Black Nationalism at the very least.

You know, the kind of leftist positioning that demands that "we want to live in a segregated society, but others need to pay for it".

16% wanted justice before any changes

3% wanted it restored back to normal
685 people in the poll seemed to be activists mostly.

That area of the city needs to be opened up, and let the actual residents (not the activist interlopers) get back to normal.

38th and Chicago is not "sacred ground". Cut the stupid fist up and sell it as scrap metal.

How does it make you feel to disparage a dead guy? Pretty good I bet.

Be honest. If you had a disabled sibling or an infant, would you have let someone like George Floyd take care of them?



I don't think anyone believes he deserved to die (okay, maybe there are a FEW people out there, but I am not one of them), but this narrative that we are all supposed to play along with is just not something I personally feel like I should have to do.

Dead violent criminal and fentanyl peddler? I mean, if black lives really do matter he saved quite a few by ODing on his own stash.

But it might not matter...the wokes are likely going to be steaming no matter what, lest Chauvin got his head put through a guillotine.
Though I agree with you that Chauvin "could have done more" etc etc and totally agree that Floyd should have been alive today.. in a tough situation.. I heard it is a "mostly white" jury.

He may go free.

A message to everyone, regardless of where you are on the political spectrum. Please have faith in the court system and accept the jury’s verdict. If you need to, take 90 minutes of your time and watch the movie “12 Angry Men.”
