What's this?

Just because an atrocity has happened to a white person

does not negate that a black person may have experienced something similar AND race played a part. I know that is hard for you to fathom. I know you want to say hey a white person .... so that means no racism. Or hey a white person..... if you / the media does nto talk about that one then that means YOU are racist / reverse racism.

We should all be working towards fair treatment of all human beings (which could have helped both people in these two cases) and also realize that race plays an important part in America still in terms of your treatment.

The only thing the jury needs is to use their eyes and common sense -- orangenblue 04/19/2021 3:27PM

Its a simple case with a smokescreen of faux complications overlaid -- southdenverhoo 04/19/2021 1:07PM

It seemed like a reasonable assessment. -- DanTheFan 04/19/2021 12:51PM

Curious as to why you think that is so. How long was the cop going to -- Lazarus 04/19/2021 12:09PM

Psycho still thinks it's fentanyl that killed Floyd. Complicated? -- Blah 04/19/2021 12:32PM

I’m no lawyer but I don’t understand the carbon monoxide angle. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/19/2021 12:57PM

The defense was trying to throw anything at the wall like Psycho. -- Blah 04/19/2021 1:12PM

Yeah, their only real hope is a hung jury -- CMUHoo 04/19/2021 1:26PM

If it’s just one juror holding out, it would take extreme courage -- Wahoos6 04/19/2021 1:33PM

So sad you continue to lie. Let's not keep shitting up the board friend. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 12:35PM

Then why are you even arguing about George Floyd? -- Blah 04/19/2021 12:38PM

I haven't made any arguments. Thanks for admitting your lie though. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 12:40PM

My understanding is intent is not required for any of the 3 charges against -- Wahoos6 04/19/2021 1:27PM

You can make a case for manslaughter ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 1:30PM

He'd be living if there was NO knee to the back of the neck. -- Blah 04/19/2021 1:48PM

Your Baker quote says all 3. He did not say one without the other -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 1:50PM

This is Baker's direct quotes ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 1:56PM

Hey man, i'm just using your quotes. I don't see the one that says the knee -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:00PM

And I gave you more quotes. As I told you ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 2:05PM

That's not what the quote says. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:22PM

Let me also give you Minnesota Law ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 2:31PM

He didn't say the knee alone did either. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:32PM

He did say Chaisvin's actions directly caused Floyd's death. -- Blah 04/19/2021 2:35PM

Oh, you forgot to show that quote. Just repost for me and i'll admit that's -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:38PM

Andrews said tells you subdual and neck restraint ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:02PM

At 1:30 he just says that the other contributing conditions -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:08PM

Watch the whole video. He actually says subdual and neck restraint ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:18PM

Which part does he say that? You said it was at 1:30 which its not. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:33PM

LOL. You have nothing. You don't understand causation. ** -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:38PM

Actually, you are the one failing to produce as usual. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:48PM

LOL Psycho. If you don't have any substance, there's no reason to respond. -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:53PM

You gave me a quote that you thought you read correctly the first time. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:56PM

Let's just keep it to the sub thread below. Please ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:59PM

This quote? -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:02PM

And when asked for the main cause ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:08PM

And he makes sure to add on about the complications. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:12PM

Again, showing you don't understand causation. -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:18PM

He qualifies it in his testimony with heart conditions and drug usage. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:27PM

It's in the video / testimony. You don't seem understand causation. -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:34PM

Not me. He's the one making sure to say qualifying factors. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:36PM

And he also gave you the causation in his testimony. ** -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:38PM

And in the coroners reports. Why aren't you keeping this to one thread like -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:39PM

Okay? You have nothing more to add from Andrew's testimony. -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:44PM

Good job. Prosecution i'm sure tried to convince that of the jury. Defense -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:37PM

No duh. Do you finally understand causation? That's why what Andrews ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 2:39PM

I've always understood it. You just keep playing stupid for some reason. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 2:42PM

The only thing a rational person needs to use in this case is their eyes... -- orangenblue 04/19/2021 3:08PM

See my post above. He mentions none of what you state....again. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:09PM

LOL. So when the medical examiner says subdual and neck restraint ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:13PM

Look i believe you. I'm just trying to get you to show your work. Which you -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:32PM

LOL. if you have no substance in your argument, there's no reason ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:50PM

You posted a quote that didn't say what you thought it did. You got stuck. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 3:54PM

Then make an argument where Dr. Andrews didn't say ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 3:57PM

You mean this quote? -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:01PM

Watch the entire video. Dr. Andrews said the main cause ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:05PM

I did. He has never said that that alone killed him. He's always said -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:11PM

He says it in 1:09. There's no way to spin it. I don't know what ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:17PM

That's exactly what he said in the coroners report. -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:26PM

I see it...he says its the same as the coroner reports. With qualifications ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:35PM

Qualifications isn't causation. He gives you the causation ... -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:36PM

It's in his coroners report. ** -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:38PM

Yes ... and he talk about his TOPLINE for causation in his testimony. -- Blah 04/19/2021 4:40PM

Well, of course. That's been the topline the whole time with all the -- psychobilly 04/19/2021 4:44PM
