Well there went the only good part of Chicago. Love hanging out in the city. Not gonna happen now

No, I like Pilsen. But you always stay in the loop.
Lol love protesting/rioting when the police did what they were supposed to do. Same people still defend Michael Brown and use the fake "hands up don't shoot" line that never even happened.
Things the dumbass mayor complains about though.

Go North. My buddy lives a half a mile or so North of Wrigley and it's an awesome area.
posted by jmogTake one Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class and you will know that a knee to the neck for 8 minutes will kill people, even if they aren’t on drugs.
Don’t be stupid QO.
I didn't say the knee was not a contributing factor. In fact, I made no comment at all after posting excerpts from the article. I also don't believe 95% of the people realize he had 3x the lethal limit of fentynal in his system.
posted by SportsAndLadyPlz keep us posted on Michigan Ave’s survival. I know you’re well connected and in the loop on these things!
Great night for the Magnificent Mile last night; wonderful news for Michigan Ave and all of Chicago.
Again, the mayor should be removed from office immediately for the safety of the residents.

She’s starting to annoy the piss out of me. You simply CANNOT post that tweet if you’re going to allow mass protests. Obviously you guys know my stance on all of this, so you know she’s starting to show her idiocy if I’m starting to turn on her

Here’s why you are being stupid
The knee wasn’t a “contributing factor”, it was what caused the death.
If I pull a gun and shoot someone and they die in the hospital. However while in the hospital they got tested for COVID and was positive.
Did COVID kill them or did the gun shot wound?
The knee to the neck for 8 min killed Floyd it doesn’t matter WHAT was in his system, even if it was a lethal dose and he was going to die 2 hours later from it.
A knee to the neck killed him, period.
Don’t be stupid.

When libertarians and conservatives on this site pointed out this same hypocrisy you labeled them racists.
Are you racist now?

LMAO you would be a cocksucker about that post
I’m saying a public official constantly calling out chicagoans for being grouped together, but not calling out protestors is not right. She either needs to call out both, or don’t call out either one.

Agreed
QO going with the “I didn’t say any of this, I was just forwarding along the article!” argument. You hate to see it

And that’s what the libertarians and conservatives on this site were saying as well. Yet you had problems with them saying it.

I disagree. But I don’t really care about arguing with you anymore. You’re a robot, and I really don’t like you
So Chicago neuters its police, neuters its sentencing and prosecutions....and crime goes up. Who knew?

Did you know Floyd had 3x the lethal dose of fentynal in his system? Additional information related to the autopsy also interesting. Black and white facts matter.

Seemed like he was still alive despite that until the cop killed him.
So I did some sleuthing the fentanyl will be an interesting argument that might be able to create enough reasonable doubt to end-up with Chauvin getting something like gross negligence for failing to provide medical aid.
George Floyd had 11 nanograms of fetanyl in his blood. Mixed with other drugs, concentrations as low as 7.6 have resulted in death. But the concentrations of other drugs in his body were not high, and didn't suggest recent use of more than a day or two.
For addicts with a tolerance, fatal doses can be @ 24 nanograms. 11-12 can be fatal to inexperienced users.
I'm guessing Floyd was probably not an inexperienced user, so I don't believe he had taken a fatal dose. The argument I'm sure will be made is in combination with Covid-19 and other drugs, it could have been fatal. And, obviously, the knee contributed. JMOG has said several times his instructor said that move is fatal. I'm sure the defense will have experts that claim it isn't.
Again, it's not about proving the COD. Only creating reasonable doubt that the restraint isn't fatal without the contributing high levels of fentanyl. This is really just about whether he'll be convicted of murder as multiple other charges pretty clearly should stick.
So the looting was caused by the cops shooting someone who was shooting at them first?

Looters dont care about the specifics, they just know they are getting away with it.

At least they finally got some good stuff. I just SMFH when they loot the Dollar General.

Pretty much, yes. Although the cops said their body cameras were turned off, so we may never truly know. But I don’t think any cop, no matter how racist they may be, are shooting Black kids in the back of the head in 2020 (and especially in a neighborhood like Englewood) without being shot at first
I work with several black women, and they were all furious today at the looting. They all said that with 100% certainty in their minds, the kid (he was 20, so not really a kid) shot at the police and then ran away when they shot back. And that rioting and looting because of that takes away from the peaceful protesting after the Floyd murder.
