Chauvin Verdict In

[FlightlessDuck]

NPR carried it live while I was coming home from dropping my son off at work. I balled my eyes out

I am glad justice was served today. I'll be honest, I didn't have hope the justice system would do the right thing and I am so happy to be wrong.

We all have to continue to push for change so things like this stop happening.

Justice was served but trout mouth Maxine has made it possible for this to end up in appeals. Also while I don't relish the death of anyone but I am sick of this he was a hero nonsense. He was a convicted felon who once pistol whipped a pregnant woman. He was one of the many victims of murder we have daily in this country except he got a horse drawn carriage and a star studded funeral during a pandemic when others were not allowed to have ceremonies for their family members. Also if you read more on this case you would see this had nothing to do with him being a black man and everything to do with criminal activity that he and Chauvin were both involved in! Of course I am sure this will be reported and not a popular opinion but facts are facts!

None of that means he deserved to lose his life that day.

Some of us watched the trial. We know what it was about.

You should really check your “facts”.

Absolutely didn’t say that he did deserved to lose his life. In fact I agree with the verdict and that’s the first thing that I stated ! What I don’t agree with is this hero status he has been given. I hope politicians and Hollywood take the same interest in the poor little girl shot and killed in Chicago at McDonald's yesterday as they did this felon who was still involved in illegal activity.

NOTHING you posted justifies Floyd being MURDERED by that monster.

And I never once said he should have been murdered! Go back and reread it will do you some good!

Actually, you agree with the VERDICT. No sentence has been handed down. Facts are facts.

 

[sailorstitch]

Yes because more violence and death is the answer and the fact that you just assume a large black man would retaliate is racist disgusting garage.

Did I say anything about violence? Maybe if he spent some time with a black man, he would learn something.

 

[OKW8297]

Good

 

[Jennasis]

I am quite relieved to see the verdict. My worry is that the judge will go light on sentencing.

 

[disneyjunkie]

Nevermind

 

[lilypgirl]

F

Yeah whatever you knew what I meant .

Then what was the point of posting what you did?

I truly thought I would be beaming with joy after hearing the verdict. Instead, I cried. Sad that George Floyd died for no reason that day. (True, he wasn't squeaky clean but he didn't deserve the death penalty.) Sad that those witnesses still feel guilty for something they had absolutely no control over. Sad that we had to watch this man be murdered. Sad that someone had so much hate in his heart he threw his own life away because of it. No winners. This is a start, but we have a long way to go.

One legal question I have for any experts out there concerns the charges. For some reason I thought prosecutors would charge someone with what they expected to be able to prove and used to select say murder over manslaughter if they thought that is what they could prove. Now here there was murder 2, murder 3 and manslaughter 2.

So could prosecutors always choose to file multiple charges like that if they felt the jury would convict on all? They just usually do not?

I’m an outsider, being a Canadian, but I still got choked up when he was put in handcuffs.

You didn't say anything about violence, but I sure as hell will. I hope those inmates give him pure hell each and every day. I wonder if someone's knee will end up on his neck for 9 minutes and 48 seconds. You reap what you sow.

If that’s really the case the winkie face would have been unnecessary.
