Since he and I live in the same A.O, I believe that he is suggesting that there are rumors that Trump is going to pardon the cop who killed George Floyd.
I hope he does it if only to troll the planet.
v on brand.
I feel two ways about this- Derek Chauvin 100% did not get a fair or just trial. That's just objectively true. He was tried on him being a racist cop, not for the facts of the matter. He was convicted in the court of public opinion long before the jury passed judgement. The only evidence you need of this is the 42-month sentence of Tou Thao- he never touched Floyd and was doing crowd control, convicted of failing to intervene, "aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter." Two other cops caught charges for helping to restrain Floyd. It's a farce of a conviction for all three but most egregiously Thao.
That being said, Trump can only pardon Chauvin on the 21-year federal civil rights case, not his state case in Minnesota. The only person who could pardon Chauvin is Tim Walz, and that ain't happening.
From a trolling perspective, the optics of Minnesota burning to the ground AGAIN over this case would be terrible for the left, it further torpedoes lame duck Walz. It highlights the left's use of violence every time they don't get their way.
From a reality perspective- why? It doesn't save him jail time (he's serving a 22-year and a 21-year sentence concurrently). It doesn't "right a wrong". It doesn't have an output that gets us (conservatives) closer to any goal, and I am including "the culture war".
On a note about protests... for those who aren't tracking, Columbia university students took over a library at Columbia. The NYPD pulled a pro-gamer move, and once they occupied the library, the police locked everyone in and wouldn't let them out without identifying themselves (based).
Now, those students (50 of 80 protesters arrested were students, the other 30 weren't, which is a weird stat) are being charged and are bemoaning the stripping of their 1st amendment rights, which of course isn't true.
And now, if it isn't the very real consequences of their actions. These petulant children are getting the spanking they deserve, and they're shocked to learn that calling for a global intifada while wearing keffiya's isn't the vibe they think it is. Good.
Mood flips at Columbia U after quashing of latest protest, Trump pressure takes hold
ETA- from the article, the most interesting stat is that the VAST majority of protestors arrested were females. Not a plurality, an overwhelming majority. The lesson, as always- privileged, liberal women are the greatest threat to our republic. Just a personal opinion.

That Columbia deal is rich.
What? Roughly 3 to 1? There are so many jokes here, but I'll walk away from the explosion.
I thought the first was bad, but this is a masterpiece. Trump's a dictator, but I guess Hamas is okay? The message is antisemitic, but not against Jews? Clowns. "I don't like drinking water, I drink Aquafina instead."

One of our nation's top universities, and close to 40% is foreign? That... kind of seems like a problem to me.
Ref. the female to male ration: emotion-based arguments appeal to everyone, but they seem especially effective with young, white liberal women. They are also less likely to manhandled, and to get huge headlines if they are. Those percentages are not surprising to me. Plus, a lot of young men are waking up to the whole "don't support people who hate you" phenomenon, which for a very long time has been what the left has largely done--hate young men.

Yes...
Minneapolis and state leaders prepare for possible Derek Chauvin pardon
Not sure this is realistic, afterall, a President can't pardon state crimes, but, that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from kicking into high gear.
That said, seems *something* may be brewing. It's tough to say what exactly.

it doesnt matter what the white house says - left wing media said Trump is going to pardon him
...time for some broken department store windows - burning cop car - throwing soup cans at law enforcement - level peaceful protesting to show how much the left disagrees with leftist reporting that Trump is going to pardon him
For fuck sake we already had to pardon Darth Cheney's little hell spawn and that Doctor Mengele COVID asshole - other wise Trump would have jailed them in Gitmo without a trial.
Forever
because orangemanbad
...boo Trump
BOOOOOO
boo
Hooray Democrats
hooray

Hope not….fuck that guy.
Trump hasn't talked about it, it's Ben Shapiro and Matt Wallace advocating.
The real story here is this- political violence only goes one way in this country at this time and it comes from the left.
IF the left doesn't get what they want, they will burn your city to the ground. The right simply doesn't do this.
No one can dispute the above facts. It's simply true, and has been since the Summer of Love in '20.

it was also true in the 60's - some folks would even call the democrats behavior tantamount to a civil war
then it was true again in the 1960s when dope smoking hippies took the place of civil war democrats
and in the 70s when President Obamas friend Bill Ayers was causing violent civil unrest
and so on and so on
and so on

National guard now activated- TERRIBLE for Newsom.
