Rant on
WTF is wrong with people? I do not care how big an arsehole you are - or how superior you think your genes are (they are not)- mocking the slow and torturous death of George Floyd is beyond the pale. And you know something else - looking at these smug racist fuckers thinking this is all so funny - their friendship circles will be tiny and I am very sure even their mothers dislike them because they are such dicks... They are cruel and nasty and vile and they have been enabled by leaders who are just as cruel and nasty and vile. There is going to be some cleaning up to do post November, because even as young people march across the world to declare back lives matter there is still a rancid overtone of white supremacist ethno nationalism that will need to be pushed right back into the dank corners from whence it came with the election of Twitler. And if white male patriarchal privilege does not like it, then white male patriarchal privilege can fuck right off.
Rant off

Will it ruin their lives? I don't care. They have lives, which is more than George Floyd can say.

(9,685 posts)And yes they need to have repercussions for this shit - the chaps on the bottom left are from the UK and they have been arrested for causing alarm and distress to minority communities. I hold out no hope that this will happen in America. I think the UK chaps are going to have their offer from University withdrawn.

(9,685 posts)They thought it so funny as a counter when I rammed truth down their throats. Another example of the right wing struggling to have a sense of humour!

(244 posts)But I do agree with the posting on DU. I would not know about otherwise. I refuse to contribute to the Facebook culture of receiving my new. On this site it is shown for what it is and not glorified.

(3,695 posts)Now they need to do it for nine minutes under the knee of someone who does not care (may prefer) that you die.
And don't forget the other two kneeling on you.
Post a running countdown clock so we know the experiment is accurate.
To be an accurate experiment, the one on the ground needs to believe, needs to know, that the one on this neck is not a cooperating friend, but rather one who wants him (her) dead.
The guy on the ground needs to have "real" fear.
Perhaps alternate the knee with a waterboard.

(10,429 posts)there is very little weight being put on the neck. Particularly in the bottom right picture. Nothing at all compared to Floyd's murderer, who was putting ALL of his body weight on George Floyd's neck.
These people are fucking idiots.

(10,039 posts)look like this is being done in public. That's some brazen shit. Also, the two fucks in the upper left look like they are working. I hope someone identifies them and reports them to their employer.
