The Left Is Peddling A Lie

I have been watching the rioting, looting, calls to defund the police, and other horrible and evil behavior surrounding the death of George Floyd at the hands of police.  His funeral was so grandiose as to make it seem like a President of the United States, a Pope, or other world leader.  It is helpful to remember that George Floyd had an extensive criminal record, as noted in this report at The American Partisan entitled The Making Of A Martyr (For All The Wrong Reasons) Once again, the Left has taken a position and spun up people world wide to loot, riot, and destroy the lives of numerous innocent people for a horrible case like Floyd. Not that the behavior is either right or moral, but the lease they could do is wait for a sympathetic case.

Make no mistake, here.  I do not believe that Floyd deserved to die.  The officer had him controlled, and handcuffed, so should not have kept his weight on Floyd's neck choking him.  Nothing noted above justifies the officer's actions.  But the officer has been charged, and we shoulld all wait to see if justice will be done.

The fact is that the subject of the Left's ire discredits the entire enterprise.  Floyd was engaged in a criminal act, one that fits will a long record of other criminal acts.  By working so hard to make a martyr of George Floyd, the Left has lied to the American people, and in so doing have shown that the entire enterprise is one big lie.  No one should be even remotely sympathetic with the goals of the Left, whether it is BLM or the fascist Antifa.  They are peddling a lie.
