  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  From the author of your link:

  It was a video everyone in the courtroom has been shown repeatedly, of George Floyd facedown on the street with Derek Chauvin’s knee on his neck

  The video I posted presents evidence that challenges the narrative that George Floyd died because of Chauvin's knee allegedly pressing against his neck for 9 minutes.

  This is what the media have done - they've spun it that Chauvin's knee was pressed against Floyd's neck for nine minutes, killing him. From another angle, we see Chauvin's knee was pressed against Floyd's shoulders.

  ^^^ This is reasonable doubt that Chauvin murdered Floyd by pressing his knee against Floyd's neck, no?

  @FFGhost - Dr Martin Tobin says in your link that Chauvin had his knee pressed down on Floyd's neck but elsewhere in this thread I've posted a youtube video showing photographic evidence that shows Chauvin's knee was across Floyd's shoulders.

  What do you make of this photographic evidence?

  Well, so much for the "died by overdose" defense attempt - the prosecution are alleging murder. In a US court, murder has to be established beyond reasonable doubt.

  There's quite a lot of stuff posted here which is reasonable doubt that Chauvin murdered George Floyd.

  Another video from Shapiro.

  Apparently, George Floyd's partner has admitted that she recently had to take Floyd to hospital because he was feeling unwell due to his drug habit.

  Plus, the prosecution won't offer Floyd's drug dealer immunity in exchange for him to take the witness stand.

  Interesting …

  Does Politics Affect Your Entertainment Decisions and Choices?

  if coke disturbed you because of a certain stance would you stop buying coke?

  would you stop watching a sport if a certain view was politicized?.

  would you boycott a certain product because you did not agree with the corporation’s opinions?

  Does Politics Affect Your Entertainment Decisions and Choices? - er, not really.

  I think it's best to separate the art from the artist in most cases.

  E.g. I like Rosemary's Baby (1968) and Chinatown (1974), even though director Roman Polanski allegedly had sex with at least one underage girl.

  If I find a piece of art to be excellent, I'll like it.

  Let personal bias and prejudices begin - of course there are biases and prejudices … on both sides.

  Lots of people have called Chauvin a murderer before the trial even began. <---- those people are prejudiced and biased, too, right Snare?

  The cops are at fault here - do black people have any agency and responsibilities?

  I feel the need to ask because it's unclear from your comments what you think on this matter ...

  Avatar (2009) - a mixed-bag but entertaining movie

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so a few months ago i saw avatar (2009) from beginning to end for the first time.. if i'd seen this when i was ten, i'd probably have loved it.

  i find the film entertaining but i do have issues with it.. the movie is beautiful to look at, and there's definitely some interesting concepts.. but star wars it ain't.. first issue, the na'vi: these are blue-skinned humanoids with tails.. my first question is: why do blue monkeys who live 5 light years away on an extrasolar moon have african accents?!.

  i know what writer/director james cameron is doing in this film.

  What is amazing about Avatar is that it's the highest grossing movie of all time and yet it's had almost zero influence on society - I'm almost tempted to view it as a video game, not a movie, lol.
