In this context 'intimidating' actually may be the closest word to describe "risk reminding the jury about basic human decency". That _is_ intimidating to racist hoping to gaslight the public.
He knows full well it's public, and it was no accident. It plays to the narrative that the defendants were justified in their actions because people of Al Sharpton's color are "scary and intimidating."
If that defense attorney can actually feel that Reverend Al Sharpton was intimidating to the jury who are safe, let's imagine how Mr. Arberry felt as he was being chased and tracked down by armed men in vehicles... Then the accused wants to say they used deadly force because they were in fear for t heir lives... Mr. Arberry was in fear for his life as they were chasing him because they created an intimidating situation... They could have called the cops in the 5mins the chased him, they could have stopped chasing him, or better yet just asked him what he was doing while at the house... But they didn't... They choose to chase this man with their ducks and guns and live out their deep seated for of vigilantly style justice...

Oddly enough, the "Justice is Blind" concept came up as an attack on the justice system. Having trouble finding it now, though you can easily find that "Justitia" did not wear a blindfold until the 1500s. That's over 3000 years that the idea of justice being blind was not considered.

Kind of shows what he thinks about Black men and his narrative on how people should feel around them, scared, threatened, and intimidated. That wasn't a dog whistle, it was a foghorn.
Dogs don't whistle, they whine and growl. The two legged dogs growl menacingly to make up for their lick-spittal groveling to their superiors, who are not all painted orange and wearing polyester, made-in-China wigs, but are mostly depraved, money grubbing, self-anointed dregs of society.

This "defense" that Ahmaud went into a construction site is such total bullshit. He probably used the site as a rest spot on his runs, perhaps fantasizing about the house that would go there, whatever. It's actually very common for construction sites to be an object of meditation. But the fact that they are allowed to talk about his stops at the construction site as any kind of reason to hunt him down is just sickening. That would NEVER EVER happen to a person who is white.
@@victoriabaker4400 I totally agree. I personally find construction fascinating (probably because my dad built our house with his own two hands when I was a kid.). Even the owner said he didn't do anything, the neighbor who saw him go in and out said Ahmaud didn't do anything when he testified. Frankly, I have slightly more hope that they will be convicted than Rittenhouse.
@@erykaton170 Exactly, the owner said he never went inside like other did, just looked on the outside. I cannot believe how the judge is just handing Rittenhouse either a not-guilty or a mistrial. It's infuriating and extremely worrisome, because that guy is the current poster boy for the organized white supremacists.
I keep thinking that. Ahmaud must have been truly frightened by these men hunting him. What really bothers me is how the local prosecutor failed at his job to bring charges in a timely manner. If Ahmaud were white and three black men hunted him down. Well, you can bet there would have been zero delay. It’s mentally exhausting to live a life of slights, indignation, discrimination, disenfranchisement, economic disparity, etc…. Also knowing your children will have to deal with the same damn thing.

Pat Robertson actually is intimidating though, have you heard the crap his Trump loving self has been saying. That seems like he's embracing the cult lifestyle

Bottom line: Defense attorney wants to make his case against Rev. Sharpton because he’s a polarizing figure (to some). It’s an easier case to make than justifying his client’s murderous acts.
Was gonna make this point till I saw you did it. I would like to add that the reason the Reverend is polarizing is because he's well known for sitting with black families that had members murdered, especially if the following case is high profile. His presence sends a message, of support and solidarity to and about the black community. He is experienced and can help guide the family through the sometimes extra trauma the media adds. He can help prepare them to make statements, make statements for them, or simply take all focus off the family because he knows he's polarizing in order to shield them. Rev. Sharpton is polarizing because the idea of black solidarity scares bigots, and he doesn't want the jury to see the family receiving comfort because that humanizes the victim, Mr. Arbery, gives him a family that needs someone as well known as Rev. Sharpton to help them through the long complicated process of losing a loved one to what is either directly or indirectly the result of racism or at least perceived that way. And he does it peacefully, yet with every ounce of authority a passionate clergyman brings to his sermons. The idea that the victim was a good and God fearing man like most of them likely feel they are is also likely not something he wants them thinking about. *Because he doesn't want them relating to a black victim or their family. With most religious US citizens being Christian, he doesn't want any member feeling a kinship through Jesus. *Editted to add... (and also corrected bad autocorrects)
....I really want to believe that was because of them being too stunned by the comment to keep recording, but I know that is merely what I hope for the sake of human decency, not a reflection of what's likely 😞
@@zinaj9437 I'd think that ethics cases could be brought against the attorney, since it's not like there wasn't a courtroom full of witnesses to the behavior including multiple officers of the court.
The "Threatening Black Man", no matter what he does or what is in his heart, is the thought in the back of racists' minds. For a group that loves to act tough and brandish weapons against some perceived threat, they sure do act like scared little babies.

