Forget Dead Soldiers: On Memorial Day, NYT Print Edition Commemorates … George Floyd?
NewsBusters ^ | 5/27/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 05/27/2025 10:39:10 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The brazen anti-Americanism replete within The New York Times has become so in-your-face you can smell it like someone with a halitosis condition yawning within a few centimeters of your nose at a bus stop. How the trash newspaper tried to give new meaning to the idea of Memorial Day in its print edition is no exception.

The May 26 print edition of The Times featured no mention of Memorial Day or the numerous U.S. service men and women who died in the armed forces at all on its front page. In fact, one of the top so-called stories it chose to feature instead was instead teaming with anti-police, race-hustling agitprop: “Rise in Killings By Police Dims Floyd’s Legacy.”

Yes, this allegedly prestigious paper actually chose to elevate the memory of a violent convict charged with numerous drug and theft offenses to attack the police writ large rather than honoring the memories of dead soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country. One of Floyd’s most egregious crimes involved an aggravated robbery incident where he pressed a pistol against a woman’s abdomen while searching for items to steal in her apartment.

Printed NY Times can be used for outhouse toilet paper and for lining birdcages on the bottom. Also placed on the kitchen floor for training puppies.

Don’t try reading the words on the pages, though. Worthless.

I saw Floyd Square. Absolutely disgusting. They’re not celebrating his life, they’re celebrating “got the cop”...who has suffered unbelievable harm while incarcerated. He should have never been in jail...but the cowards were afraid of a riot...no other reason for the conviction.

George Floyd was a violent career criminal who died of drugs!

Honor our brave American servicemen, and say phooey to George Floyd and all who support him!

Just repeating the Slimes’ history...

The Slimes loved Hitler and Stalin too...

Nothing has changed. If you are a Marxist, the Slimes supports you...

“I saw Floyd Square.”

I’ve had the misfortune of driving thru there at least twice in the last few years.

IT IS A PIT!

Any legitimate businesses have been forced to close. It is a true high crime area where the police don’t venture unless they absolutely have to.

It’s somewhat safer in the day to visit. That’s often the time when white ELCA liberals show up to tend the garden there and worship at the shrine of their martyr.

The Minneapolis City Council is truly out to lunch Leftist - but even a majority of them realize that things can’t keep going as they have been. But it’s the “community activists” who prevent any reform or cleanup from happening.

The New York Times another source of the fuel for feeding the flames of the feral pro democrat chaos pimps for the readjustment of American values.
