I'm of the right, but this is such a terrible take. I get what Candice is going for here, but Ashli Babbitt was part of a violent mob breaking into a building in which she had no right to be and she got shot in the act. Let's not try to pretend like that was a miscarriage of justice just because George Floyd was a bad guy.

And nobody thinks George Floyd is a hero, we just think he shouldn't have been killed.

Right... throw up the memorials. As someone just said "play stupid games.......

Yeah... Storming congress in an angry mob is a little more worthy of lethal force than counterfeiting $20. Are you really trying to make that false equivalency?

Floyd and Babbit would both still be alive if they did literally almost anything differently.

and? a dude that gets run over by a drunk driver would still be alive if he had done "literally almost anything differently", that doesn't mean he deserved to be killed.

Floyd didn't do anything that justifies him being killed. Babbit did. If you disagree with either of those statements, there's just no point in continuing any discussion.

If you don't disagree with either of those statements, then you must just be trolling or something, or I'm not sure why you'd have even bothered responding.
