According to FBI table of homicides, white on white murder rate is 81.6%

Of which there were 9 in the last statistical year data was posted. Oh, and 19 people of pink color.

Candace Owens Rocks! go girl go

Candice Owen pretty much knocked it out of the park!

George Floyd doesn’t need Candace Owen’s support—or anyone else’s, for that matter. He’s dead, having been videoed in the street being murdered by a police officer whose murder appears to be supported by three fellow police officers in that they did nothing to stop him. A bizarre thought: As this murder was not instantaneous, if only a group of bystanders rushed the police and forced the murderer off Mr Floyd. Not such a good idea; they might have been able to save Mr Floyd)s life, but imagine what could have happened to them....

Anyone who finds justification in agreeing with Ms Owen’s focus on character description of Mr Floyd (accurate as it may have been; I have no certain way of knowing) rather than cringing and being horrified by yet another murder of an unarmed civilian by a police officer by essentially choking him to death is the reason why my parents are spinning in their graves about what has become of the Republican Party of their day.

Mr Floyd could well have had a poor character. I’m not saying any of this is true; I’m just supposing. Maybe he didn’t pay his child support. Maybe he abused women. Maybe he belittled the disabled. Maybe he insulted or even caused harm to those who disagreed with him. During the 911 call, it was said he appeared drunk, an autopsy confirming he was using drugs. The effects of both appear the same, something I would see here in TV virtually daily before. Covid-19. But at that moment—theday of his murder—his only possible crime affecting anyone was trying to shop with a counterfeit $20 bill—possible because it could not be said that he knew it was counterfeit. RIP, Mr Floyd, and condolences to his loved ones.

What did you think of Ms. Owens' remarks in the video?

To the best of my recollection, in nearly 300 posts, only a single poster took exception to a single remark (regarding Mr. Floyd's fentanyl intoxication).

That's pretty unheard of to have near unanimous agreement of her points in the video.

The truth hurts real bad. Some people just don't want to know the real truth.

In college the course was called Discussion and Debate. One can spend a lifetime hammering out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin--and never get to a conclusion. My own feeling is that when it comes to truth, it's best to keep it simple:

An unarmed--in this case handcuffed--civilian was killed (murdered, according to the legal charges) in the street by a police officer with the support of three other police officers.

Ms Owen's remarks have nothing to do with this. Let it play out in court.

Since I'm the OP I believe I can speak to the TOPIC of the thread I started. The TOPIC is specifically about Candace Owens' remarks. If you wish to start a new thread, not about Candace Owens' remarks on George Floyd, you're welcome to. However, aren't you being a bit of a bully to barge in on this thread and redirect what you think the topic of THIS thread should be about?

[clwahlstrom]

Live Candace... always speaks her mind!

[Red Rose]

She is brave enough to speak the truth.

[ColdNoMore]

She's simply cashing in (literally)...on what some people want to hear.

She used to have a different outlook...but it didn't pay as much.

If you say no, THAT would really...be a depressing thought.

[ColdNoMore]

And it's purely a coincidence, that ONLY certain blacks (a minute %) are believed and supported by some white folks...while the vast majority are constantly vilified, denigrated and not believed by those same whites?

Yeah, that coincidence...makes perfect sense.
