Blog:My reaction to George Floyd's death

Hey guys. So I made this blog back on AYTW just like the rest of the repost blogs I've been quickly reposting. And with the George Floyd's death back in May happened, here's my reaction to it, and my thoughts on the protests. Floyd's Death So I think that George Floyd's murder by the police officer is a horrifying one at that, and my heart goes out to the family of Floyd. The fact that there's police getting away shit like this pisses me off. As for the riots...

The Riots
At one point I thought the riots were helping, but I've recently changed that opinion. That is especially because I don't agree with burning down businesses, particularly small, family-owned businesses such as a local restuarant or shop. Those people don't have as much money as a corporation like Target or McDonald's, and burning their businesses down would end up having them with no way to provide for their families.

The Reaction to all this
When I say reaction, I particularly mean the reactions of some people who say the killing was justified. They might also immediately keep bringing up the cases of Daniel Shaver, who died in 2016. Daniel was shot by an officer like Floyd was, and the officer wasn't arrested. Anti-SJWs have used his death or the recently found death of Tony Timpa to say "bLm DoEsN't CaRe FoR wHiTe LiVeS aT aLl", despite that Shaver's case made national news, and Black Lives Matter activists held protests for him and a candlelight vigil dedicated to Daniel. As for Tony Timpa, I don't know what the reaction to his death yet. But the Anti-SJWs might also mock the rioters and consider them ungrateful or whatever. And lastly, they like to keep saying, "bUt GeOrGe FlOyD wAs a CrImInAl!", so that justified his death via asphyxiation? It doesn't.

Conclusion
Well those are my thoughts on George Floyd's death, the riots, and how people tried to justify this killing. Check out my other blog posts if you would like.
