The guys in Georgia thought they were protecting the neighborhood from crime, which they probably were. They'd had a string of burglaries and see a non-resident teenager walking around a construction site -- most people can put 2 and 2 together and deduce that he's not there to learn how to make custom millwork... he's there to steal tools or copper most likely. The teenager runs away, then literally grabs the gun away from the men from the neighborhood and in the struggle for the gun gets inadvertently shot. Now 3 men with good intentions (protecting their neighborhood) are imprisoned in Georgia for most of their lives. That's not right. Chauvin Case: Good news -- a court is giving the green light to examining George Floyd's heart tissue as a part of Chauvin's appeal. Floyd died from a drug overdose... Chauvin pinned him to the ground (using a long-accepted technique taught nationwide to police officers) because Floyd attacked people and was a huge man capable of killing with his bare hands. https://www.startribune.com/derek-c...-in-challenge-to-federal-conviction/601195442
Just stop. We all know the details of both of those cases and those guys are exactly where they belong.
I knew I shouldn't have looked at who you were responding to. People can't be that dense can they? He has to be trolling.
I don't think you do... if you bought into the media's programming during the height of the racial justice hysteria -- then you likely do not. Sometimes the truth is shocking to you if you've been wrong for so long.
Are you trying to imply that somehow the woke media was even able to brainwash and program Donald J. Trump? These cases are over and Chauvin and the 3 dudes in Georgia have been convicted by juries and locked away in prison where they belong. Sorry for your loss. President Trump said in a Fox News interview Wednesday that he has watched some, but not all, of the disturbing video of George Floyd's death, which has ignited protests across the country and around the world calling for police reform. "The George Floyd case, nothing has to be said. I watched that," Mr. Trump said in a phone interview with Sean Hannity. "I couldn't really watch it for that long a period of time, it was over eight minutes. Who could watch that?" "But it doesn't get any more obvious or it doesn't get any worse than that," he added. Mr. Trump condemned the officer in his interview his interview, saying he "has some big problems. He just snapped." "I just left a big group of the top sheriffs and law enforcement people in the country, and nobody was sticking up for what he did," the president said. President Donald Trump said Friday that he spoke with members of George Floyd's family, “I spoke to members of the family, terrific people, and we'll be reporting as time goes by," Trump said during an event at the White House Friday evening. “I just expressed my sorrow. That was a horrible thing to witness," Trump continued, adding that it "looked like there was no excuse for it.” I want to express our nation’s deepest condolences and most heartfelt sympathies to the family of George Floyd. Terrible event. Terrible, terrible thing that happened. I’ve asked that the Department of Justice expedite the federal investigation into his death and do it immediately, do it as quickly as absolutely possible. It’s a local situation, but we’re also making it into a federal situation, and it’s a terrible thing. We all saw what we saw, and it’s very hard to even conceive of anything other than what we did see. It should never happen, should never be allowed to happen, a thing like that. But we’re determined that justice be served. All Americans were rightly sickened and revolted by the brutal death of George Floyd. My administration is fully committed that, for George and his family, justice will be served. He will not have died in vain." President Donald Trump has called the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man in the US state of Georgia, a "very disturbing situation". Speaking on the Fox & Friends programme on Friday morning, the president said he had seen the footage, which he described as "troubling" to anyone who watched it. When asked about the racial issues at play in the case, the president said "justice getting done is the thing that solves that problem". Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a White House adviser, has also weighed in, asking in a tweet "why it seemingly took months, the release of a video and corresponding public outrage to catalyse action". "I saw the tape and it's very, very disturbing, the tape," the President said, speaking over the phone to the network. "I got to see it, it's very disturbing." Trump said Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is, "going to be looking at it very strongly and he's going to do what's right, but it's a heartbreaking thing and very rough, rough stuff." Relatives of Ahmaud Arbery have been invited to visit the White House by President Trump. Relatives of Ahmaud Arbery met privately with President Donald Trump Tuesday, The president’s closed-door meeting with Arbery’s mother. The mother of Ahmaud Arbery said Tuesday after meeting with President Trump the president was very concerned and compassionate during their interaction.
Exactly -- and it's very hard for anyone to admit they were duped. So many people got caught up in the moment and it impacted their ability to reason and think critically. This happened to prosecutors and juries as well... and some juries acted in fear of mob violence against them if they strayed from the mob's wishes. My hope is that more and more people see how the media manipulations work and arm themselves with the tools to spot it and respond to it accordingly. But that does take more effort than just following the herd. Trump's election and popular vote victory give me hope that a new day is upon us. The people are smarter now and their eyes are open. GOOD DAY
@Salvy @Rocket River @Os Trigonum @basso the reason why Joe Rogan and podcasters are the media now is because there’s a bigger audience and more content that is not littered with commercials and hierarchy of corporate influence . Sure there are sponsors so they can make money, but the sponsors don’t influence the content . for example CNN is littered with drug commercials and ABC is owned by Disney. Rogan is paid by Spotify but their influence is mainly the streaming revenue not some ED drug
The mainstream medias self-importance and their notions of journalistic integrity and rigor are laughable. The majority of them have a strong left wing bias (PBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Axios, Vice etc etc) and of course FOX has a right wing bias. These entities decide what to report on, how to frame the reporting, what to highlight, what not to highlight, how to frame those stories, who to ask to opine on the stories, who gets soft questions, who gets hard questions, how questions are framed for particular guests or important people etc etc etc. Such a grift.
What’s pathetic is that people still watch those channels religiously. That is what keeps the grift going. Stupid people everywhere. You can tell there are lots of people in here that love the women on the view.
The only people I ever see on this BBS talking about anything from The View are posters that lean right. And they are usually angry about it. But I have never seen anyone from the left holding the View up as anything worthwhile
They express the exact same opinions and speak the same rhetoric that you see in this forum. Lots of people here watch it everyday.
No idea. If you say so. But to make my pont, I don't any opinions from the View other than angry posts about it made here. And you are very familiar with the View and their daily rhetoric.
Lol. WTF are talking about? You can beleive whatever you want. What strange fantasy to wish to beleive in.
