A Worthwhile Review

 

A few years ago, after more than one failure, I decided to no longer comment on current stories immediately, unless my views were contrary to the narrative found in establishment sources.  The last straw was my immediate comment on the death of Goerge Floyd, and my mea culpa two months later.  Those of you who have ben around here for a few years will remember this history. 

Why bring this up now?  There is a video out on Rumble: "The Fall of Minneapolis."  Take ninety minutes to watch it.  Yes, for those who have paid attention to the development of this story, there will not be much that is new.  But someone took the time to put it all together in one place.

Well, some things are new (at least since the first few months of the story) – or at least worth seeing: the body camera footage that was not made available until months after the event – after the mostly peaceful riots during the summer of 2020 already took their toll; interviews with several Minneapolis police officers who retired shortly after the events; an interview of Chauvin’s mother; a reminder of the lying on the witness stand; a reminder of the cowardliness of local officials and corruption of national politicians and others; phone interviews with Chauvin and one other of the police officers now in prison.

In many ways it is heart wrenching; in other ways it is blood-boiling. 

Yes, God has turned His face from this country.  Of this there is no doubt.  Fallen man is left to his own devices; there is no safety net.
