Yes, both are extremist movements. One (BLM) doesn't want black people to be murdered in the streets, while the other (KKK) want to murder black people in the streets. What is wrong with you?
No, BLM wants to spread lies about society, burn down cities, murder people, and loot, and swindle your own movement out of millions of dollars.
Chauvin's prosecution was political.
There's no doubt in my mind that Chauvin is a grade-A cunt, even as cops go. But Floyd was a thug and he died of a fentanyl overdose.
Making claims to the contrary is a pretty good indicator of ones media diet...
Funny you say that, the "OD killed George Floyd" theory was floated by "No reasonable viewer takes him seriously" Tucker Carlson.
Of course your right, two medical examiners are wrong. He was just about to drop dead from the "overdose levels" of drugs in his system before that cop knelt on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes. George Floyd was no saint, but that doesn't make his death any less of a murder.
OK, so Chauvin knew Floyd was having breathing difficulty and still decided to kneel on his neck well after he became motionless, well after he was handcuffed and prone. What is your argument here?
