The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

They chose him because he was black and got killed by the police whilst resisting arrest.

Ah, I get you; echoing Saint Peter, the father of Christianity, who cut off one of the arresting officer's ears while resisting the arrest of Jesus against Jesus' wishes?

I wouldn't have taken you for an evangelist, given your penchant for the the auld korl morxism.

Scooby Doo is less confused than you pal.

"Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common."
Acts of the Apostles, chapter 4 verse 32.

[Caomhaoin]

Funny that Comrade Lenin banned the whole thing!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It's not quite true that the bible was banned in the USSR, but the verse is one of many that explain why the traditionalists in Rome fought against the bible being translated into the vulgate.

[Caomhaoin]

Not officially banned, nor was religion, but de facto.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Right, just like it was by the Catholic church; de facto banned. It's a dangerous book, especially the New Testament...especially for conservatives! Sure Jesus was killed for being a radical!

[Caomhaoin]

The original victim of cancel culture!

Saw a few days ago that Chauvin has a slim chance of getting away with it. The amount of fentanyl in Floyd's system was way above what was necessary to overdose. Even if he got away with it he wouldn't be safe anywhere on the planet.

He'd be safe plenty of places.
They'll have to throw the book at him though I'd say. Otherwise we're in for another 6 months of Burn Loot Murder

He had a high level in his system, not a fatal amount, plus you need to account for any tolerance he may have had. Plus opiod overdoses come on incredibly quickly, fenthynal even more so, when did he last take it before the incident?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Had he taken enough fentanyl for him personally to overdose, he wouldn't have been buying something in a shop just beforehand, he'd have been collapsed in a heap a few feet away from wherever he'd administered the dose.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Erra yeah, pure coincidence that he happened to have difficulty breathing to the point of death after a policeman knelt on his neck for 8 fucking minutes. Pure bad luck for Chauvin that a normally lethal drug decided to hold off on the lethality just in time to make him look bad!

[Caomhaoin]

He seemed quite frisky for a man who had just od'd.

It may have contributed to his death, but no more than that.

If you were on that jury, even if there was compelling evidence to acquit, you'd be scared witless to return anything but a guilty verdict. He has to be sacrificed to the zombies, guilty or not.

[Emphyrio]

Ah he's guilty alright. Floyd being put on a pedestal is, of course, ridiculous but thems the times. There would be war if Chauvin was acquitted but I think there's enough clear evidence that he was definitely too heavy handed.
