Anyone Been Watching The Derek Chauvin Trial?

[Spicerack]

I presume we're allowed to talk about it as it's all live-streamed on US tv.

[naomi24]

Untitled, if you want to shed a tear for criminals that’s your prerogative. Just don’t expect everyone else to.

[Untitled]

Just making the suggestion that he was a human being naomi... apparently that's "radical" and "unhinged"!

[naomi24]

Is it? I wouldn’t know. I just think it’s naive.

[Untitled]

Is it or is it not a fact that George Floyd was human?

[Zacs-Master]

'Surely anyone who believes Floyd is less important for committing crime- will also believe Chauvin is, if he has?'

That would entirely depend upon the severity of the crimes. We know Floyd's criminal history, we don't know whether Chauvin even had any!

[Zacs-Master]

Peter Sutcliffe was Human, What's your point, Untitled?

[Untitled]

my point is that Floyd ought not to have been killed - accidentally or otherwise - in the street.

Do you think he was comparable to Peter Sutcliffe Zacs?

[Zacs-Master]

No, but he was Human. Where does the line stop with you on assessing whether criminals are really bad or just.....a bit naughty?

[naomi24]

Yes, untitled, just as a dog is a dog ... even the dangerous ones.

[Untitled]

I said earlier in the thread that I think Floyd was not a good person.

But unlike others that is not enough to convince me that he deserved to be killed in the street...

[pixie374]

Zacs, this isn't about victim-blaming. No normal human will give a monkeys whether Floyd was an angel or a devil. You seem a little obsessed with him. This is purely about whether Chauvin did the right thing.

[pixie374]

//Yes, untitled, just as a dog is a dog ... even the dangerous ones.//

You are referring to Chauvin here?

[Zacs-Master]

Not a good person? Are you kidding, have you read his rap sheet?

[Untitled]

ok naomi... should dangerous or undesirable humans be put down like dogs in your opinion?

Any preferred method?

I think that appraoch has been tried before... it wasn't a good look.

[Zacs-Master]

Stop saying I'm obsessed with him in an effort to discredit my arguments which you're clearly struggling with.

[Untitled]

Yes Zacs I have. I have also noted that he served prison time for his crimes, expressed remorse for them, and attempted to discourage others from making the decisions that he did.

[Untitled]

I agree pixie.

[Zacs-Master]

Untitled (and Pixie) what do you have to say about the autopsy report which found Fentanyl and Methamphetamines in Floyd's system?

[Untitled]

I think it indicates that he took fentanyl and methamphetamines.

[naomi24]

Untitled, I didn’t say he deserved to be killed in the street ... I didn’t even hint at it. I simply said I don’t care that Floyd is dead. As for putting dangerous criminals down, yes I would, just as we put dangerous dogs down - and by a similar method. Painless lethal injection.
