood and is already forgiven? Naw. I always said forgiveness is overrated.

I really hope the brother was paid for that hug because people will do anything for money.

discodumpling · Oct 2, 2019

These black folks doing too much.I wish she is handled expeditiously on arrival. I hope she gets shanked as soon as she steps in the yard. I hope even the y/t gangs are mad at her and wont let her sit with them. I hope she becomes the girlfriend of the greasiest y/t girl. I hope they make her a pet.

GreenEyedJen · Oct 2, 2019

I haven’t watched a second of this trial and I now take back the “YUUSSSSSS” I posted earlier. A dang hug?! A dang bible from the arbiter?

A mess.

Brwnbeauti · Oct 2, 2019

These folks get on my nerves with these outward expressions of forgiveness and "sympathy"
Guess I'm Old Testament in that area.

I only take comfort in this was just the 18 year old brothers view. I think mom was disappointed and her speech after was good.
Ain't no way I'd be talking about all that.
My toddler daughter was killed in a preventable accident and if my family had said they forgive her killer I'd flip out. I just cant phantom fixing my lips to say I forgive you AND a beg to hug...no sir!

I think her showing up at that apartment was a mistake to begin with, but everything after that was a combo of recklessness, negligence, and disregard for black lives... But I thought she was going to walk. It’s almost a miracle she was found guilty of murder, so I’ll take the 10 year sentence.

I was LIVID when I saw this. WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE DO THIS ****??!!! This has got to be some kind of residual brainwashing from slavery. Why the hell would he hug the person who MURDERED his sibling? Why would he cry over her? Does his mother's tears mean nothing?!!! Does his brother life mean nothing - yet he feels pity for this racist witch? What if she got off- would she even give him a hug??? What is it about a crying YT woman that sends out a Negro distress call to go and comfort said Yts? Same blasted thing with the Charleston church killings- Black people talking about forgive- *** THAT! I notice it be the real religious folks too- do they want to get to heaven that damn bad?

I know one thing, if he was my son, he would need to find another place to sleep tonight- I wouldn't want him near my presence after that BS.

I watched the whole thing all day everyday took notes and everything because it gave me something to focus on other than my current issues.
I want my week back.
Folks getting more time for selling drugs.
