And does this if you have a history of petty crimes means you are not a victim apply to getting killed by not cops? Like if one.of those grannies at the Wisconsin parade had been caught a couple times selling her oxycontin to buy food, can we.call her a pusher rather than a victim and shrug off her death?

Thumbs up.

Conflate much?

If the granny was a habitual criminal and made life choices that put her in a position to willfully confront and act in a threatening manner with authorities while she was breaking the law, then you could question her.

But that's a silly and specious argument that you're making.

Bottom line, if a motherfucking asshole does asshole things and dies as a result of or as a by-product of his/her/their continued willful patterns of risk behavior, they/he/she do/does not then become fucking Mother Teresa or Jesus merely because you wish to use their death as a way to advance your political cause.
Yes, you support the puic.3xecution of petty criminals. We get that.

And the next time you try to say  Do not put words in my mouth try finding support for the idea that anyone likened George Floyd to Mother Theresa as opposed to his being someone who did not deserve to have his life choked out of him for eight minutes.

I support people living productive lives.  Mother Teresa, yes. George Floyd? No.

Mother Teresa does have a monument to her in Wisconsin.
Few people know about it.

George Floyd has a statue in Newark, NJ. And in NYC. George Floyd Square is a memorial site and occupied protest at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.


George Floyd was a common criminal who ran into a psychopathic cop. Of course, if he wasn't doing his thing, criminally, he might still be here today/

Mother Teresa is literally a saint. That used to mean something to you.

Apparently, no longer.

Strawman much?  Asking for lawful enforcement (as in, not publicly executing unarmed people) is not canonizing or beatifying the victim of a police killing.  When ordinary folk like me ask for professionality and lawful conduct from our police forces, we are not trying to advance a political cause, just trying to get public safety, even for the assholes.  You of all people should value that last part.

50 million barrels of oil on the wall, 50 million barrels of oil,
You take them down, and pass them around,
And prices all drop at the pump for ya'll!


Wanted to put this up here before Red raced to praise Biden for his swift and decisive action helping out the American people (mostly in Red States, btw).

Stop putting words in the mouths of others. Using Saint Teresa of Calcutta as your standard we all.deserve whipping at minimum. The only person comparing her with Floyd is you.
