SAINT GEORGE'S DEATH: GOOD RIDDANCE

 By Howie Katz

 

On the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, the career criminal is again being memorialized by his Houston family and friends, as well as by the ever obliging media.

 

Floyd has been bestowed with sainthood by the likes of race baiter Al Sharpton who presided at his funerals in Raeford, North Carolina and in Houston..

 

Saint George must be rolling over with laughter in his Houston grave.

 

But Floyd was no saint. He was a career criminal who served four years in a Texas prison after his conviction for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. His death in Minneapolis resulted during his arrest for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. 

 

The autopsy showed that at the time of that arrest, Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl as well as methamphetamine in his system. The meth is what probably kept him alive by counteracting against the effects of the fentanyl.

 

Floyd's death led to Black Lives Matter riots all over the country with rioters screaning "Justice for George Floyd." Those riots were the reason Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was tried and convicted of murder.

 

Had Chauvin been black, there would have been no BLM riots and he would not have been charged with any crime. Justice for Derek Chuvin, the victim of a political lynching, demands that he be pardoned by both the President of the United States and the Governor of Minnesota.

 

As for Saint George's death ... Good riddance.