As a black pastor who watches you regularly we aren’t props for show. We are however props for the people we serve. We prop up the people who need someone to lean on. We know that we will take shots. That’s why he’s there. To shield the family and protect them spiritually and otherwise.

I disagree. The defense lawyer is intimidated and thinks the jury is also. He is a racist and his worst nightmare is sitting in that courtroom, a successful, effective black man. That is what scares all racists is the thought that they will fight back and win. You go, Rev. Sharpton!
The lawyer is intimidated by the appearance of the rev sitting with the family of a victim of murder. Why else would he be there? It looks bad for the lawyer in the court of public opinion.
I agree completely! Rev is intimidating because of his reputation and the legitimacy he brings to the case. Maybe the defense is also physically afraid of black skin, but as to his comment it was nonspecific. Beau asked us what was intimidating about the Reverend... I asked myself what a right-sweeper would fear... they fear the Reverend Al Sharpton's notoriety.
I’ve always failed to understand the framing of this intimidation thing. Rather than suggest I’M intimidating, why don’t you ask yourself why YOU’RE intimidated. My existence does not make you a victim.

That's the truth. Imagine LeBron James trying to cheat in a one on one basketball game against you. It would never happen because he is a superior basketball player to all of us.

Back in 2018 my old youth pastor found me on Facebook. It came to light that he is a huge DT supporter. When I asked "how can you so deeply support the epitome of all 7 deadly sins?" He promptly blocked me. The cowards that are on the side of hate and racism, despite their "religious beliefs" are just that... cowards! They know they are on the side of disgusting hate and racism and don't care!!
It seems that the defense attorney wants as few black people in the courtroom as possible. Only one black juror and havping issue with the non disruptive presence of reverend Sharpton.
what, wait. no. rewatch. he mentioned al sharpton. then he went on to say that jesse jackson had ALSO been there! that's just as bad ; Rev. Jackson is in recovery from covid, and was NOT there. apparently all black folk look the same to that POS lawyer...

I used to be proud to be an American. Not so much these days. That doesn’t mean that I am giving up because I feel that I have a responsibility to stand up for my brothers & sisters of this great land and lift them up!! Praying for our freedom!!
This reminds me of an old lawyers' saying: When the facts are against you, hammer the law. When the law is against you, hammer the facts. When both are against you, hammer the table. It's all about getting the jury (or the general public) to 'feel' a certain way, because you can't win them over with facts and principles.
Beau, you are always so correct and so insightful. I am so very grateful you share your thoughts with us. Thank you so very much for covering this moment.
It is disturbing, after how many years, of the emancipation of the slaves, that racism still thrives, in todays day and age. Skin colour has nothing to be afraid of. With the exception being, the colour white.
@Seann S. "The colour white" is nothing to be afraid of: False Evidence Appearing Real. "Fear is the mind killer" and all that. The basis of "white" fear is that there is no longer any fear...and they will never get that particular "genie" back in the bottle.
Disturbing, but also inevitable. With the greatest of respect, you are overlooking a grievous mistake America has made. In every failed rebellion, it is standard policy to kill all the rebels and burn their land. The reason for doing this is to intimidate those guilty of treason into submission. When the Confederacy was defeated, our nation failed to kill them. As a direct result of this, Confederate agents have infiltrated our government and seized whole parts of it for themselves. Mercy toward racists is the direct source of this terrorism.

The reason the defense attorney feels imitated, is because he knows his clients are all guilty, that he himself is a racist & is upset that there too many high profile spectators, who could hold him accountable after trial on his unorthodox conduct as an attorney in this trial & for the lies he spewed to the jury about victim Ahmaud Arbery.
I think the lawyer, like a fair number of other assholes, thinks his clients are not only innocent, but did a service to their community. Just like they've elevated Kyle Rittenhouse to hero status.

