Chauvin Murder Trial

[The Grand Nudger]

It did, and they were pretty damned brutal in restraining him.  Chauvin committed the crime for which he was charged and convicted -after- Floyd was fully restrained.  Public opinion and tainted juries played absolutely no role in what chauvin did, for ten minutes, on video, in front of everyone's lying eyes.  He committed the crimes for which he was charged and convicted -at least.  IMO, it was more than that, but hey, whatevs, it's nice when the bad man does the bad shit on tape, right?  You think that being a bad guy needs to be counted in when it comes to floyd...fine, same with chauvin.

He was committing assault, and through his extreme recklessness, caused a mans death.  Those were the charges, that was the conviction.  If you want to insist that taint played a part in convicting him for exactly what he did on camera, you could at least explain how, rather than waving at some boogeyman.

You are putting words in my mouth. I think its you who is looking for a boogeyman.
Go for a walk, do some breathing exercises and talk to me when you're ready to be civil.

We have different notions of civility.  Being completely upfront, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for me to be any more civil by whatever measure you define it.

Did you or did you not suggest that the jury was tainted?  Did you or did you not suggest that chauvin was not guilty of the crimes he was charged with and convicted for?  Did you or did you not suggest that something about what floyd had done some other time and what he did before he was restrained needed to be factored in for chauvins crime? I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge that I've misunderstood something, you just go ahead and tell me what I misunderstood.
