Law Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk plea for Derek Chauvin to get pardoned

[SuperLuigi]

It would make more sense to go with Officer Wilson or maybe Zimmerman. Chauvin will never be less than a monster to 60% of society.

 

[rocketskates]

I mean credit to him for providing an A-ha moment during covid. When a bunch of us realized oh yeah , theyre fuckjng with us. Too dangerous to go to work but hey it's okay to protest racial inequality in large crowds.

The fires killed the virus.

What a wild time that was. I remember one chief of police laid down and let a protestor pretend to kneel on his neck. He should’ve been fired on the spot.

 

[fedoriswar37]

And your fake news source even mentions that fentanyl played a role, so I’m not sure why you shot down that accusation.

“while Floyd suffered from heart disease, and fentanyl and methamphetamine found in his blood may have played a role in the death, they “were not direct causes.”

This is one of those , " man makes wrong turn into Christmas parade" conclusions.

Twilight zone shit.

 

[LangfordBarrow]

I'd like to see the power of the pardon done away on the federal and state level.

I'd like for people to stop voting so partisanly and start voting for people with character and integrity.

 

[Sinister]

Yeah, nobody was lionizing Floyd in this thread….Strange to bring up.

Your main contention has to be that the black man was indeed a bad man. Once you repeat that enough times THEN they might let you discuss Cops having the power to publicly execute citizens.

Dont ask why that's a qualifier.

Just comply

 

[Koro_11]

Yeah, those guys deserve the same sentences as Chauvin. Why aren’t you protesting for it?

OK, then don’t tell me I’m the one making this a partisan issue when it’s always been a partisan issue.

 

[italiamusica]

Lol at anyone justifying this, but I guess it makes sense, the Jan 6th people were pardoned and they lead to the death of people, so no one cares. Everyone saw the video, Chauvin killed him, releasing a murderer just because you think it's politically motivated is the dumbest fucking logic ever. He killed someone, that's kind of the end of the story.

 

[filthybliss]

Well, you were. Do you care about the victim there or were you just using them as a talking point? I think all police brutality is bad. I don't make excuses for it but you seem to do based on the color of the person.

You see he wasn't trying to kill him. He just kneeled on the mans neck for 10 minutes despite him begging for air....

This was people are contesting this lol

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has launched a campaign urging President Donald Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd.

Chauvin was separately convicted in both Minnesota state court and federal court in 2021.

Legally, Trump could pardon Chauvin for his federal conviction. However, Chauvin’s state conviction for second-degree murder in Minnesota lies outside Trump’s reach, as it requires state-level action.

A federal pardon may still impact Chauvin's time served. Currently, his 22.5-year state sentence and 21-year federal sentence run concurrently. But Minnesota’s early-release policies could potentially reduce his time to 15 years, assuming good behavior.

Shapiro, in an open letter to Trump, argued that Chauvin was "unjustly convicted" and is now "rotting in prison" because of political pressure.

"Make no mistake—the Derek Chauvin conviction represents the defining achievement of the Woke movement in American politics," he wrote. "The country cannot turn the page on that dark, divisive, and racist era without righting this terrible wrong."

Shapiro further contended that "there was no opportunity for blind justice to work" because "the Mayor of Minneapolis pre-judged the outcome of the trial and immediately issued a large settlement to the Floyd family. Then-President Biden, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and others pre-judged the outcome of the trial and took to national media to create pressure on the jury to go along with their preferred narrative."

Shapiro discussed his effort over video as welland said his website — Daily Wire — will be covering the issue extensively over the coming weeks.

Elon Musk — the billionaire entrepreneur and senior advisor to Trump — reposted Shapiro's video on social media platform X, stating "something to think about."

Federal prosecutors who secured Chauvin’s conviction argued that, as a police officer, his use of excessive force and failure to provide medical care directly led to Floyd’s death.

Chauvin pleaded guilty to violating Floyd's U.S. civil rights in federal court in December 2021. He had initially pleaded not guilty earlier that fall.

Chauvin pleaded guilty to a three-count indictment alleging that he:

• Pressed his left knee on Floyd’s neck and his right knee on Floyd’s back and arm while Floyd was handcuffed and not resisting.
• Continued to apply pressure even after Floyd became unresponsive.
• Violated Floyd’s constitutional right to be free from excessive force by a police officer
• Willfully deprived Floyd of his right to due process, which includes protection from a police officer’s deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs

I think the WR can agree pardoning a murderer to just own the “woke” is a fucking stupid idea.

I saw the headline and thought,
"No way anyone supports this."

an execution, online no less


motherfuckers are straight taking off their hoods in this thread

Why are you misrepresenting what I’m actually saying?

Do you think I care about the race of the victim, you throw this accusation out but do you honestly believe that? Or am I only mentioning it to point out the double standard that you still refuse to acknowledge?

 

[Xanzito]

If you think Biden pardoning his son is so awful. You should oppose this guy literally murdering someone and getting pardoned for this….

you do know that Biden pardoned multiple murderers on death's row, right? No politics involved in any of the cases being pardoned either, right? Just... plain murderers.

 

[AmonTobin]

They’re rage baiting. Their martyr isn’t going anywhere. Justice is being served. Moving along.

 

[idrankyourbeer]

he was convicted federally and on the state level too. despite all the virtue signalling coming from the bigot party, all a trump pardon would do would have that murderer moved from a federal to a state prison. in order to get a pardon at the state level it has to be granted through the minnesota state governor and their state board of pardons.

he also lost his appeal and the scotus told him to fuck off. the best he can hope for is to be kept protected in solitary 24/7 for the rest of his stay just so that no more inmates try to stab him to death.

which kind of murderers? taliban? russian arms dealers? maybe some silk road darkweb druglords perhaps?

 

[Halge]

A slow, sadistic, miserable public torture and execution in the middle of the street, in broad day light.
Waste away your years behind bars, motherfucker.

Elon is the richest racist in the world. Paying taxes and human rights are his ideas of oppression. I'm looking forward to this piece of shit nazi's downfall.

Known criminal resisting arrest was restrained until ambulance arrived. Known criminal died. Innocent man doing his duty sent to prison for 21 years. Because Internet mob.

 

[Corona]

Smh at Elon betraying his own African brethren

 

[ThaiSexPills]

When Trump actually saw George Floyd get murdered, he surprised aides by his reaction. He actually said “that’s disgusting” and legitimately looked disgusted by it. Which is nice, because it shows there might actually be something resembling a human underneath that orange paint.

But he’d never say it publicly, because he knows his base are a bunch of disgusting, soulless freaks.

That’s exactly why you guys lost the election.

George Floyd was a piece of shit and if the Justice system worked correctly, he wouldn’t have been on the streets in the first place. But cops can’t be the judge, jury and executioner either and at the very least, Chauvin is responsible for allowing Floyd to die

 

[Mack Yancy]

This is just a lie….I don’t know why y’all are deep throating Chauvin so much. Floyd wasn’t a great person but we can’t just have people getting killed.
