Good to know you're really happy with the verdict. Pretty much have to be, huh?

Bill, And Floyd was a career criminal, not a saint. Like I said before, his rap sheet ended at 2007. It seems to me that he was trying to get his life back on the straight and narrow. Unfortunately he likely fell off the wagon around the time of his arrest and subsequent death. Portraying him as a "career criminal" is inaccurate. All it does is feed into stereotypes and gives the left even more of a reason to push the "systemic racism" narrative. Tenchusatsu

And Floyd was a career criminal, ... There are people who spend years in prison and upon release commit some crime and spend only a few days outside of prison before they are back in jail, awaiting the trip back to the joint, where they are respected, have the skills to get along in the structured environment they have learned to accept. I guess they probably feel insecure around the gentile and have no skills or knowledge of how to get along. Looks to me Floyd was in a similar pickle: Big, scary black man, not successfully able to navigate the larger environment around him, slipping into the underworld. Career criminal? That would describe a Mafioso Godfather. Unfortunate, shunned, doomed were Floyd's credentials. There are many in society that are ear marked for failure. Not always racial, just different or frightening. The lucky ones play bad guys in theater/movies or other niche. Truth is the old southern crackers feared their women would see a black dick and get jungle fever. Repubic Mon's fear the day their money can't buy and their power can't hold. Ain't true love a funny thing?
