He transitioned?

I thought that meant something else altogether.

I understand that language evolves. But this is just nuts. He transitioned from being alive to being dead.

Yes. I thought that was an unusual use of the word ‘transitioned’ also.

Hospice uses the term transitioning.

Young healthy men drop dead every day, nothing to see, pretty normal since the jab came out...

Not clear that he dropped dead per se’ - he was very young.

It’s actually an appropriate use of it prior to the Left co-opting the word to define “hacking apart the genitalia of a mentally ill man or woman” along with impressionable children who have been conditioned and groomed by mentally ill adults.

We are going to have to reclaim our language someday.

Transition surgery killed him?

I assumed it was the vaxx.

Drugs likely had nothing to do with it..

A Gainesville police officer stopped [Powell] for a lane violation in 2014 – just a few months after he had been drafted by the New Orleans Saints. The officer noted that the address on his driver’s license was a known drug house. A canine officer came to the scene and flagged a likely presence of narcotics in the car, and the investigating officer searched it, finding a white powdery substance on the driver’s seat that she tested on site. “You have cocaine in your car alright,” the officer said on the video during the traffic stop. “There’s reasons why I asked the questions I asked. You can’t answer questions straight. There’s more in there, so I can easily charge you. But you’re not in handcuffs OK, so just chill out.”

Ronald Powell avoided cocaine arrest

He was assigned “alive” at birth.

Then he transitioned.

Didn’t read the whole article but if he was guilty of the cocaine possession it would have been high risk behavior on his part... it was after the NFL started mandatory drug testing.

“He was assigned “alive” at birth.
Then he transitioned.”

CORRECTION

He was assigned “alive” at CONCEPTION.

Then he transitioned AS HE WAS BORN.

Suddenly and unexpected.

I looked it up...he was not in the NFL or other organization that required the jab.

Odds are it was not the vaccine.

He was injured but never really came back from it (torn ACL).

RIP
