Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal Push Back On Narratives In Breonna Taylor Case
The Daily Wire ^ | 9/24/2020 | Daily Wire News

Former NBA stars Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal pushed back on a lot of the outrage that racial activists have been fomenting in recent days over the death of Breonna Taylor, noting that the case, while tragic, did not belong in the same category as the death of George Floyd.

“It’s bad the young lady lost her life, but, you know, we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop,” Barkley said. “So, like I said, even though I’m really sorry she lost her life, I don’t think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation with George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, I just don’t believe that.”

I feel the same sympathy for Breonna that I would for her had she drank too much, drove fast and accidentally hit a tree. I would be sympathetic, but not blame the booze, car or tree.

She made stupid decisions. She had one drug dealer boyfriend that the police were after, enough to have her apartment and name on the warrant. Then she moved onto another loser who shot at the police, AFTER they had identified themselves. The police are no more guilty than the alcohol, fast car and tree.

Where are the details about the DEAD BODY found in Taylor’s rental car???

I am willing to bet that there isn’t one single follower of FR that has EVER had a dead body in the trunk of any of their vehicles.

Charles and Shaq are old enough that they were not fully propagandized during their formative years, and didn’t learn that TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH!
