Seems I got a week ahead of myself in pronouncing Activity Director’s End of Summer Luncheon. That event is not until next Tuesday — still five or six weeks before the actual end of summer, but whatever.
Today, thus far, has been a disappointment insofar as Indictment/Arraignment No. 4. I’ve seen no news as to what if anything is going on with No. 45 showing up at the Fulton County courthouse.
I did however run across news that Thao, the former cop who held back bystanders while Chauvin murdered George Floyd was sentenced to an additional 4.75 years in prison on state charges for holding back those concerned citizens, including a first responder — an off-duty firefighter who walked up on the scene, identified herself, asked to be allowed to provide aid to Floyd.
The arrogance Thao displayed toward that first responder with his "If you are who you say you are, then you know not to get involved", disturbed me just as much as Chavin’s actions, so these additional years — to run concurrent with the three and a half years he’s already serving on federal charges for depriving Floyd of his civil rights, are well deserved.
Thao’s continuing arrogance is still on display with his statement at this latest sentence that he’s grown in his "Christian faith" while in prison (don't they all) and that "I did not commit these crimes. My conscience is clear. I will not be a Judas nor join a mob in self-preservation or betray my God".
Spare me!
Do your time, be grateful you didn’t get life and wake the f*ck up.
And speaking of arrogance, just how arrogant and privileged can a person be to think they can park their pontoon in a place designated on a dock for the Riverboat. THEN, not only refuse to untie and move your boat when the dock employee asks you to so the Riverboat can come in and while folks on the Riverboat are chanting the line "Move b*tch get outta the way" from Ludacris' song at you. THEN, when the dock employee goes to untie your pontoon himself, you assault him. THEN seven more of your arrogant privileged friends pile on this one dock employee and begin to beat, kick, assault him.
How arrogant and privileged in your thinking must you be to think that any of this is okay for you to do?
Tee shirts are already out commemorating those who stepped up and revoked that privilege card.
There’s also talk of making August 5 an unofficial holiday.
I imagine some of those who stepped up will need bail money and lawyers — for sure Chair Guy will need bail and a lawyer.
I stand ready to donate to legitimate gofunds and hopefully lawyers will step up pro bono.
Hadn't heard of "The Battle of Montgomery AL" but it doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteIt surprised me because 1) the way it started was so outrageous. I mean you're going to take up the spot where the Riverboat docks and assault 8 on 1 the dock employee because you don't like a Black man telling you what to do and 2) the way it ended with so many coming together to say we're tired of this crap, no more and not today.
DeleteThat attack on the dock was appalling. I hope they all get hit hard legally for what they did. What a bunch of ignorant assholes. Thao’s behavior was a disgrace and he disgraces himself more with each statement he makes.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for Hate Crime charges against the pontoon boat eight.
DeleteThe ones who deem themselves privileged are even worse when held accountable. Zero remorse. They make me sick.
ReplyDeleteNo remorse but it was satisfying to see them get their asses kicked.
DeleteI've been seeing video of what happened on that dock and that was just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThere was more ridiculousness at the hospital, where they called the cops to complain they were scared because the doctors and nurses were Black. So NOW they're scared after starting the whole thing.
DeleteJust can't get my head around these idiots who call the police when they encounter black people. And how someone can be scared of hospital staff beggars belief!
ReplyDeleteWhen the Entitlement card doesn't work for them, then they pull out the Victim card.
Deletedee level ov stoo-pid jus blowz my mind
ReplyDeleteEntitlement. They are accustomed to getting away with this kind of stuff. Probably the first time they were and are faced with consequences.