Oh come off it. The lawyer commenting that he was black is sus, but it is 100% about Sharpton being a celebrity. It's not about his skin color, or his age, or whatever, it is that one team has a major national and political figure sitting in the courtroom right near the console table. That is intimidation, or at the very least, it creates a bias. The jury is supposed to base their decision on the facts of the case and that alone.

Sounds as if the attorney was playing for rascist. sympathy. That said, an intellectually limited person might view Al Sharpton as intellectually intimidating. But that's hardly a valid reason for excluding someone from the courtroom.
Precisely! And this is where I feel that Beau may have been inaccurate in attributing the "intimidation" to being a proximity threat, because it may well have been a fear of the legitimacy and notoriety that Rev brings to the support of prosecuting AA's murderers. Myself, I'm pissed that the defense's bigotry is so "acceptable" that he was bold enough to say it in front of national press. He's aware enough of perceptions, that it looks more like gaslighting. They're trying to bait our sense of injustice.
I don't think it's intimidation, I think its guilt inducing. The presence of a black pastor is a reminder of our racial past and present and gives context to the murders that the defence doenst want the jury to ponder.

Having trouble finding it now, though you can easily find that "Justitia" did not wear a blindfold until the 1500s.
That's over 3000 years that the idea of justice being blind was not considered.

I cried during this video, Beau. Your absolute wisdom on the beauty of what society is perceiving as stated ‘intimidating,’ is truthfully heartbreakingly tragic. “It’s fiction.. it’s made up..’ As it is. Perfection on your shirt, as well.
The family should get a bunch of black judges and black pastors to sit with them.
They did Rev Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Bishop Barber of the Poor People Campaign, and Martin Luther King III, Geoff called him MLK Jr by mistake.
Blatant racism. Great comments by the judge.
Out and out Racism. I am shocked and saddened by this awful backwards slide.
Blatant, but mostly still unrecognized racism.
I never get used to how freaking racist America is.
Like, that "intimidating" BS is something to be expected from the segregation times. It's damn 2021 now, and seems surreal to me that a developed country like America has still these hang-ups.
Yes, we DO have racist fucks in Western Europe too. We make sure most of them won't have the balls to be this bold nor reach positions of power though. The "intimidating" BS would get you REAL cancelled in France or Germany (as in, people would likely pelt you on street).

I sincerely hope white pastors from the area swarm the courthouse today just to prove that point.
Dogs don't whistle, they whine and growl. The two legged dogs growl menacingly to make up for their lick-spittal groveling to their superiors, who are not all painted orange and wearing polyester, made-in-China wigs, but are mostly depraved, money grubbing, self-anointed dregs of society.

Imagine how intimidated Ahmaud must have felt being hunted and trapped before they killed him.
This "defense" that Ahmaud went into a construction site is such total bullshit. He probably used the site as a rest spot on his runs, perhaps fantasizing about the house that would go there, whatever. It's actually very common for construction sites to be an object of meditation. But the fact that they are allowed to talk about his stops at the construction site as any kind of reason to hunt him down is just sickening. That would NEVER EVER happen to a person who is white.
@@victoriabaker4400 I totally agree. I personally find construction fascinating (probably because my dad built our house with his own two hands when I was a kid.). Even the owner said he didn't do anything, the neighbor who saw him go in and out said Ahmaud didn't do anything when he testified.
Frankly, I have slightly more hope that they will be convicted than Rittenhouse.
@@erykaton170 Exactly, the owner said he never went inside like other did, just looked on the outside. I cannot believe how the judge is just handing Rittenhouse either a not-guilty or a mistrial. It's infuriating and extremely worrisome, because that guy is the current poster boy for the organized white supremacists.
@@erykaton170 He should at least be charged for being a minor carrying an assault rifle over state lines.
I keep thinking that. Ahmaud must have been truly frightened by these men hunting him. What really bothers me is how the local prosecutor failed at his job to bring charges in a timely manner. If Ahmaud were white and three black men hunted him down. Well, you can bet there would have been zero delay. It’s mentally exhausting to live a life of slights, indignation, discrimination, disenfranchisement, economic disparity, etc…. Also knowing your children will have to deal with the same damn thing.

