But that's as far as my empathy goes.
If it wasn't him, it would have been someone exactly like him.
Das Narrative Uber Alles
Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing his life for justice.” He did no such thing. He never intended to do anything of the sort. He was a repeat criminal, and drug user. He wasn’t even aware that the Leftists hypocrites cared whether he had ever lived. The Leftists only cared that he died.
Floyd’s death was convenient to their purposes, as it gave them the necessary “cause de jour” to begin their attack on America in earnest. They needed a face and a name to exploit. They got that, but they never and still do not give the least of a damn about his life.
Nothing about this entire affair is just, or even logical. To cynically distort and use the man’s image and myth as a poster child for the imposition of “revenge racism” and “the New Fascism”, was their only intention. We see that reinforced today with the abhorrent call to chaos and violence screeched out by Maxine Waters. Fraud, hatred and vitriol do not constitute a heartfelt tribute or memorial.
The only real sacrifice by anyone in all of this is that of the remaining life of Officer Chauvin. His freedom and future were sacrificed on the altar of Leftist Ideological Terrorism. He was sacrificed for “Peace”. So that we might not have to endure another “Summer of Love”.
We are all supposed to feel the guilt of the racism that is supposed to be ingrained in the White Race. But not the “Woke Whites”. They make up the majority of the BLM organization, and nearly all of the terrorist cadre ANTIFA. This is not racism in any real sense. It is the hypocrisy of Anti-American envy, hatred, and juvenile vindictiveness. This is what is ingrained in the fevered minds of the Left.
Had it been a fair trial, then this would not be true. The trial was not fair, unless you consider death threats, jury tampering, coercion, and fear mongering fair. This negates any validity to the non-thinking thinking, that this in any way represents “a step towards justice”. What it actually is is a “giant leap towards the Abyss”. To not realize this, is to not realize how far we have already fallen.
You have multiple areas of Empathy I cannot find in myself.
God gave him brain cells & he made a long list of lifetime bad choices.
Those of us who played by the rules are tired of paying the price for other’s bad decisions.
