We live in deeply mendacious times, and there is no better example of that than the secular sainthood of George Floyd, violent career criminal and drug addict, who came to a bad end by his own actions. Live not by lies.

Celebrating “in his honor”? Who among the sane, or minimally moral, could evey call this man honorable?
Well, maybe he’s comparing GF to himself and people he knows. According to that standard, GF didn’t commit treasonous acts, sell out his country to China.
I mean, that IS worse than what GF did
What a lecherous, lying, corrupt old man we have for President. He is a disgrace to the office.
I often think it might do the black community in America some good if they would stop making heroes and saints out of repeat criminals, violent offenders, and drug addicts. But then, that assumes those doing so want to do the black community in America some good.
We’ve had saints who’ve done terrible things – Saul/Paul etc. The difference is they had a change and turned away from sin.
I for one am thrilled to hear that he will be taking action in George Floyd’s honor, which must mean stopping the fentanyl that destroyed his life.
But since that would be sensible, useful, and possible, I suppose that’s not what Biden means by taking action.

The presumption there is that there is an impersonal standard of right and wrong which applies across the board and that there is such a thing as truth and falsehood. Of course there is. The liberal chatterati fancies it’s their prerogative to manufacture heroes and to do so out of such unpromising material as George Floyd. Just keep lying and people will believe the lie. Black chauvinists fancy deplorables like Minneapolis cops have no authority over people of superior status like George Floyd and George Floyd’s blackness and his ‘victimization’ trumps anything he did do or did not do on that day (and anything he did throughout his entire life).
It’s very difficult to maintain a common life with this sort of poison sloshing about.
You have to keep the black community believing they live in a world were they will always be marginalised and suppressed so they can rely on the government and those who wish to save them. Give them God and they will find, like every other race, that is all they need to rely on.
I reckon if you surveyed the average black person and asked for truthful and anonymous answers, I wouldn’t be surprised if most don’t believe the narrative themselves. That’s an exercise well needed if you are genuine about racial equality and all.
They will forget; when the next criminal is hyped up by the media to be a martyr. How many times have you heard about Trayvon Martin since the rise of Floyd?
Myself, I won’t forget Mohamed Noor. And in particular the absurdity of the Supreme Court throwing out his third degree murder charge under the reasoning that since it requires “generalized indifference to human life” it can’t apply when there is a single victim. The most absurd thing about all of this is that the prosecution used Noor’s case to argue that Chauvin was also liable for Third Degree Murder, but after Noor was cleared of that charge retroactively, the same reasoning did apply to Chauvin.

Note, this ghastly legislation was imposed by a 7-1 majority in the Irish legislature, against the expressed preference of 3/4 of the Irish public. This is the work of a political class which despises its populace and fancies itself impregnable. Not placing my bets on the Irish judiciary.
