Biden fans the flames of US division
by Frederick Edward, The Conservative Woman:
THE chances of Derek Chauvin having a fair trial were never great. With the world combusting into a fit of moral panic after the death of Saint George Floyd – police and politicians alike indulging in the mandatory knee-taking – the odds against were decidedly lengthened.
Five days after jury selection began, a $27million civil case brought by the Floyd family was approved by the City of Minneapolis, an action that clearly cast a judgment on Chauvin, biasing court proceedings.
Then we have Maxine Waters, the Democratic Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district, whose lack of eloquence and reasoning skills is matched only by the invariably vile things that come out of her doddery mouth.
On the eve of jury deliberations, Waters announced to a crowd of rioters-in-waiting: ‘We’re looking for a guilty verdict. And if we don’t, we cannot go away. We’ve got to get more confrontational.’
I’m no legal expert, but to me that stinks of incitement to violence. Of course, Waters has form on such an issue, with her memorably egging on a crowd in 2018 to harass and confront any members of the Trump administration found in public.
Then there are the other standard low-information politicians who can be relied upon to trot out the dullest of dull takes. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose musings would be perfectly at home in a sixth-form common room but who is decidedly tedious in the real world, is saying that this guilty verdict isn’t enough: the other policemen must be brought to trial, too. Such is the way of things. Those huckstering for perpetual Race War will never rest, because it is ultimately a full-scale revolution they are selling you.
Perhaps the greatest clanger – one of many down the road to the US becoming a fully fledged banana republic – was courtesy of Joe Robinette Biden. As the jury were sent to decide on their verdict, the President took to the airwaves to say that he was ‘praying’ for the ‘right verdict’: a guilty one. In his view, the evidence in favour of such an outcome was ‘overwhelming’.
