Chauvin Trial Outcome

[Schmoe1]

We'll soon see just how blind lady justice is.  I'm sure Chauvin is a world-class douche, he's had many complaints against him, his wife divorced him the second he got arrested, but I don't believe he killed George Floyd.

I believe he did kill Floyd, and that he did it intentionally. With that said, I also believe the entire nation has paid the price for him for the last year, and Chauvin should have walked free due to that. Floyd's life was not worth the billions in damages and decent lives lost that it has been used as an excuse to create.

It sets a bad precedent to give in to the demands of terrorists.

This is all my opinion obviously, but I think Floyd knew what he was facing.  A prior felon, with fentanyl and counterfeit bills, was facing a stretch in the state penitentiary.  I think he swallowed all the fentanyl he had, maybe to avoid the felony amount charge, and OD'd right there on the sidewalk.  I believe I read he had a seizure while on the ground?

That being said, those cops were pussies.  Three of them couldn't get one person into the back of a cop car?  Sure he was a big guy, but this isn't exactly Gregor Clegane we're talking about. 

I see what you're saying about him walking over the damages inflicted in the wake of all this, but that sets a bad precedent too.  I think police should have been WAY harsher on those looters and rioters.