Bottom line: Defense attorney wants to make his case against Rev. Sharpton because he’s a polarizing figure (to some). It’s an easier case to make than justifying his client’s murderous acts.
Was gonna make this point till I saw you did it.
I would like to add that the reason the Reverend is polarizing is because he's well known for sitting with black families that had members murdered, especially if the following case is high profile. His presence sends a message, of support and solidarity to and about the black community. He is experienced and can help guide the family through the sometimes extra trauma the media adds. He can help prepare them to make statements, make statements for them, or simply take all focus off the family because he knows he's polarizing in order to shield them. Rev. Sharpton is polarizing because the idea of black solidarity scares bigots, and he doesn't want the jury to see the family receiving comfort because that humanizes the victim, Mr. Arbery, gives him a family that needs someone as well known as Rev. Sharpton to help them through the long complicated process of losing a loved one to what is either directly or indirectly the result of racism or at least perceived that way. And he does it peacefully, yet with every ounce of authority a passionate clergyman brings to his sermons.
The idea that the victim was a good and God fearing man like most of them likely feel they are is also likely not something he wants them thinking about. *Because he doesn't want them relating to a black victim or their family. With most religious US citizens being Christian, he doesn't want any member feeling a kinship through Jesus.
*Editted to add... (and also corrected bad autocorrects)

I disagree. The defense lawyer is intimidated and thinks the jury is also. He is a racist and his worst nightmare is sitting in that courtroom, a successful, effective black man. That is what scares all racists is the thought that they will fight back and win. You go, Rev. Sharpton!
The lawyer is intimidated by the appearance of the rev sitting with the family of a victim of murder. Why else would he be there? It looks bad for the lawyer in the court of public opinion.
I agree completely! Rev is intimidating because of his reputation and the legitimacy he brings to the case. Maybe the defense is also physically afraid of black skin, but as to his comment it was nonspecific. Beau asked us what was intimidating about the Reverend... I asked myself what a right-sweeper would fear... they fear the Reverend Al Sharpton's notoriety.

