    why is George Floyd being glorified? He did multiple stints in prison for drugs, theft, robbery, and home invasion. His most egregious act was when he committed a home invasion robbery in Texas where he terrorized a pregnant woman by forcing her to the ground and pointing a gun at her pregnant stomach and then stealing her wallet and cell phone. He served 5 years in prison for that violent crime. On the day he died, he tried to pass a counterfeit bill, was high on meth and fentinol, and a bag of drugs was found on him.
    Did he deserve to die? Of course not. But in no way should he be glorified. Lets ask that home invasion victim if he should be glorified.

    Because Black Lives Matter. Or so we are told. But don't bother looking up the time Floyd did a home invasion on a black, pregnant woman and held a gun to her belly while his friends robbed the house, because that would be rayciss.

    Because of his skin color. If he were to be white, or even brown, then nothing happens.

    Blacks are not actually oppressed in this country, but the white leftists and propaganda made everyone believed that blacks are being oppressed.

  8. I think you can point out he robbed 100 people and spent his whole life in prison or that he was an alter boy with straight As and sitting on an acceptance to Stanford Law....

    The only thing that matters is that he was murdered.

    As I said before, I been watching the media pretty consistently and no one is pushing a regular narrative that he was a saint, hero or martyr. Who cares what some fringe person posts on their twitter feed or facebook.

    A criminal deserves to be arrested for their crime, but no such criminal or saint deserves to be murdered by police in such a manner or is it legal for that to happen.

    Trying to show George was a less than stellar human being is simply trying to deflect the story away from the police officer as though he did society a favor killing him. His past is irrelevant for a cop kneeing his neck for 8 minutes when he is in handcuffs because the Cop had no idea about his past history at the moment.

    Where on CNN do you see the reports regularly saying George was a saint or hero to be praised? The man did not spark this movement...the way he was killed did and no crime he actually committed warranted that.

    Right, there is no effort at all to glorify George Floyd.

    We all know the man was murdered. Four cops are going away for it. As they should.

    Trump defrauded charities for kids with cancer, ran a fake university he paid millions in fines for and has robbed and screwed people all the time including his own family. You elected him as your leader and wash his balls every chance you get, So STFU about standards you hypocritical POS.
