Counter-protestors Mockingly Reenact George Floyd Murder

After all that the George Floyd rioters have done, are you really bothered by this? It was clownish and imbecillic, disrepectful, and unChristlike, but the protesters have blood on their hands.

Good counterpoint. Then again, I was in shock at the riots for days. I was the first here to post on them a few weeks ago. This is more than clowning it seems. They were fired though, so things seem resolved.

I don't understand why people are fired for doing stupid pranks. The cop is a sadistic psychopath like Charlie Manson. Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization. The victim wasn't much account being a porn star with a long record and all but he was murdered by a psychopath and that is horrible.

We need to get rid of psychopaths in all professions.

This is in very bad taste, but something like this was bound to happen. For every action there is a reaction, and this was it.

It is like re-enacting Julius Caesar in Central Park with the dictator dressed like Trump.

This psychopath cop probably had a personal grudge against his victim.

Do you think that off-duty cops should be allowed to work strip clubs? I don't.

I don’t agree with what they were doing, but let’s not confuse inappropriate play-acting with murder.

The reason why I disagree with the last part is that it bans speech for being inflammatory. Except for the “fighting words” exception and actually encouraging people to harm others in the present or future, no speech should be limited. This is where the U.S. differs from others. All speech is inflammatory to someone. If you ban some speech for being inflammatory, then no speech is free.

At the same time, remember that these people lost their jobs. I don’t know of any rioters who have lost their jobs. I don’t think it is wrong that they lost their jobs. Most states are right to work and freedom of speech means that the government can’t do anything about your speech. It has nothing to do with who private briskness can hire. This is why Georgia Clark has so far won her case.

Now, now, now. You know all Republican Presidents are fair game. Wasn't there a play with "Dubya" getting assassinated?

But kill him out in public? Yeah, to do that he was surely a psychopath.

Sure, why not? They need security too. The question is, what was the Christian man Mr. Floyd doing working there?

You know, I do think about that. Since the two had worked together, did Chauvin kill George Floyd out of something past between them. Really odd to kneel on the neck of a man without a pulse for two minutes.

I just want to say we need to call out all Christians who do such blatantly immoral things like go to strip clubs or take drugs. I think the funerals of a number of Christians can be galling given how they lived before appearing before the Judge.

I cut your quotation to the one about cops and Christians working at strip clubs.

Floyd worked inside per the media and the sadistic psychopath worked outside. Floyd was a porn actor per the media. Where did the counterfeit money come from? Did Minneapolis allow police to put a knee on a person's neck?​

For every action there is a reaction. You don’t say. Bound to happen huh. Yeah, now think about what you just wrote and think about things happening right now. Maybe a light bulb will come on.

Hmmmm - how could all this have been avoided??
Hmmm - I know - if Floyd had not passed counterfeit bills!

I couldn't believe this when I saw it. I'm just in shock.

All Lives Matter protesters re-enacted George Floyd's death as a Black Lives Matter march went by - CNN

Of course, the riots sent me into shock for days. I was the first to post on them here.

Is it really any worse than the things that have been done in the memory of St. George?

At last count 15 people had been killed in the rioting.

Nothing that is done by either extreme should shock our delicate sensibilities. And one extreme is no worse than the other.

Oh so now the whole innocent until proven guilty thing flys out the window. We give every benefit of the doubt to the officer who killed a guy but it’s a slam dunk that this guy is guilty.

I don't normally agree with you, but you have a point on either side, innocent till proven guilty is our standard.
