republicans being evil must be a day that ends in y

wtf is he even trying to say. its like he just threw a bunch of buzz words into a blender. Its a conservative madlib. He didn't even post a specific article. he just posted a link to a random, bias blog....the fuck. I know conservatives are getting dumber by the day but holy shit, they're really embracing being the party of stupidity.

Pro-life party strikes again

When will the GOP realize that even if Floyd did all the things they're digging up, that he still didn't deserve to be fucking murdered on the street by a government official.

mo brooks was saying "floyd was a 'bad guy' so it was cool to murder him"

ps mo brooks is a bad guy

Except they really are misrepresenting what George was. They straight up said at his memorial service "his only crime was being black." Which is a blatant lie. He was a criminal almost all his life.

Did he deserve to die? No.

Does Chauvin need to be convicted of murder? Yes.

Is it right to protest against excessive force? Also yes.

But so many are painting George as some kind of saint.

Victim blaming

Your past only matters when you're black.

When they say that, they mean at that very moment of being murdered. Not in totality.

Well I sure hope the black community will take this into account and make sure the next black person to be murdered is a total saint like MLK Jr.

Oh except when people bring up the fact he cheated on his wife so how can they possibly follow a hypocrite of a Christian.

the gop really really doesnt want to set the precedent of "if you did bad things in the past it should be open season on your life"

A third of people have used illegal drugs at some point in their life

ergo a third of all people are criminals

Ooohh, that changes everything. that means his death was justified. thanks for that wisdom!...No, dork, they didn't mean overall, they meant in that moment when he was being murdered. If you got arrested once, then 5 years later someone shot you in a robbery, and i said "his only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time", would it be ok for someone else to say "UMMM ACTUALLY he was once arrested in an unrelated event so stop lying!" No of course not, because that would be stupid....stop saying things that sound stupid.

"Excessive police force is a problem. You see though, the REAL problem is that the victim is not as good as people are saying, hmmmmmmmm" is not a convincing argument.

No, the issue is people propping up a dead man who can no longer speak for himself; misrepresenting him in a way that lets him be more easily used as a political tool.

Hes an Alabama congressman actually.

Three points"
1) So people should hold off on protesting till a saint is killed? Then you will take their complaints seriously?

2) Also, you said "He was a criminal almost all his life."
He had not been in the legal system for the past six years.. how is that "almost his all his life"?

3) Overall, why is it so important to you that this "truth" be revealed? Do you hope it will tone down the intensity of protests? Or conversely, do you believe people who wouldn't have listened before would listen now?

He thinks he's better than others, which is a sign he's smaller than most
