If You Thought 2020 Black Lives Matter Riots Were Bad, You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet
The Derek Chauvin trial will bring out the worst in left-wing activists and bring permanent damage to big city minority communities
The Derek Chauvin trial is a ticking time bomb for Black Lives Matter and Antifa groups if they don’t get their way.
There’s a good chance Chauvin may not get the justice those groups demand. The jury must acquit him if there’s reasonable doubt. George Floyd’s autopsy revealed a fatal level of fentanyl in his system which helps Chauvin’s defense. He told officers he couldn’t breathe while they tried to put him in the police car before Chauvin had his knee on his neck. Difficulty breathing is a side effect of fentanyl according to WebMD.
This doesn’t excuse Chauvin’s poor choice of his method to restrain Floyd, but the evidence that was hidden from us by the media over the summer during the riots doesn’t do the prosecution many favors. The media wanted to promote a certain racist narrative instead of telling us the truth. As a result, we saw cities burning and inaccurate perceptions about police brutality get promoted as facts.
Things are already looking bad for the trial because of how hard it is to get jurors on the case. One potential juror said he was fearful of the high emotion surrounding the case and potential threats towards his family. That’s a valid concern because of the widespread violence we got forced to endure last summer. You put yourself in danger if you vote to acquit because of leftist tactics like doxing to get revenge.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa chapters didn’t care about attacking businesses and private property after Floyd’s death. A Missouri couple faces felony charges for defending their home by exercising their Second Amendment rights against a Black Lives Matter mob last summer. Why would you want to sit on that jury if you get threatened by left-wing activists at your home or business and you end up being the one facing legal trouble for defending yourself?
It looks like Minneapolis learned its lesson last year from the riots that set the city on fire. Minneapolis police, Hennepin County sheriff’s deputies, Minnesota state troopers, and the National Guard are all getting deployed for the trial along with putting up concrete barriers, security fencing, and barbed wire around the courthouse. Nancy Pelosi should be proud they are copying her security she has in place around the Capitol in case of violence.
ABC News put out a ridiculous article whining that the extensive security is an intimidation tactic. Of course, it is. Everyone knows the destructive behavior BLM activists engage in. Last summer was a warmup to see what they could get away with and there wasn’t much they couldn’t. I wonder if this so-called journalist would feel comfortable covering the trial inside the courthouse with a riot going on outside with little security. He probably won’t be so he can get away with writing social justice articles like this.

There’s no realistic verdict BLM or Antifa activists would accept. It wouldn’t be enough for them if they could drag Chauvin’s body through the street if he got convicted. The violence is going to get worse because last summer rioters proved they can get away with what they want if it’s for a social justice cause. Every big city should get prepared for the worst. City governments better make use of the remaining funds from taxpayers they have left for the police.
The sad thing is the people who get hurt most if there are mass riots in Democratic party-run cities are poor and minority communities. Poor minority neighborhoods are located in cities, not your woke suburb with social justice virtue signaling signs on their manicured lawns. It’s going to be the Black-owned business that will get its windows smashed in and burnt down. Do the rioters care what those people think of how they are trying to get “justice” by destroying property?
There’s nothing wrong with making the Minneapolis courthouse look like a fortress. If those kinds of security measures are good enough for the scum who would storm the Capital, then it’s good enough for left-wing radicals as well in Minneapolis. It’s too bad innocent people have to endure the consequences of the Woke Supremacists. It would be a lot different if the only people who promote and support wanton destruction for their version of justice need to deal with the consequences.

Did you know that those two men had a history? They both worked at a strip club as security. According to the former owner, who may be Maya Santamaria, (may have forgotten her name,) they did not like each other. This may have been a hit job.
I read your piece George and it is to-the-point. BLM is a racist and Marxist organization. Also, I am considering not renewing my account as I believe some Liberal on Medium did not like what I had to say and now I have been threatened by Maharishi Amazon. I don't think I trust Medium anymore. I was going to try to join Common Sense because I have great street cred. Now, I can't trust the platform. I would like to know your thoughts. Donna S Cohen RN
