Anyone Been Watching The Derek Chauvin Trial?

[Spicerack]

I presume we're allowed to talk about it as it's all live-streamed on US tv.

[pixie374]

Zacs, no. You don't have to answer of course, but I will ask, depending on what you say.
For the rest, see above link- although there is much more on Google.

[Zacs-Master]

I've seen all the links, heard all the accusations and once again, I'd state that the jury is still out.

You have every right to ask but please don't make up stuff which is utter crap in the hope that it will further your argument because it, in fact, does the reverse.

[Zacs-Master]

No, I just know scum when I see it.

You also said earlier that "it would be ridiculous to say so"... and now you're fine with it... odd.

George Floyd was a human being Zacs... not a terribly likable one, and certainly not a good person. But he was human. He did the time for his earlier crimes and expressed remorse for them. He also uploaded videos acknowledging that he had done wrong and trying to get younger people in his community away from violence.

I do not believe it is "a good thing" as you put it for difficult or unlikable people to be killed (accidentally or otherwise) in the street. If you do believe that then I'm afraid you are a psychopath.

The current witness has used a slide saying half of Chauvin's body weight was on Floyd and the figure he used was 91.5lb, meaning Chauvin is thirteen stone not the ten stone previously claimed.

I have made nothing up, zacs. I've posted facts, given opinions and asked questions.
Not wanting to answer, does not mean they are "made up".
You still, seem to be trying to compare the two, as to which is worst. Do you think it's at all possible, that actually, neither are desirable?

[Zacs-Master]

'You also said earlier that "it would be ridiculous to say so"... and now you're fine with it... odd.'

Could you clarify exactly where I've contradicted myself?

Pix, you've stated the following in conversation with me, no of which I suggested or stated.

‘are you suggesting Chauvin knew... and deliberately did society a favour.’

‘I also don't think that people who do bad things necessarily deserve to die'

‘are you absolutely sure he is an exemplary citizen himself?’
‘are you one of these who believes someone's "job" means they can be less moral than the general public, because they are "important"?’

‘You still seem to be suggesting that if someone is killed- but turn out to be a criminal, that the "lucky outcome" absolves the killer?’

I'll debate with you but please knock it off with the completely innacurate interpretation of my words.

Untitled.......nothing wrong in being a psychopath.

All witnesses are singing from the same hymn sheet, both police and medical. Well prepared and tutored.

Tomorrow is a big day when the autopsy findings are debated........the defence's last role of the dice.

[Zacs-Master]

Untitled, it would clearly be crazy to say that people who did bad things (and here's the important word you used) 'necessarily' deserve to die. Do you see the subtle difference?

[Zacs-Master]

Indeed, sqad. Untitled says it like it's a bad thing!

[pixie374]

Not all of those are mine, zacs- but all that are- are actual questions. You just said you understood the difference. Asking you a question, is not putting words in your mouth.

[pixie374]

Sqad, there is if you are a police officer- and need some kind of human empathy. Psychopaths are best with computers.

[Zacs-Master]

Which isn't yours, Pix?

Asking me a question which is a lazy interpretation of what and asking me if I meant that is EXACTLY that.

// I'd state that the jury is still out.//
oh god I wish people wd make sense
the jury isnt out
it is still in

oh you mean metaphorically huh - - I say the jury is out when it is still hearing the case - yup OK AB on a normal day again

[Zacs-Master]

sorry, ....of what I wrote....

[Zacs-Master]

It's just a phrase meant to mean the verdict isn't in, PP. The last thing this thread needs is more inaccurate interpretation of my words.
