It appears the resolution of the George Floyd Site at 38th and Chicago will be resolved at some point with the installation of a traffic circle incorporating the Giant Fist Sculpture, which should appease those with legitimate concerns over the site's future.

There will however be additional tributes to George Floyd throughout the region, including name changes (Lindbergh to George Floyd Terminal would be a good one) and statues that will forever link George Floyd and Minneapolis as closely as Pillsbury and Prince already do.

One idea proposed is to have a giant George Floyd Head installed at the International Airport so that travelers passing through on the way to somewhere else will be reminded of the link between this area and George Floyd.

Give me a break. A common criminal - you all need to get a grip.

I remember when people who invented something or achieved something great were memorialized with statues ect. Now they pull them down and replace them with what?

That head would be much better suited at a place like on the sidewalk in front of the Kaffe Stuga Cafe up in Harris, MN.

At least one person could then admire such a creepy spectacle on a routine basis.

Right, but this one read the fine print and met all the #BLM terms and conditions. There's tens of thousands of bullet-ridden and fentanyl-infused george floyd corpses turning up in the streets every year but no one even bats and eyelash because terms and conditions were not met. Get it done right and you too can be a honorable #BLMascot!

Given that statues have now become psychological triggers this is a bad idea.

Plus, it's creepy looking.

Face it...Floyd's family made mega millions of a profit out of a defective human product. But their success is difficult to replicate because it took a criminal and an ill-trained/-mannered cop to erect a falling subhuman as a national hero to be adored and memorized by tens of millions...I feel bad for the cop who was part of the process but he got nothing but decades of life behind the bars after enabling a criminal to becoming a famous figure that will likely be written in human rights textbook.

Nowhere. He was not a model citizen. Sorry that he was killed, but he is no martyr.


You want to know where the phrase "Fake News" comes from? It comes from all the so-called news outlets all stating there is some place called "George Floyd Square" in MN. Well, there is no such place called "George Floyd Square" - it is literally how/why the phrase "Fake News" was coined.
