Honestly, a part of me wants this to happen because I believe it would cause some serious protests.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but i believe that is the point.
You conspiracy theorist!
I think it’s a reasonable assessment of the current situation. He wants/they want to put us in a situation where our military must or can be used to restore order. They want to normalize military use against US citizens.
On the plus side civil unrest in the US requiring a stronger domestic military presence means the US may have less support to wage war on other countries. That’s easier to do when the population is calmly falling in line.
It’ll be interesting to see how the next week or so plays out.
can’t wait to be interested
A possible motive is to push the power of the executive. If Trump can somehow seize this power, there’s nothing that can stop him.
That or just trying to embolden the police, but I’m guessing it’s even worse than that.
A gun. A gun can stop him. They work well. American has more guns than people, and a second amendment designed to stop this nonsense when needed.
It’s needed.
No arguments from me bud
I’d say it’s to embolden police and violent racists, in hope of helping encouraging their race war to destabilize the country so that they can divy it up.
The interesting lack of forethought from the oligarchic billionaires is that their billions mean nothing without the US dollar and NYSE. Their majority of their hoards of wealth are not backed by anything tangible that could be of use in the event that the US dollar ceases to be relevant. I suppose that this kind of thought isn’t likely to occur to sociopaths that were born with platinum spoons in their mouths.
Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.
The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.
And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.
And of course, they don’t want us to see that. So they’re doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.
Flyod’s toxicology report says otherwise. Dude had lethal limits of opitates in his system. He was going through fore-boding immediately when they got him out of the squad car. It is hard to watch a person die, but he was having issues a couple of minutes they got his out of his vehicle.
He had lethal limits of pig pressing down on his wind pipe.
I watched the footage. I disagree.
I suggest getting your eyes checked
Was he convicted federally, or is Musk just generating distractions for the news media?
He has a federal conviction for 20 years and a state conviction for 22.5 years

State charges might have been dropped due to the federal convention so he could possibly still have a state trial
If the charges were dropped then I don’t think they can be re-litigated. That would be double jeopardy.
Most likely wouldn’t apply unless a state trial had already started.
Why not give Zimmerman a Presidential Medal of Freedom while you’re at it?
Ever see the south park episode on that?
Actually, no haha
“How can we cause larger riots than what happened after a George Floyd was murdered?”
elon can fuck right off with this bullshit
I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the comments that I’d see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren’t there. I hadn’t even thought about those comments until I got the end.
How bad?
what
So which company building we burning down first? I vote for Wal-Mart.
How about a Tesla building? Or a government building?
Tesla do that on their own. If we did their building, people will think it was the same way.
Government build hurts the people. We will have to rebuild it again. Plus I want a building that will improve the community and a Wal-Mart building will accomplish that.
Tesla do that on their own.
Not often enough
Frankly, I’m surprised he hasn’t already.
They’re trying to Reichstag fire up their own Reichstag fire. Martial law in America as a toe dip for their invasion of Canada.
Couldn’t he only be pardoned for the federal level conviction and not the state? Looking at his Wikipedia article, he has a 21 year fed sentence and a 22.5 state.
But yeah, this is a way to force violent protests and eventually martial law.
IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.
Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).
Which would be a crying shame, of course…
Maybe it won’t be protests this time and just 30,000 people turning his body into something that doesn’t resemble a human.

Chauvin would join Kash Himmler’s near future SA or NKVD private security detail. The single finger salute goes out to the neo-Nazis and their Government of Putin supporters.
I think the ultimate goal is martial law, and I think he is unconcerned about what triggers his ability to declare it.
