George Floyd was a thug who died of a drug overdose.

Other cops knelt on shoulders. Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck. You can see it right there in the photo.

Thanks to Derek Chauvin, George Floyd is 5 years sober!

Some Computer Whiz would make a ton of cash, designing an online game, allowing the customer to take a virtual p**s on
George Floyd’s government purchased gravestone.
Figure out how to monetize that, and you’re set until you get cancelled. Use different spelling of names and places.

I will remember Ashley Babbit and how Democrats murdered her at the Capitol.

I remember being in a bookstore a few years back and seeing a book named “Remembering Slavery”. it’s impossible to remember slavery because all slaves and slaveholders are gone.

The purpose of the book, and of the George Floyd celebrations is to fan the flames of racial hatred and justify demands for more handouts.

When I read that there was a George Floyd square in Minneapolis where there would be a festival, I had a mental image of a crowd of thugs and other drug users walking among decorated booths, checking out and buying whatever drug(s) the dealers there were selling...

I also don’t remember that “Chauvin, a white police officer, stood on his neck for more than nine minutes.” That is a lie-and just as ridiculous and disgusting as the rest of the crap making a saint out of a drug user and dealer who was also a thief, and manhandled and threatened a pregnant woman. I wish someone would tear down, paint over, etc every sign, mural, etc that glorifies that criminal-that is a slap in the face to all US LEOs...

Fox News covered this story this afternoon, too. According to Fox, Floyd’s death triggered “protests”. No mention of looting, arson, vandalism, assault, battery or any other part of 2020’s progressive crime wave, just “protest”, seemingly peaceful from what was mentioned in the report.

Good Lord! The BBC is running this crap? We do not have a special holiday for drug addicts. We do not remember and have a memorial for this jerk who caused his own death and tore this country apart. But apparently the BBC can’t find enough crap in their own country on which to report. Losers and grifters and liars… All of them

“Americans across the country are remembering George Floyd five years after he was killed by police”. BBC, this American ain’t.

Who gives a fk? Criminals must be stamped out. The Left CANNOT be given grounds to riot and seize power.

Therefore it is irrelevant if Chauvin was right or wrong and if Floyd’s rights were violated. He was a two-bit petty thug and it’s irrelevant. His death means nothing. What’s important is that 1) the left be violently destroyed and 2) crime is stamped out even if criminal’s rights are violated.

We are under no obligation to respect the enemy’s rights. The left and the criminals must be handled by any means necessary. Let us adopt their slogans and methods.

Freedom and rights are for the Right only, not the leftists. They do not believe in individual rights and freedoms in the first place and THEREFORE CANNOT HAVE ANY.

This is America. Obviously, we do not advocate a cop being the judge, jury, and executioner.
