How did I miss the third anniversary of George Floyd's death? Were the media caught sleeping? Three years ago, Floyd was given funerals in three states, carried in a gold casket and driven to his final resting place in a horse-drawn carriage. It was like the funeral for a pharaoh.
From Floyd's death on May 25, 2020, to the end of the year, The New York Times alone ran more than 4,000 articles about him. But exactly three years later, Floyd's name made it into only three Times items -- fleetingly and barely.
Are the media (and Democrats, and Hollywood, and corporate America, and the universities and grade schools, and hospitals and military and President Biden) hoping we'll forget about their weird campaign to make black Americans even angrier?
Since May 25, 2020, the single-minded message delivered to black people, without interruption or contradiction, has been that they live in a country steeped in white supremacy, anything bad that happens to them is proof of racism, and oh by the way, the police are trying to kill them.
The You Are a Victim! message is unlikely to produce stellar behavior in anyone. Directed at a group that already had a pretty high rate of criminal offending, it nearly destroyed our country.
By the end of 2020, the national homicide rate had shot up an unprecedented 30% and has continued to climb since then.

It’s sickening how the lefties lionized George Floyd! He was no saint, he was a criminal!
In fact, as Mac Donald has been documenting for years, police are 400 times as likely to be killed by a black person as unarmed blacks are to be killed by cops.

(What I admire most about third-world immigrants is their realization that their ancestors were people utterly incapable of building a functioning society, and therefore, if they happened to find themselves in a successful country, like the U.S., they should shut up, listen and learn.)
LOL! Good one.
True.

This explains why they didn’t have room for one about the brutality and withholding of rights to an attorney and phone access for the Jan.6th prisoners held without charges, often in long term solitary confinement. No room for such articles.
“It is more than just inept and bureaucratic shuffling of papers,” U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said.
“I find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abridged. I don’t know if it’s because he is a Jan. 6 defendant or not, but I find that this matter should be referred to the attorney general of the United States ... for a civil rights investigation.”

excerpt:Roughly 40 suspects are now in jail in D.C. awaiting trial for charges stemming from that day, and their lawyers say their rights are being denied. Some, they say, have been denied access to food and showers....
The truth was all in the autopsy report, but the media and the pols were not interested in the true facts.
“In 2007, Floyd faced charges for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon; according to investigators, he had entered an apartment by impersonating a water department worker and barging in with five other men, then held a pistol to a woman’s stomach and searched for items to steal.”
Pregnant woman.
George Floyd is 3 years clean and sober
I knew he could do it.
St. George of Fentanyl: Funeral Fit for a Pharoah.
Didn’t George Floyd die because he swallowed fentanyl? And didn’t he swallow fentanyl because he didn’t want the police to know he had it? George Floyd was a dead man walking for a time.
The left is a dangerous bunch. They’ve decimated whole swaths of our country since the 60s.
“The truth was all in the autopsy report, but the media and the pols were not interested in the true facts.”
Yep. Autopsy report...pulmonary edema caused by a fentanyl O.D. No neck damage.
We are now living in a Pravda controlled nation.
Whatever advances The Revolution.
George Floyd brought this all on himself...it was he who began the confrontation with police by trying to pass counterfeit money.
Yup, and hasn’t committed a single parole violation in all that time!
I figure that's the main reason why they lionize the scum-bum. He was a criminal!
Birds of a feather, and all that stuff....
Even in Europe I saw murals dedicated to George Floyd.
t”...his matter should be referred to the attorney general of the United States...”
He’s a white equivalent of a black hole for these matters.
