It disturbed me that the majority of the posters on the trial thread were very clearly rooting for Chauvin the same way we root for A&M in a football game. The attitude was that he was the good guy and Floyd was the bad guy. Not everyone was like that but that was the general theme.Wrec86 Ag said:
As someone who is in the middle, I thought it was painfully obvious he was going to be guilty of everything short of the big one.... and that was 50/50 in my eyes.
The right wing groupthink on this board is painful.
We all know Floyd was no angel but it was disturbing seeing people defend Chauvin kneeling on the neck for over 9 minutes like that was somehow acceptable behavior. I sometimes thought they were doing that just as a reaction to the left making a martyr out of Floyd.
For what it's worth i predicted a manslaughter conviction and no more.
