I've been hesitant to ask this, but any thoughts on Chauvin [View all]

committing a slow purposeful murder of a black man, in front of many witnesses in broad daylight, with the intention of launching a race war? I mean, that's the only motive that makes sense to me. I'm immensely relieved that he was found guilty; but there never was an answer to 'why'.

In addition to the obvious, that chauvin is a disgusting, murdering, racist, power tripping sadist, niyad Apr 2021 #11

I have wondered about that myself. dflprincess Apr 2021 #12

I doubt it. He's racist as hell, but comes across as kind of a dumbass. Politicub Apr 2021 #13

If so, he failed. The poll cited here today found only 13% thought he's not guilty. Hoyt Apr 2021 #14

No, I think Chauvin had a personal grudge against Floyd Raine Apr 2021 #15
