President Biden statement at the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend.

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death. He changed the world. Now, let us act in his memory.

No mention of his long crimInal record, 8 jail terms, including armed home invasion?


Bambu is staunchly against the death penalty, admirably.  But when the police apply it extrajudicially, especially in light of the recipient having a "long criminal record", it doesn't seem to bother him quite as much.  I guess the "long criminal record" gives the police, by definition "good guys" (in a simpleton's world ), a license to kill.

You assume.
George Floyd's death at the hands of Chauvin was tragic...but he was no saint.
If he'd forced his way into my home I would've shot him dead, along with his accomplices...my assault rifle on "auto".
If I were living in America.
Living in Australia I would have no such choice. I would have to cower in a closet, run out the back door and try to escape, or greet the invaders with kind words, hoping they wouldn't harm me, and my family.

A Zionist is someone who strives for an independent Jewish state.

#####

What's wrong with that?
Answer; Nothing.
What is wrong with someone who strives for an independent Palestinian state?

Nothing.

Jews have an independent state, and Palestinians have an independent state.
All good, everyone happy.
Everyone happy and living in peace, harmony and prosperity.

He did not break into your house. He was executed by the police.  For some reason that never seems to bother you.

Fast forward to today in civil rights America...

wealthy White folks in Baton Rouge have won from the Louisiana state supreme court approval to set up their own new suburb/municipality/city...St George.
Think the video I watched said people other than Whites could live there but the new city had to always be 55% White.
Apparently/allegedly Black activists/leaders or the like thought "Black Baton Rouge" would be better off with the said White folks gone.
Allegedly hasn't worked out that way, something about "tax revenue".

I've been de-bothered by all the horrors of the modern world, tragedy everywhere, every minute of every day.

Sometimes the Karma god pays you a visit when you least expect it.

In 2007, Floyd faced charges for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon; according to investigators, he had entered an apartment by impersonating a water department worker and barging in with five other men, then held a pistol to a woman's stomach and searched for items to steal.[18][40][41]

Floyd was arrested three months later during a traffic stop, and victims of the robbery identified him from a photo array.[41] In 2009, Floyd was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal,[40][42][43] and was paroled in January 2013.[2

You keep posting that. So you are okay with the police killing him? An odd position to take.

The cops kill White people too, they killed a guy at the train station, the cops beat him to death, Kelly Thomas, they beat him to death in front of a crowd of people and they got it all on film and yet the cops all went free, no charges.

Then with George Floyd which happened way over in Minnesota, the assholes bring the riot to my home in Anaheim, California, we did not have shit to do with George Floyd, and the scumbags just wanted to riot and burn and loot.

I was in Battle Mountain, Nevada, when the Rodney King bullshit happened, the people in Nevada hate California.

Of note, back during the Watts Riots the City of Burbank passed military rifles to all of the citizens of Burbank to defend Burbank if the riots came to Burbank, they almost had a race war.

And we need to put our best people on Offense, not Defense, Walt Disney was working his magic and not the guard at the gate. The cops, guards, border patrol, etc, are not creating anything, they are not doing anything. While public service with the police department, etc, serves society, it is not manufacturing anything or creating wealth. And it is just like when they say they want to win the hearts and minds, but then all they send is soldiers with guns, you cannot win hearts and minds with guns. You need teachers, and preachers, and stars, and entertainers, like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, they can win hearts and minds. And feed hungry children, that will win hearts and minds.

Bambu, Louisiana is a great state, and they still have some people there who speak French, and they have the French culture. The ports in New Orleans are very important, and we roast and grind coffee beans from Colombia in New Orleans, etc. New Orleans would be a great place for the new immigrants from Colombia, and trade can be expanded between New Orleans and Colombia. ( Of note, New Orleans used to bring in huge ships full of all WOMEN because the West was full of men with no women, so New Orleans brought in all women to make up for the lack of women. And they had French Prostitutes, etc. Men would travel from all over to New Orleans because New Orleans had women there. ) And New Orleans has lots of seafood, etc, it is a place of plenty. My family lived in Mena, Arkansas, that whole part of the nation is a good spot, and Arkansas has Tyson Foods, etc. And New Orleans can use a new coat of paint, etc, and they can clean things up.

And we need SCHOOLS all over America, and LIBRARIES, and we need to teach our people how to read, etc. We need literacy programs like what Famous Amos used to do, Famous Amos sold cookies and he used the money to teach people how to read.

And Kiwanis International, UNICEF, the United Nations, and Pope Francis, need to keep doing good things, and the Peace Corps, etc. And Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries.

Salute,

Tony V.

I'm not ok with the police killing him or anyone else for no good reason. Sometimes the cops have good reason for killing people, and using violence on people.

And Floyd being a bad person, in your view, was sufficient good reason to execute him?

Young US missionaries, religious leader killed by gang in Haiti

#####

Looks like Haiti is another good place for White Christians to stay out of.

There's just no helping some people. You try, and pay with your life.
Rambo [4] also showed it clearly.

In this undated photo courtesy of Missions in Haiti, U.S. missionaries Davy and Natalie Lloyd pose with Haitian children. Gang members killed the couple in Port-au-Prince on May 23, 2024.

Central Park NYC is under attack from the bad people...robbing visitors of their wallets and phones.
Women running there at midnight are being robbed, maybe assaulted...not sure about the 'assaulted' part.
Many attacks committed by thugs on gas/petrol mopeds.
Illegal to ride those in the Park...but it's just open slather, do whatever you like.
Police patrols are being increased.
When the police patrols increase, the crime in the Park decreases. Same with the subway, police patrols increase, the crime decreases. Cops go way, the crime increases.

Sly is a cool guy, I guess he hangs out in Lancaster, California, sometimes and eats at Crazy Otto's and is friends with the owner, Scott, and Scott also opened a Crazy Otto's in Manhattan, in New York City. I took a creative writing class with Scott, he is a cool guy. I think Sly lives in Beverly Hills. He has a beautiful family, and Sophia attended USC and got her degree from the school of Journalism.

I had a History Professor from Haiti, Professor Marks Ellis, and she is a great teacher, she teaches at Columbia now in New York I think, she would be great to teach on television.

And the best way to reach people in dangerous areas is to preach on television and on radio, like Dr Charles Stanley with In Touch Ministries, and Robert Schuller with Hour of Power, etc, we need to broadcast good Christians onto their televisions and radios. And show them all good healthy stuff on their televisions. In Haiti, in China, in Russia, in the Middle East, etc, we need to broadcast good Christian broadcasting. And also Mister Rogers for the children, and Sesame Street, etc.

We also need to get the children away from the war zones, they can take the children and their families to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, etc.

Of note, El Salvador is giving free citizenship to refugees, etc, including to homeless people from Hong Kong, and from Taiwan, and from China, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
