Why are there so many riots over this felon George Floyd, fresh out of jail for putting a woman under gunpoint in her own home? Is he worth it?
If Floyd had done that to the mother of those out in the streets doing all the protests, I wonder if they would still protest????
@vnarek We don't have all the facts of the case. The police may have had a legitimate reason for what they did... but the cop was arrested anyway, from what I know.
But as far as George Floyd, I have no sympathies for him, and he is for sure not worth all the craziness that's going on in the US right now.
Had he a clean record, that would be something else.
And I don't care if he did put in the time. He traumatized that woman. Did he have any intentions of doing reparations to her, if he truly was "turning a new leaf?"
Some beat me up about NAP. But NAP is a damned good principle I wish all would follow.
@lordalveric Did you see the video? He was unarmed and died of suffocation when he was lying on the ground.
Why does the record matter if someone is unjustly killed? Additionally, this is not the first time something like that has happened. This demonstration/riot is against police brutality in general led by his name. Do you think that this cause is not worth it?
And I don't care if he was on duty. He killed that man and police must be accountable for their actions. Btw, police are a prime example of non-aggression principle violators.
@lordalveric Yes he is. He was choked to death for a non-violent crime by the police. Getting out of jail means he served his sentence and had a chance to start a new life. I think it is worth to do that for any person who was unjustly killed by the system without punishment for the killers.
