1 third green 1 third red, what a surprise! Why do the left love criminals so much?

[tiggerblue10]

I don't think it will. It hasn't happened here so far and I think the demonstrations/protests are exhausting themselves out.

[royfromaus]

To observe a minutes silence is to show your respect...I don't respect people like George Floyd.


Ridiculous idea.

[naomi24]

I have no respect for people like George Floyd either.

The latest is that George Floyd was, besides other health "issues", actually suffering with covid 19. So he could not be embalmed and have an open coffin and a procession of worshippers before his funeral. Correct me if I'm wrong but, he has gotta be the first person ever recorded who died whilst having the virus......and not be flagged up as a victim of it as the cause of death. Over here if you get run over and you are carrying the virus you become part of the exciting statistics of the pandemonium.

I don't love criminals. But criminals are human being too. And if they end up dead needlessly then the police are also committing a crime. That's the point.

[Deskdiary]

I think that's a very compelling point royfromaus.

jim: "I'm not going to sit here and defend Floyd as some kind of shining example of humanity." - great I assume also you won't be vandalising the memorial to the president that did the most to end slavery.

jim: "I don't love criminals. But criminals are human being too. And if they end up dead needlessly then the police are also committing a crime. That's the point. " - alright but this has been treated akin to the death of Princess Di!

[ToraToraTora]

weecalf: "Where did this gun thing holding people up,come from. who broke this first on Answer bank " - it's from the comprehensive CV of Mr Floyd's criminal past.

"Maybe once this happens things will start to calm down."

riots may but blacks will now scream racist even more than previous whenever they dont get what they seem to deem a right.
The media of all sorts will shoehorn blacks into every possible place they can, and be fawning and kow towing to them wherever possible.

no doubt councils will start naming streets and building after this criminal, just like they did with the terrorist mandela

as for a minutes silence..pfffft, i will make as much noise as possible.

Leftism strikes again.

That doesn't mean anything.
What point?
can you expand on it?

[tiggerblue10]

Blame Derek Chauvin for kicking off a different kind of pandemic.

[shoota]

I stood between a black lad and a bunch of inebriated right wing types.
I knelt on a pavement giving CPR to a black lad who had been stabbed.
You cannot know how angry that statement has made me feel.

[jim360]

If it were only about George Floyd then yes I would agree with you. But then, of course, it is not. Floyd's just another name to be added to the list of thousands of people who have died at the hands of police in the US -- even in just the last decade and it would be a brave person indeed to claim that in every single one of those cases the police was 100% justified. And even if you can find a justification in each case, which you can't, then the very fact that around 17,000 people have been killed by police in the US since 2009, and about 1500-2000 police dead in the same time period, speaks to a society that is seriously broken.

[ToraToraTora]

all black were they jim?

[jim360]

Disproportionately so.
