Most people have been protesting like this for 9 days now. These protests have been massive and widespread. We have seen flashpoints of violence on the news and social media but the boring bits where thousands of people march peacefully through the streets is not as attention grabbing in the competition for eyeballs. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 200 years of peaceful singing and they'll have cracked it. The respect that is, not the economic and physical and education racism. That'll take a bit longer if you're just going to be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is like sending thoughts and prayers after the latest shooting spree. I don't think they care about respect for their protests. They want significant changes across the country. The problem is, those in power have shown that respectful protests don't actually work. Colin Kapernick being a prime example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted June 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hey can we make sure we warn folks if the videos we post have some violent/shocking scenes. The video above for example includes footage of George Floyd's murder and I for one am someone who doesn't want to see it. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Floyd tested positive for covid19 and it appears had meth/fentanyl and cannabis in his system, though not the cause of death according to the toxicology report. I really hope that the murder2 charge is a tactic, as well as being politically necessary right now, to get this pleaded down to avoid a trial. They'll have such a tough time getting anything like an appropriate jury and proving "intent that lacks premediation" could well be tough. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/06/03/george-floyd-had-coronavirus-autopsy-finds-but-it-wasnt-factor-in-his-death/#1516834f2b44 "The toxicology report said Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system when he died, as well as cannabis compounds and morphine; a press release summarizing the report Monday listed arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease, “fentanyl intoxication” and “recent methamphetamine use” as “other significant conditions” but not “cause of death.”" A good run down of murder2 here: https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/second-degree-murder-overview.html This is likely to be the key point of contention: "A second situation that constitutes second-degree murder is where the perpetrator intends only to cause serious bodily harm but knows that death could result from the act."

maqroll Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Virginia is going to remove their huge Gen Lee statue. Long overdue. Cant help but think it will be rallying point for armed racists though. Dangerous days ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protecting his buildings has turned out to be a major law enforcement priority, which on the one hand is no surprise, and on the other is extremely hard to justify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Biden was one of the prime movers behind the 1994 crime bill, and numerous crime bills in the 80s. That he is considered as salvation is some form of weird sense of humor.
