You declare he died of speedballing.


That's awfully easy to do when a) he had huge amounts of meth and fentanyl in his bloodstream and b) his own predictions of his imminent death long preceded the Knee of Doom. But of course there's no massive bias or politicization to see here:

I'm at least glad that, as of 2022, news outlets figured out "oh, right, people recognize this guy was a piece of garbage" and didn't try to turn his fatal overdose into a sickening annual religious holiday anymore.

Nothing to say one way or the other about the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal or the actions of antifa "revolutionaries". I'd like to see an opinion here.



Whether or not I have anything to say to you - a guy who came here to be a hostile shit-stirrer - about any given topic is completely disconnected logically from any position I may or may not take on an event or factor of the world.

But nice try putting yourself narcissistically at the centre of my personal beliefs.


I'd be more inclined to assign that sort of behavior to trying to sound smart phrases such as "endogenously idiotic" (???) but your unwillingness to be consistent about valuing what the courts do or don't say is noted.

Incidentally, just in case you thought anyone here was too dense to see your absurdly transparent bad faith engagement - it was you who brought up George Floyd in this thread, engaged in a little fan fiction, then the moment you were challenged with facts you immediately started tossing out more distractions.

It's not subtle in the slightest - it's the exact same form of bad faith argumentation you always use.

Well, you brought up abortion and COVID face masks first, so I thought it would only be fitting that I shouldn't have to wear the latter if the Second Coming of Christ didn't have to either.

No, I acknowledge that I don't think that "the courts said so" is always an ironclad indicator of the truth. That's your stance, not mine, and it requires you to admit that Kyle Rittenhouse was legitimately let off the hook. Well, what is it then?

So you still want to challenge the fact that coroner reports stated Floyd died as a result of the police interaction, which the court accepted, and which Chauvin pleaded guilty to?

If the coroner reports are not true, then you must have detailed medical evidence to substantiate your claim, right? Not just a political persuasion motivating you to decree what's real?

So His Holiness Big Floyd wasn't out there killing grandma with COVID in his system and doing absolutely nothing we were all told to do to prevent that from happening?

You have a very naïve view of the justice system if you think a guilty plea always means "ha! got you!" Aaron Swartz refused a guilty plea (which was principled but unwise of him) and later committed suicide because of impending draconian criminal penalties bearing down on him for uploading a huge bunch of academic articles online. (First "martyr of dataism", as Yuval Noah Harari put it.) You're doing nothing to help yourself here.

But anyway: Kyle Rittenhouse: let off the hook, certainly. Rightly or wrongly?

I thought I already made this clear, but I'll recap:

  • Wasn't "staying the fuck home"
  • Wasn't wearing a mask
  • Wasn't socially distancing
  • Had COVID

Checked off every single box for being a COVID grandma killer. If the Second Coming of Christ can do it, why can't I?

As we can all see: I wrote "I think a guilty plea means 'ha got you!' - oh wait

With regards to whether I am 'helping myself' - this is all part of the motivating delusion that there's something at stake here beyond you electing to be a hostile asshat to a bunch of strangers on the internet. Actively seeking out people to be hostile to - is that 'helping you'?

Yes, this is wittering bollocks. All you're doing is the verbal equivalent of energetically waving your arms around.

It's just another transparent attempt at distraction from your repeated lies pretending that he died of speedballing rather than being murdered by the police as per the coroner's report and the court's decision.

Chauvin pleaded guilty because he knew he was guilty; whether his plea was cynical, in the sense of hoping for reduced sentence, or honest in that he felt the need to make amends, I don't know - but you don't plead guilty to a crime resulting in life in prison unless you recognize that the evidence is not on your side, and that you will be found guilty anyway.

Wonder what topic on the brain-dead, social media invigorated, American culture war is next.

Let's do the whole lot, shall we?

No, you're right, and I am a vile asshole. I am, in fact, the biggest asshole in the world. I am in fact such a horrific asshole that anything I have to say about actually being consistent about what you seem to think the law entails should immediately be tossed away and should never be spoken of again. And that is why I require a certain degree of seniority before I have the gall to point out that hurling insults is actually against the rules. Not sure exactly what level of tenure is needed, but you've set me on the right path at least.

That's definitely why Aaron Swartz killed himself and also, uh, you've still had nothing to say about the immaculate acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
