    Not what I asked..

    I think it is.

    You're trying to attribute blame to Mr Floyd, drawing a line between his resisting arrest and his killing at the hands of Mr Chauvin.

    It's the same thought process as "But was she wearing a short skirt? Was she drunk?". It doesn't matter. One does not excuse the other!

    Reckon DC will get off.

    Defense playing a blinder with casting reasonable doubt.

    If any jurors think the fentanyl played a part , then DC will walk and Minneapolis will burn

    Here's a few yes or no questions.

    Do you think Floyd resisted arrest?

    Answered already.
    Do you think Floyd's drug taking played a part in his death? Even a small part?

    Mr Floyd's death was rued to be homicide. He would not have died had he not have met Mr Chauvin that day.
    Do you think Floyd's poor heart condition played a part in his death? Even a small part?

    Mr Floyd's death was rued to be homicide. He would not have died had he not have met Mr Chauvin that day.
    Do you think Chauvin played a part in Floyd's death?

    Mr Chauvin kneeled on Mr Floyd's neck, causing his death.

    Why can you not answer? You did not answer the clear and specific question I asked.

    I think most people can answer yes here. That he did escalate the situation by his actions and resisting arrest.

    I answer yes, and I still think Chauvin went OTT in his actions..and that this contributed to Floyd’s death.

    Balance...

    You are coming across just anti police full stop. Not willing to even assess anything that went on during the situation.

    It’s straight to Chauvin the killer/murder with you..

    Saying yes to Floyd escalating the situation doesn’t mean that anyone is absolving Chauvin here. You do realize this?

    Yep, not a single yes or no there. In actual fact not a proper answer there at all. You are wilfully not answering questions in an honest fashion.

    Fine. You have your blinkers on. No point engaging with you any more as you clearly can't widen your focus to see that there might, just might be more at play here than Chauvin's actions.

    And for the record, I'm not saying Chauvin is innocent by the way. I'm just saying there may be other factors to be taken into account.

    Good job at ignoring the questions.

    Toxic levels of fentanyl in his body at the time of debt.

    Complained of being short of breath and can’t breathe even when in the back of the police car, likely due to respiratory depression from the above substance.

    Defence playing a blinder.

    But keep drinking the cool aid

    Its better to just put on the pay-no-mind list.

    So you agree that Mr Chauvin killed Mr Floyd. We agree here.
    You are coming across just anti police full stop. Not willing to even assess anything that went on during the situation.

    Again, if you wish to point out where I've been anti-police then I'm happy to discuss. I asked you already and you couldn't come up with anything. If you do,let me know
    It’s straight to Chauvin the killer/murder with you.

    That's because Mr Chauvin killed him. I've seen the video and the autopsies.

    Here's a question for you:

    Do you think that if Mr Floyd had never met Mr Chauvin that he would have died that day?

    @ MrStuffins - your habit of using the ' Mr ' prefix with their names is very odd.

    Are you sure you have the ability to discuss this topic? You seem a bit all over the place.

    who knows?....unless you might have an opinion on that? hmm what do you think?

    Was thinking the same thing..

    Could have lived or died...

    Nobody knows what the future holds..

    I suppose it’s simple statistics. 50/50. He lives or he dies!

    At that point, George Floyd had been.alive for 17,025 days.

    According to you, he had a 50/50 chance of living or dying on any given day.

    He managed to win that coin flip 17,025 times in a row.

    A man like that should've been playing the lottery every week!

    Chances winning the lottery is 50:50

    You either win or you don’t

    Anyway, still waiting on an answer from you..

    Do you think George escalated the situation that day by his actions and his resisting arrest...

    Yes or no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭KeepItLight


    Arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication & recent methamphetamine use might have tilted the odds slightly more towards death.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,724 ✭✭✭Nozebleed


    mr.stuffins you have to stop..just log out for an hour or something. your contibuting nothing but nonsense..you've no interest in listening to facts.

    Did he take 3x a fatal dose of Fentanyl on those previous 17,024 days??

    And he was killed by the arresting officer, during the arrest.
    You need to wait for the verdict.

    After watching the full arrest video it's obvious Floyd escalated things with his behavior, his actions did warrant the use of some restraint but kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes wasn't justified, it played a role in his death, Chauvin played a role in his death.

    Looking into Chauvin's background and it's easy to see he was an accident waiting to happen, a man like that shouldn't be a cop.

    Yeh yeh..

    We all know it’s 1 in several tens of millions..1/139 million they say!! Or thereabouts. One line. 5 and 2 lucky stars.

    Anyway, you win it or you don’t...hence my 50/50..

    It’s clear you have no desire to discuss this topic without deflection ..

    Still refusing to answer a simple and clear question..and it only paints your view as being hellbent on the cops being the baddies!

    Exactly.

    Just like the chances that he would somehow just happen to die on that day if he'd never met Mr Chauvin

    50/50 :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 524 ✭✭✭penny piper


    Just a question ...why didn't the paramedic (not sure if it was the first/second witness) ask the officer (chauvan) to remove his knee from floyd's neck when he went to check his pulse? it seems a reasonable thing to for them to ask... I thought they only said they asked the officers to move when they were going to put floyd into the ambulance and said the officer/s helped....

    MrStuffins, if you represented the prosecution, the judge would have thrown out the case pages ago.

    He would have then shook his head and questioned your professional credentials.

    Judge: "What are the chances of winning the lottery?"

    Defence lawyer: "50/50 your honour"

    Mr.Chauvin: "Jaysus, I wonder what my cellmate will be like?"

    he actually had 11 ng/ml of fentanyl and 19 ng/ml of methamphetamine in his bloodstream postmortem. The US media are reporting these significant findings as simply "traces" of fentanyl in the bloodstream. That's literally a lethal amount of fentanyl without even factoring in the meth.
