MAYBE I AM A BAD PERSON, OR PERHAPS I AM JUST SHALLOW

But I Am Getting Really Tired Of Hearing About George Floyd

by Bob Walsh

George Floyd wasn't Mother Theresa.  He wasn't really a good person.  He was a thief and a doper and a robber who was almost certainly killed by a Minneapolis cop without any sort of reasonable justification.  It looks like there is at least a fair chance that "the system" is going to deal appropriately with those involved.   Maybe we should let it.

I am tired of two weeks of "demonstrations."  I am tired of two weeks of fucking riots and thievery.  I am tied of listening to self-serving whores (aka politicians) talk about how we need to defund the police or end systematic racism or White privilege or sleeping in church or farting in the subway or whatever the hell is putting a bee under someone's bonnet.  If you have any actual fucking ideas I wouldn't mind listening to those.

Is America perfect?  No.  But we try to get better all the time.  Mostly we succeed.  People still risk their lives to come here, many of them in violation of our laws, so somebody must like it here.  

How does breaking into somebody's store and burning it down or stealing a car or shooting some poor bastard down in the street make it better for people like George Floyd?  Maybe one of these "protesters" can answer that for me.
