Not to mention the dozens of witnesses screaming at Chauvin to get off Floyd's neck because he couldn't breathe.

    ‘Tell him we will pray for him.’ ‘He needs your prayers.’ ‘Is he, then, an unhappy man?’ Poirot said, ‘So unhappy that he has forgotten what happiness means. So unhappy that he does not know he is unhappy.’ The nun said softly, ‘Ah, a rich man…’ Poirot said nothing—for he knew there was nothing to say…

    Ipve markdown and that places like this support it but the way it handles single returns and needs those spaces bugs the shit out of me.

    I mean......maybe we just shouldn't have nazis at all? I know my deceased purple heart WWII normandy beach storming grandfather would have prefered that outcome. In fact in the 90s, he was quite proud of the lack of nazis due to his and everyones combined efforts in the 1940s.

    I take it you haven't seen the movie....

    spoilerThe blonde on the pic was raised by Nazis on a moon base. She meets the black guy, realizes she's been indoctrinated into a terrible regime and helps kill the fuhrer

    It's very much a tongue in cheek comedy movie mocking Nazis.

    Uh, there wasn't a lack of Nazis in '90s. The US, under Truman, partnered with the Vatican to save over 10,000 Nazis from justice and brought them to the US, its territories, and its vassal states. It gave them fake names and official documents, money, jobs, property, and protection. Then the US staffed the first generation of NATO with Nazi officers, and together they organized Nazis and Nazi collaborators all over Europe in a covert operation to arm, fund, train, and prepare them for a resurgence. In West Germany, former Nazi politicians were openly elected and appointed into government positions, and it was so egregious that some Germans and Scandinavians turned to terrorism in protest. The USSR had to build a wall completely around West Berlin because it was a small little polity in the middle of East Germany that was literally electing Nazis to power.

    Hey bot, when do you think the 90s were?

    They were 45 years after Operation Overcast and 30 years after Operation Paperclip officially ended. Which means Nazis got to regroup after having been defeated and cast into disarray by the USSR and spend 3 generations developing their program under the protection of the US military with the resources of the US economy.

    He doesn't have to have intended to kill the guy to be criminally liable for his death. He was grossly negligent in his sustained use of a restraint technique with lethal capacity and callously unrelenting in the force applied, which was deemed excessive, even as the danger Floyd was in was apparent, and even then after he went still and no longer had a pulse. Whatever his intent, he murdered that man by two different legal definitions as the justice system concluded.

    I don't know who needs to hear this, but Derek Chauvin himself pleaded guilty in federal court and admitted that he used excessive force.

    Whatever the constitutionality or merits of his current effort to reduce or eliminate his federal sentence, that has absolutely nothing to do with his underlying murder conviction. Chauvin was convicted of murder in state court beyond a reasonable doubt, and he admitted his guilt. A subsequent challenge to his sentence does not erase, invalidate, or somehow put that conviction up for debate. Derek Chauvin is, and will remain, a convicted murderer.

    And Elon Musk continues to prove, over and over again, that he may be the stupidest smart person I have ever seen in my life.

    He's not smart! Holy shit why do people think he is a genius? I just don't understand, he didn't invent anything, doesn't design anything engineers are currently talking about having to walk him back because he's deadset on something catastrophically stupid.

    Because you can hate the guy all you want but he's still smart enough to make himself untold fortunes. Neither you or me or the rest of the planet have been able to do something like that. Yes he did it in an underhanded immoral way but nevertheless.

    The caveat with this asshole is that he's also dumb at the same time making him absolutely unique which is why I call him the dumbest smart person in the world.

    Depends on the facts, if you intend to kill someone it is murder and if you don't intend to kill someone it is doing something you didn't intended that left someone murdered because of you.

    You’re trying to be sarcastic about how the media and bootlickers use the passive voice, right? “X murdered Y” vs. “Y died, X’s knee was in the vicinity.”

    I think these other commenters are jumping to the wrong conclusion.

    Yes, might be better to use /s behind it but i refuse to put it there only so people read beyond the first line. I dont care about downvotes, and some of those might come from people who read everything but did not understand my message, that could be my fault, but so many people start writing a comment or downvote something without even reading the whole thing. Those people lead lives full of emotions they gave themselves. They want to be angry about something and will fire at anyone who seems a valid target. People who jump to conclusion do really hurt themselves and especially their world view, because they only see what they want to see.

    He looked dead inside when he was on George Floyd's neck for 9 and a half minutes. There's also better ways much better ways to restrain someone. There's two-point restrain methods and they could've done a four-point because there was two officers there, they could've held his legs and his arms, they could've shackled higls ankles and made him walk slowly to the vehicle; They could've done anything else.

    They didn't have a reason to do a neck restraint. A neck restraint just isn't chill, unless the person is a terrorist then give em the neck knee.. 😋

    He continued to kneel on George's neck for several minutes after being told - by his fellow officers - that he had no pulse. He 100% intended for that man to die.

    This is slander to space. Elon has never been there, and probably never will be. He's not associated with it at all, and if asked, space has dozens of planets as witnesses willing to corroborate this.

    He's not a Space Nazi. He's a Rocket Nazi. Not even the Rocket Nazi (that'd be Wernher von Braun); just a wannabe hack.

    "Space Nazi" affords him even the dubious accolade of getting to or enabling space travel.

    Just call him a Nepo Nazi, as he is. Highlights the only thing he's achieved: getting ahead based on being raised with "South African emerald mine" money.

    To prove your point I legit don’t know (based on your word I should say remember) who the dude is. Was this the Minnesota cop who shot the dude in the car while he still had his seat belt on? Or the dude who shot the kid for being new to his neighborhood (who we all found out after the fact stole a pack of skittles).

    Keep in mind I stole a few candy bars when I was in high school. Kids do dumb shit, all kids do.

    Or wait was this the main asshole cop that suffocated a dude in the middle of the street by laying his knee on the guys back?

    Or was this The New York or New Jersey cop who suffocated a dude for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk?

    Fuck….

    When you list it all out from memory it’s fucked up. And I’m sure I’m still missing some.

    You forgot the one where the police served an illegal no-knock warrant to the wrong house and kicked the door in causing the homeowner to fire a shot (rightfully) believing there were home intruders and his EMS worker girlfriend was murdered in the officer’s return fire. Can’t you think of the poor officers? It’s awfully hard to read a house number
