... Beginning last May, Minneapolis was the scene of riots in protest of George Floyd’s death, riots that destroyed 100 buildings and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage from fires and looting. By June of that year the area riots were the cause of two deaths and over $500 million in damage. The corporate media and (I’m sorry to say, universities and schools as well) harped on the death as yet more evidence of some nonsense called “systemic racism,” suggesting that the death was deliberate. In fact, none of the three charges against Chauvin indicated that he intentionally killed George Floyd.

Here are the charges:

* Second-degree unintentional murder means causing death without intent by committing a felony.
* Second-degree manslaughter is causing death by unreasonable risk.
* Third-degree murder means causing death by an “eminently dangerous” act, showing a “depraved mind.”

Press accounts bought the race baiters' claim of an “epidemic” of police shooting unarmed black males. Depending on your political inclinations, estimates of the numbers vary. Very liberal respondents to surveys said about 10,000 unarmed black males were killed by police, The actual figure for the 2019, last year in which I can find figures, was eleven.

One prospective juror during his interview said he was concerned about his safety and that of his family if he served on the jury. He was dismissed from the jury pool.

Imagine serving on the Chauvin trial jury and having serious doubts about one or more of the charges. Would you be willing to be the cause of a hung jury when you knew your name, address, your employer and even the school your kids attend would be leaked?

And many people today scoff at the hysteria and mania of the Salem Witch trials of long ago ...sneering that oh no, they never would have participated in those trials ... yeh ... right.

The more troubling thing is that the (s)elected government leaders are not speaking out that whatever the verdict would result, it needed to be done through the best system of justice in the world... the same system that will be used should any criminal decide that they will try to bring harm to anyone in volved in the case. But many of them are fearful themselves. Salem Witch trials are here today.
