America went to the polls in November 2020 and 75,000,000 of us voted for the murderous POS on the right. That is, sadly, who we’ve become.

How in hell is Biden going to fix that?

Is that pervert hiding a stiffie he got because he was killing someone?

Not only did he enjoy suffocating George Floyd he was also getting off on the onlookers distress and inability to stop him.

Neither of these issues should be "over" yet. There is a LONG way to go.

Something I'd never noticed before: Chauvin's stress level. The defence claim was that he was intimidated by the crowd around him - despite having an armed protection unit with him. I'm not saying that they and their guns would be able to subdue the bystanders if they got too restive, but I would like their chances.

But Chauvin being in fear for his life? He's so fearful and stressed, he's got his hand in his pocket. A SURE sign of high anxiety.

In fact, I find it so significant (while it probably has no legal weight, it might help convince a jury who often dispense justice instead of the law. In this case, hopefully both) that I hope the prosecution has made mention of it. If not, I'd love to see it suggested for their summation.

Chauvin's casual, relaxed demeanor. What kind of monster looks that nonchalant while deliberately murdering someone? *shudder*

I don't know how anyone can look at that pic and NOT see that this was a deliberate and premeditated act.

He was peacefully protesting police brutality and racism. The other guy is a murderer. It's not a hard choice to make.
