Having been a cop — I can relate to situations instantly twisted bad — the Chauvin verdict

Let's set aside aspects of purported right and supposed wrong for a moment . . .

 

. . . and examine how quickly Life escapes control:

 

 

Would drugged-up, former strong arm criminal George Floyd have predicted that he would be dead minutes later — after self-destructively resisting arrest — his resistance probably being due to the ingested drugs' combined effects upon his already messed mind?

 

Called to assist with George Floyd's street detention, would then-officer Derek Chauvin have predicted he would be convicted of two counts of murder and one of manslaughter — no matter how legally inapplicable one or both the murder charges were?

 

And would the Chauvin trial jurors have foreseen what an inescapably pressured torment they would be dragged into — at the time their jury notices arrived in the mail?

 

 

Through ancient Greek eyes

 

The 'gods' have been playing with their human victims.

 

 

To wit

 

First, I make no dispositive judgment about Floyd, except that he was (demonstrably) a more-than-once criminal and seemingly prone to abusing himself and others.

 

George Floyd, thus, makes a poor Left Wing martyr. His arguable characteristic lack of society-approved decency says something about the mentalities of those who pedestalize him (and similarly inclined others) for political purposes.

 

Second — and comparably going against the Right Wing's reflexively pro-cop perspective — were then-officer Chauvin's reportedly previous serial displays of abusive (or repressively callous) occupational judgment.

 

Chauvin is no more a good example of sane policing, than Floyd is of genuine martyrs flown to Heaven.

 

Third — and heavy-handedly nuancing the situation toward its terrible outcome(s) — was the visibly incompetent, perhaps rookie, performance of some of the other police people at the Floyd arrest scene.

 

Floyd's failures to act with a trace of good judgment sadly meshed with theirs.

 

Clearly, 'the gods' had generated a nasty vortex via those explosive minutes on that street.

 

 

Subsequently, the Floyd-revolving tornado grew in size

 

Myriad self-anointed guardians of righteousness appeared and announced that that American cities would figuratively and literally burn — unless Justice, according to their prescription, was done.

 

For his part, Judge Peter Cahill kept the trial in Minneapolis, where fairness and soundly reached judgment would (again predictably) be impossible.

 

The jurors' cage was locked. A toothed, mob-controlled 'we will riot' trap prevented them from delivering anything other than a — 'guilty across the board' — Soviet-style show trial verdict.

 

Predictably — cowed by a year of protests, riots, arsons and lootings — the Chauvin trial jurors came back with a thrice guilty verdict. That trio of criminal offenses being dependent upon the easily arguable misuse of one, and possibly both, of the Minnesota murder statutes involved.

 

The gods-generated vortex had uncontrollably grown to blanket the nation.

 

 

Finally . . .

 

Putting a worthy bow on this lives-crushing tornado — of apparently Hades-like origin — Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (suitably moronically) said that:

 

 

Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom ― how heartbreaking was that? ― call out for your mom, ‘I can’t breathe.’”

 

But because of you, and because of thousands ― millions ― of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice.

Soviet commissars could not have been more 'eloquently' on message

 

As Rick Moran put it:

 

 

There was absolutely nothing to celebrate about this trial, the process, the outcome, or the demise of a white cop.

 

There was nothing to celebrate about the death of George Floyd, who became just another totem of racial injustice that activists and politicians pointed to as evidence of white America’s guilt.

 

His dead body and the grief of his family were shamelessly and outrageously displayed and exploited by those who knew exactly what they were doing.

 

The political agenda was served and the narrative advanced.

 

They had ginned up outrage over Floyd’s death, whipped crowds into a frenzy of racial hate, and now that Chauvin has been found guilty, it’s time to party.

 

[W]ait for the next tragedy to unfold as political theater.

The moral? — Plutocracy's plan to dismember the American public advances

 

Pay attention to how you are being manipulated. Notice how facts, whomever or whatever they describe, matter not at all.

 

We are lost in an intentionally created, inhuman fog.
