"If Chauvin isn't convicted, CITIES WILL BURN."

[finnbow]

After the verdict was read, the murderous cocksucker's bail was revoked and he was led out of court in handcuffs. I'm in Minneapolis visiting my daughter and her family and it is an understatement to say that the city is relieved.

George Floyd's life was casually and brutally stolen for no good reason. My heart goes out to Mr. Floyd's family and friends. Kudos to the jury and the prosecution for standing tall finally.

Think I'll double up my contribution to the NAACP Defense Fund.

The old ways of policing and accountability are over it now seems.......


GOOD!

I tuned into Faux News*, AKA Bullshit Mountain, just to see what they were saying this evening. On the Ingraham Reich-Angle show, on that banner under the picture where they run their inflammatory shit was this:

LEFT CELEBRATES CHAUVIN TRIAL AS PROOF RIOTS WORK

Those bastards are beyond despicable.

GQP wins elections by stoking anger and resentment and Faux is quite happy to oblige. I don't think either Faux or their opinionators fan the flame because of their political ideology. They have a large loyal audience and Faux is simply running a money making racket by dumbing them down inciting conspiracies.

That said, I am quite relieved that Chauvin was convicted but this case will be appealed, especially since the judge left the door open because Maxine Waters felt compelled to imitate Trump. I also thought that president Biden's comment before the verdict this morning was uncalled for considering Chauvin's defense was flailing.

Excellent!

I've read that they were prepared to indict Chauvin with federal civil rights violations on the spot if he were acquitted in court.
