Bye bye you murdering motherfucker.
Oddly, I feel no joy. I thought I might. But I don't. Still processing this.

(58,785 posts)Jason Johnson is expressing complete dissatisfaction. Guilty, guilty, guilty just means to Johnson that a black man has to be murdered on air to get "even a nominal amount of justice."
I expected at least some riots tonight no matter what happened, and I imagine Johnson's anger is pervasive or he'd keep a cork in it.

(50,255 posts)Having his sorry ass in jail won't bring back George Floyd, but it might make the next cop think twice. Having the city pay up a huge settlement is one thing, but decades in prison is a whole different ball game.
