Fenty Floyd OD’d 5 years ago today

Sunday, May 25, 2025

George Floyd died five years ago today, his movement only more recently. It is no exaggeration to say that his death was one of the most important moments in recent Western history. The viral video showing Floyd having the life choked from him by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin led to a wave of protests, riots and so much more. His death may have been more complex and multi-causal than initially seemed to be the case.

Say his name!

Also interesting read, especially when it gets into violent crime statistics. Very impressed Spike'd would write such an article.

The man was murdered.

And six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

BLM probably started out with good intentions, but I could see way back in 2015 that it was being latched on to by grifters and (probably Russian) agitators and trolls. I was following stories about excessive and misused force by police long before that, especially with tasers. It's a shame that the left never seemed to care about it unless it fit the white on black narrative, while the right never seemed to care about it at all.

He didn't change it, he just made his own headline story. Sorry not sorry if anyone was offended by a truthful headline.

Especially when they have no real control. King Chuck just landed in Ottawa.

"His death may have been more complex and multi-causal than initially seemed to be the case."

Or maybe it was just murder.

I guess we'll never really know.

Mmmmm nice try Heil Snoofy, the guy's heart gave out bc he took enough fent to kill a horse (again per the first autopsy before "leftist politics" forced the coroner to change the report).

If not that day he would've been dead in 6 months from heart failure.

Wow. Someone is waking up to intersectionality. Seems Floyd's death had some effect.

If it was an OD that killed Floyd, shouldn't the LE officers have been trying to get him help instead of letting Chauvin lean on his neck? Chauvin killed him. End of story.

As I've stated before, I will never defend Chauvin for his behavior that day. With that said ... He didn't kill Fenty Floyd Whatsleft, the Fentanyl did.

And again, the initial autopsy confirms that. Politics once again interferes with the truth. The entire absurdity of his sainthood reminds me of Bonfire of the Vanities. I laughed so hard when his mural was struck by lightning and destroyed several months later. It confirmed there is a God, and God hates leftists.

Yet your current alias continues to do so.

Taking a step back, what does that say about the credibility of what your current alias posts here?

Twist it anyway you like if it makes you maga maroons feel better.

It changes nothing. His death was ruled a homicide. His murderer was convicted and sent to prison.

You are still not allowed to kill people even if you think they will die anyway.

Maybe if you morons raise enough maga stink or bribe Trumpy by buying his crypto trash he might pardon the murderer for you.

So why did Chavin take the extra effort of pulling him out from the car and kneeling on his neck until he murdered him?

Since you understand and support Chauvin here, tell us why.

Trump killed him, by not keeping our border secure from the China Fentanyl.

Trump's tariffs killed George Floyd. With Chauvin's knees

If a man jumps from a twenty story window and is fatally shot on The Way Down, is it Homicide?

Legally,Yes.

George Floyd's health had nothing to do with Chauvin's murder conviction.

It's Noise. Created to dismiss the guilt of the killer.

Why doesn't Trump Pardon Chauvin?

Hitler used to intervene in criminal cases he saw in the news Too.

Trump is like Hitler in many ways.

Heil Snoofy, I've never once said I supported Chauvin. He failed to render aid and that's what fucked him. He is a police officer after all and he is required to render aid. Again per to initial Coroners report the dumbass OD'd.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Left chooses the dumbest martyrs and when facts eventually elevate above feels the truth comes out.
