But where is the discussion? How did American culture become so violent and hateful that a grown black man would even dare walk up to a white child at play, pull out a gun and shoot him? What does this say about the violent and bigoted culture of black Americans? Would this man have felt so emboldened if there weren't thousands of violent rioters marching all over the nation chanting, "Black Lives Matter!!!"?? Is this boy's death a direct result of a culture of outrage, entitlement and violence whipped up by the BLM movement?
The whole BLM movement is plain old BS.

When the people employed by the public who are supposed to catch murderers do the murdering that involves more outrage.

This is a heinous murder but the justice system is doing something about it.

The media is largely to blame for the division.

A guy was interviewing protestors and the average protestor thinks 1,400 unarmed blacks are killed by cops It is 9 to 13. The average protestor thinks that whites are 50 times more likely to kill a black person than vice versa, which shows how clueless BLM is. They literally talk about "genocide against blacks" by cops.

The protestors have a false sense of reality, because the media plays up any white or cop on black crime and milks it, but the opposite they downplay or ignore.

The media has twisted reality and resentment has brewed.

The left keeps pushing racial paranoia, intolerance and hate and the mentally unstable will be influenced to become violent. The Democrat convention is doing this as we speak. They're destroying lives and encouraging chaos and mayhem. BLM and ANTIFA will run amok attacking at random thinking everybody is their enemy.

This was the right pushing the agenda that this was a racial hatred this time, Icy Tea.

That's why the mom had come out and say this wasn't racially motivated.

But you knew that.

Here is his arrest record: https://www.thecourierdaily.com/wp-c...nal-record.jpg

As per police criminal records/history/past, of assault and armed robbery he took part in 2007 and spent five years in prison for breaking into a lady’s house with the intent to rob her. George agreed that he wore a blue uniform to look like a government employee to gain the lady’s trust, and eventually pave his way into the house.

The lady soon realized that the person was impersonating to be a government worker, she tried to shut the door but Floyd brute-forced his way into the house. Consequently, a Ford truck pulled up to the house’s main entrance, five people exited the truck and went straight inside the lady’s house.

According to Daily Mail (UK), the court report mentions that the victim identified George as the criminal, tallest of all the robbers, who pressed a pistol to her stomach and forced his way into the house. George Floyd’s height was 6 foot 6 inches.

‘THIS LARGE SUSPECT THEN PROCEEDED TO SEARCH THE RESIDENCE WHILE ANOTHER ARMED SUSPECT GUARDED THE COMPLAINANT, WHO WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD AND SIDES BY THIS SECOND ARMED SUSPECT WITH HIS PISTOL WHILE SHE SCREAMED FOR HELP.’

Not finding any cash, Floyd and other men took jewelry and the lady’s cellphone and fled the scene using the truck. A neighbor had witnessed the robbery attempt, wrote down the license plate number, and reported the incident to 911 instantly.

The police followed the lead and successfully tracked down the car. Floyd was found behind the wheels. Later, his identity was cross-verified with the women who reported that a tall suspect had placed a gun to her abdomen and invaded her home forcefully.

Really? Are you serious? Technically speaking, there is even less racial component of the accidental killing of career criminal George Floyd, by officer Derek Chauvin who knew George Floyd prior having worked with him. Did you find it intriguing at all that the media suppressed the footage of the struggle of the officers trying to get him in the back seat of the police car? Or, do you think it’s somehow legal for certain members of society to resist arrest with every ounce of their energy at all costs, and not have to deal with the repercussions if during the struggle the arrested individual succumbs to injuries based solely on his own actions.

A lot of my FB friends are wondering why the streets aren't full of marchers demanding justice for Cannon. The thing is, the POS murderer was arrested immediately.
If he is sentenced to anything less than life without parole I'm sure they will be marching in the streets for him.

The whole thing is just beyond comprehension. The father said he had dinner with the murderer the day before. I can't even imagine what the family is going through.
The story is really not everywhere, and it took CNN almost a week to report it, and then only after CNN realized it couldn’t be ignored.
