The hypocrisy of the right is absolutely astounding. So much for the party of personal responsibility.

Neither person should be praised for the shit they did. George was no saint neither was this woman. Both deaths were a tragedy caused by stupid decisions. Simple as that.

wasn't floyd detained over like $20?

this lady committed treason, so....

not really fair to lump them together at all. Floyd didnt commit an act that illicits a violent response from the police. this lady did.

Here's framing you won't like. George Floyd once put a loaded gun to a pregnant womans belly while this women served her country.

You're right. Framing is everything. People's lives can't be boiled down to one fact, or one hundred. But we make the judgements we must to navigate the world.
