In modern America, we periodically offer up white men as human sacrifices to the PC gods. Among our benefactions: Jake Gardner, Kyle Rittenhouse, Darren Wilson, the Duke lacrosse players, University of Virginia fraternity members, Stacey Koon and Mark Fuhrman.
The rest of us just keep our heads down and pray we wont be next.
At least the Duke and UVA human offerings were sufficiently upper-crust to have a few journalists and lawyers defending them. But policemen, bar owners, military veterans and a Midwest teenager? Definitely not our crowd, darling.
Currently, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck, as it appeared in cellphone videos. You may remember something about this: Its why America had to burn in 2020.
In the darkest days of Jim Crow, the entire country never ganged up on a single individual like this. But the chief medical examiners report establishes that, however else Floyd died, it wasnt from Chauvins knee. Oopsie! I guess it wasnt absolutely essential that our country go through eight months of looting, riots and mostly peaceful arsons.
In lieu of citing some B.S. media fact check, I shall quote directly from the autopsy report by the Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner, Andrew Baker:
No life-threatening injuries identified
A. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae
B. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures
C. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries
D. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries
E. Incision and subcutaneous dissection of posterior and lateral neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and buttocks negative for occult trauma
In short: No bloodshot eyes and no trauma to any part of Floyds neck.
And yet, day after day, prosecutors, witnesses and the media tell us that Chauvin squeezed the life out of Floyd. The medical evidence establishes that whatever else caused his death, it was NOT asphyxiation.
Thats the entire case against Officer Chauvin! But the howling mob isnt giving up its holy religious observance because of one dork in a lab coat. The sun might not rise! The city of Minneapolis could be wiped out! Wait that might actually happen.
The medical examiner also found that Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system I dont want to say to kill a horse, because that would be a cliche. But it would be enough to bump off an entire team of Budweiser Clydesdales. In technical medical jargon:
A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:
1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
Thats just the first few words of the Toxicology section. Also listed are norfentanyl, 4-ANPP, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and so on.
But the 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl is rather important, inasmuch as the chief medical examiner called this a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances, saying, deaths have been certified with levels of 3.
Three. But George Floyd went up to 11.
Naturally, Baker was quick to add, I am not saying this killed him. Please dont throw me to the woke gods! Leave me to my test tubes! (And you thought lawyers were craven.)
I have a feeling were about to see another example of the left not accepting science.
In addition to liberals refusing to accept the science of:
DNA (the O.J. trial)
AIDS (were still waiting for that big heterosexual outbreak!)
Cancer clusters and breast implants (billions of dollars wasted and companies destroyed because of the lefts adherence to junk science)
I.Q. (just watch the reaction to my mentioning this hate-science)
we can now add pharmacology!
You mean to say that just by sticking a syringe in someones arm you can tell if hes been taking drugs? Thats a lot of mumbo-jumbo, just like the moon landing.
This trial is a total sham, but the entire power of the state, the media, the left-wing shock troops and the countrys finest legal talent is being deployed against Derek Chauvin.
In addition to Minnesotas top prosecutor, the state has hired Neal Katyal, former solicitor general of the United States an unheard-of maneuver in a case that doesnt involve some highly technical specialty, like antitrust. A slew of lawyers are working pro bono for the prosecutor also unheard of. The state has unlimited resources to pursue Chauvin.
Against this, Chauvin has one lone defense attorney, Eric Atticus Finch Nelson. The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Associations legal defense fund will put up to $1 million toward his defense, and Nelson can talk to the other rotating attorneys whom the fund employs. But unless theyre working pro bono, too, $1 million runs out pretty fast.
The legal mismatch in the O.J. Simpson case wasnt this one-sided.
In the middle of jury selection, the city of Minneapolis announced an eye-popping civil settlement of $27 million with the family of George Floyd. Liberals are still denouncing Richard Nixon for a 1970 speech in which he inadvertently described defendant Charles Manson as someone who was guilty, directly or indirectly, of eight murders leading to demands for a mistrial.
What does a $27 million settlement with the family of the alleged victim say?
Black residents of Minneapolis are threatening to burn the place down if Chauvin isnt convicted and the only reason anyone thinks a jury could possibly return a guilty verdict is that they believe them.
In the darkest days of Jim Crow, the entire country never ganged up on a single individual like this.
Please, gods of wokeness, we ask that his human sacrifice be acceptable!
Throw another virgin into the volcano.