It has since been revealed that the defense attorney got his law degree from Trump University. Makes sense now.
Surely you're joking. Trump University was authorized to issue law degrees?
@@charleshuguley9903 Trump university wasn’t authorized to issue any degrees. That didn’t stop them from conning people out of their money
Right after that comment, every single black pastor; and white within a 500 mile radius should be enroute to that courtroom!
The spirit of the truth intimidates all that have souls of liars.
👏👏👏 YES
💯✊✊👍
Ever since the R party became the party of 45, it appears to have become a party of narcissists. And the narcissist lies about themselves, TO themselves. How can they possibly face a truth of any kind?
🕊️
@@dorksplorer Well, some law and order accountability would probably work wonders, to start...
so far, they haven't had to face or even question anything they've said and done...
YES 100%
I too was appalled with the statements of the defence attorney. I was awestruck at the racism!
You preaching the truth. Great way to present it as well. Not putting anyone down but educating people.
The reason the defense attorney feels imitated, is because he knows his clients are all guilty, that he himself is a racist & is upset that there too many high profile spectators, who could hold him accountable after trial on his unorthodox conduct as an attorney in this trial & for the lies he spewed to the jury about victim Ahmaud Arbery.
I think the lawyer, like a fair number of other assholes, thinks his clients are not only innocent, but did a service to their community. Just like they've elevated Kyle Rittenhouse to hero status. I was foolish enough to think that Obama's presidency was an indication that racism was diminishing. Here we are bathing in it. I'm wondering when it's going to be okay to wear white hoods in public again.
@@jamestragle9504 The way they are setting things up, they won't have to. The flag and the cross will become the new white hoods for them.
But open carry in a fast food joint is just normal. 👀
Along with Running up in the capital to hang the Vice President, while your buddy is outside Actually building gallows to hang him with.. is just a normal tour of the capital too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 th
The "intimidation" has nothing to do with him being "high profile" and everything to do with race...period. Black people often are seen as intimidating or as a threat, unfortunately. Man is man...no mater the race. It's people's character we should focus on. As an AA female, I appreciate folks like you who recognize this. Keep up the phenomenal work! Thanks for speaking on this.
@J Davis. Put another way: The "intimidation" has nothing to do with him being "high profile" and everything to do with white fragility & insecurity. Own the problem: It's yours.
(Not meaning yours, J Davis.)
Oh come off it. The lawyer commenting that he was black is sus, but it is 100% about Sharpton being a celebrity. It's not about his skin color, or his age, or whatever, it is that one team has a major national and political figure sitting in the courtroom right near the console table. That is intimidation, or at the very least, it creates a bias. The jury is supposed to base their decision on the facts of the case and that alone. Throwing a disapproving celebrity in the mix taints that. We want justice, not a case won by outside influence.
@@arkainin4638 Come off what? I made a statement that I believed to be true and then gave a compliment to the owner of this channel. What are you talking about? You could have just posted your comment and left that unnecessary cooment off. No need to be nasty...we are all entitled to our own opinion. I wasn't disrespectful or rude with mine and am curious why you felt compelled to be towards me... Hmmm. Either way, be blessed and enjoy your weekend, sir.
@@belladonnatook8851 I appreciate your comment! 😉
@@jdavis6694 Come off it is a saying, that's all it is. It's just an expression of disagreement mate. Not an insult or being nasty. Was not intended that way. I am sorry if it was taken as such.
They weren't intimated by his physical appearance but by his wisdom, intellect and spiritual presence. Like that grandparent that will get you straight with one long silent stare and a nod...I see you and you see me.
Wish we had more people like u to speak out and be fair…!!! Thanks for speaking up
Sounds as if the attorney was playing for rascist. sympathy. That said, an intellectually limited person might view Al Sharpton as intellectually intimidating. But that's hardly a valid reason for excluding someone from the courtroom.
Precisely! And this is where I feel that Beau may have been inaccurate in attributing the "intimidation" to being a proximity threat, because it may well have been a fear of the legitimacy and notoriety that Rev brings to the support of prosecuting AA's murderers.
Myself, I'm pissed that the defense's bigotry is so "acceptable" that he was bold enough to say it in front of national press. He's aware enough of perceptions, that it looks more like gaslighting. They're trying to bait our sense of injustice.
I don't think it's intimidation, I think its guilt inducing. The presence of a black pastor is a reminder of our racial past and present and gives context to the murders that the defence doenst want the jury to ponder.
Is it sort of like if it was MLK Jr. was in the room?
If you're on the wrong side of a civil rights issue i can see where you might find him intimidating
I am so thankful for your voice. Please keep speaking truth!
Do you know what is intimidating? Having a truckload of people with guns coming after you as you jog down the road! That is the definition of intimidation!:
His comments were bias, intimidating, and meant to influence the jury.
Intimidating for a black preacher = power ( because people listen to him)
Now we can’t have that can we? Urgh!! How sick.
They were going to make a citizens arrest for WHAT, exactly? What crime was committed?
Living while black.
In their eyes "they all look the same" to try and justify their insecurities over skin color!!
Misdemeanor trespassing, I suppose. Public execution seems a little on the harsh side.
@@rylian21 is entering a house under construction a trespass? We used to do it all the time as kids. No one cared at all that we were doing it. Oh yeah, I'm white, so it was okay. SMH
@Nomad01603 At minimum… all of the other white folks who had done the same thing in the same place were also “trespassing”, yet we’re able to leave the site alive and unharmed. And “what he was doing there” is none of their damn business; no one has to answer to another goddamn citizen for anything, they held absolutely NO authority over him…
@Nomad01603 that would be none of their business. Wasnt their property
Wow! Your thoughts and views on this was the best I have heard on this issue. Hats off to you.
This culture needs more people like you brother. Thank you.✊🏾
If I were a black person, I'd be first in line, along with all my black friends and family to sit in that courtroom. Every face that jury looks at would be a person of color 🤨
@Craig. But because you're not, you'll sit it out? Pffft. Some "ally".
@@belladonnatook8851 I'm pretty sure the point was more about normalizing the skin tone for people that may have isolated themselves from diversity out of ease and not about using white privilege to save the day. A good ally knows when to step back and not take up space best utilized by the people they are supporting.
The McMichael Case. Ahmed Arbery isn't supposed to be on trial, the men who killed him are. Except that isn't the case here...
He's very much on trial.
Thanks for the video, Beau. Both this and the Rittenhouse trials are dripping with racial bias. It makes me sick to my stomach.
You better speak it Beau, you always speak the truth. That's why I watch you.
You always speaks truth ,fairness , and your honest opinion on various matters. I admire your podcast news.
