one of them he was referring to was our colleague reverend al sharpton. he called them and other advocates for the family a literal mob. i was surprised that he used the term. he said his client was being lynched. i thought that was some choice language. this happened outside the presence of the jury. they may be hearing those words for the first time after rendering their verdict. what do you think of that strategy, and do you think the social justice movements of the last year and a half triggered,t in part, by ahmaud arbery's death, do you think that they have actually changed the justice system, that they've brought ath new consciousness t juries? >> i don't know that it's gone that far. f i think it has raised the awareness of the issues. but, again, those are just examples of how the racial undertones and possibly the thoughts of the defendants were then carried on by their defense counsel.f to be able to label and try to exclude only black pastors when so many pastors were absolutely disgusted by these facts. that, again, is the racial undertones.

you see the reverend al sharpton kind of taking a victory march. was there in your assessment any chance at all the self-defense claim? >> i never thought there was much of a chance but something happened that we couldn't see clearly. in the front of the pickup truck. i always wondered is the jury going to have some question about it. the prosecutor did a really good job flipping the argument and saying the reason that ahmaud arbery turned and went toward the defendant was because he felt that was the thing he could do to defend himself from these aggressors. the prosecution did a very good job by think explaining that part of the argument to the jury and in the end, we saw that the jury believe that and the jury found him not guilty. the judge has to determine whether it is life without parole. >> first and foremost, we are going to start by thanking god for shining on us. let this thank these lawyers. let us thank the activists that y'all called the mob that march 10 stood up. let us thank all the people that believed and let us more than anythin

last week he was bothered by reverend al sharpton.ying to accomplish here because even the judge, you know, took him to task, saying, you know, what are you doing here? it looks like you have ulterior motives. >> yeah, don. this judge has been incredibly patient with this argument. i'm very surprised. i've been in front of this judge before. he's known as a patient judge, a fair judge. but this motion has absolutely no legal merit to it. you cannot prevent someone from coming into a public courtroom if they're not making a disruption. now, it would be different if reverend jackson came in there and decided to make a speech or interrupt the witnesses or call out somebody's name, but that's not happened at all. he simply sat with the family just like reverend sharpton, and they are absolutely allowed to do that. so the idea that the judge is going to bar black pastors from the courtroom, it's ridiculous. so i don't understand the point of making that motion, and of course it's going to have the opposite effect because pastors are alread

let's listen to what msnbc's reverend al sharpton said yesterday. >> now we're being told that someone can cross state lines with a semiautomatic rifle and kill people and say it's self-defense and they have this case to cite as saying that i'm like rittenhouse. let's remember, rittenhouse is now being offered internships by members of congress, like he's some hero. >> charles, do you think he's right, and could we see future examples of so called vigilante justice? >> good morning, lindsey, i do think that there is a concern about how this plays out with regard to future periods of racial unrest in the united states. i think we have to be honest about the fact that we are not done with the type of protests that led to kyle riten house being where he was that night in kenosha, wisconsin, on august 25th. and i think that we have to consider how we unpack the rittenhouse verdict has serious implications. reverend al is correct, this could set a precedent that enables, if not emboldens people, to begin to come to protests because they do not like protesters, or they do not like the reason
