"It turns out the whole George Floyd story was a lie"

 

Tucker Carlson points that out in his latest video interview.  Go watch it.  It's less than 15 minutes of your time, but uncovers conclusively the way in which George Floyd's death was seized upon and manipulated by progressive left-wing groups and politicians to fundamentally reshape American society.

How we overturn that, I honestly don't know - but we've got to overturn it, because if we let a lie shape our society, pretty soon there won't be any room in America for honest people.

Love to see all the commenters from the past who excoriated anyone who expressed a sliver of doubt about "Saint" Floyd's manner of death... comment on this. But I'm pretty sure it'll be crickets.

We knew within 1 hour of Saint George of Fentanyl's death that the neck hold wasn't an issue.

We knew within 24 hours that St. GeorgeoF overdosed on his own drugs.

We knew within 24 hours that he had also done the exact same thing, without the final dying part, a year before.

We knew within 24 hours that there was nothing anyone could do for the turd.

We knew at the trial that the Defense proved everything was bupkis, that the officer involved was innocent, that George took his own low-life life. And that the jury was intimidated by BLM and other organizations but no mistrial was called due to jury tampering.

We knew.

And it didn't matter.

I know smart, intelligent people who still think the cops murdered poor George. And who haven't heard that George swallowed multiple fatal doses of different drugs. And that he was fighting the cops. And that he had a huge criminal record of doing drugs, selling drugs, fighting cops, being an ass and just being the most loathsome person you could imagine. And that the Defense proved everything everyone knew was bupkis and that there was jury tampering. Their response is usually, "If that was true then the media would have told us, right?"

Seriously, it disgusts me that people still believe the neck hold, in use for over 50 years (you can see Reed use it all the time on "Adam 12") was what killed George.

No.

George committed suicide. There was nothing the cops could do. There would have been nothing an ER could have done if he walked into the ER, got everyone's attention and then swallowed all those drugs right there. The man was on death's door from poor life choices and then kicked the door down using an explosive breech of illegal drugs, all at lethal doses.

There's a reason that the autopsy and drug panel results have not gotten the airplay that they should have.

Sickens me that people still believe George's family.

A lot of the stories we hear are fiction.

Treyvon Martin, who everyone knows as the cute kid in the hoodie, had grown up a bit since the picture had been taken 4 years earlier. He was a large nearly 18 year old with anger and violence issues and had been taken from his mom and sent to his father to get him straightened out. The eyewitness saw a 'large' man beating another senseless, and everyone jumped to the conclusion that it had to be Treyvon being beaten before he got shot. It wasn't.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot" was a lie from the start. It was started by his accomplice, who had just helped rob a nearby store and wanted to get away. For some reason, the media ran with the lie.

There are others, and sometimes the spotlight does expose a different problem, but the emotional posturing keeps anyone from actually doing something about it. I'm reminded of a case in Baltimore where it turned out the police were essentially being used like the Sheriff of Nottingham, handing out unreasonably expensive tickets to poor people for minor infractions, in order to collect money for the city.

When I click the link, I get the following:

Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

Anyone who believes TPTB or the media wouldn't lie to us isn't much of a student of history or human nature.

@Uchuck: That's weird - it was the right link earlier. I've corrected it, but if there are further problems, let me know. Thanks.

The tragedy of that day was the cops got there before he died.

If the verdict were to be overturned, a CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC would go even more gorilla-sh*t than they already have.

Beans is right - the "jury" was intimidated into the verdict.

Remember,, there were two autopsies. The First one said what we know. It was prior to The Outrage. The second one delivered the desired report.

Dude didn't die; saw him at his own funeral. The sunglasses did not fool me.

Beans said it best. Scott Adams also said it best, but in a more general way of self-preservation.

also, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!" - what a crock of shizzle.

The country and most of the rest of the world seems to be staggering towards. . . . something. It will not be pretty. Like the late senator Thompsons' character in "The Hunt for Red October" said - "this thing will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it."

I remember the Rodney King riots. And I remember that they happened, not because Rodney King was beaten, but because the cops were acquitted.

I also remember that the Feds decided double-jeopardy doesn't apply to them so they re-charged the cops, and this time the jury knew what the verdict needed to be.
