    George Floyd was the fuse that blew up the COVID- 19 powder keg. 40 million unemployed and you wonder why people are rioting? This is purely a creation of the government that so many of you worship.

    If it weren't for the lock down Chauvin would have had more encounters with potential counterfeiters and would have more practice adjusting the pressure on his knee. He would have been more sensitive and Floyd could have survived.

    The killing didn't have to happen. The lockdown didn't have to happen.

    A little long, but worth the watch. It talks about the domino effect of these times.

    Yeah, and their authoritarian politics is exactly what lead to these riots. Meanwhile, their supporters are sitting there doing their best Alfred E. Newman.

    Brilliant- thank you!

    In America street riots can never occur without the complicity of police and government.
