… Floyd “was a big man, he was too big for this earth,” his former girlfriend of three years, Courteney Ross, told reporters shortly before the verdict was read. “He is all over us right now.”
Asked how he likely would have felt about the verdict, Ross said Floyd would argue that “now is a time for us to come together.” […]
Standing at six foot four inches (1.93 meters), Floyd was known to friends and family as a “gentle giant,” a rapper and athlete who suffered runs-in with the law and addiction but who wanted the best for his children.
His mother, for whom he cried out when he was dying, moved to Houston shortly after he was born in 1973 in North Carolina.
He grew up in the Third Ward, a poor and predominantly African-American neighborhood in central Houston. “We didn’t have a whole lot, but we always had each other,” his cousin Shareeduh Tate said during a memorial gathering last year in Minneapolis.
At Jake Yates High School, he played the role of big brother to a lot of the local boys. “He was teaching us how to be a man because he was in the world already before us,” his younger brother Philonise, who testified last week at the trial, said at the 2020 memorial.
George Floyd stood out on the football field and excelled at basketball, playing the latter sport when he went to college. “He was a monster on the court,” said Philonise. “But in life, in general, talking to people, a gentle giant.” …

OFFS! 😕🐂💩. Freakin’ bizarro world!
“He gently pointed the gun at the pregnant woman’s belly”
Has Bergoglio made him a Saint yet?
St. George bump.
He was turning his life around, well, except for the counterfeit money and the fentanyl...
“He was teaching us how to be a man because he was in the world already before us.”
Yeah, what a horrible man Saint George Thug Floyd truly was!
If only he would have become a rapper.
He raps in heaven now. Sniff.
Floyd was the sockpuppet the Democrats and the Deep State needed to trigger the mostly peaceful riots and insurrections against President Trump.
If it hadn't been him, another would have been chosen for The Narrative.
He's like the opposite of Emmanuel Goldstein in 1984 - George Puppetstein, hero of The State.
“He was going to make a pot for me.”
Here is my theory about the whole trial. I believe that the judge KNEW that the charges against Chauvin were bogus and he did everything he could to signal this to the defense. He made OBVIOUSLY bad decisions like not sequestering the jury and not moving the trial out of Mineapolis ON POURPOSE to give the defense ammunition on appeal. I think he knew there was no way Chauvin would be aquitted even though he knew the charges were not supported by the facts and he even signaled it to the defense by trashing Maxine Waters. He was saying APPEAL and I am helping you because no way the jury won’t convict. I think the Judge intentionally conducted a very bad trial.
I see French state-run media is still using the old-style propaganda forms
Wait I thought the guy in Ferguson was the gentle giant.
Wait. What? Are they actually comparing him to Christ?
They all look alike.
Funny how no one brings him up nowadays
BLM, a complicit Media and the Dem Party making Heroes out of Zeroes.
