After President Joe Biden, Governor Tim Walz, and Congresswoman Maxine Waters all weighed in on what they hoped the “right” verdict would be in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer was found guilty on Tuesday afternoon of all three counts brought against him for the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. After the unanimous verdicts were read, Chauvin was handcuffed and remanded to custody of the Hennepin County Sheriff’s office. There is no question there will be an appeal in the case. Appealable considerations began with no change of venue. Witness intimidation, public

I am disgusted. I cannot believe the verdict, right or wrong, was reached without intimidation. The venue should have been moved and the jury sequestered. I am sickened by the reactions of Bidet, Giggles and the media. Giggles all but canonized a drugged up thug. There is something seriously wrong with a culture that makes heroes out of criminals and then blames me for their problems just because I am white.

The talking heads I’ve heard' including the conservatives, seem to be okay with the verdict and seem to think an appeal will be turned down. If they think this will satisfy the liberals, they are stupid.

Sorry to disagree but I think that Derek Chauvin left the bounds of reasonable judgment when he continued to use maximum force on a man who was unconscious and without a detectable pulse. Another officer suggested that they put GF on his side. Chauvin continued even after the EMS arrived. Should an officer get charged with manslaughter or murder for poor judgement? Well, part of his responsibility includes protecting a suspect in custody. He failed at this. Unless Chauvin speaks about it, we will never know what he was thinking. It's a shame, especially since GF is being held up as a sainted individual. The mobs are already attacking a truck driver in MPLS. And the fool fest of Sharpton, Crump, Jackson et al is in full swing. This is just a sickening case and no good will come of it. Ramona (the Pest)

Maxine Waters and her army of professional rioters made a reasonably successful appeal possible. Judges don't say what this judge did unless they are p!ssed.

This case could have, and should have, been a positive event toward racial harmony in the country. Very probably the jury would have reached the same verdict without the race hustling woke-wackos threatening to burn down the country if they didn't get the desired verdict. A clean verdict simply recognizing the facts of the case would have been a victory for the country and justified the beginning of return to respect for our justice system. It is a shame that that was tainted by the howling mob. An attempt to bribe a juror for a vote would be treated as a crime. An attempt to intimidate a juror is much worse. It casts a pall upon even the most honorable juror who would never consider taking a bribe. Everyone who "protested" outside the courthouse should be ashamed of themselves. Mad Maxine and her ilk should be criminally prosecuted for their acts.

I believe the judge told the defense lawyers they have something like two weeks to file an appeal of the verdict.

#4~ For the record, Derek Chauvin’s defense attorney, Eric Nelson, “showed a video from police body-worn cameras from a different angle showing DEREK CHAUVIN’S KNEE WAS ON FLOYD’S SHOULDER AND UPPER BACK, NOT HIS NECK.” According to published reports, Mr. Floyd “had a deadly cocktail of drugs in his system. It’s believed that this same cocktail of meth and fentanyl are what sent Floyd to the hospital, where he nearly died, only two months before. Fentanyl causes asphyxia. ... Pills were found in the Mercedes SUV and the police squad car, where Floyd had been for a brief time, had meth and fentanyl in them, which he was believed to have eaten to hide evidence from cops.” Officer Chauvin weighed 140 pounds and is 5’9”. Mr. Floyd weighed 223 pounds and was 6’4”. According to Mr. Floyd’s girlfriend’s testimony, “he was using drugs again after a short sober period.” Mr. Floyd had been with his drug dealer when the police officers arrived at the scene. Officer Chauvin along with three other officers “acted entirely according to the training and guidance provided them by the Minneapolis Police Department.” Mr. Floyd was placed in what is called “the recovery position to alleviate positional asphyxia” with Officer Chauvin “kneeling on the side of the suspect’s neck.” Mr. Floyd “was at imminent risk of death from sudden cardiac arrhythmia caused by excited delirium. So it was that these officers followed the MPD’s official procedures for how to properly and safely subdue someone in that life-threatening condition. In doing so, they were not only keeping Floyd in the prescribed “recovery position” to alleviate his risk of asphyxiation, they were also keeping an agitated and delirious Floyd from harming himself as they awaited the arrival of the ambulance that they had twice summoned to provide medical aid to him.”

You should inform yourself of the facts, #4. When you listen to the Enemedia and believe even a tiny bit you are disinformed, misinformed and uninformed.

NEW YORK, NY – New Yorkers are reeling from a rash of recent, apparently random, attacks on citizens, leading some to wonder if the “knockout game” is returning. A 47-year-old man suffered a broken jaw in January after being sucker-punched in the face in the Bronx. Police described the attack as a “possible knockout game.” Also in January, Catholic Deacon Frederick Kurr, 74, was sucker-punched as he attempted to swipe his subway card inside a Bronx subway station. Video footage shows a suspect, who had been standing at an adjacent turnstile, punching Kurr in the face. The suspect reportedly told Kurr not to call for help, and he also told his victim:

When President Joe Biden announced he would withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 9/11, GOP hawks like Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham responded predictably. “Grave mistake,” muttered McConnell. “Insane,” said Graham, “dumber than dirt and… dangerous.” Of more interest were the responses of conservative Republicans who commended the president. Among them were Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a group that contains several potential candidates for the GOP nomination in 2024.

In the video, Salama appears on his knees, with three masked men holding rifles stand behind him. The one in the middle launches into a typical jihadi diatribe: “All praise to Allah, who ordered his slaves [Muslims] to fight and who assigned humiliation onto the infidels” — this latter part is said while the terrorist contemptuously points at the bound and kneeling man before him — “until they pay the jizya while feeling utterly subdued.” The middle speaker continues

Unlike Maxine Waters’ inciteful comments about “more confrontation,” it is unlikely the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial will hear Joe Biden’s comment this morning praying that the “right verdict” will be rendered because the jury is now sequestered. AP reports: President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he is “praying the verdict is the right verdict” in the trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and that he believed the case to be “overwhelming.” (Snip) So Biden, who likely only knows the evidence in the case from the mainstream media, is setting up to excuse riots and looting if there is the “wrong verdict.”

The world is living through a crisis of civilization which differs from ordinary disruption in that it involves not a breakdown of physical systems, as might be caused by a natural disaster or technological failure, but is a malaise afflicting the intellectual functioning of society itself. By its nature, a civilizational crisis affects elite institutions, the dominant ideology, the core operating system of a ruling system. It is not a breakdown of the backward periphery but a madness in the heart of empire, a rot in its ivory towers.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler announced that he wanted to “reimagine” public safety in the city. If the use of the word “reimagine” pinged your “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” radar, you will soon know how right you are. Thus far, “reimagining” public safety has gravely damaged it in Austin. It has amounted to cutting about $150 million from the Austin Police Department’s budget and standing idly by while violent crime rates have soared in the once peaceful and slightly weird city. Two APD cadet classes were also canceled. Breaking Bad has come to Austin. By my last count, Austin police officers have been shot on duty four times
