Do you think he is happy of his newfound fame?


Heroes only dream of achieving his status of posthumous fame and recognition.

He ain't no hero, so I wonder if he would give a crap about the millions his family is receiving and about his own international celebrity. Or about the impact his killing had on politics.

Had he had a choice on the matter, do you think he would be glad to accept the deal he got?

reply

He´s in hell so no I doubt he is happy.

reply

So he would have preferred to live longer and possibly do something better with his life than getting murdered?
But he DID something few men achieve in their life, he is a symbol, so what else could he do more than that?

reply

He didn't do it. The insane liberals did.

reply

Napoleon never conquered haf Europe. His army did. So?

reply

Except that Napoleon's army conquered half of Europe due to his strategic brilliance.

reply

Of course.
The insane liberals built this whole deal due to his brutal demise.
He is as essential in this as Napoleon was in that.

reply

He is only essential as a tool by the left to make more baseless accusations of racism. The truth is the overwhelming number of black murders are by other black people. If black lives really do matter then they should be addressing that. Not the police. The police have to fear for their lives from black people than the reverse.
It's hard to respect black people when they ignore facts. Then they loot stores. They walk into stores with large plastic bag and start filling it up. In the middle of the day. When the business is open.
How do you respect people who do that? And then they call it reparations. All it does is drive businesses out of poor neighborhoods and drive up the cost of living.
How many elderly black people had to find other ways to get their prescriptions refilled because young black people forced businesses to shutdown?
Remember that elderly black woman in the wake of the Minneapolis riots, crying at a corner, because her supermarket had been looted by BLM and there was nothing for her to get and she had no way to go to another store because the buses were forced to shutdown?
Oh, but some white people decided to help her. They not only drove her to another grocery store. They not only bought her groceries for her. But they drove her home, and took the groceries up to her apartment. And they have been doing it all throughout this pandemic for other elderly people.
What has BLM done to help people? Nothing except loot and riot and attack people. They just want the donations to keep flowing in. Mansions be expensive!

reply

All this stuff you wrote is irrelevant here.

reply

I know. Because the truth is always irrelevant to liberals.

reply

You have no way of knowing if he is in hell or heaven or where he may or may not be. It seems in very poor taste to assume that someone who was murdered is in hell.

reply

He was in jail 8 times and was on numerous drugs at his time of death before he was about to drive home. He didn't deserve to die, but he was a bad person who kept getting chance after chance. He surely wasn't going to heaven.

reply

Unless you are God, you really can't say definitely if someone is in heaven or hell or wherever.

reply

Not really. I'm going to hell and I'm not God.

reply

He died in his sins. He is in hell. John 15:8. I wouldnt exactly call his life, one that "bore fruit".
Jesus also said, "My sheep hear my voice, they follow me". Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise Floyd didnt follow Christ.

reply

I think you mean Chauvin is in hell, for the next 22.5 years...

reply

Chauvin is still alive though. He has a chance to repent in prison.

reply

What makes you think he is a devout Christian? Most people aren't nowadays.

reply

Never said he was, but he has a chance to repent while he is still alive (therefore avoiding hell), George Floyd does not.

reply

If he's not a devout Christian, then he won't be repenting and probably doesn't believe in hell.

reply

If he was indeed a Christian, he wouldn´t need to repent to be saved since he would have already done so, not that I think he is one. Whether he ends up a believer or not is not up to us but God.

reply

You know not everyone believes in god and hell, right?

reply

Seems like he is not mentioned anymore.

reply

He is permanently part of American history, like Rosa Parks.
Does not have to be in the news 24/7.

reply

Rosa Parks wasn't a lowlife criminal. He was nothing like Rosa Parks.

reply

She was not.
He is.
That is half the point he made, otherwise it would be nothing new.

reply

Well he has been off drugs for over a year now. I think his head will be clear now for positive thinking.

reply

Since he is deceased, I don't think it matters. Fame has a 15 minute half life anyways.

reply

So what about ANY hero in history? Wanna tell them "since you are going to be deceased, I don't think what you do matters. Fame has a 15 minute half life anyways"?

reply

Pretty much.

reply

Well Pelosi thanked him for dying so it’s possible

reply

He would gladly die to get pelosi to thank him?

reply

He would've been glad to not have to steal to get high on fentanyl for once... but that's about it. Any money he could've made from public appearances, would've probably been spent on drugs, resulting in death just a couple weeks after his arrest from overdose.

And that would be his legacy. A man who could've turned things around with the newfound fame and clout he had, but chose to piss it all away by continuing to do drugs instead. George Floyd was, and always will be, a loser.

reply

Maybe he was a loser in life, but he certainly turned that around with his death.
Big time.
Is that a good deal?

reply

George Floyd didn't do anything heroic, and he turned nothing around by dying. The media did that. He was still a loser in death.

reply

Nope, he is as important as the media around it.
He didn't do anything heroic, but had he been a different person in any way, or had his action been different than what he did, we would have none of the result.
So, there you go: loser in life - symbol after death.

reply

How long do you think he will be this symbol? Maybe until the next story comes along?

reply

Forever.

reply

I doubt that.

But we'll have to agree to disagree.

reply

He wouldn’t understand any of it anyway. He would think it was some drug fueled delusion.

reply

In African America, criminals are the heroes. That's why Michael Brown is one of the great black heroes, probably surpassing MLK. He knocked over a convenience store, assaulted its owner, tried to take a gun from a police officer, then came at him again when that officer tried to arrest him.
