The George Floyd Bullshit

If you pull out a gun and shoot your neighbor in the head and a medical examiner later rules that the neighbor had a massive heart attack, does that mean you skate free?

 

That’s the argument being put forth by Derek Chauvin’s attorneys. According to testimony, George Floyd would have died anyway due to his use of Fentanyl and coke.  Therefore, Chauvin is not guilty, they insist. 

 

The plain simple fact of the matter is this: Floyd was gasping for air, screaming that he could not breathe.  Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck until Floyd died, although bystanders were screaming for him to stop.  Whether or not Floyd would have died anyway is really anyone’s guess.    

 

Now, I’m not enamored with George Floyd or his ilk. His past criminal history speaks for itself. But what Chauvin did was cold-blooded murder, and he needs to pay the penalty for it, just as surely as the Antifa and BLM thugs who destroy property and lives need to pay for their misdeeds.    

 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
