yep...there it is...you go from a legal arrest to some bizarre, rambling tangent...yep, you got it bad. Remind me of my brother, he talked and argued himself into ticket after ticket.

Actually, it’s called an analogy, designed to flush out the danger of the state that was so championed.

It is written, that coping with the nuances of contradictory ideas or experiences is mentally stressful. It requires energy and effort to sit with those seemingly opposite things that all seem true. I get it. Indeed, Festinger argued that some people would inevitably resolve the dissonance by blindly believing whatever they wanted to believe.

It’s ok. Be well, FRiend.

Should be downgraded to manslaughter.

That implies he is responsible for George Floyd's death.

What is it that he did which killed George Floyd?

Won’t do any good. He is a Political Victim. His conviction was Political. not legal. In a legal Court he would be found not guilty. He was a victim of a Kangaroo Court Lynching. There was nothing just or legal in his trial. But that is where we are as a Nation today. Think it is funny? Wait until it happens to you. And it will eventually. Just give it time.

And the exact same thing happened to the McMichaels in Georgia.

He used excessive force.

What was the excessive force? Did he bludgeon him with his flashlight or something?

His conviction was Political. not legal.

It seems that this is what has become of a once blind justice system, case in point, the use of lawfare to go after Trump. This basically makes our justice system a JOKE.

Hmmm. Wisconsin might not have a suitable crime below Murder 3 or “Second Degree Intentional Homicide”.

Floyd killed himself when he swallowed the Fentanyl drug he was selling to others. He did not care if they died.

Candice Owens reports that the family did not even clean out Floyds home since they never a family that lived together. They were only interested in the money!

Here is George Floyds drug results. No injuries. It was the drugs that HE SWALLOWED that killed him. He was selling the drug to others.
How many people had he killed with the drugs he sold?

Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL
Methamphetarnine 19 ng/mL
11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL;
Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL
Cotinine positive
Caffeine positive
Blood volatiles: negative for ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, or acetone
Urine drug screen: presumptive positive for cannabinoids, amphetamines, and fentanyl/metabolite
Urine drug screen confirmation: morphine (free) 86 ng/mL

He had Fentanyl 11 mg/mL in his body. 3mg is lethal.

The guy should be released. He was set up. He was a patsy. Completely unjust in my eyes.

Yes— to include scrutiny of the LAB values of this addict’s blood stream... overdosed already on fentanyl, and thus “couldn’t breathe” as the stuff “hit”.nobody sat on his chest. but a national hero to the druggie cult world and their dealers... even in the US Senate.

I’m just glad that there is an attorney willing to risk their career to represent him in this appeal.

Will SCOTUS be willing to risk their’s to do what is right and overturn his conviction? This was a conviction by mob rule and should have already been overturned by a lower court. Heck, he should have never been convicted in the first place. Floyd was staying “I can’t breathe” before Chauvin ever restrained him. His cause of death was drug overdose. The crowd around them had more to do with his death than the cops arresting him did. For they delayed the paramedics from attending him as quickly as possible.

So many errors in the trial and conviction. As I said, it was a conviction by mob and media.
